Answer:

d) increases as the interest rate decreases.

Explanation:

Present value is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.

The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.

Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:

a) decreases as the time period decreases ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases

e) is directly related to the time period. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.

How is the present value related to the future value?

They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus, the option b). is inversely related to the future value is false

How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?

c) is directly related to the interest rate, or

d) increases as the interest rate decreases

The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).

Therefore, the correct answer is that the present of a lump sum future amount: d) increases as the interest rate decreases.

Answer:

The answer is $119

Explanation:

Solution:

The firm is working in a competitive market that is seen as perfect.

Thus,

The profit the condition for maximizing profit is given below:

P = MR =MC

Now,

The market price of the product is =$290

So,

P = $290

From the given table, we noticed that the profit maximizing output level is 9 units when P = MC

The profit (π) = total revenue - cost total

= ( P * Q) - ( ATC * Q)

= 290 * 9 - 171 * 9

= 2610 - 1539

= 1071

Therefore, the per-unit economic profit at the profit-maximizing output is

=$1071/9

=$119

While overuse of fossil fuels will cause pollution, world without them is also difficult. A balance is required.

Explanation:

Without fossil fuels vehicle transport for conveyance does not happen, food won't be transported, and thus life may come to standstill. It will take sometimes, centuries for the alternative sources to replace fossil fuels.
Overuse will cause pollution to happen and the fossil fuels getting depleted. We already found that if fossil fuels are not there, world will come to standstill. Therefore, cannot deplete them.
Balanced usage, usage with caution, and development of alternative sources are the ways to tackle the problem. These are the implications of the statements.

a2. $24,000

b2. December 31

Dr Depreciation Expense $8,000

Cr Accumulated Depreciation $8,000

($40,000/5 years)

a2. Computation of the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.

First step is to calculate the First year Book value

First year Book value=$40,000/5 years

First year Book value=$8,000

Second step is to calculate the Second year Book value

Second year Book value=($40,000+$40,000)/5 years

Second year Book value=$80,000/5 years

Second year Book value=$16,000

Now let compute the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.

Book value at the end of the second year=$8,000+$16,000

Book value at the end of the second year=$24,000

Therefore the Book value at the end of the second year will be $24,000

b1. Preparation of the adjusting entry on December 31
