Answer:

B) There has been economic growth in our society.

Explanation:

The American economy has consistently been the largest economy in the world since 1871, while the rest of the economic podium has changed a lot. Currently the Chinese economy is number 2, but just a few years ago the Japanese economy was on second place. The United Kingdom is currently a large economy, but it was number 1 before the US, and then it continued to fall to the sixth place. Argentina was once of the largest economies and richest economies in the world, and now it is a developing nation.

The only constant position (at least until China surpasses the US) during the last 150 years has been the US at number 1.

That doesn't mean that the US economy grew every year and there were no recessions. The largest global recession originated in the US in 1929, the Great Depression. And just a few years back, in 2008 the Great Recession hit the US. The US has suffered from several minor recessions as well.

Mary traded furniture used in her business to a furniture dealer for some new furniture. Mary originally purchased the furniture
likoan [24]

Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

From the time an asset is acquired until the time it is sold, an asset experiences a number of events which causes an increase or decrease of its total value. Th adjusted basis of a given asset, takes the base price of an asset and adjusts it for changes in value reflecting enhancements and or depreciation. For instance, a given asset purchased for $100, depreciates by $10 and has an improvement of $60 would have an adjusted basis of $100 - $10 + $60 = $150.

Now when Mary bought her furniture, the adjusted basis was $20,000. At the time of exchange, the fair market value of the furniture is $4,000 whereas Mary also gave $4,000 to the dealer in the transaction. This $4,000 changes the value ans is added to the previous adjusted basis of $20,000.

Mary's adjusted basis in the new furniture after the exchange is:

= $4,000 + $20,000

= $24,000

mina [271]

Answer:

1. d. $825

2. b. $750

3. c. $795

Explanation:

1. Transfer price under the resale price method

Acceptable price under resale method = Selling price of Subsidiary - Profit%  

= $1,100 - 25%*$1,100

= $1,100 - $275

= $825

2. Transfer price under the cost-plus method

Cost plus method = Cost+Markup

= $500 + $500*50%

= $500 + $250

= $750

3. Transfer price under the comparable profits method

Comparable profits method = Selling price - Profit  - Other costs

= $1,100 - $1,100*5% - $250

= $1,100 - $55 - $250

= $795

Consider a bond with the following characteristics. Par: $1,000 Two coupon payments per year (i.e., coupons are paid semi-annual
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The new price of the bond is $928.94

Explanation:

Initially the bond's price is equal to its par value which means the coupon rate on bond and the market interest rates are the same i.e. 6%.

Th bond's price is calculated as the sum of the present value of the annuity of interest payments by the bond and the present value of the face value of the bond that will be received at maturity. The discount rate used to calculate the present values is the market interest rate.

As the bond is a semiannual bond, we will use the semi annual coupon payment, the semi annual percentage of the annual rate of interest on market and the number of semi annual periods outstanding.

Semi annual coupon payment = 1000 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $30

Number of semiannual periods till maturity = 10 * 2 = 20 periods

New market interest rate = 6 + 1 = 7% annual

New semi annual market interest rate = 7% / 2 = 3.5%

Price of bond =  30 * [ (1 - (1+0.035)^-20) / 0.035 ] + 1000 / (1+0.035)^20

Price of bond = $928.938 rounded off to $928.94

We used the present value of annuity ordinary formula for preset value of interest payments and the normal present value of principal formula for the face value.
