Answer:

B. New applications for unemployment insurance

D. Stock prices

Explanation:

Unemployment benefits claims is one of the most powerful leading economic indicators, because it can predict, with a high degree of accuracy, the unemployment rate of the next economic periods.

Stock prices are also included in the index of leading economic indicators, more specifically, the Stock Prices of the S&P 500. Stock prices are a leading indicator because investors try to carefully invest in those companies they feel will have a good performance in both the short-term and the long-term.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount and character of the gain recorded is shown below:

1. Recognized gain would be

= Sales - the cost of the property - recovery cost

= $1,200,000 - $1,000,000 - $411,750

= $611,750

2. Now as per the section 1245 the potential recapture is $411,750

3. Now extra section 291 ordinary income in the case when it is a corporation

= $411,750 ×20%

= $82,350

4. And finally $82,350 would be considered as an ordinary income under section 291 while the remaining balance i.e.

= $611,750 - $82,350

= $529,400

This amount would be considered as a gain under section 1231

Pollution control equipment for a pulverized coal cyclone furnace is expected to cost $190,000 two years from now and another $1

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$212,882.75

Explanation:

Cost from 2 years now = $190,000

Cost from 9 years now = $120,000

Interest rate = 9% Quarterly

Present Worth = Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm] * Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^2*4] + 120,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^9*4]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1.0225)^8] + 120,000*[1/(1.0225)^36]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/1.19483] + 120,000*[1/2.22782]

Present Worth = 190,000*0.83693915 + 120,000*0.4488693

Present Worth = 159018.4385 + 53864.316

Present Worth = 212882.7545

Present Worth = $212,882.75

Thus, the amount to invest to cover these cost is $212,882.75
