Answer:

The United States has been made better off by trade. International trade benefits all countries, because the winners are more numerous than the losers.

While it is true that some manufacturing jobs have been lost due to globalization, it is also true that many more jobs have been gained, specially in the service sector, some of them being well better paid than previous manufacturing jobs.

The reason why all countries gain from international trade is that international trade allows each country to specialize in what they do best, something that is known as comparative advantage.

XYZ stock price and dividend history are as follows: YearBeginning-of-Year PriceDividend Paid at Year-End2015 $130 $5 2016 144 5
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Arithmetic mean = 3.67%

Geometric mean = 3.02%

Explanation:

The following sorted data are given in the question:

Year           Beginning-of-Year Price         Dividend Paid at Year-End

2015                            $130                                            $5

2016                              144                                               5

2017                              120                                               5

2018                              125                                               5

Therefore, we have:

Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)

Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)

Where;

n = years 1, 2, 3….

r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….

Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)

Using equation (3), we have:

2016 Return = ((144 - 130) + 5) /130 = 0.146153846153846

2017 Return = ((120 - 144) + 5) /159 = -0.119496855345912

2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333

Using equation (1), we have:

Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1461538461538460 - 0.1194968553459120 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0367, or 3.67%.

Using equation (2), we have:

Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.146153846153846) * (1 - 0.119496855345912) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0302, or 3.02%

A corporation issued $580000, 10%, 5-year bonds on January 1, 2020 for $626400, which reflects an effective-interest rate of 7%.
ioda

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

For Jan.1,2020 value = $626,400

Interest rate = 7%

So, we can calculate the amount of bond interest expense by using following formula:

Interest Expense = Carrying Value × Market Interest Rate

By putting the value of following

Interest expense = $626,400 × 7%

= $626,400 × 0.07

= $43,838

Hence, the amount of bond interest expense to be recognized on December 31, 2020, is $43,838.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Zero- there is a $10 Million exemption equivalent ( d )

Explanation:

Annual exemption to be ignored = $15000

$1 million  to an irrevocable trust

taxable gifts = $6 million

A) The amount of gift tax Nathan must remit in 2017 ignoring annual exemption

The gift tax must remit in 2017 is zero because there is a $10 million exemption because of the annual exception ( even if the annual exception is ignored ) and  the lifetime benefits on taxable gifts that Nathan has is approximately $11.4 million, hence he wont be remitting any amount on gift tax in 2017
