Answer:

A. $3

B. $257.142

C. $2.25

Explanation:

A. In 1925, the CPI was 18 and the price of a movie ticket was $0.30.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{0.3}{18}\ \times\ 180

= $3

B. In 1930, the CPI was 14 and a cook earned $20 a week.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{20}{14}\ \times\ 180

= $257.142

C.  In 1940, the CPI was 16 and a gallon of gas cost $0.20.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= \frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI

= \frac{0.2}{16}\ \times\ 180

= $2.25

Will the earnings sensitivity change in the long run? What kind of assets or liabilities could explain the positive repricing ga
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Yes, earning sensitivity will change in the long run

Explanation:

Earnings Sensitivity Analysis helps in determining the impact of an independent variable over a particular dependent variable based on various assumptions. This comparison on its own, measures changes in the long run.

This technique helps managers in determining the change in net interest income in correspondence to wide range of interest rates.

The repricing gap in the long term window will measure of the difference between the dollar value of assets that will reprice and the dollar value of liabilities that will reprice within a specific time period.

A possible implication is potential to receive a new interest rate.

The assets that could explain the positive reprising gap is Accounts payable and investments.

Two examples of Liabilities are: Short term loans and accounts payable.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$57,600

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense under the Double-declining balance method is shown below:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= 1 ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 5 years

= 20%

Now the rate is double So, 40%

In year 1, the original cost is $240,000, so the depreciation is $96,000 after applying the 40% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $144,000 × 40% = $57,600

The $144,000 is come from

= $240,000 - $96,000

= $144,000

One of your customers has just made a purchase in the amount of $12,000. You have agreed to payments of $290 per month and will
34kurt

Answer:

It will take 51 months.

Explanation:

As we know the constant payment of $290 monthly is the annuity payment to pay $12,000 with interest rate of 0.84% per  month. The Number of Months can be calculated by following formula.

Loan amount = PV = $12,000

Rate of interest = r = 0.84 %

Monthly Payment = P = $290

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

$12,000 = $290 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n / 0.84% ]

$12000 x 0.84% / $290 = 1 - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

0.347586 = 1 - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

0.347586 - 1 = - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

-0.652414 = - ( 1 + 0.84% )^-n

1 / 0.652414 = 1.0084^n

1.532769 = 1.0084^n

Log 1.532769 = n x log 1.0084

n = Log 1.532769 / log 1.0084

n = 51
