Answer:
The answer is $86,167.57 (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the present value of a certain amount that is compounded semiannually, and after 10 years, yields a future value of $200,000. To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating present value as follows:
PV = FV ÷ 
where:
PV = present value = ???
FV = future value = $200,000
r = interest rate in decimal = 8.6% = 0.086
n = compounding period pr year = semiannually = 2
t = time of compounding in years = 10
Therefore,
PV = 200,000 ÷ 
PV = 200,000 ÷ 
= $86,167.57

Answer:
Inventory $200,000
Cash $50,000
Notes payable $150,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost of the inventory purchased = $200,000
Amount paid in cash = one-fourth
= one-fourth of $200,000
= $50,000
For the remaining balance signed a note i.e = $200,000 - $50,000
= $150,000
Now,
This transaction will be recorded as:
Inventory $200,000
Cash $50,000
Notes payable $150,000
Answer:
The total liabilities for the next year amount to 37163 $.
Explanation:
To calculate the liability we will use the simple equation given below.
Asset-equity=liability
Assets-RE=Liability
Current year Change* Next Year
Assets 180,506.00 29,506.00 151,000.00
Common Stock (11,365.00) 0 (11,365.00)
Retain Earning (92,472.00) (10,000.00) (102,472.00)
Liability- BaL figure 76,669.00 37,163.00
*Retain earning= Net profit- dividend
Hence balancing figure that is 37,163 dollars is liabilty for next year,
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
