In 1924, the famous novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post entitled ?How to live on $36,000

a year?. In it he considered how he and his wife had managed to spend all of that very high income without saving any of it. The CPI in 1924 was 17 and the CPI in 2008 was 2015. What income would you have needed in 2008 to have had the same purchasing power that Fitzgerald?s $36,000 had in 1924.

Answer:

$4,267,059

Explanation:

to determine the equivalent amount of money between 1924 and 2008, we must divide the 2008 CPI by the 1924 CPI, and then multiply by $36,000:

= (2015 / 17) x $36,000 = 118.53 x $36,000 = $4,267,059

The consumer price index measures the weighted price of basket of goods . It is useful for calculating inflation and comparing how the purchasing value of the US dollar has decreased in time. Basically what this shows us, is that $1 in 1924 would purchase the same amount of goods as $118.53 in 2008.

<h3>How does general interest rate risk work?</h3>

Interest-rate risk (IRR) is the exposure of a financial institution to unfavorable changes in interest rates. Accepting this risk is common practice in the banking industry and can be a key driver of profitability and shareholder value.

Explanation:

Given that the bond's face value is $400 000

Bond selling price: $370,000

yield until maturity equals 12%

Bond has a fair value of $365,000.

Value shifted = $2,000

A thief steals an ATM card and must randomly guess the correct three​-digit pin code from a 9​-key keypad. Repetition of digits
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the pin code on the first try.

Explanation:

Simply, if the ATM card has a 3-digit code that can be repeated, and the board has 9 numbers (for example, from 1 to 9), we must start from the smallest number that could be formed with these numbers to the highest number that these numbers could also compose, which in the case would be 111 and 999. Then, 889 different numbers could be formed (it is the distance between 111 and 999), with which the possibility of hitting the key to the first attempt would be 1 in 889 times, or 1/889.

To take the probability to a percentage, we must know that 889 / 8.89 gives 100. Therefore, dividing 1 / 8.89 we will know the percentage of probabilities of hitting the key on the first attempt: 1 / 8.89 = 0.11.

This shows us that the thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the key on the first try.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: C) eliminating the effects of income statement transactions that did not result in a corresponding increase or decrease in cash

Explanation:

The income statement comprises of entries that are not cash based in nature but help in the computation of taxes amongst other things such as depreciation and amortization.

When calculating net cash provided from operating activities therefore the income calculated should be adjusted for any expenses or revenue that are not cash based in nature and so will not result in a corresponding increase or decrease in cash.

For instance, adding back depreciation and amortization to the net cash balance as both do not actually reduce the cash balance of the company.
