Answer:

<em>It will take me </em>= <em>30.99 years</em> to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month

Explanation:

SOLUTION:

Using the Formula: A = P(1+r/n){nt}

Where:

A= $60.00;

P = $3,200.00;

r = 12.9%;

n = 12

t =?

Substituting the values into the Formula =

$60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12){12t}

= $60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.129/12){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.01075 ){12t}

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ){12t}

= $60.00/$3,200.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ){12t}/$3200.00

= 0.01875 = (1.01075)12t

= Using the law of logarithm

= logA^{N} = Nlog A

=12tlog(1.01075) = log0.01875

= 12log(1.01075)/(1.01075) = log0.01875/log(1.01075)

=  12t = log(0.01875)/log1.01075

= 12t = 1.7270/0.04644

Divide 12 by both sides

=12t/12 = 371.88774/12

t= 30.9898

<em>∴ 30.99 years</em>

<em>It will take me </em>= 30.99 years to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month

Excluding discouraged workers from the official unemployment rate may cause the official rate to the true extent of underemploym
Alenkasestr [34]

Excluding discouraged workers from the official unemployment rate may cause the official rate to Understate the true extent of underemployment.

What happens when they are reclassified as discouraged workers?

  • The measured unemployment rate will decrease if unemployed people give up.
  • When this occurs, the measured unemployment rate will momentarily increase. They will once more be listed as unemployed, which is why.
  • Because there are no discouraged employees in the labor market actively looking for a job, the labor force participation rate would fall if employed people were reclassified as discouraged workers.

(1) official unemployment rate= unemployed/(employed + unemployed)

= 6197000 / 155604000 + 6197000 * 100

= 3.83%

(2) U-4 unemployment rate= (unemployed +discouraged) /(employed +unemployed+ discouraged)

=6197000+ 434000 / 155604000+ 6197000 + 434000 * 100

= 4.09%

Excluding discouraged workers from the official unemployment rate may cause the official rate to Understate the true extent of underemployment.

Assume that a firm separately determined inventory under FIFO and LIFO and then compared the results. a. In each dropdown that f
marysya [2.9K]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a)

1.  FIFO inventory        >     LIFO inventory

(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first or sold first so the remaining inventory are old inventory which is less costlier.)

2. FIFO cost of goods sold     <    LIFO cost of goods sold

(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first which are expensive so the cost of production is greater than FIFO.)

3. FIFO net income        >    LIFO net income

(Because cost of production is less under FIFO and the value of closing inventory is high, therefore the net income is also high.)

4.  FIFO income taxes   >   LIFO income taxes

(Since, income is high in FIFO, therefore the tax under FIFO will be higher.)

b) Management would like prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices because Income shown in the company's Tax return will be higher if we use FIFO rather than using LIFO.
