Answer:

Determinants of Interest Rates The real risk-free rate is 4%. Inflation is expected to be 4% this year, 5% next year, and then 4.5% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.0006 × (t - 1), where t = number of years to maturity. What is the nominal interest rate on a 7-year Treasury security?

The nominal interest rate = 8.86%.

Explanation:

Average inflation premium = (4%+5%+4.5%+4.5%+4.5%+4.5%+4.5%)/7 = 31.5%/7 = 4.50%

Maturity risk premium for 7 year bond = 0.0006 * (7-1) = 0.36%

Nominal interest rate = real risk free rate + inflation premium + maturity risk premium = 4% + 4.50% + 0.36% = 8.86%.

Therefore, the nominal interest rate for the question given = 8.86%.

<span>Mike will earn $2,400,000 for the year. Social security withholds 6.2% which equals $148,800, though Social security has a maximum base amount of $118,500. So the total amount withheld for Social Security will be $118,500. Medicare withholds 1.45% which equals $34,800. So the total amount withheld for Medicare will be $34,800.

Machinery was purchased for $85,000. Freight charges amounted to $3,500 and there was a cost of $10,000 for building a foundatio
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

b. $16,700

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($98,500 - $15,000) ÷ (5 years)

= ($83,500) ÷ (5 years)  

= $16,700

The original cost is computed below:

= Original cost  of machinery + freight charges + cost of building a foundation and  installing the machinery

= $85,000 + $3,500 + $10,000

= $98,500

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The answer is stated below:

Explanation:

A. Received or collected $10,000 in exchange of the common stock:

This transaction will have an impact on the Accounting Equation of the Accounts, which is :

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

As the cash is received, there will be an increase in the assets and under the cash account of the current assets. Though the cash is against the common stock, which increases the common stock account upon the side of the equity.

Therefore, it will be:

Increase in assets (Cash) : Increase in equity (Common Stock)

B. Bought the equipment on account worth $5,000.

This transaction will have an impact on the Accounting Equation as:

As the equipment is purchased will in turn lead to increase in the assets side, under the equipment account and it is purchased on account, which means on credit, that leads to increase in the liability under the Accounts Payable account.

Therefore, it will be:

Increase in assets (Equipment) : Increase in Liability (Accounts Payable)

If the labor supply curve is very elastic, a tax on laborA. raises enough tax revenue to offset the loss in welfare.B. has a lar
Burka [1]

Answer: .B. has a large dead weight loss

Explanation:

 The labor market basically has two forces pulling against each other, we have firms who demand labor and we have workers who are Suppliers of labor. Firms will want to hire more labor at a lower wage price while more workers will want to work when the wage price is higher as the law of supply stipulates  

The law of supply states that more is supplied at a higher price, now using the same law on the supply of labor we conclude that more labor will be supplied at a higher Wage which represents Price. A Labor Market is equilibrium when Quantity Demanded Equals Quantity Supplied. Elasticity measures the sensitivity of Demand or Supply to Price Changes. The amount of Change in the Quantity supplied or demanded depends on how elastic the demand or supply is to wage Price changes

When Supply Curve is highly elastic means a small change in wage price will have a huge impact on the Total amount Labor supplied. When government imposes Tax on labor, The Wage price will decrease and workers will now earn a wage net of tax,

The Supply curve is highly elastic meaning a small decrease in wages caused by a tax imposed on labor  will only lead to a huge decrease in the quantity of labor supplied because more people will choose not work. The tax imposed on labor creates a huge dead weight loss in the labor market because the market is no longer in equilibrium. The Quantity of labor supplied is far less than the quantity of labor demanded.
