Answer:

gain = $26.24 per bond

Explanation:

trading bonds 100M, means $100,000 in bonds

the trader purchased the bonds at a discount, at 100 - 1.5 = 98.5%

the coupon rate is 9%, if the bonds are sold at 8.9%, then they will be sold at a premium.

to try to determine an approximate selling price = 9%/8.9% = 1.01123

profit per bond = sales price - purchase price =  ($1,000 x 1.01123) - ($1,000 x 0.985) = $1,011.24 - $985 = $26.24 per bond

total profit = $26.24 x 100 = $2,624

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": fall. The fall in taxes stimulates aggregate demand.

Explanation:

Recessions are the economic phases characterized by a decrease in economic growth. Unemployment rises, real income decreases, and the overall economy of a country dwindles. However, the government intervenes to turn around the situation by establishing fiscal policies.

<em>In such scenarios the tax rate decreases for individuals and institutions to have more money available so their purchasing power increases which, eventually, increases the aggregate demand (total demand for finished products).</em>

On January 1, 2020, Piper Corp. purchased 40% of the voting common stock for of Betz, Inc. for $2,000,000 and appropriately acco
Neko [114]

Answer:

$57,600

Explanation:

The computation of the increase in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is shown below:-

Purchase of voting Common stock of Betz inc. by Piper Corp.= ( Betz's reported earnings - Betz Paid Dividends ) × (Percentage of the voting Common stock of Betz inc.)

= ($720,000 - $240,000) × 40%

= $480,000 × 40%

= $192,000

Now, the rise in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is

Purchase of voting Common stock of Betz inc. by Piper Corp. × enacted tax rate

= $192,000 × 30%

= $57,600

In January 2012, one US dollar was worth 50 Indian rupees. Suppose that over the next year the value of the Indian rupee decreas
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

59% - a)increase - b)decrease

Explanation:

First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.

Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).

Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).

With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.

Archie Co. purchased a framing machine for $45,000 on January 1, 2021. The machine is expected to have a four-year life, with a
k0ka [10]

Answer: $10,000 and $25,000

Explanation:

DEPRECIATION FOR 2022.

Straight line method of depreciation means it depreciates by the same amount every year. You can calculate by

(Cost - Residual Value) / useful life.

=($45,000 - $5,000) / 4

= $10,000.

Each year the framing machine reduces by $10,000 meaning in 2022 the depreciation will be $10,000.

BOOK VALUE AT DECEMBER 31, 2022

We've established that every year the value drops by $10,000.

On December 31, 2021, it dropped by $10,000.

On December 31, 2022, it dropped by another $10,000.

Adding that together gives you 10,000 + 10,000 = $20,000.

$20,000 is the total depreciation at the end of 2022.

Subtract that figure from the cost,

=$45,000-$20,000

=$25,000.

BOOK VALUE ON DECEMBER 31, 2022 is $25,000.
