Answer:
forward rates are determined by investors' expectations of future interest rates.
Explanation:
The expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates states that forward rates are determined by investors' expectations of future interest rates. It suggests that the predicted holding period rate of return of a bond of "x" number of time is equal to the short-term interest rate irrespective of its maturity.
The Expectations theory gives us the opportunity to predict the future outcome of short-term interest rates based on current long-term interest rates.
Answer:
C. $17.25 million
Explanation:
In case of an acquisition, the assets are valued at their fair value and we will also include all unrecorded liabilities. Goodwill will be the excess payment over the net assets of the company. Excess fair value of land means that assets would increase by that amount to arrive at their fair value. Also, We have to include unrecorded liabilities in the total liabilities
Net Assets = Fair value of assets - Total liabilities
Or, Net Assets = (Book value of assets + Excess Fair value of land) - (Book value of liabilities + unrecorded liabilities)
Or, Net Assets = ($261 million + $3 million) - ($172.50 million + $6.75 million) = $84.75 million
Amount paid to acquire = $102 million
Goodwill = $102 million - $84.75 million = $17.25 million
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Beginning work in process = $4,000
Ending work in process in finishing department = $6,000
Cost transferred = $47,000
Direct material = $15,000
Direct labor = $46,000
Overhead = $22,000
Cost incurred in finishing department:
= Beginning work in process + Cost transferred + Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead
= $4,000 + $47,000 + $15,000 + $46,000 + $22,000
= $134,000
Cost of goods transferred to the Finished Goods Inventory account:
= Cost incurred in finishing - Ending work in process
= $134,000 - $6,000
= $128,000
Answer:
$23,160
Explanation:
The Total interest = 15,040 + 4040 + 1040 + 3040
Total interest = $23,160
Hence, the Interest deductable this year = $23,160
Answer:
a. Increase in Net Exports, Increase in AD, real GDP will stay same
b. Excess Demand
c. Appropriate Contractionary Fiscal Policy : decrease tax & or increase government expenditure
d. Actions smooth business cycle by brining actual real GDP towards full employment
Explanation:
Aggregate Demand is the total value of goods & services all the sectors of an economy are planning to buy during a given period of time
Aggregate Demand [AD] = Consumption [C] + Investment [I] + Government Expenditure [G] + Net Exports [NX = Exports (X) - Imports (M)]
Aggregate Demand > Aggregate Supply at full employment level is Excess Demand. Aggregate Demand < Aggregate Supply at full employment level is Deficit Demand
Decrease in Investment leads to fall in Aggregate Demand. It creates Deficit Demand & decreases real GDP. It can be corrected through demand expansionary fiscal policy of decreasing taxes & increasing govt. expenditure.
Increase in exports leads to increase in net exports & in turn increase in aggregate demand. This causes Excess demand problem & real GDP will remain same (economy already at full equilibrium, GDP cant be increased more). Appropriate Fiscal Policy [Contractionary Fiscal Policy] includes decreasing taxes & or increasing govt. purchase.
These actions will smooth out business cycle by bringing actual real GDP back to full employment level.
