Answer:

= $147.12

Explanation:

First, we determine the amount received by Mother in 199 9= $100

Based on this,

The Consumer Price Index in 1999 = 166.6

The Consumer Price Index in 2017 = 245.1

We then calculate the amount it would cost in 2017 to buy similar goods bought by mother in 1999

= Value in 2017 = Amount received in 1999 x (2017 CPI / 1999 CPI)

= $100 x (245.1/166.6)

=  $100 x 1.471

= $147.12

This means that the baby shower gift received at $100 in 1999 will cost  $147.12 to buy in 2017.

Rank the following three stocks by their level of total risk, highest to lowest. Rail Haul has an average return of 12 percent a
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Idol Staff, Rail Haul, Poker-R-Us

Explanation:

The standard deviation of a stock is a measure of the volatility of the stock or simply put, a measure of risk of the stock.

The idea of using standard deviation as a measure of stock risk is in the relation of the stock to its returns.

The farther the standard deviation is from the revenue, the more risky or at risk the stock is.

From the above question, Idol staff has the highest level of risk of 20% (i.e 35-15). Next up is Rail Haul with a risk level of 13% (i.e 25-12). the stock with tthe lowest risk level is Poker-R-Us with 11% (i.e 20-9).

Cheers.

In 2007, Wagner Associates appropriated $65,000 of retained earnings to satisfy the restrictive covenant of a loan agreement. Wh
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The financial statements effects of the appropriation are as follows:

a) Retained Earnings will reduce by $65,000 in the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet.

b) Cash balance will also reduce by $65,000 in the Balance Sheet.

Explanation:

Normally, partnerships can distribute or appropriate their profits according to their partnership agreements.  However, there may be restrictive loan covenants that can specify how much profits partnerships can distribute among the partners.  The purpose of such covenants is to ensure that the ability of the partnership to repay loans are not compromised through profit appropriations.

Financial institutions, therefore, to secure the loans advanced to businesses may include restrictive covenants.  Some restrictive covenants may specify the minimum cash balance to maintain.  Restrictive covenants, generally, remain measures to overcome unwanted business outcomes.  It is a form of insurance against loan repayments.
