Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

(a) The equilibrium can be restored if Exxon gas station reduces the prices. This change will achieve equilibrium.

(b) If the shell gas station reduces the prices, then the gap between the price charged by Exxon gas station and shell gas station become larger. So, this change will not be able to achieve equilibrium.

(c) If Exxon gas station increases the prices, this will also results in larger gap between price charged by Exxon gas station and shell gas station. So, this change will not be able to achieve equilibrium.

(d) If both stations reduce their prices by 50 cents per gallon, the gap remains the same. So, this change will not be able to achieve equilibrium.

The price of gold is currently $1,400 per ounce. The forward price for delivery in one year is$1,500. An arbitrageur can borrow
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

Explanation:

Current price of gold=$1,400 per ounce

Forward price=$1,500

The arbitrageur can either pay the forward price or borrow $1400 and pay the interest of 4% in a year. Consider option 1 paying the forward price of 1500

Option 1

Since there are no additional costs, the total cost for buying the gold=forward price=$1,500

Option 2

If the arbitrageur borrows the 1400 to pay for the gold now, then pay the interest in 1 year;

The total cost=Amount borrowed+interest accrued in 1 year

Total cost=1400+(4%×1400)

1400+((4/100)×1400)

1400+56=$1456

Since there are no additional costs, option 2=$1456

If we compare option 1 to option 2, we notice that option 2 is slightly cheaper than option 1 by $44

(Option 1-Option 2)=(1500-1456)=$44

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

Wild company purchased an asset. Wild used the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) to depreciate the asset for tax
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

All other things being equal, in the early years of the asset's life, the amount of income shown <u>on the tax return will be higher than  the amount of income shown on the income state.</u>

Here's why    

       

Explanation:

In the United States, the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is a depreciation system used for tax purposes.

It allows the capitalized cost of an asset to be recovered over a specified period via annual deductions. The MACRS system puts fixed assets into classes that have set depreciation periods.

This depreciation system allows an asset to be depreciated faster in the first years of an asset's life and slows depreciation later on. This is beneficial to businesses from a tax perspective.

This is logical, the less the value of an assets, the less the property tax applicable to it and so the company increases it's bottom line in tax savings whiles maximizing the useful life of the asset.

Cheers!
