Answer:
The Current account is for goods and services.
The Financial account is for exchange of currencies and financial assets across countries.
Miguel, a U.S. resident, buys an HDTV set for $2,500 and sends it to Mexico as a gift to his parents. <u>DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. </u>
Miguel buys the good in the U.S. and then sends it so this falls under the current account alone.
Arielle, a French tourist, stays at a hotel in San Francisco and pays $400 for it with her debit card issued by a French bank. <u>DEBIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. </u>
The Financial account should be debited to show that currency is coming into the U.S. from outside the country and current account should be credited for services rendered.
A U.S. computer manufacturer purchases hard drives from a Korean company, paying the funds from its bank account in Korea. <u>DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. </u>
Current account should be debited to reflect that goods are coming into the country but the financial account should be credited to show that currency is leaving the ownership of an American entity so it is passing out of American hands.

Answer: C. AA-rated short-term bonds
Explanation:
It was stated that the client has a low risk tolerance. Therefore, to reduce the credit risk, investment grade bonds are appropriate (BBB or higher). To reduce the interest rate risk, short-term maturities will be preferable to long-term maturities. Both of these factors will result in a safer bond investment.
Answer:
Related to the transferred equipment, the items that is true regarding the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013 is:
C. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 debit to "Gain on Sale of Equipment."
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Original cost of the equipment to the parent = $180,000
Transfer of equipment to subsidiary = (118,000)
Accumulated depreciation to December 31, (36,000)
Unaccounted balance = 26,000
b) The unaccounted balance of $26,000 needs to be credited to the parent's Equipment account to remove it from the account. This will have a corresponding debit entry in another account. The only correct entry among the options is C.
Answer:
Explanation:
For this case the total payment is $320000, and she pays $40000 so the remain amount to pay would be:
$320000-40000=$ 280000
For this case we assume that the annual interest rate is APR=5.7% =0.057 on fraction.
The total number of years are 20. For this case n represent the number of payments per year and since we have monthly payments then n =12.
In order to find the PMT we can use the following formula:
![PMT= \frac{P(\frac{APR}{n})}{[1-(1+\frac{APR}{n})^{-nt}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20PMT%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BP%28%5Cfrac%7BAPR%7D%7Bn%7D%29%7D%7B%5B1-%281%2B%5Cfrac%7BAPR%7D%7Bn%7D%29%5E%7B-nt%7D%5D%7D)
On the last expression the APR needs to be on fraction and P represent the principal amount, for this case P = $280000. So if we replace we got:
![PMT= \frac{280000(\frac{0.057}{12})}{[1-(1+\frac{0.057}{12})^{-12*20}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20PMT%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B280000%28%5Cfrac%7B0.057%7D%7B12%7D%29%7D%7B%5B1-%281%2B%5Cfrac%7B0.057%7D%7B12%7D%29%5E%7B-12%2A20%7D%5D%7D)
And we can verify this using the following excel function: "=PMT(0.057/12,12*20,-280000)"
