<u>Explanation:</u>

People invest in bonds for various benefits in them and one of them is that the income is predictable. Also the interest paid is semi annually in federal bonds. The principal amount along with the interest amount can be earned when the bond matures. The risk of this investment is very low and there is no major price fluctuations.

Here the interest on investment is a steady income for the investors. Some of the bonds offers tax exemption benefits which can be state and local taxes for the citizens. Also these are issued by the government and there are no fraudulent activities involved.

Novak’s Market recorded the following events involving a recent purchase of inventory: Received goods for $112000, terms 2/11, n
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct

Explanation:

The payment is made during the discount period of 11 days so the 2% discount rate would be applicable.

Goods purchased =   $112,000

Goods returned = $2,200

Discount =   (Goods purchased - goods returned) × 2%

               = ($112,000 - $2,200) × 2%

               = $2,196

Net purchase = Goods purchased - returned - Discount

                       = $112,000 - $2,200 - $2,196

                       = $107,604

Total inventory cost = Net purchase + Freight cost

                                 = $107,604 + $400

                                 = $108,004

Therefore, company’s inventory increased by $108,004.

How many days will it take for $1500 to earn $16 interest if it is deposited in a bank paying simple interest at the rate of 4%/
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

97 days

Explanation:

In simple interest method, the interest is calculated by the following formula

I= P x R x T

I= interest

P = principal amount

R =interest rate

T= Time

In this case

I=$16

P=$1500$

R= 4% or 0.04%

T= time

$16= $1500 x 0.04 x Time

$16 =60 x Time

Time = 16/60

time = 0.2666 year.

time in days =  0.26666 x 365 days

=97.333 days

=97 days
