Answer:

C. decreased by $40 billion

Explanation:

For computing the lending ability, first we have to determine the money multiplier which is shown below:

We know that

Money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve ratio

                            = 1 ÷ 20%

                            = 5

So, the total cash would be

= $10 billion × $5

= $50 million

Now the lending ability would be

=$50 billion × (1 - 20%)

= $50 billion × 0.80

= $40 billion

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

If a demand curve is linear and downward sloping, different points on the line can show different values of slope. The value of slope will be equal to the ratio of change in price to change in quantity demanded. The value of slope will be the same throughout the line.

The price elasticity is the ratio of change in quantity to change in price. The price elasticity can be different for different points on the demand curve.

The points on the lower parts are more inelastic while the points on the upper portion are more elastic. The midpoint represents unit price elasticity.

Since the upper portion is more price elastic, an increase in price will cause a more than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded. This will cause the total revenue to decrease.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

The accounting procedure involved in the above is that one picks the lower between the actual interest incurred and the interest computed on the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditures for PPE.

The actual interest incurred on specific construction debt and other borrowings

= $50,000 + $20,000

= $70,000

Since the interest computed on the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditure for the building is $40,000 , the lower between the actual interest incurred and interest on weighted average amount of accumulated expenditure is $40,000, hence will be the capitalized amount.

On January 1, 2019, Amazon issues $100,000 in bonds having a stated rate of 10%. The bonds mature in 2 years (Dec. 31, 2020) and
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

cash                   96,535 debit

discount on BP    3,465 debit

          Bonds Payable          100,000 credit

Explanation:

We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:

Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000

time 4  (2 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.06  (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)

5000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-4} }{0.06} = PV\\  

PV $17,325.5281  

 

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity (face value)   $100,000.00  

time   4.00  

rate  0.06

\frac{100000}{(1 + 0.06)^{4} } = PV  

PV   79,209.37  

 

PV c $17,325.5281  

PV m  $79,209.3663  

Total $96,534.8944  

As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:

100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465

the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity

we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
