dlinn [17]

Answer:

Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves $450,000

Explanation:

Preparation of the table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves

Based on the information given since the REQUIRED RESERVE RATIO is 25%, which means that First Main Street Bank will hold 25% of its initial deposit leading to INCREASE in the REQUIRED RESERVE by the amount of $450,000 (25%*$1,800,000) while the remaining 75% (100%-25%) will be the EXCESS RESERVES of the amount of $1,350,000 (75%*$1,800,000).

Hence:

Amount Deposited: $1,800,000

Change in Excess Reserves=$1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves= $450,000

Therefore the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves will be:

Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves $450,000

Holiday Laboratories Laboratories purchased a high speed industrial centrifuge at a cost of $420,000. Shipping costs totaled $15

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$455,000

Explanation:

Given that,

high speed industrial centrifuge at a cost = $420,000

Shipping costs = $15,000

Foundation work = $8,000

additional water line = $3,000

Labor and testing costs = $6,000

Materials used up in testing = $3,000

Total Costs to be capitalized:

= High-speed industrial centrifuge + Shipping costs + Foundation Work + Additional Water Line + Labor and testing costs + Materials used in testing

= $420,000 + $15,000 + $8,000 + $3,000 + $6,000 + $3,000

= $455,000

BigorU [14]

The expected return on this portfolio will be given by:
E[P]=Rf+(E[Rm]-Rf)β
Where:
Rf=Risk Free interest rate
Rm=Return on the market portfolio
β= Market Beta
The return on our portfolio will be:
E[p]=0.043+(0.128-0.043)0.013
=0.043+0.085*0.013
=0.044105
=4.4105%

Here, Steve's casualty loss will be gotten when we compare both his adjusted basis and the fair market value and then we choose the lesser one. Since $35000 is lesser than $50000, therefore the answer will be $35000.
