Answer:

The investments most vulnerable to political risk are those that depend directly on the balance of payments of a country, such as, for example, Bonds of the Republic, debt guaranteed with the nation.

After direct financing, there is the indirect financing of state companies such as electricity or oil companies.

The oil and natural gas pipelines are immobile and long-lived, they have high vulnerability because if there is a situation with the Government, there is immediately a scenario of uncertainty, so on the scale of 1 to 10 it would qualify as 8.

kupik [55]

Answer:

increase assets by $13,000, increase liabilities by $13,000 and have no effect on equity.

Explanation:

Given that

The total cost of purchase of delivery truck = $15,000

Cash paid = $2,000

The accounting equation equals to

Total assets = Total liabilities + owners equity

The remaining amount left would be equal to

= $15,000 - $2,000

= $13,000

So it would increase the assets for $13,000 as the delivery truck is purchased plus there is also an increase in liabilities for $13,000 as it signed a note payable and there is no effect on equity

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

His tax liability for 2019 (due April 2020) is $23,359.50

Explanation:

Since Robert s a single filer, he falls under the fourth tax bracket: income between $84,201 to $160,725. His marginal tax rate is 24%, and his total taxes due are as following:

<u>tax rate</u>         <u>earnings</u>                          <u>taxes due</u>

10%            $0 – $9,875                        $987,50

12%         $9,875 – $40,125                  $3,630

22%        $40,126 – $85,525                $9,988

24%        $85,526 – $122,000              $8,754

                    total                              $23,359.50      

*Option C is the closest one, but it used the 2018 tax brackets, not the 2019.

The partnership of Anderson, Berry, Hammond, and Winwood is being liquidated. It currently holds cash of $20,000 but no other as
Rashid [163]

Answer:

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have,

Capital balances

Anderson     40%       $20,000

Berry             30%      $12,000

Hammond     20%      $17,000 (Deficit)

Winwood       10%       $25,000 (Deficit)

a. Total deficit in this case will be = Share of Hammond + Winwood = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Berry's share = \frac{30}{30+40} \times 42,000 = 18,000

Since Berry's current balance = $12,000

Contribution required = $18,000 - $12,000 = $6,000

b-1. Total deficit of Winwood = $25,000

Hammond share = \frac{20}{20+30+40} \times 25,000 = 5,556

Hammond's current balance = - $17,000

Thus, contribution from Hammond = $5,556 + $17,000 = $22,556

b-2. Total deficit balance = $17,000 + $25,000 = $42,000

Total sufficient balance = $20,000 + $12,000 = $32,000

Net deficit balance = $42,000 - $32,000 = $10,000

Anderson share in Deficit of Winwood = 25,000 \times \frac{40}{40 + 30 +20} = 11,111

Thus, net capital of Anderson = $20,000 - $11,111 = $8,889

Berry's share in deficit of Winwood = 25,000 \times \frac{30}{40+30+20} = 8,333

Thus, net capital from Berry = $12,000 - $8,333 = $3,667

c. Total deficit from Hammond = $17,000

Anderson share = 17,000 \times \frac{40}{40+30+10} = 8,500

Anderson's current balance = $20,000

Amount extra contributed by Anderson = $20,000 - $8,500 = $11,500

Thus, Anderson will receive $11,500 on liquidation.

Final Answer

a. Contribution from Berry = $6,000

b-1. Contribution from Hammond = $22,556

b-2. Disbursement shall be:

Anderson = $8,889

Berry = $3,667

c. Amount to be received by Anderson on Liquidation = $11,500
