Answer:

-1.5

Explanation:

Given the following :

Rothschild index = 0.6

Elasticity of demand for total market = - 0.9

Annual sale = $1,450,000

Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product :

Using the Rothschild demand Elasticity relation:

Rothschild index = (Elasticity of demand for total market / Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product

0.6 = - 0.9 / Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product

Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product = - 0.9 / 0.6

= - 1.5

1-a. Allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the separate assets purchased. 1-b. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchas
marin [14]

Answer:

1. a. Allocated prices

First add the market values = 444,150 + 255,150 + 56,700 + 189,000 = $945,0

00

Building allocated price                                     Land allocated price

= 444,150/ 945,000 * 830,000                        = 255,150/945,000 * 830,000

= $‭390,100‬                                                           = $224,100

Land improvement allocated price                  Four vehicles allocate price

= 56,700/945,000 * 830,000                          = 189,000/945,000 * 830,000

= $49,800                                                        = $166,000

b. Journal entry

Date                 Account Details                             Debit                   Credit

Jan. 1, 2017      Building                                       $390,100

                        Land                                            $224,100

                        Land improvement                     $49,800

                        Vehicles                                      $166,000

                        Cash                                                                         $830,000

2. Depreciation on building using straight-line method.

= (390,100 - 28,000) / 15

= $‭24,140‬

3. Depreciation on land improvements using double declining method.

First do straight line:

= 49,800/ 5 years

= $9,960

Straight line rate of depreciation = 9,960/49,800 = 20%

Double declining will be twice that rate = 40%

Depreciation = 40% * 49,800

= $‭19,920‬

The following U.S. Treasury bond is listed in the The Wall Street Journal: Rate Mo/Yr Bid Asked 9.50 Oct 38 135:30 136:04 This $
STatiana [176]

Answer:

6.35%

Explanation:

If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40

the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months

the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods

yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]

YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%

Nady [450]

Answer:

6.1%

Explanation:

As per given data

                                                             Proposal X     Proposal Y

Investment                                           ​$900,000      ​$488,000

Useful life                                             ​9 years           9 years

Annual net cash inflows for 9 years ​  $130,000       ​$84,000

Residual value  ​                                   ​ $42,000        $0

Depreciation method                          Straight-line   Straight-line

Required rate of return ​                       15%                 ​12%

Accounting rate of return is the ratio of average net income of a project and the average investment made in the project.

Accounting rate of return = Average Net income / Average Investment

As net cash inflows are given we need to deduct the depreciation from the cash flows to arrive at the net income for the period. As all cash flows are constant so, the average value will be equal to the single years value.

Average net income = Net cash inflows - Depreciation = Net cash inflows - ( Cost of Asset - Residual value ) / Useful life of asset = $84,000 - ( $488,000 - $0) / 9 = $84,000 - $54,222 = $29,778

Average Investment  = $488,000

Placing Values in the formula

Accounting rate of return = $29,778 / $488,000 = 6.1%
