As the price level rises ceteris paribus people holding some of their wealth in monetary form because:_____
klio [65]

Answer:

a. less wealthy and they buy less.

Explanation:

we are assuming a situation where the price level rises (inflation rises), so anyone holding cash will be able to purchase a smaller amount of goods with the same amount of cash simply because the goods are more expensive. E.g. you purchased 10 goods with $100, but if the inflation rate increases to 10%, you will be able to purchase only 9 goods with the same $100. As inflation rises, people holding cash (or other monetary form) will lose wealth and purchasing power.

The partnership of Anderson, Berry, Hammond, and Winwood is being liquidated. It currently holds cash of $20,000 but no other as
Rashid [163]

Answer:

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have,

Capital balances

Anderson     40%       $20,000

Berry             30%      $12,000

Hammond     20%      $17,000 (Deficit)

Winwood       10%       $25,000 (Deficit)

a. Total deficit in this case will be = Share of Hammond + Winwood = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Berry's share = \frac{30}{30+40} \times 42,000 = 18,000

Since Berry's current balance = $12,000

Contribution required = $18,000 - $12,000 = $6,000

b-1. Total deficit of Winwood = $25,000

Hammond share = \frac{20}{20+30+40} \times 25,000 = 5,556

Hammond's current balance = - $17,000

Thus, contribution from Hammond = $5,556 + $17,000 = $22,556

b-2. Total deficit balance = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Total sufficient balance = $20,000 + $12,000 = $32,000

Net deficit balance = $42,000 - $32,000 = $10,000

Anderson share in Deficit of Winwood = 25,000 \times \frac{40}{40 + 30 +20} = 11,111

Thus, net capital of Anderson = $20,000 - $11,111 = $8,889

Berry's share in deficit of Winwood = 25,000 \times \frac{30}{40+30+20} = 8,333

Thus, net capital from Berry = $12,000 - $8,333 = $3,667

c. Total deficit from Hammond = $17,000

Anderson share = 17,000 \times \frac{40}{40+30+10} = 8,500

Anderson's current balance = $20,000

Amount extra contributed by Anderson = $20,000 - $8,500 = $11,500

Thus, Anderson will receive $11,500 on liquidation.

Final Answer

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500
