Answer:

a. $955.20

b. $2.7579 x 10¹⁷

Explanation:

a. Simple interest

The value in 2014 of the investment at a 10% simple interest rate is:

S= \$24 + \$24*0.10*(2014-1626)\\S=\$955.20

b. Compound interest

The value in 2014 of the investment at a 10% compound interest rate is:

C= \$24(1.10)^{(2014-1626)}\\C=\$2.7579*10^{17}

If the demand for a good increases by more than the supply of the good increases, then the goods equilibrium price will ________
Ket [755]

Answer:

<em>If the demand for a good increases by more than the supply of the good increases, then the goods equilibrium price will </em><em><u>increase</u></em><em> and its equilibrium quantity will </em><em><u>also increase</u></em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

Please refer to the attachment.

D zero is the initial demand curve.

D one is the new increased demand curve.

S zero is the initial supply curve.

S one is the new increased supply curve.

P zero is the initial equilibrium price, where D zero = S zero

Q zero is the initial equilibrium quantity, where D zero = S zero

A is the initial equilibrium point, where D zero = S zero.

<em>P one is the new equilibrium price and it is greater than P zero. Here, D One is equal to S One.</em>

<em>Q one is the new equilibrium quantity and it is greater than Q zero. Here, D One is equal to S One.</em>

<em>B is the new equilibrium point, where S one is equal to D one.</em>

<u><em>Note</em></u><em>- Here, increase in demand is more than the increase in supply as seen from the diagram.</em>

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Total Dividend = $20000

Explanation:

Total Income for 3 Years = 3*Average income

                                            = 3* 6000 = $18000

Opening Retained Earnings $10,000

Closing Retained Earnings $13,000

Net Utilisation for Dividend = 13000 - 10000 = $2000

Total Dividend =Total Income+Net utilisation from RE

                        =18000 + 2000 = $20000

Consider the following premerger information about Firm X and Firm Y:
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Firm X and Firm Y

Post-merger Balance Sheet for Firm X

Net assets         $886,000

Goodwill                90,000

Total assets      $976,000

Common stock $742,000

Long-term debt  234,000

Total liabilities and

equity              $976,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                    Firm X      Firm Y

Total earnings         $96,000    $22,500

Shares outstanding   53,000       18,000

Per-share values:

Market                            $53             $18

Book                               $14               $8

Net assets              $742,000   $144,000

=                       (53,000*$14)     (18,000*$8)

Net assets = Common Stock for each company

Merger premium on Firm Y         $5

Goodwill on acquisition = $90,000 (18,000 * $5)

Investment in Firm Y = $234,000 (18,000 * ($8 + $5)

Long-term debt issued = $234,000

Net assets

Firm X net assets before acquisition = $742,000

Firm Y net assets before acquisition =    144,000

Net value of combined assets =           $886,000

In one hour, the United States can produce 25 tons of steel or 250 automobiles. In one hour, Japan can produce 30 tons of steel
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

For USA

Opportunity cost of 1 ton of steel = 250 / 25 = 10 automobiles

opportunity cost of 1 auto mobile = 25 / 250 = 0.1 ton of steel

For Japan

Opportunity cost of 1 ton of steel = 275 / 30 = 9.17 automobiles

opportunity cost of 1 auto mobile = 30 / 275 = 0.109 ton of steel

Japan will produce steel and US will produce automobile
