Answer:

interest rate r = 6.78 %

Explanation:

given data

investment = $12,000

interest rate = 3.5 percent = 0.035

time = 5 year

interest rate =  7.9 percent = 0.079

time = next 15 year

to find out

What was your annual rate of return over the entire 20 years

solution

we get here interest rate as

interest rate r = [(1+r)^{t1} * (1+r)^{t2}]^{\frac{1}{t1+t2}} - 1     ...................1

here t1 is time period for first 5 year and t2 is time i.e next 15 year and r1 and r2 is rate

now put here value we get

interest rate r = [(1+)^{t1} * (1+r)^{t2}]^{\frac{1}{t1+t2}} - 1

interest rate r = [(1+0.035)^{5} * (1+0.079)^{15}]^{\frac{1}{5+15}} - 1

interest rate r = 1.0678 - 1

interest rate r = 0.0678

interest rate r = 6.78 %

Goodwill is: Group of answer choices Amortized over the greater of its estimated life or forty years. Only recorded by the selle
Tems11 [23]

Explanation:

Goodwill in accounting is an intangible asset that arises when a buyer acquires an existing business. Goodwill represents assets that are not separately identifiable. Goodwill does not include identifiable assets that are capable of being separated or divided from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or together with a related contract, identifiable asset, or liability regardless of whether the entity intends to do so. Goodwill also does not include contractual or other legal rights regardless of whether those are transferable or separable from the entity or other rights and obligations. Goodwill is also only acquired through an acquisition; it cannot be self-created. Examples of identifiable assets that are goodwill include a company’s brand name, customer relationships, artistic intangible assets, and any patents or proprietary technology. The goodwill amounts to the excess of the "purchase consideration" (the money paid to purchase the asset or business) over the net value of the assets minus liabilities. It is classified as an intangible asset on the balance sheet, since it can neither be seen nor touched. Under US GAAP and IFRS, goodwill is never amortized, because it is considered to have an indefinite useful life. Instead, management is responsible for valuing goodwill every year and to determine if an impairment is required. If the fair market value goes below historical cost (what goodwill was purchased for), an impairment must be recorded to bring it down to its fair market value. However, an increase in the fair market value would not be accounted for in the financial statements. Private companies in the United States, however, may elect to amortize goodwill over a period of ten years or less under an accounting alternative from the Private Company Council of the FASB.
