Answer:

14 years

Explanation:

Given:

Leader country GDP = $50,000

Follower country GDP = $25,000

Growth rate of follower country = 5%

It is given that growth rate of leader country is "0" So real GDP will be $50,000.

Follower country GDP is half.

So, according to double match formula

Number of years to double = 70 years / rate of growth

Number of years to double = 70 years / 5%

Number of years to double = 14 year

So, In 14 years follower country will catch the GDP of Leader country.

Bold Stapler Sales Company (BSS) began 2019 with cash of $80,000, inventory of $7,200 (400 staplers that cost $18 each), $2,000
viva [34]

Answer:

Bold Stapler Sales Company (BSS)

                                     FIFO             LIFO           Weighted Average

Ending inventory       $4,500         $3,240                 $4,122

Cost of goods sold $96,300      $97,560              $96,678

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning balances in 2019:

Cash $80,000

Inventory $7,200

Common stock $2,000

Retained earnings $2,000

Description                    Units   Unit Cost   Total

Beginning inventory        400      $18      $7,200

The first purchase        1,600      $21       33,600

The second purchase 2,400     $25       60,000

Goods available           4,400               $100,800

Sales of units              (4,220)    $45   $189,900

Ending inventory             180

FIFO:

Ending inventory = $4,500 ($25 * 180)

Cost of goods sold = $96,300 ($100,800 - $4,500)

LIFO:

Ending inventory = $3,240 ($18 * 180)

Cost of goods sold = $97,560 ($100,800 - $3,240)

Weighted Average:

Weighted average cost per unit = $22.91 ($100,800/4,400)

Ending inventory = $4,122 (22.91 * 180)

Cost of goods sold = $96,678 ($100,800 - $4,122)

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The answer is: A) expropriation

Explanation:

Expropriation is the seizure of private property by a government entity or government agency for the purpose of public interest. Usually owners that lose property due to expropriations, receive some type of compensation for their loss. It also can refer to private property being taken away by another private entity with the authorization of a government entity or agency. A common example of expropriation is land being taken away for building roads or dams.

In this case the Quality Dragon plant was expropriated by a private entity who was authorized by the government and the owner was received a monetary compensation for his loss.

You’ve collected the following information from your favorite financial website.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

-9.92%

Explanation:

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

  • Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
  • Re = cost of equity = ?
  • P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
  • g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%

Re =  (Div₁ / P₀) + g

Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%

Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%

Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.
