Why might long-term interest rates go down at the same time that the federal reserve pushes short-term rates up?

1 answer:

3 0

Because the federal reserve would want to discourage quick investments or want people to save more money right now. Long term rates would go down because these are well thought out infrastructure projects that are good for the long run.

You ask for something small, and then that makes them more likely to give you something larger when you ask.

3. If a balance sheet were prepared for Pala Medical Co. on June 30, 20Y1 the amount to be reported as cask is $166,436

Explanation:

1. The balance shown by the bank statement seldom agree with the balance shown by the cash book, bank reconciliation statement is usually drawn up to agree the balance shown by the bank statement with the balance shown by the cash book.

In this question:

a. Check outstanding of $19,427 are checks issued to creditors which where not presented for payment. generally known as unpresented checks.

b. The receipts of $12,300 recorded in Pala Medical Co. cash book was not credited by the bank, this will obviously cause a disagreement between the bank statement and the cash book at month end.

c. The amount of $26,500 recorded in the bank statement must be reported correctly the the cash book and the relevant ledger by debiting the cash book by the total receipt of $26,500 and crediting investment and with $25,000 and crediting the interest elements to interest income account.

d. The wrong recording of $400 instead of $4000 must be corrected by reversing the initial entry. this is done by debiting Cash book with $400 and crediting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $400 and recording the correct entry by debiting Creditor account - Skyline Supply Co. with $4000 and crediting cash book by $4000.

e. The check of $195 is recorded correctly already in the cash book, it is the bank to pass the necessary entry but it will only enter the company cash book.

f. Bank service charge should be recorded by debiting bank charges with $55 and crediting cash book with $55

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: The creditor will be able to recover $1,350

Explanation:

The amount that the creditor will be able to recover will be the contract price less the damages for the minor breach by the company.

In this case, the company finished all of the tasks except for the cleaning of the oven. Since this is minor with regards to the contract, the company will be seen to have performed its contract.

Since we are told the cost of finishing the job was 10% of the contract cost, this will be regarded as a minor breach, therefore, the owner of the condominium cannot avoid the payment of the price of the contract price. In this case, the creditor will be able to recover ($1500 - $150) = $1,350.

Answer: B) economic responsibilities toward its shareholders

Explanation:

The primary purpose of a company is to maximize shareholder wealth. This means that it is to pursue strategy that would ensure the maximum return to its shareholders. This is also known as its economic responsibility towards shareholders.

Producing xylene-free paints reduces the dividends that are going to shareholders so it would seem that shareholder wealth is not being maximized and they are not getting the maximum return they could get so the company is violating its economic responsibilities towards shareholders. It is for a good cause though.
