Suppose that you invest $100 today in a risk-free investment and let the 6 percent annual interest rate compound. What will be t

Kipish [7]

Solution :

It is given that :

Amount of investment or the principle amount , P = $ 100

Time of investment , t = 6 years

Rate of interest compounded annually r = 6 %

Therefore the future amount of this investment in a 6 year time is given by,

$$FV=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t$

$$FV=100(1+\frac{6}{100})^6$

$$FV=100(1+0.06)^6$

$FV= 100 (1.4185)$

$FV=141$

Therefore, after 6 years the investment of $ 100 will give an amount of $ 141.

Answer:

Net Assets = Total Liabilities - Total Assets

Transaction # 1

Cash comes under Permanantly Restricted Net Assets

Hence -

Net Assets = $50,000 - $50,000 = $0

Transaction # 2

As there was no transaction took place hence nothing to be reported.

Transaction # 3

Inventory comes under supply & its temporarily restricted net assets

Hence

Net Assets = $1750 - $1750 = $0

Transaction # 4

Advertising comes under Permanently Restricted Net Assets

Hence

Net Assets = $0 - (-$5000) = $0 + $5000 = $5000

Transaction # 5

Office Equipments comes under Temporarily Restricted Net Assets

Hence

Net Assets = Total Liabilites - Total Assets

= $ 5000 - [ - $5000 + $10000 ]

= $ 5000 - $5000 = $0

Hence ending balance is

Unrestricted Net Asstes = $0

Temporarily Restricted Net Asstes = $0

Permanently Restrcited Net Asstes = $5000
