Answer:

6.22%

Explanation:

Price of sandwich four years ago, Present value = $5.49

Price of sandwich, Future value = $6.99

It is given that the inflation has been assumed to be constant over these four years.

Inflation rate refers to the rate at which prices of the good increases from the previous level. In a simple language, if there is a rise in the price of the goods then this economy is experiencing a inflation.

Inflation rate:

=(\frac{Future\ value}{Present\ value}) ^{\frac{1}{n} } -1

=(\frac{6.99}{5.49}) ^{\frac{1}{4} } -1

= 1.0622487 - 1

= 0.0622487 or 6.22%

Therefore, the inflation rate is 6.22%

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

reported as income for all three years   is $7,000

Explanation:

given data

cost of the ending inventory = $181,000

market value  inventory =  $160,000

to find out

Shondee Corporation must add income

solution

we get here Income per year that is

Income per year = (Value under FIFO Method - Value Under Cost Method ) ÷ Number of year      ..............................1

put here value we get

Income per year = \frac{181000 - 160000}{3}

Income per year =   \frac{21000}{3}

Income per year =  $7000

so reported as income for all three years   is $7,000

Peggy offers to sell Shelby a purebred Scottish terrier puppy for $800. Shelby and Peggy do not discuss the dog's ancestry, but
ladessa [460]

Answer:

a. No, because Shelby made a mistake about the dog's value, not a mistake about a material fact.

Explanation:

Peggy made an offer to sell the dog for $800, they didn't discuss the dog's ancestry and Shelby wrongly assumed the dog was from champion lines and agreed to buy the dog for $800.

Based on further investigations, she discovered the dog was worth just $200.

She cannot rescind the contract because she wrongly assumed the dog's value not an error about à material fact. Peggy sold the dog at her own rates and Shelby bought the dog while wrongly assuming the value, so she cannot cancel the contract based on that.

Masters Corp. issues two bonds with 20-year maturities. Both bonds are callable at $1,050. The first bond is issued at a deep di
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.

b)

If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.

c)

Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant

Sidana [21]

Answer:

(During write-off) March 11

Dr    Bad debt expense                     $9,100

Cr    Accounts receivable                  $9,100    

(at the time of collection) March 29

 Dr Accounts receivable                      $9,100    

 Cr Bad debts expense                        $9,100

 

  Dr Cash                                              $9,100

  Cr  Accounts receivable                   $9,100

Explanation:

On March 11, Dexter made an entry to write-off bad debts in the amount of $9,100. Dexter Co., charged it directly to Accounts receivable because the company uses direct write-off method. During the collection we have 2 steps to consider; First, On March 29 during the unexpected collection, Dexter shoud set up the reversal of the write-off entry which they had made last March 11. So we debit Accounts receivable and credit bad debts in the amount of $9,100. Second, is to record the collection, debit cash and credit Accounts receivable in the amount of $9,100.
