Answer:

A. (a, the area between the diagonal line and the lorenz curve divided by the total area below the diagonal line)

B. (a, a perfectly unequal income distribution will have a Gini ration of 1.)

C. (a, more equal)

Explanation:

A. Gini ratio can be defined as the statistical determination of the wealth and income distribution among a country's populace.

It can also be called Gini coefficient or Gini index, and it is a measure of the inequality in income and wealth distribution.

The Gini ration is calculated by finding the difference between the Lorenz curve and the uniform distribution line, then divided by the total area under the uniform distribution line. A Gini ration of <0.2 is the perfect income equality.

B. Gini ratio cannot exceed 1 because a perfectly unequal income distribution will have a Gini ratio of 1. This means that the line of equality does not move irrespective of whether or not the Lorenz curve changes.

C. If the Gini ratio declines from 0.42 to 0.35, then that means that income has become more equal. Note that a Gini ratio of <0.2 signifies a perfect income distribution, slightly greater than 0.2 to ).35 signifies that income distribution is close to equality.

Cheers.

You have 40 years left until retirement and want to retire with $5 million. Your salary is paid annually, and you will receive $

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

16.67%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what percentage of your salary must you save each year

First step is to calculate the Annual savings

Annual savings=$5 million*[(10%-3%)/(1+0.1)^40-(1+0.03)^40]

Annual savings=$5 million*0.07/(1.1^40-1.03^40)

Annual savings=$8333.88

Now let determine the percentage of the salary you must save each year

Proportion of savings=$8333.88/$50,000

Proportion of savings=0.1667*100

Proportion of savings=16.67%

Therefore the percentage of your salary that you must save each year is 16.67%

The following transactions were made by Ruby Inc. last year:

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

OPtion (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Issuance of common stock = $100,000

Dividends paid to the company's stockholders = $2,000

Depreciation expense = $6,000

Repayment of principal on bonds = $40,000

Proceeds from the sale of the company's used equipment = $39,000

Purchase of land = $230,000

Cash flow from financing activities:

= Issuance of common stock - Dividends paid to the common stockholders - Repayment of principal on the company's own bonds

= $100,000 - $2,000 - $40,000

= $58,000

Therefore, the net cash inflow from financing activities is $58,000.

Blanchard Company manufactures a single product that sells for $180 per unit and whose total variable costs are $135 per unit. T

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

1.$35,000

2.$6,300,000

Explanation:

The computation of Unit sales to earn the target income and Sales amount at required profit is given below:-

a. Contribution per unit = Unit sale price - Unit variable cost

= $180 - $135

= $45

Unit sales at required profit = (Sales cost + Required cost) ÷ Contribution per unit

= ($562,500 + $1,012,500) ÷ $45

= $1,575,000 ÷ $45

= $35,000

b. Sales amount at required profit = Unit sales at required profit × Unit sale price

= $35,000 × $180

= $6,300,000

Bond Valuation and Changes in Maturity and Required Returns Suppose Hillard Manufacturing sold an issue of bonds with a 10-year

g100num [7]

Answer:

It will be sold at $1,186.71

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of the cuopon payment and the maturity at the new market rate of 7%

The coupon payment will be calcualte as the PV of ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C $50 (1,000 x 10%/2 as there are 2 payment per year)

time 16 (8 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.035 (7% rate / 2 payment per year)

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.035)^{-16} }{0.035} = PV\\$

PV $604.7058

The maturity will be calculate as the PV of a lump sum

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 8 years

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{8} } = PV$

PV 582.01

The market price will be the sum of both:

PV cuopon $604.7058

PV maturity $582.0091

Total $1,186.7149
