Answer:
$1,150
Explanation:
Implicit rental rate refers to the cost that a company incurred by spending money as opposed to what that money could earn if it were invested in something else. Therefore since in a year the computer was worth $1000 less and Wanda also lost out on the 5% that the savings account would have generated which would be $150. Then her total cost is that of $1,150
Answer:
Low betas.
Explanation:
Low beta stocks are considered to be less risky, and usually they also offer low returns. The risk of losing capital in this type of investment is very low. This type of investment is ideal for people that are risk adverse and prefer to maintain their capital even at low returns.
On the other hand the higher the beta the higher the risk, and it also comes with higher returns on investment.
Because the needs for household goods and food are always constant, the companies that supply them tend to have stock that are low beta.
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
Answer:
b. $3,115,234
Explanation:
Opening Balance as on 01.01.2013 $21,000,000
Less: Payment of First Instalment on 01.01.2013 <u>$3,002,038</u>
Net Balance as on 01.01.2013 $17,997,962
Add: Interest at 9% up to 30.06.2013 $1,619,816
Less: Payment of 2nd instalment on 30.06.2013 <u>$3,002,038</u>
Balance as on 01.07.2013 $16,615,740
Interest at 9% up to 31.12.2013 $1,495,417
Total interest revenue to be reported on the lease during the calendar year 2013 = $1,619,816 + $1,495,417 = $3,115,234
Answer:
Yes, agree, business transactions are economic transactions. Two reasons why:
- Profit motive: economic transactions have a profit motive: they are carried out and agreed upon between the two parties, because the parties feel that they will be better off after the transaction is completed. Business transactions are based on the profit motive.
- Things of value: goods and/or services, are exchanged between the parties. In business transactions, either a good (for example, an asset), or a service (for example, employees), is always exchanged.
