Which of the following statements is correct?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. Different economic models employ different sets of assumptions.

Explanation:

To approach the study of economic reality it is necessary, in some way, to simplify it; keep certain variables under control. Precisely for this, it is that economic models are built.

Economic models are built on principles of departure, called "assumptions." Such assumptions fulfill the same role as the postulates in geometry. That is:

  1. They are not subject to deduction from other more basic principles.
  2. They are "reasonably" true but not necessarily verifiable.
  3. They function as premises in the logical structure to deduce the conclusions and correlations found in the lowest levels of generality.

We can say then, that the theoretical explanations refer to invisible "relationships", whose existence is proposed by the theory, and whose implications are logically deduced, and then corroborated by observations. They consist of:

  1. Assumptions (eg subjects want to maximize their earnings).
  2. Relevant variables (eg price and quantity).
  3. Binding hypothesis (eg quantity demanded based on price).
  4. Conclusions or predictions of observable facts (eg prices will rise).

Lance lopes went to his bank to find out how long it will take for $1,500 to amount to $2,700 at 15% simple interest. can you so
denis23 [38]
To find simple interest: 

Time = Interest/(Principle)(Rate)

Interest is the amount of interest paid
Principle is the amount you lent or borrow
Rate is the percentage of principle charged as interest each year
Time is the years of the loan

P=Principle amount of $1,500
I=Interest amount of $1,200 (Take the new amount of $2,700 and subtract from the principle that is $1,500 which gives you $1,200)
r= as a decimal .15 (15%/100)
t=unknown

T=I/PR

T=1,200/(1,500)(.15)
T=1,200/225
T=5.3 years 

It would take Lance roughly 5.3 years

Ruby Corporation, a calendar year, accrual method C corporation, has two cash method, calendar year shareholders who are unrelat
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

$200000 + $200000 +$50000(to COLE's bonus)

= $450000

Ruby corporation uses accrual method.

A corporation that is using accrual method, cannot claim a deduction for an accrual with respect to a related party until the recipient reports that amount as income.

Here, Cole owns more than 50% (55%) so its a related party and it will report bonus on february 1,2017

Therefore, Ruby can not deduct bonus payable to oliver in 2016

Hence total deductible in 2017 would be $450000.
