vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Anderson Co. 3,100 shares at $18 per share

Munter Ltd. 10,200 shares at $57 per share

King Co. 5,600 preferred stock at $42 per stock

a. Prepare the entry for the security sale on January 15, 2021.

Dr Cash 58,880
Cr Investment in Anderson Co. stock AFS 52,200
Cr Realized gain on stock AFS 6,680

b. Prepare the journal entry to record the security purchase on April 17, 2021.

Dr Investment in Castle's stock AFS 38,160
Cr Cash 38,160

c. Compute the unrealized gains or losses.

unrealized gain = $40,800 (gain in Munter) - $11,200 (loss in King) - $13,960 (loss in Castle) = $15,640

d. Prepare the adjusting entry for Vaughn on December 31, 2021.

Dr Investment in Munter's stock 40,800
Cr Investment in King's stock 11,200
Cr Investment in Castle's stock 13,960
Cr Unrealized gain - other comprehensive income 15,640

Answer:

Price elasticity

Explanation:

Price elasticity -

It refers to the extent to which the demand or desire for something alters with the fluctuation in the price , is referred to as price elasticity .

As if the price of some commodity goes up , people tends to not buy the thing any more and tries to finds it cheaper alternative .

And , as the price reduces , people tries to buy the specific goods and service .

Hence , from the given scenario of the question ,

The correct answer is price elasticity .

Rent controls force landlords to price apartments below the equilibrium price level. An immediate effect is a shortage (excess d

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Option (a) and (c) are correct.

Explanation:

We know that rent control is an example of price ceiling. If the price of apartments set below the equilibrium price level then there is increase in the demand for apartments. So, the demand for apartments exceeds quantity supplied at the prevailing market price.

(a) Therefore, the quality of rental housing falls because of the lower price of the apartment. As this will become less profitable for the landlords, so they are least interested in the maintenance of the apartments.

(b) This will also lead to develop black market. The landlords are trying to fool the higher authorities and rent their apartments at a higher cost because this will be done without any type of legal documentation of the apartments or results from the manipulation of the rules.

Let $S$ be the set of complex numbers of the form $a + bi,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. We say that $z \in S$ is a unit if t

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Number of units possible in S are 4.

Explanation:

Given S is a set of complex number of the form $a+bi$ where a and b are integers.

$z\in S$ is a unit if $w\in z$ exists such that $zw=1$ .

To find:

Number of units possible = ?

Solution:

Given that:

$zw = 1$

Taking modulus both sides:

$|zw| = |1|$

Using the property that modulus of product of two complex numbers is equal to their individual modulus multiplied.

i.e.

$|z_1z_2|=|z_1|.|z_2|$

So,

$|zw| = |1|\\\Rightarrow |zw| =|z|.|w| =1\\\Rightarrow |z|=\dfrac{1}{|w|}$ ......... (1)

Let $z=a+bi$

Then modulus of z is $|z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

Given that a and b are integers, so the equation (1) can be true only when $|z| = |w| =1$ (Reciprocal of 1 is 1). Modulus can be equal only when one of the following is satisfied:

(a = 1, b = 0) , (a = -1, b = 0), (a = 0, b = 1) OR (a = 0, b = -1)

So, the possible complex numbers can be:

$1.\ 1 + 0i = 1\\2.\ -1 + 0i = -1\\3.\ 0+ 1i = i\\4.\ 0 -1i = -i$

Hence, number of units possible in S are 4.

McLeod Inc. is considering an investment that has an expected return of 8% and a standard deviation of 10%. What is the investme

Rudik [331]

Answer:

the investment's coefficient of variation is 1.25.

Explanation:

The coefficient of variation relates the units of return to the units of risk. It expresses the unit of risk per 1% of return as follows :

Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation ÷ Return

Therefore,

Coefficient of Variation = 10 ÷ 8

= 1.25
