Answer:
C) There was no price control on gasoline at the time.
Explanation:
During the 1970s the US government established a price ceiling on gasoline, but as all price ceilings set below the equilibrium price, it results in both a deadweight loss and a supply shortage.
Since the price is "too cheap", then the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied. Rising costs in gasoline production made things worst, since suppliers were constantly reducing their supply of gasoline, while consumer demand was constantly increasing.
The correct term is likely an EPO (exclusive provider organization)
Answer: The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred.
Explanation:
A loss contingent is an expense that is based on a future event for instance, if the company loses a law suit and would have to pay settlement costs.
Loss contingents are only permitted to be accrued if the probability that they will happen is likely and even at that, the amount of loss needs to be capable of being reasonably estimated. This way, a proper estimate can be made that will represent the situation adequately.
Answer:
The amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = current level of consumption = $52,672
P = amount to invest each year = ?
r = annual nominal interest rate = 5.03%, or 0.0503
n = number of years = 13
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
$52,672 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0503))^13) / 0.0503)
$52,672 = P * 9.37662983027493
P = $52,672 / 9.37662983027493
P = $5,617.37
Therefore, the amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.
