Answer:

5.39%

Explanation:

Given that,

Bond that pays interest annually yields a rate of return = 7.50 percent

Inflation rate for the same period = 2 percent

Real rate = [(1 + nominal rate) ÷ (1 + inflation rate)] - 1

Real rate = [(1 + 0.0750) ÷ (1 + 0.02)] - 1

               = (1.075 ÷ 1.02) - 1

               = 1.0539 - 1

               = 0.0539 or 5.39%

Therefore, the real rate of return on this bond is 5.39%.

"Christie and Jergens formed a partnership with capital contributions of $300,000 and $400,000, respectively. Their partnership
Katen [24]

Answer:

The Christie and Jergens's respective shares are $92,500 and $42,500.

Explanation:

For computing the Christie and Jergens's respective shares, first, we have to compute the remaining income which is to be shared between these two partners. The computation is shown below:

= Net income - salary - interest on total capital

= $135,000 - $60,000 - 10% × ($300,000 + $400,000)

= $135,000 - $60,000 - $70,000

= $5,000

So, the remaining income would be divided equally between the partners

Now

Christie shares = Salary + interest on capital + remaining income

                         = $60,000 + ($300,000 × $10%) + $2,500

                         = $60,000 + $30,000 + $2,500

                         = $92,500

And, the Jergens shares  =  interest on capital + remaining income

                                          = ($400,000 × $10%) + $2,500

                                          = $40,000 + $2,500

                                          = $42,500
