Answer:

They both produced the same cash amount

Explanation:

The regular retirement would have its deducted after withdrawal from the plan while Roth retirement plan's tax would have been deducted prior to investing funds in the plan

The future value of the $2000 is computed thus:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

PV is the amount saved in the plan which is $2000

r is the growth rate of the funds in the plan which is 12%

n is the number of years the amount would be left in the plan

FV=$2000*(1+12%)^20=$ 19,292.59  

After tax amount=$ 19,292.59*(1-28%)=$ 13,890.66  

The future value of the $1,440 is computed thus:

FV=$1,440*(1+12%)^20=$ 13,890.66  

The Roth plan has not tax implication thereafter as tax was paid before savings.

What is market power?
Sedbober [7]
I would say the correct answer is B. t<span>he ability of a company to change prices and output like a monopolist. Market power is basically the power of a particular company to manipulate the price of the product and thus affect all other participants, as well as customers. Monopolists have the greatest market power; conversely, in an ideally balanced economy, nobody would have market power. All participants would have equal chances and nobody would dictate the terms to others.</span>

The number one reason risk pooling is valuable to the insurance industry is... A. It allows companies to charge the same premium
kolbaska11 [484]

The reason for risk pooling which is beneficial for the insurance industry is best described as it brings together many individuals' premiums so that there is money to cover a selected few losses.

Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>Who is a policyholder?</h3>

The policyholder is an individual who takes an insurance policy from an insurance company. He pays insurance premiums against their respective policies.

The insurance contract is an agreement between the individuals and insurance company to indemnify them at the happening of the specified event and individuals also agreed to pay the insurance premiums on time. The risk pooling allows the insurance company to get insured many people against a small amount of money called an insurance premium.

Therefore, risk pooling is valuable for the insurance company in respect of the insurance policies.

Taylor Music Center has 5 CD players on hand at the balance sheet date. Each costs $400. The current replacement cost is $380 pe
babymother [125]

The correct answer is $380 per unit.

The lower-of-cost-or market rule requires that you report the lower value of either the purchase price or current market price of items in inventory. In this case the current market price is lower, so it should be used when calculating the value of inventory.

Vasco Company purchased equipment on January 1, 2001 at a purchase price of $50,000. Vasco paid $2,500 in shipping costs on the
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The amount of depreciation expense is $3,871.86.

Explanation:

Sum-of-the-years digits method is determined by: (Remaining useful life/Sum of the years' digits) x Depreciable cost.

Depreciable cost = Cost - Salvage value

Depreciable cost = $50,000 + $2,500 - $5,000 = $47,500

Insurance premium is usually for a period of 1 year. This will be treated as prepayment instead of being added to the cost of the equipment. Shipping cost is added based on the recommendation of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment.

Depreciation expense = 6/21 x $47,500 = $13,571.43 for Year 2001

Depreciation expense = 5/21 x $47,500 = $11,309.52 for Year 2002

As at December 2002, the accumulated depreciation will be $13,571.43 + $11,309.52 = $24,880.95; so, net book value is $52,500 - $24,880.95 = $27,619.05.

Change in estimate: 8/55 x $27,619.05 - $1,000 = $3,871.86.

55 = 10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1
