In 1626, Dutchman Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from a local Native American tribe. Historians estimate that the price

he paid for the island was about $24 worth of goods, including beads, trinkets, cloth, kettles, and axe heads. Many people find it laughable that Manhattan Island would be sold for $24, but you need to consider the future value (FV) of that price in more current times. If the $24 purchase price could have been invested at a 4% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2012 (386 years later)?

Answer:

Future value of the island = $90,173,767 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Present value in 1626 = $24

Annual interest rate = 4% = 4 / 100 = 0.04

Number of year (1626 - 2012) = 386 years

Future value = ?

Computation of future value:

Future\ value = 24(1+0.04)^{386}\\\\Future\ value = 24(1.04)^{386}\\\\Future\ value = 24(3,757,240.28)\\\\Future\ value = 90,173,766.7\\\\

Future value of the island is $90,173,766.70

Future value of the island = $90,173,767 (Approx)

His American Opportunity tax credit is $2,500.

Explanation:

A taxpayer who has a modified adjusted gross income of $80,000 or less can claim the credit for the qualified expenses of an eligible student.

Taxpayers will receive a tax credit based on 100% of the first $2,000, plus 25% of the next $2,000 that is paid during the taxable year for tuition, fees and course materials and also, 40% of the credit (up to $1,000) is refundable.

Therefore, His American Opportunity tax credit is $2,500.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D, Consumers.

In the game of economics, producers get information they need to determine how much people are willing to pay for a good or service from Consumers.

Explanation:

In the game of economics, consumers are the ones who will consume the products produced by the companies/producers, and they are the ones who will determine how much they are wiling to pay for a good or service.

For example, if a product's price is set at 5 dollars but no one is willing to pay 5 dollars for that product, then producers have to lower the prices to meet the customers' demands, and to sell their products.

So in this way, customers determine the prices of the products.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

c. $ 95,000 $ 0

Explanation:

<u>Calculation of cost of land acquired</u>

For the purpose of recording of land acquired in the books of accounts, the accounting values of consideration paid shall be considered as per the generally accepted accounting principles as well as as per International accounting standard (IAS) - 16 'Property, plant and equipment'. Hence the land shall be recorded as per the following amounts:

Consideration paid in cash (A) = $ 5,000

Consideration in kind (land) (B) = $ 90,000 (Refer Note 1)

Total cost of new land (A+B) = $ 95,000

<em>Note 1</em>

Fair value is irrelevant for the purpose of capitalization of asset (IAS-16)

<u>Calculation of Gain/loss on disposal of land</u>

No gain/loss needs to be recorded as the new asset shall be recorded in terms of the book value of old asset (i.e. net impact is already taken into account during the exchange transaction)
