A rich donor gives a hospital $100,000 one year from today. Each year after that, the hospital will receive a payment 5% larger

wariber [46]

Answer:

D) $779,843.27

Explanation:

The present value of this donation = Donation in Year 1/(1+ discount rate)^9 + Donation in Year 2/(1+ discount rate)^8 + ….. + Donation in Year 2/(1+ discount rate)^1

= $100,000/(1+9%) + $100,000*(1+5%)/(1+9%)^2 +$100,000*(1+5%)^2/(1+9%)^3…. +$100,000*(1+5%)^9/(1+9%)^10 = $779,843.27

Or we can easily input in excel and generate NPV as file attached; in which the formula is NPV(discount rate, cash inflow year 1 : cash inflow year 10) = (9%, 100000,100000*(1+5%)….,100000*(1+5%)^9) = $779,843.27

Determine if the people in the example have benefited (i.e., are winners) or have been harmed (i.e., are losers) by unexpected i

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Winners

3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

Losers

Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.

Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.

Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.

The US federal government which had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Explanation:

When unexpected inflation occurs, the usual plan to by Monetary Institutions of a country is raising the interest rates.

By doing that, they want to stop it or slowly decelerate it.

So that it becomes more expensive to take a loan, the idea is to reduce consumption.

In Economics, it's a bad scenario after all. Few winners. Many losers.

So, let's examine them

Winners

3rd National, a bank that loaned many people money for home purchases.

At first, The 3rd National is going to be winning since the value of the debt will rise, depending on the type of contract and an increase in the interest rate will demand corrections on the monthly payments. But on the other hand, the number of default clients and overdue installments will raise for sure.

Losers

Karen, a retired school teacher that relies upon her fixed pension to pay for her expenses.

Inflation reduces the real buying value of her checks. And her pension can't grow otherwise this will feed the inflation too.

Herb, who keeps his savings in an old coffee can.

Since his money is not invested then He's not having any earning that might give him some compensation. So his money is even more devalued.

Joy, who has borrowed $40,000 to pay her college education.

Depending on the contract Joy might be sleepless. Either her monthly payments will become more expensive or She may experience difficulties because of the weekly growing prices.

The US federal government had almost $15 trillion in debt in 2011.

Certainly, the president and his secretary will have to address the fact that due to inflation and the chosen medicine make the nation's debt up to the sky. They must renegotiate the payment deadlines.

Mia has an outside basis of $50,000 in the Brimstone Partnership, including her share of liabilities of $25,000. In a liquidatin

finlep [7]

Answer:

$0 gain or loss

Cash basis $10,000

Inventory $15,000

Explanation:

Calculation for Mia’s recognized gain or loss on the liquidation and basis in the property received

First step is for us to calculate for the outside adjusted basis

Using this formula

Outside adjusted basis=Outside basis - Liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Outside adjusted basis=$50,000 - $25,000

Outside adjusted basis= $25,000

Second step is to calculate for theGain or loss

Using this formula

Gain/Loss=Outside adjusted basis- Cash received - Inside basis

Let plug in the formula

Gain/Loss =$25,000 -$10,000 -$20,000

Gain/Loss = ($5,000)

Based on the above calculation for Mia Gain/loss in which Mia had ($5,000) this means there is $0 gain or loss

Third step is to calculate for the Inventory

Using this formula

Inventory = Cash + Gain/Loss

Let plug in the formula

Inventory =$10,000 + $5,000

Inventory = $15,000

In summary Mai will have $0 gain or loss, the Cash basis amount will be $10,000 while the Inventory amount will be $15,000

Betsy should employ content analysis type of archival research approach in this scenario.

<h3>Content Analysis</h3>

The existence of particular words, topics, or concepts in a given set of qualitative data can be found by using the research tool of content analysis. The presence, significance, and connections of such specific words, themes, or concepts can be quantified and examined using content analysis. To check for bias or partiality, for instance, academics can assess the language used in a news piece. The meanings included in the texts, as well as their authors, readers, and even the culture and time period in which they were written, can all be inferred by researchers. Almost any instance of communicative language can be used as a source of data, including interviews, open-ended inquiries, field study notes, dialogues, and open-ended questions. For the sake of analysis, a single study may examine numerous textual genres.
