Answer:

$2.5

Explanation:

Given:

Sandwich Cost in 2006 (P0) = $4

Magazine Cost in 2006 (p0) = $2

Sandwich Cost in 2007 (P1) = $5

Magazine Cost in 20067 (p1) = ?

Consumer Price Index in 2007 = 125

Computation:

Consumer Price Index = (Current year price / Base year Price)100

125= (p1 / $2) x 100

1.25 = p1 / $2

1.25 x $2 = p1

$2.50 = p1

$2.50 = Magazine Cost In 2007

Therefore, cost of magazine in 2007 is $2.50

You would like to have enough money saved to receive $80,000 per year in perpetuity after retirement for you and your heirs. How
scoray [572]

Answer:

$1,000,000

Explanation:

The full question is shown below:

You would like to have enough money saved to receive $80,000 per year in perpetuity after retirement for you and your heirs. How much would you need to have saved in your retirement fund to achieve this goal? (Assume that the perpetuity payments start one year from the date of your retirement. The annual interest rate is 8 percent.)

In order to receive $80,000 per year forever, one needs to save the present value of the annual  cash flow using the present value formula for perpetuity as provided below:

PV of perpetuity=annual cash flow/annual interest rate

PV of perpetuity=$80,000/8%

PV of perpetuity=$1,000,000

Pop Corporation purchased 80 percent of the outstanding voting common stock of Son Corporation on January 2, 2016, for $1,200,00
mezya [45]

Answer:

Total Pops income from Son in 2016 = $30,720

Total non-controlling interest shares for 2016 = $241,280

Explanation:

Investment in Son as at Jan 2 2016 = $1,200,000

Correction of Stake in Son as a result of under valued inventory:

Total Assets on Jan 2, 2016 = $1,200,000.

Pop Corporation paid for 80% = $960,000 by paying $1,200,000

But an error of understatement revalues the Assets at $1,200,000 + $50,000 = $1,250,000. This would have equally raised the Net income by $50,000 and increased Total Equity to $1,250,000.

Pops stake in the Business is therefor $960,000 divided $1,250,000 = 76.8%

Using the Equity Method, Pop's income is:

<em>We are not told if Pop paid additional cash to make up the undervalued stock, thus we will assume his adjusted stake in the business is 76.8%</em>

Net income = 76.8% x $280,000 = $215,040

Less Dividend = 76.8% x $240,000 = $184,320

Total Pops income from Son = $30,720

The non-controlling interest shares will be:

Capital stock = 23.2% x $600,000 = $139,200

Retained Earnings = 23.2% x $440,000 = $102,080

Total non-controlling interest shares for 2016 = $241,280

What caused the unintended consequence of "there's no such thing as shovel-ready projects?"
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

A)  Any of these causes could be a reasonable answer.

Explanation:

When the government needs to spend money on service projects or products, there are many roadblocks in the way.

1. The US House has the "power of the purse," because All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives (U.S. Constitution, Art. I, sect. 7)

2. Most State Governments have to approve contracts and vet private industries to complete public works projects.

3. Like all business structures,all of the factors of production need to be in place before work can begin.

Steve issues a 30-day negotiable promissory note, payable to the order of Henry, to cover the cost of Henry buying a car for Ste
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

As the bank manager, Steve should be informed that the promissory note met all conditions and the case cannot be seen in the same light as a fraud case because the bank had no reasons to suspect any kind of fraudulent activity as everything was filled correctly and no sign of tampering on the note, it was a genuine and verified promissory note. Aside from the amount and signature, there was nothing in the note to show the agreement that both Steve and Henry had, which is not going above $5,000.

So the bank has the right to collect all its money from Steve, it is a form of negligence on the part of Steve to leave the amount blank which Henry took advantage of.

Although Steve could sue Henry for going above the amount they both agreed on.
