Answer:
The answer is Option C
Explanation:
Any event that would either decrease the demand for loanable funds or increase the supply of loanable funds will decrease the equilibrium interest rates. Supply of loanable funds is affect by the amount of national savings. National savings in turn, is the sum of private savings, public saving and net capital inflow.
In option C, capital inflows are increasing. This means that there would be an excess supply of money in the economy which can be converted into loanable funds. This would, therefore, push the supply curve to the right thereby reducing the real interest rate equilibrium.
Answer:
D) $150,000
Explanation:
Insurance proceeds that are not reinvested in replacing damaged property are taxed. Apparently Prime corporation didn't reinvest into replacing the property, so this transaction should be taxed as a property sale. Prime received $400,000 for the building with a $350,000 basis which results in a net gain = $50,000.
The other $100,000 were given as replacement income and therefore should be taxed as such.
So the total taxable amount = $50,000 + $100,000 = $150,000
Answer:
<u>sell the stock which will drive it's expected return even lower.</u>
Explanation:
An investor wants to be compensated for the risk undertaken in the form of return. When investors believe that a stock is not providing sufficient return, such stocks would be sold by the investor.
When a stock is not performing well i.e it's current market price goes down, all the investors holding that stock will sell it , leading to it's market price going further down.
Since the market price goes further down, the expected return on such a stock would further decline.
Answer:
$18,290
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is given below;
The profit after tax is
= Retained earnings + dividend
= $411 + $285
= $696
The profit before tax = $696 ÷ (1 - Tax rate)
= $696 ÷ (1 - 0.35)
= $1,071
Now
Sales = $24,646
Let us assume the Cost of goods sold be X
admin expenses = $4,370
Depreciation = $812
Interest = $103
Profit before tax = $1.071
Cost of goods sold (X) = $24,646 - $4,370 - $812 - $103 - $1,071
= $18,290
