Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Initial amount invested  = $50 × 100 × 50% = $2,500

Profit from sale and repurchase = ($50 - $40) × 100 = $1,000

Rate of return = $1,000 ÷ $2,500 = 0.40, or 40%.

Therefor, the rate of return would be 40%.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option "B" is the correct answer to the following statement.

Explanation:

Given:

Exchange rate of 1 Baht= $0.022

Expected inflation in united states (Assume) = 3% = 0.03

Expected inflation in Thailand (Assume) = 10% = 0.10

The price in US = 1 × (1+0.03) = $1.03

The price in Thailand = 1 × (1+0.10) = 1.10 baht

1 baht = 1.03×0.022÷1.1 = $0.0206

Therefore, 1 baht = $0.21 (approx)

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The total amount of dividends paid over these three years: $8000

Explanation:

  • Net income (loss) in three years

$7,100, ($1,600), and $3,600  

=> the total net income is the first three years of operation is:

$7,100 -  ($1,600) +  $3,600  

= $9,100

This money is not kept in the Retained Earnings because it is used for dividend payment. But Earnings balance at the end of year three is $1,100, so the total amount of dividends paid over these three years:

= Total net incomes - Retained Earnings

= $9,100 - $1,100,  

= $8000

Hope it will find you well.

The opportunity cost of an item is a. what you give up to get that item. b. usually less than the dollar value of the item. c. t
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: a

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. While financial reports do not show opportunity cost, business owners can use it to make educated decisions when they have multiple options before them.

Because by definition they are unseen, opportunity costs can be easily overlooked if one is not careful. Understanding the potential missed opportunities foregone by choosing one investment over another allows for better decision-making.

Opportunity cost analysis also plays a crucial role in determining a business's capital structure. While both debt and equity require expense to compensate lenders and shareholders for the risk of investment, each also carries an opportunity cost. Funds used to make payments on loans, for example, are not being invested in stocks or bonds, which offer the potential for investment income. The company must decide if the expansion made by the leveraging power of debt will generate greater profits than it could make through investments.

Explanation:

Unamortized bond discount=original bond discount-amortization to date

original bond discount is $46,000

Amortization =interest  payable-interest expense

interest payable=$400,000*10%*6/12

                            =$20,000

Interest expense=$354,000*10%*6/12

                             =$17,700

amortization of discount=$20,000-$17,700

                                        =$2300

unamorized bond discount=$46000-$2300

                                            =$43,700

The unamorized bond discount at the end of the first six months is $43,700
