Answer:
These two options represent nominal values:
-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.
-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
They are expressed in monetary value without taking into account inflation, or without being represented in terms of something else.
This option represents real value:
-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.
The price of a beignet, nominally $3.00 is being expressed in relation to the price of something else: paperback novels, whose nominal price is $9.00.
In other words, in real terms, a beignet costs a third of what a paperback novel costs.
Answer:
$46,666.67
Explanation:
Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001
He earned $70,000 in 2006
The consumer price index in 2001 was 177 and in 2006 was 265.5
Therefore his salary in 2001 can be calculated as follows
= 70,000/265.5 × 177
= 263.65 × 177
= 46,666.67
Answer:
Yes we should go with this project because it has a positive NPV of $4,350
Explanation:
We need to calculate the net present value of the machine to decide whether to invest in the machine or not.
As per Given Data
Costs $270,000
Cash Inflows
Year 2 $100,000
Year 3 $150,000
Year 4 $75,000
Interest Rate = 6%
Net Present Value
As we know Net Present value is calculated by discounting each years cash flows using using the Weighted Average cost of Capital.
Year Cash Inflows Discount factor 13% Present values
Year 0 $(270,000) (1+6%)^-0 $(270,000)
Year 2 $100,000 (1+6%)^-2 $89,000
Year 3 $150,000 (1+6%)^-3 $125,943
Year 4 $75,000 (1+6%)^-4 <u>$59,407 </u>
Net present value <u>$4,350 </u>

This change in accounting policy as per the requirement s of the standard, must be disclosed in the notes to financial statements. Furthermore the changes in equity must only be opted if it increases the truth and fairness of the financial statement.
