Let $S$ be the set of complex numbers of the form $a + bi,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. We say that $z \in S$ is a unit if t

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Number of units possible in S are 4.

Explanation:

Given <em>S</em> is a set of complex number of the form $a+bi$ where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are integers.

$z\in S$ is a unit if $w\in z$ exists such that $zw=1$ .

To find:

Number of units possible = ?

Solution:

Given that:

$zw = 1$

Taking modulus both sides:

$|zw| = |1|$

Using the property that modulus of product of two complex numbers is equal to their individual modulus multiplied.

i.e.

$|z_1z_2|=|z_1|.|z_2|$

So,

$|zw| = |1|\\\Rightarrow |zw| =|z|.|w| =1\\\Rightarrow |z|=\dfrac{1}{|w|}$ ......... (1)

Let $z=a+bi$

Then modulus of z is $|z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

Given that a and b are <em>integers</em>, so the equation (1) can be true only when $|z| = |w| =1$ (Reciprocal of 1 is 1). Modulus can be equal only when one of the following is satisfied:

(a = 1, b = 0) , (a = -1, b = 0), (a = 0, b = 1) OR (a = 0, b = -1)

So, the possible complex numbers can be:

$1.\ 1 + 0i = 1\\2.\ -1 + 0i = -1\\3.\ 0+ 1i = i\\4.\ 0 -1i = -i$

Hence, number of units possible in S are 4.

g The Ricardian equivalence states that if the government cuts taxes without changing current or future expenditure then: a) hou

Aleks [24]

Answer:

b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future

Explanation:

The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.

On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.

Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.

Uncle John's Pipe Company has been experiencing several years of financial difficulty and, thus, has considered maintaining its

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The value of its common stock is $29.41

Explanation:

As the Dividend payment is for indefinite period of time, This is the perpetuity payment. The value of share can be determined by calculating the present value of perpetuity payment.

The formula for the present value of perpetuity is as follow

Present value of perpetuity = Cash flow / Required Rate of return

In this case the present value of perpetuity is the value of stock cash flows is The dividend payment.

Value of Stock = Dividend / Required Rate of return

Value of Stock = $2.5 / 8.5%

Value of Stock = $29.41

PharmY, Inc., is a U.S. GAAP reporter that is in the pharmaceutical industry. In the current year, PharmY incurred expenditures

Whitepunk [10]

Answer with Explanation:

Tangible assets fall under the scope of International Accounting Standard IAS-36 Property, Plant and Equipment which says that assets that qualify following conditions, must be capitalized:

Assets that have life expectancy of more than a year.
Benefits of the Assets are controlled by the entity that will flow towards the company.

Now here, the life expectancy of laboratory equipment is unknown and also that we don't know if the asset can be resold in the market or not. This means, if the asset has life expectancy is no more than a year and that the future benefits will flow towards the company then it must be capitalized otherwise it must be expensed out as per the guidelines of International Accounting Standard IAS-38 Intangible Assets, which says that the research cost prior to the development expenditure must be expensed out.

The other two costs are revenue expenditure and must be expensed out under the name research and development cost as per the guidelines of IAS-38.
