Answer:

$15,300

Explanation:

Allowance for doubtful account at the beginning of the year $13,900

Less increased in the balance of doubt account $19,800

Balance $5,900

Therefore:

Bad debt at the end of the year $21,200- $5,900 =$15,300

The bad debt expense represents the direct write off of bad accounts ($15,300) in which it also represents an increase in the allowance account which is an estimate of bad accounts to be written off in the future ($5,900). Therefore the increase in the allowance account cannot be deducted.

Suppose business decision makers become more optimistic about the future and, as a result, increase their investment spending by
Art [367]

Answer:

$80 million

Explanation:

We know that

Multiplier = (1) ÷ (1 - marginal propensity to consume)

                = (1) ÷ (1 - 0.75)

                = (1) ÷ (0.25)

                = 4

Now the GDP would increase by

= Increase in  Investment spending × multiplier effect

= $20 billion × 4

= $80 million increase

We simply multiplied the investment spending increase with the multiplier effect

aniked [119]

Answer: D. increases in government purchases.

Crowding out may occur simply due to expansionary fiscal policy that is, a situation wherby the government wants to increase the money in circulation and also increase its expenditure. This can lead to the government borrowing funds.

Crowding out may occur when fiscal policy involves increases in government purchases. This borrowing in turn, affects the money that will be available to the private investors as there'll be lesser funds for them.

Explanation:

GDP is a short form of Gross Domestic Product which is an indicator of total goods produced in an economy in a period of one year.

Using the expenditure method,GDP van be computed using the below formula:

GDP=C+I+G+(X-M)

C is the consumption in the economy which is $9000

I is the level of investment at $3,000

G is the government expenditure of $3,500

X is the export of $2,500

M is the import of $2,700

GDP=$9000+$3000+$3500+($2500-$2700)

GDP=$15,300

Yield to Maturity and Call with Semiannual Payments Thatcher Corporation's bonds will mature in 12 years. The bonds have a face
Dovator [93]

Answer:

rounding to two decimal places: 11.11%

Explanation:

we can se the approximate formula for YTM

YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}

C=  57.5 (1,000 x 11.5%/2)

Face value = 1000

P= 1050 (market value)

n= 24 (12 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM = \frac{57.5 + \frac{1,00 - 1,050}{24}}{\frac{1,000+1,050}{2}}

semiannual YTM =  5.4065041%

This is a semiannual rate as we consider semiannula payment.

We need to convert into annual rate:

(1 + 0.054065041)^{2}  - 1

YTM 11.1053109921343000%

rounding to two decimal places: 11.11%

Theresa’s Flower Garden has 750 bonds outstanding that are selling for $989 each, 2,500 shares of preferred stock with a market
Sidana [21]

Answer:

weight of preferred stock = 4.63 %

Explanation:

given data

Number of outstanding bonds = 750

selling price  = $989 each

preferred stock = 2,500 shares

market price = $47 a share

number of common stock = 30,000

common stock valued = $56 share

solution

we first get here total market value that is express as

total market value  = Number of outstanding bonds × selling price per bond + number of preferred stock × market price per share + number of common stock × par value per share    ......................1

put here value and we get

total market value = 750 × $989 + 2,500 × $47 + 30,000 × $56

solve it we get

total market value = $2539250

and

here now we get weight of preferred stock that will be

weight of preferred stock = Total value of preferred stock ÷ total market value × 100   .........................2

put here value

weight of preferred stock = ( 2,500 × $47 ) ÷ $2539250  × 100

weight of preferred stock = 4.63 %
