Answer:

The real rate of return is 0.10%

Explanation:

For computing the real rate of return, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:

( 1 + nominal rate) = ( 1 + real rate) × (1 + inflation rate)

So,

The real rate = {(1 + nominal rate) ÷  (1 + inflation rate)} - 1

                     = ((1 + 3.10%) ÷  (1 + 2%)} - 1

                     = (1.031 ÷ 1.02) - 1

                     = 1.0107 - 1

                     = 0.10

The Government T-bills is only the nominal rate so we considered this only

A merchandiser returned inventory worth $1,400 that was purchased on account. Under the periodic inventory system, the joumal
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a debit to Accounts Payable for $1,400 and a $1,400 credit to Purchase Returns allowances

Explanation:

Periodic inventory system is one that updates information on inventory on a periodic basis. This is opposite of perpetual inventory system that requires update of inventory system at all times.

In the scenario the merchandiser bought the goods on account. That means he did not pay cash but rather bought on credit.

On purchasing the items accounts payable will be credited thereby increasing the account balance.

Since the items are being returned a debit will be applied to accounts payable resulting in a decrease in the account balance.

A credit will now be posted to purchase returns allowances to show that products have been returned by a buyer

Shockingly inadequate consideration can indicate the existence of what exceptions? choose three:
Kipish [7]

This can indicate fraud, duress, or undue influence.

In contracts, "consideration" is the things of value each side gives up in an exchange. So if one side gives $1 for a cup of coffee, that might be ok. Now, consider if the contract was to sell your entire house for $1! That would be a shockingly inadequate exchange because even the cheapest home is worth way more than $1.

In that case, the judge might look at <em><u>why</u></em> someone would be willing to give up so much for so little. Were they falsely told there home was worth nothing or maybe told that they would get $1 upfront and more later? That would be <u>fraud</u>. Were they told to sign the contract with a gun pointed at their head? That is an example of <u>duress</u>. Finally, did the person helping them with the contract have undue influence? If your boss, parent, or favorite celebrity advises you to do something that you don't want to do, but you worry about what they will thing if you don't, then you were a victim of their <u>undue influence. </u>

Tessler farms has a return on equity of 11.28 percent, a debt-equity ratio of 1.03, and a total asset turnover of .87. what is t
Digiron [165]
<span>Return on equity = 11.28 percent = 11.28/100 = 0.1128
debt-equity ratio =1.03
total asset turnover = 0.87
return on assets = ?
we can find return on assets by using the formula
= return on equity / (1 + debt equity ratio)
= 0.1128 / (1 + 1.03)
= 0.1128 / 2.03
= 0.0556 = 0.0556 x 100 = 5.56%
So, the return on assets is 5.56%</span>
