Answer: $1,021,382

Explanation:

The Consumer Price index (CPI) is an economic measure that enables us calculate inflation. It checks for a price changes in a group or basket of goods and then averages these price changes to find out how much they may have changed overtime.

A higher CPI means prices have increased.

CPI can then be used to calculate the potential values of goods in different years using another year as a base. This means that prices of goods in one year can be written in terms of prices in another year.

This can be done by Dividing the CPI in the current year by the CPI in the base year (year being expressed in terms of) and then multiplying the result by the price of the good in question.

In this case the good is the salary of $75,000.

The 2007 equivalent of a 1931 salary will therefore be,

= 75,000 * ( 207/15.2)

= $1,021,381.57

= $1,021,382

artcher [175]

Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is determined by calculating present value of future dividend payment.

In this question the Dividend payment is $2, growth rate is 4% and required rate of return is 11%.

Formula for Valuation:

Value of Share = Dividend (1 + g) / (Rate of return - Growth rate)

Value of Share = $2.00 (1 + 4%) / (11% - 4%)

Value of Share = $2.00 (1.04) / 7%

Value of Share = $29.71

Helen [10]

Answer: 4. The expenses incurred during a period are matched with the revenues that those expenses generated.

Explanation:

The accrual basis of accounting works by matching accounting transactions to the period that they occur in. For instance, if revenue is sold in year 1 but the cash for it is only received in year 2, the revenue will be recorded for year 1.

The matching principle falls under the accrual basis and matches the expenses in a period to the revenue that the expenses generated in that same period. This is why the expenses in the income statement are only those that occurred in the current period and expenses for future periods are put in the balance sheet.
