Answer:

Invest at a minimum of 7.5% annual simple interest

Explanation:

Given the goal of purchasing a boat that will cost $30,000 in 20 years, David needs to earn an interest computed below on his investment in the savings account.

Interest required = 30,000 - 12,000

= 18,000

Therefore the minimum rate of interest that will achieve this goal,

= Principal * rate * time = target amount

= 12,000 * R * 20 years = 18,000

= R = 18,000/(12,000*20) = 0.075 = 7.5%.

In addition, David could also continue his saving from his teaching job. This will reduce the minimum investment return required to achieve the goal.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) The operation of internal service funds has no impact on other funds because it is run as a business and provides services that would have been purchased elsewhere by the other funds.

Explanation:

This is false because the operation of these funds represent a direct impact on other funds in the portfolio because they are related within the same business scheme and therefore transfer transactions (purchase and sale) of services corresponding to other portfolios or funds with guarantees and expectations of growth in the short term.

For each of the following products, indicate whether you believe demand will be relatively price elastic or relatively price ine
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Note that goods that are considered in general have a broad demand and goods with broad demand are inelastic as there are no substitutes for them. Goods that are specific by nature have narrow demand and have elastic demand because consumers can switch to others if the price is increased slightly.

Hence, Mayonnaise in general, Washing machines and beer have inelastic demand as there are no close substitutes. The remaining three, namely, specific brand of mayonnaise, Chevrolet automobiles and Tesla automobiles have elastic demand as there are substitutes and consumers/users will switch to others if the price is no more favorable.

Carrying Amount $120,000 Selling Price $80,000 Costs of Disposal $5,000 Expected Future Cash Flows $90,000 Present Value of expe
frez [133]

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Under IAS 36, an asset is said to be impaired where the carrying amount is more than the recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value in use which is the present value of the expected future cashflow.

Given that;

Carrying Amount = $120,000

Selling Price = $80,000

Costs of Disposal = $5,000

Hence fair value less cost to sell = $80,000 - $5,000 = $75,000  

Expected Future Cash Flows = $90,000

Present Value of expected future cash flows = $85,000 ( this is the value in use)

Recoverable amount = $85,000 (since the value in use is higher that the fair value less cost to sell)

This is lower than the carrying amount hence the asset is impaired.

Impairment = $120,000 - $85,000

= $35,000
