Answer:
$24,000 Gain
Explanation:
Given that,
Bonds issued = 3,000
Par value = $1,000
Value of issued bonds = $3,120,000
Goll's gain in 2018 on this early extinguishment of debt:
= Issue price of bonds - Premium amortized - Callable value
= $3,120,000 - [($3,120,000 - $3,000,000) × 11/20] - (3,000 × $1,000 × 1.01)
= $3,120,000 - $66,000 - $3,030,000
= $24,000 Gain
Answer:
Autonomous consumption is <u>$1,000</u> and the marginal propensity to consume is <u>0.9</u>.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by <u>$90</u>.
Explanation:
Given C = 1000 + 0.9Y
Autonomous consumption refers to consumption expenditure of consumers that does not depend on income. Therefore, autonomous consumption is therefore the consumption expenditure made by the consumers when they do not have income or when income is zero (i.e. when Y = 0).
Substituting for Y = 0 into the consumption function, we can obtain autonomous consumption is follows:
Autonomous consumption = 1000 + (0.9 * 0) = 1,000
The marginal propensity to consume refers to the proportion of the increase in disposable income that is spent on the consumption of goods and services by a consumer. From the consumption function, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
Since marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, a consumer whose income increases by $100 will therefore increase consumption by $90 (i.e. $100 * 0.9 = $90).
USDA actually has several stickers/labels/stamps that could have different meanings. However, the sticker most likely indicates that the chicken has passed for inspection while the grading stamp means that the poultry processor also requested to have the quality of the chicken evaluated and graded.
The USDA has separate programs for the inspection and for the grading of meet. The former is mandatory and guarantees the wholesomeness of the meat. This means that the animal from which the meat was taken from is not diseased and that the meat is clean and fit for human consumption. Inspection programs are paid for by public funds.
However, USDA also has a grading program, which is paid for by the meat processors. The grading program checks and classifies the meat according to its quality (e.g. flavor, juiciness, and tenderness). Poultry with a Grade A poultry for example is one which does not have "defects" such as feathers, discoloration and bruising.
