Answer:
An information is missing on this question but I found the complete details as shown below;
"A company borrows $50,000 by signing a $50,000, 8% note that requires six equal payments of
<em>10816</em> (round to the nearest dollar) at the end of each year. (The present value of an annuity of six
annual payments, discounted at 8% equals 4.6229.) "
Explanation:
An annuity payment is made in equal amounts for a specified period of time in this case 6 years.
Since the equal payments are made annually and you are given the Present value of the annuity as $50,000 & discount factor of 4.6229, divide the PV by the discount factor. The value of equal payments should be equivalent to the $<em>10816 ;</em>
<em>=50,000 / </em>4.6229
= 10815.7217
Next, round the answer to the nearest dollar;
When rounded to the nearest whole number it becomes $10,816.

Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
1. FIFO inventory > LIFO inventory
(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first or sold first so the remaining inventory are old inventory which is less costlier.)
2. FIFO cost of goods sold < LIFO cost of goods sold
(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first which are expensive so the cost of production is greater than FIFO.)
3. FIFO net income > LIFO net income
(Because cost of production is less under FIFO and the value of closing inventory is high, therefore the net income is also high.)
4. FIFO income taxes > LIFO income taxes
(Since, income is high in FIFO, therefore the tax under FIFO will be higher.)
b)
Management would like prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices because Income shown in the company's Tax return will be higher if we use FIFO rather than using LIFO.
Answer: b. It can identify transactions where the transaction date is in a future period and the cleared date is in the statement period
.
Explanation:
QuickBooks online uses machine learning based on the transactions that it conducts with its millions of users so that it provides a better experience for those same users.
One way machine learning is used is in reconciliation where it identifies transactions that may have a future date but by virtue of their clearing dates should be in the current period and so may have been hidden.
Answer:
E. $41.69
Explanation:
We know,
Value of stock (
) = 
[In case of constant growth model]
= Next year or expected dividend
= required rate of return
g = growth rate = 5.50%
However, as there is no information regarding expected dividend, we will use the alternative formula to calculate the stock's expected price 3 years from today.
= × 
Here, current stock price, = $35.50
Therefore, = $35.50 × 
= $35.50 × 1.1742
Stock's expected price 3 years from now = $41.69 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, option E is the answer.
