Answer:

10%

Explanation:

The price level in 2018 is 150

The price level in 2019 is 165

P1= 150

P2= 165

Therefore, the rate of inflation between 2018 and 2019 can be calculated as follows

P2-P1/P1

= 165-150/150

= 15/150

= 0.1×100

= 10%

Hence the rate of inflation between 2018 and 2019 is 10%

Answer:

(A). People may expect earnings to fall in the future, perhaps because the firm will be faced with increased competition.

Explanation:

Price Earnings ratio of a company represents market price per share of a company's stock in relation to it's earnings per share.

Price Earnings ratio(PER) is given by the following formula:

PER = $\frac{Market\ Price\ Per\ Share}{Earnings\ Per\ Share}$

A lower P/E Ratio indicates that a company's market price of a share is lower relative to it's earnings. This means the company's stock is undervalued.

It can also mean that the company's earnings have increased which in turn has increased it's earnings per share.

Investors in general expect lower earnings in future for the stock of a company with low P/E Ratio.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Loss to be recognized is $25000

Explanation:

Liquidation refers to a process whereby a company's operation come to an end, which leads to distribution of assets and liabilities to the claimants and winding up the business.

A company may be forced to liquidate owing to consistent losses. In such cases, the claims of all the stakeholders cannot be satisfied and they receive pro-rata basis allocation which covers everybody's claim to an extent, if not fully.

In the given case,

Robert's receipt is Land. Liabilities attached to the land being $325,000 while the land has fair market value of $400,000.

Thus, after assuming the liability, Robert's actual realized amount is,

$400,000 - $325,000 = $75,000

Since, the land was received in consideration for discharge of Robert's own share in company amounting to $100,000.

Thus, Gain/Loss to be recognized by Robert = $75, 000 (receipts) - $100,000

= - $25,000

i.e Robert should recognize a loss of $25,000.
