1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here are the missing answers:

<em>a. medium of exchange</em>

<em>b. unit of account</em>

<em>c. backed by a precious metal</em>

<em>d. store of value</em>

<u>The answer is </u><u>c.</u>

Explanation:

Money has three general functions (characteristics):

- <em>medium of exchange</em> - Mainly created as the substitute of barter, money has the elementary use as an intermediary when exchanging goods or services.

- <em>unit of account</em> -  In order to compare the value of certain goods and services, it is essential to measure them. This is where money applies as unit of account.

- <em>store of value </em>- Given that the money is stable (purchasing power and limited inflation), it is a general option for storing value. That means it can always be easily exchanged into goods or services, no matter the time.

According to basic elimination, <u>c. is the correct answer</u>. Also, it is also known that <em>backing money with gold</em> or silver reserves is an old practice which is irrelevant for most currencies nowadays. Today, the government is backing up the value of its currency. Such money is called <em>fiat money</em>.

nirvana33 [79]

In order to preserve independence, Michael must "Remove himself from the engagement as he considers the offer." (Option B). It is to be noted that this is an internal control problem.

<h3>What is Independence in this case?</h3>

The absence of situations that jeopardize the internal audit activity's capacity to carry out internal audit tasks objectively is called Independence.

Practically, independence is achieved by ensuring that the internal audit activity has no management control for any of the organization's non-audit functions that are subject to internal audit assessments, and by distancing the internal audit activity's management from the functional oversight of the organization's senior management.

The bond has a coupon rate of 6.83 percent, it makes semiannual payments, and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment. A c
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The invoice price for the bond is $1,060.38

Explanation:

Given the following:

PV= Par value = $1,000 ,

CV= Clean Price = $1,049

Coupon Rate per annum = 6.83%

To calculate the Semiannual Coupon Rate= Coupon Rate per annum/2= 3.415%

To calculate Semiannual Coupon= Semiannual Coupon Rate*PV

= 3.415% * $1,000  = $34.15

With an interest accured over 2 months, we calculate it thus:

Accrued Interest = $34.15 * 2/6 = $11.38

To calculate Invoice price:

Invoice Price = CP + Accrued Interest

Invoice Price = $1,049.00 + $11.38

Invoice Price = $1,060.38
