Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

B. Less than 10%

Explanation:

An addition increase by 10 % in the physical capital stock (which is a factor of production consisting of man made goods like machineries and so on) will lead to a less than 10% increase in the Gross domestic product. This is due to the law of diminishing marginal utility which talks about the consumption increases marginal utility from each additional unit declines.

Sebastian purchases two pieces of equipment for $100,000. Appraisals of the equipment indicate that the fair market value of the
Schach [20]

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''

Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.

Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation . In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000

Kieso Company borrowed $740,000 for three months. The annual interest rate on the loan was 9%. Kieso's fiscal year ends on Decem
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Last Fiscal Year:

Interest Expense = $5550

Current Fiscal Year:

Interest Expense = $11100

Explanation:

According to the accrual basis of accounting, the expenses and revenues relating to a certain period should be recorded in that particular period whether of not they have been received. The fiscal year of Kieso ends on 31 December and as the loan was taken one month prior to the start of the current fiscal year, it was taken at the start of December of last fiscal year.

This means that the interest expense on loan relating to last December will be charged to the last fiscal year and the interest expense relating to January and February will be charged to the current fiscal year. The interest expense amount will be calculated as follows,

Last Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 1/12  => $5550

Current Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 2/12  => $11100

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Option "C" is the answer.

Explanation:

Option "C" is the answer.

The decrease in the supply of oil will shift the supply curve leftwards. Similarly, the increases in the demand will shift the demand curve rightwards. The leftwards shift in the supply and rightward shift in the demand curve will result in an increase in price but the change in quantity can not be predicted because the magnitude of change will depend on the shift in the curves.
