Answer: Experiencing declining production capacity because net investment is negative
Explanation:
Investment in a country includes capital Expenditure such as buildings, roads, inventory and etcetera which contribute to the production capacity of the Nation.
Net Investment is calculated by subtracting Depreciation from the Gross Private Domestic Investment. When Net Investment is negative, it means that the Production capacity of the nation is weakened and declining because the Investment available is not able to produce as much.
In the country described, the Net Investment is,
= Gross Private Domestic Investment - Consumption of Fixed Capital (Depreciation)
= 46 - 52
= -$6 billion
The Net Investment for this Economy is negative showing a declining production capacity.
Answer:
D) S corporation.
Explanation:
S corporations do not pay any income taxes. Instead, shareholders pay individual taxes over their dividends.
In this case, the three shareholders are not thinking about getting any dividends for the first few years, they want to reinvest all profits, therefore, their company would not pay any taxes, and neither would they individually.
<span>Controls are needed in a case-controlled study because the outcome would be invalid if there were no base controls to start with. It would be like trying to determine which cancer is more aggressive but if you don't have a control in place or to go by, your research would not have any validity.</span>
Answer:
(A) 18,400 units
(B) 12,940 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production for
(A) Material = Units transferred out + Ending work in process
= 9,300 units + 9,100 units
= 18,400 units
(B) Conversion = Units transferred out + (Ending work in process × conversion percentage)
= 9,300 units + 9,100 units × 40%
= 9,300 units + 3,640 units
= 12,940 units
Answer:
Bond's Coupon rate is 3.3%
Explanation:
Bond price is the sum of present value of coupon payment and face value of the bond. If the price is available the coupon payment can be calculated by following formula
Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
$948.63 = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 7.11%/2 )^-17x2 ) / 7.11%/2 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 7.11%/2 )^17x2 ]
$948.63 = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.03555 )^-34 ) / 0.03555 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.03555 )^34 ]
$948.63 = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1.03555 )^-34 ) / 0.03555 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.03555 )^34 ]
$948.63 = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1.03555 )^-34 ) / 0.03555 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.03555 )^34 ]
$948.63 = C x 19.55 + $304.92
$948.63 - $304.92 = C x 19.55
643.71 = C x 19.55
C = 643.71 / 19.55
C = 32.93
Coupon rate = 32.93 / $1,000 = 3.3%
