Answer:

The effects of inflation in the U.S. trading partner, will pass through the U.S. economy in the form of exports: since the U.S. imports goods from ABC islands, the higher prices in the ABC islands will make imports from there more expensive, contributing to a small raise in inflation in the overall U.S. economy.

However, exports from ABC Islands are likely to be a small component of U.S. Aggregate demand, so the effect in overall inflation is likely to be small.

Despite this, the fed can step in and raise interest rates by contracting the money supply. This is contractionary monetary policy, and it is used when inflation is rising. It lowers the value of the U.S. dollar in international markets, but it increases output price level.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

A) price stability and maximum employment.

Explanation:

When Congress enacted the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, they stated the FED's mandates:

promote maximum employment
promote stable price

The FED's main objective is to conduct monetary policy in order to stabilize the economy and promote economic growth.

By stabilizing the economy the FED will lower inflation rate, therefore stabilizing prices. When the FED promotes economic growth, the unemployment rate should decrease, hopefully reaching a full employment.

Columbus Manufacturing's stock currently sells for $ 23.57 a share. The stock just paid a dividend of $2 a share (i.e.,D0=2). Th

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Required rate of return is 14.99%

Explanation:

Given:

Price of stock (Po)= $23.57

Dividend (Do) = $2

Growth rate (g)= 6% or 0.06

Using dividend growth model to calculate required rate of return:

$r=\frac{d_{0}\left ( 1+g \right )}{P_{o}}+g$

Substituting values in above formula, we get:

r = $r=\frac{2\left ( 1.06 \right )}{23.57}+0.06$

= 0.1499 or 14.99%

Therefore, required return of company's stock is 14.99%

Depreciation Methods Vorst Corporation's schedule of depreciable assets at December 31, 2016, was as follows: Asset Cost Accumul

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

c. $14,400

Explanation:

Double declining depreciation method can be described as an accelerated depreciation technique which charges depreciation expense faster than the straight-line depreciation method, because double declining method obtains its depreciation rate by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.

From the Vorst Corporation's schedule of appreciable assets at December 31, 2016, the following data are obtained for Asset A:

Cost = $100,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $64,000

Acquisition Date = 2015

Residual value = $20,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Therefore, we have:

Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 0.20, or 20%

Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 40%

Beginning book value in 2017 = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $100,000 - $64,000 = $36,000

Depreciation expense for 2017 = Beginning book value in 2017 * Double declining depreciation rate = $36,000 * 40% = $14,400.

Therefore, Vorst should record $14,400 as depreciation expenses in 2017 for Asset A.

Important End Note:

Under the double declining depreciation method, residual is adjusted for in the last year of the estimated useful life of the asset.

Based on the information for Asset A, its last useful year is 2019 and that is why the residual value is not adjusted for in 2017 above.
