Answer:

Explanation:

Future value after 24 months = 1200

present value = 1000

Let monthly rate of interest = r

1000 = 1200/( 1+r )²⁴

( 1+r )²⁴ = 1200/1000

( 1+r )²⁴ = 1.2

taking log on both sides

24 log( 1+r ) = log 1.2

24 log( 1+r ) = .07918

log( 1+r ) = .003299

( 1+r ) = 1.007625

r = .007625

monthly rate of interest in percent = .7625%

II Option

Future value after 24 months = 1220

present value = 1020 - 20 = 1000

Let monthly rate of interest = r

1000 = 1220/( 1+r )²⁴

( 1+r )²⁴ = 1220/1000

( 1+r )²⁴ = 1.22

taking log on both sides

24 log( 1+r ) = log 1.22

24 log( 1+r ) = .086359

log( 1+r ) = .003598

( 1+r ) = 1.008319

r = .008319

monthly rate of interest in percent = .8319%

b )

Effective annual rate of uncle = (1.007625)¹² -1

= 1.09543 - 1 = .09543

In percent = 9.543 %

Effective annual rate of greedy friend = ( 1.008319)¹² -1

= 1.1045 -1

= 10.45 %

c ) The first  one is cheaper so it is preferable.

During the current fiscal year, jeremiah corp. signed a long-term noncancellable purchase commitment with its primary supplier.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Option A. Debit unrealized holding gain or loss for $400,000 and credit estimated liability on purchase commitment for $400,000.

Explanation:

According to the Accounting Principles losse are always debited and gains are always credited. This means that the notional loss or gain due to the decrease or increase in the value of the contract must be recorded in the current year by debit or credit respectively.

The notional gain or loss at the end of fiscal year, can be calculated by taking the difference of the Agreed value and the current market value of the contract.

The agreed value of the contract is $2,000,000 and the Market Value is $1,600,000, which means that the unrealized losses are $400,000 ($2,000,000 - $1,600,000).

The double entry would be recording the losses of $400,000 due to technologically decrease in the value:

Dr Unrealized Loss $400000  

Cr Estimated liability on Purchase Commitment  $400000

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Income tax expense of $14 million should report in the income statement

Explanation:

Southeast Airline should report the income on the basis of their earning in the year.

Earning Before Tax = $30 Million

Tax on Earning Before Tax = $30 Million x 40% = $12 million

Gain on disposal = $5 million

Tax on Gain on disposal = $5 million x 40% = 2 million

Total Income tax = $12 million + $2 million = $14 million

Another way

Total Income tax = ( $30 million + $5 million ) x 40% = $14 million
