g Suppose a worker with an annual discount rate of 8 percent currently resides in Chicago and is deciding whether to remain ther

e or to move to Phoenix. There are three work periods left in the life cycle. If the worker remains in Chicago, he will earn $40,000 in each of the three periods. If the worker moves to Phoenix, he will earn $43,500 in each of the three periods. What is the highest cost of migration that a worker is willing to incur and still make the move

Answer:  $9,741.43‬

Explanation:

The highest cost of migration that the worker is willing to incur is the one that will equate the present value of the salary in Phoenix to the salary in Chicago.

Chicago = 40,000 + 40,000/(1 + 8%) + 40,000/ (1 + 8%)^2

= $111,330.59

Phoenix = 43,500 + 43,500/(1 + 8%) + 43,500/ (1 + 8%)^2

= $121,072.02

Hoghest cost of migration = 121,072.02 - 111,330.59

= $9,741.43‬

If the Cost of migration exceeds $9,741.43‬, the worker should stay in Chicago.

Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31, 2013, for equipment that was purchased at a co
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1) Straightline   $ 2000

2) Double-Declining-Balance  $ 4000

3) Units of Production  $ 2000

Explanation:

Cost of equipment $43,000

Residual value of equipment  $3,000

Useful life of equipment 5 years

Formula:

1) Straight Line Method Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Straight Line Method Depreciation = $43,000 -$3,000/5=$ 8000

The amount of depreciation using Straight Line Method Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2013, is

($ 8000/12)*3= $ 2000

The straight Line depreciation expense for 3 months is $ 2000

2) Straight Line Rate= 100%

Useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

Year     Book Value      Dep          Dep               Accu.       Book

                                      Rate         Expense      Dep.          Value

1           40,000             40              16000          16000         24000

Depreciation Expense for the whole year would be $ 16000.

Depreciation expense using double declining method for 3 months would be = ($ 16000/12 )*3= $ 4000

3) Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production

Depreciation per unit=  $43,000 -$3,000/20,000=40,000/20,000=2

Depreciation Expense = Depreciation per unit * No of Units Produced

Depreciation Expense =  2*1000= $ 2000

Depreciation Expense using  Units of Production method would be $ 2000 for 3 months. i.e on 31st Oct 2013

Suppose there is a large increase in the money supply in an economy that previously had low inflation. As a consequence, aggrega
hoa [83]

Answer:

It illustrates that the classical model of the price level best applies to economies with persistently high inflation.

Explanation:

When a very low inflation rate has been constant in an economy, and the money supply increases suddenly, in the short run that change will not immediately increase the inflation rate, but instead it will increase real output.

Classical economists argue that an increase in the money supply will immediately affect the inflation rate, but that theory applies mostly to economies that have a certain level of inflation. For example, for the past 12 years, European nations have been experiencing very low inflation rates, sometimes even negative rates. But during that same period, the European Central Bank has carried on a huge expansionary policy. It favored economic growth, although not as much as expected, but it didn't skyrocket inflation rate as the classical economy model predicted.

A machine costs $1,000 and has a 3-year life. the estimated salvage value at the end of three years is $100. the project is expe
AnnyKZ [126]
Cost of machine = $1,000

NPV of revenues = p( \frac{1- (1+RoR)^{-n} }{RoR} ) = 600( \frac{1- (1+0.1)^{-3} }{0.1} ) = $1,492.11

NPV of salvage value = FV ( \frac{1}{ (1+RoR)^{n} } )= 100( \frac{1}{ (1+0.1)^{3} } ) = $75.13

Total NPV = -1000+1492.11+75.13 = $567.24 ≈ $567

If the midlands pencil corporation has issued several different debt securities, an investor would expect the lowest income stre
Dafna1 [17]

If the midlands pencil corporation has issued several different debt securities, an investor would expect the lowest income stream from <u>convertible debentures.</u>

Convertible bonds have many positive attributes for investors, but the main drawback is that investors accept lower interest rates in exchange for these benefits.

Convertible debentures are fixed rate debentures that pay interest but can be converted into a specified number of ordinary shares or shares. Conversion of a bond into equity may occur at certain times during the life of the bond and is generally at the discretion of the bondholder.

Due to this logic, a convertible bond allows the issuer to indirectly sell its common stock at a price higher than its current price. From a buyer's perspective, convertible bonds are attractive because they offer the opportunity to capture the potentially high yields associated with equities, but also the security of bonds.
