Answer:

<u>Balance of payments surplus</u>

Explanation:

Balance of payments refers to a record of a country's trade position during a period.

Three components of Balance of payments are. current account, capital account and the financial account.

In the scenarios wherein a nation's exports exceed the imports, it reveals a surplus. Conversely, if imports exceed exports, it reveals a deficit.

Borrowings by a nation to fund it's deficit is regarded as an inflow in the balance of payments account.

Thus, in the given case,

Balance of payment position for the FY 2015-16 = $20 - $18 + $40 = +$42

Which indicates balance of payments surplus position.

A financial planning service offers a college savings program. The plan calls for you to make six annual payments of $14,000 eac
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Ans. the rate of return of this invesment is 3.5278% annual.

Explanation:

Hi, what we need to do here is to find the future value of all six payments, beginning when the child turns 12, which will end when he turns 17. One year later (when the child turns 18) he will receive $25,000 per year, for the next 4 years. This is the equation that we need to use (and solve for "r").

\frac{A_{1}((1+r)^{6}-1)  }{r} =\frac{A_{2}((1+r)^{4}-1)  }{r(1+r)^{4} }

Where:

A1=$14,000

A2=$25,000

So, everything should look like this

\frac{14,000((1+r)^{6}-1)  }{r} =\frac{25,000((1+r)^{4}-1)  }{r(1+r)^{4} }

As you can see, this would take forever to solve, so what we have to do is to use MS Excel, we have to use the "Goal Seek" function. Please check the MS Excel spread sheet attached to this answer.

Please use this function with the following parameters.

Set Cell: G7

To Value: 0

By changing cell: G2

Ans. 3.5278%

Best of luck.

Imagine that you have invented a new snack food product and would like to market it to college students. What are some of the ad
valentina_108 [34]

Explanation:

An advertising message to be attractive and generate the desired effect, it must reach its potential audience through communication aligned with the interests and desires of the potential audience.

Firstly, as the potential audience is students, it would be ideal to use an advertising communication channel such as social media, where there is a large presence of young people.

It is ideal that advertising involves elements of student culture to generate identification, desire and proximity to the potential audience, so a good choice would be to develop a campaign that involves the product with sports for example, the snack company could be more involved with the culture students, such as sponsoring a college football team and advertising their brand at games, or distributing free snacks at college events.

Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services both disposed of an old asset. When completing the journal entry, Wagner Enterprises inclu
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services

Disposal of old asset:

It could be that Stone Services exchanged its old asset with a new one with a company.  In that situation, the debit goes to New Equipment, while the credit is to the old Equipment.  Another reason could be that Stone Services sold the old asset on account.  In this situation, the debit goes to the Accounts Receivable account, while the old asset is credited accordingly.

Explanation:

When a company disposes of an old asset, it credits the asset account and transfers the amount to the Sale of Asset account.  The same is done for the accumulated depreciation, in reverse.  When cash is realized from the disposal, the Sale of Asset account is credited, while Cash account is debited.  Then, the difference in the Sale of Asset account will be a gain or a loss, depending on the net book value and the cash realized from the sale.

A manufacturer has modeled its yearly production function P (the monetary value of its entire production in millions of dollars)
Vinvika [58]

Answer: P(120,30)= $1,218,365.5

So when the manufacturer invests $30 million in capital and 120,000 hours in labour yearly, the monetary value of production is about $1.2 million.

Explanation:

The Cobb-Douglas production function expresses the technological relationship between two inputs (labour and capital).

Since  

P(L,K)=1.47L^0.65 K^0.35 (equation 1)

we simply substitute L=120,000 and K=30,000,000 into equation 1.  

Thus, P(120,30)= 1.47(120,000)^0.65 (30,000,000)^0.35

<em>(Recall that L is in thousand of hours and K is in millions of dollars).</em>

P(120, 30)= 1.47(2002.02)(413.99)

Thus, P(120,30)= 1218365.475

P(120,30)= $1,218,365.5

P(120, 30)= $1.2 million

So when the manufacturer invests $30 million in capital and 120,000 hours in labour yearly, the monetary value of production is about $1.2 million
