Answer: 3%

Explanation:

To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:

= [(126-120)/120] × 100

= 6/120 × 100

= 5%

Real interest rate will now be:

= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate

= 8% - 5%

= 3%

n 2018, Warehouse 13 had net credit sales of $750,000. On January 1, 2018, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance
Finger [1]

Answer:

$28,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Given that Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables

Allowance = 10% * $150,000

= $15,000

Since during 2018, $29,000 of uncollectible accounts receivable were written off

Balance in allowance account before adjustment

= $29,000 - $16,000

= $13,000 (Debit)

Required adjustment for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2018

= $13,000 + $15,000

= $28,000

Suppose you have the following disposable income and consumption data for an economy, as shown in the table below.
forsale [732]

Answer:

Consumption is a key component in the calculation of GDP and refers to how much money out of disposable income is spent by households on goods (both durable and non-durable) and services.

Disposable income is how much money households have after taxes. Their consumption and spending come from here.

Whatever is not spent is saved. Savings are therefore calculated as;

Savings = Disposable income - Consumption

Savings for the above are therefore,

$20,000 - $22,000 = -$2,000

21,000 - 22,500 = -$1,500

22,000 - 23,000 = -$1,000

23,000 - 23,500 = -$500

24,000 - 24,000 = $0

25,000 - 24,500 = $500

26,000 - 25,000 = $1,000

27,000 - 25,500 = $1,500

28,000 - 26,000 = $2,000
