What will happen to the U.S. Housing Market?

Business
1 answer:
algol133 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Currently the price of homes has exceeded the 2006 peak, just before the housing bubble burst. The price index has increased more than 40% since 2012.

It has been many years now of a strong economy, with an economic expansion lasting for 11 years (since June 2009), which is actually record breaking. A lot of economists were expecting a recession soon, with the current health crisis not helping, and the recession finally arrived on June 2020.

The combination of historically high prices for homes and an economic recession can be very hurtful. The advantage of the current situation is that the level of delinquent or subprime mortgages is currently much lower than 14 years ago. Actually, the amount of debt per household has decreased since 2006, and is quite stable right now at moderate or low levels. Many households spent much of the past years paying off debt, so they didn't have time to take new debt.

If the recession gets worse, a price correction will be inevitable, but it wouldn't be as large as the 2007 decrease. Only in a few cities in California, Washington, Nevada and Oregon can you find situations similar to 2006, where a strong supply hasn't been enough to balance the prices due to a stronger demand and high mortgage debt. But even there, the situation will not be as bad.

Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion co
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: 60%

Explanation:

Find the ending work in process.

Materials are complete at inception so the Equivalent units of Materials represent the total units.

Ending WIP will therefore be:

= Materials EUP - Units started and completed

= 5,000 - 3,500

= 1,500 units

Stage of completion is based on Conversion.

Conversion EUP = Total started and completed + (x% * Closing WIP)

4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)

4,400 = 3,500 + 15x

15x = 4,400 - 3,500

15x = 900

x = 900/15

x = 60%

<em>Conversion is 60% complete so this is the stage of completion. </em>

For each of the goods, classify them according to whether they are rivalrous, nonrivalrous, excludable, or nonexcludable. Rivalr
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

1. Sports Team Shirt - Excludable / Rivalrous

2. Air we breathe - Non - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous

3. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna - Non -Excludable / Rivalrous

4. A Toll Road - Excludable / Non - Rivalrous

Explanation:

A rivalrous good is one in which usage, by an individual limits the ability of another to use the same good. Rival goods are tangible. This means that they can be held or touched. Examples in this category are; A sports team shirt and, the Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna. Eating a Tuna would limit access to another person, who wants to eat Tuna at that point in time. The same would apply to wearing a sports shirt.

A Non - Rivalrous good is one in which usage by an individual does not limit consumption by another. Most non - tangible goods are non -

rivalrous. Examples in this category are; the air we breathe, and the Toll Road. Almost anyone can access these.

Excludable goods are only used after payment for them has been made. Examples are the Toll Road and the Sports Team Shirt.

Non - Excludable goods can be used even when payment has not been made. Examples are Air and The Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna which anyone can access.

Mariposa Corporation is considering purchasing equipment for $200,000. Mariposa expects this equipment will last for 20 years an
Westkost [7]

Answer:

$24,220

Explanation:

After tax cashflow formula as follows;

AT cashflow = Income before taxes(1- tax) + annual depreciation amount

Depreciation amount is added back because even though it is an expense deducted to arrive at the income before tax, it is not an actual cash outflow.

Annual depreciation amount = $200,000/ 20 = $10,000

AT cashflow = 18,000*(1-0.21) + 10,000

= 14,220 + 10,000

= 24,220

Therefore, Mariposa’s expected cash flow after taxes per year is $24,220

Anthony Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $287,270 and has a guaranteed interest rat
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

15 years

Explanation:

The target accumulated future amount is the future value of the initial investment(present value), hence, using the future value formula provided below we can determine the investment time horizon in years required to accumulate the target amount:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV=$1,200,000

PV=$287,270

r=10%

n=investment period in years=unknown

$1,200,000=$287,270*(1+10%)^n

$1,200,000/$287,270=(1+10%)^n

$1,200,000/$287,270=(1.10)^n

take log of both sides

ln($1,200,000/$287,270)=n ln(1.10)

n=ln($1,200,000/$287,270)/ln(1.10)

n=15.00years
