Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

A person earns interest on saving. The increase in the purchasing power is equal to the real interest rate of the savings. Real interest rate is the inflation adjusted interest rate. It is calculated by deducting the rate of inflation from the nominal interest rate.

a. The nominal interest rate = 10% and inflation = 8%

Real interest rate

= Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

= 10% -  8%

= 2%

b. The nominal interest rate = 9% and inflation = 6%

Real interest rate

= Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

= 9% -  6%

= 3%

c. The nominal interest rate = 8% and inflation = 4%

Real interest rate

= Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

= 8% -  4%

= 4%

d.  The nominal interest rate = 7% and inflation = 2%

Real interest rate

= Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

= 7% -  2%

= 5%

Since the real interest rate is highest in case of option d, it is the correct answer.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

$284,000

Explanation:

                     ABC Corporation

       Consolidate Income Statement

For the year ended, 31 December, 20XX

Particulars               ABC                   XYZ                

Sales                     $500,000         320,000                        

Less: Expenses   <u>$(280,000)      $(240,000)</u>

Net Income          $220,000          $80,000                

Consolidated Income for the year under the proprietary theory approach for ABC corporation = $220,000 + (80,000 × 80%) = $220,000 + 64,000

= $284,000

According to the proprietary theory approach, the wholly-owned company will get the same percentage it owns the proportionate of that subsidiary company or companies.

rawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2022. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on July 9.
MakcuM [25]

Answer: C : They will need to subtract a partial year of depreciation from the book value of the second truck but not the first truck.

Explanation:

When disposing of fixed assets such as vehicles, depreciation has to be charged on them to see their Net Book Value.

Companies usually depreciate their vehicles on a yearly basis in accordance with the end of their fiscal year. This company therefore most likely depreciates on December 31.

The first truck is sold 2 days after this Depreciation so there is no need to add more depreciation to it.

However the second truck on the other hand was sold 6 months later. Depreciation needs to charged on this substantial period but since it was not for the full year, a partial one needs to be charged.

Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones. The phones cost $60 each to produce. A salvage company will buy the defe
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Signal Company

Signal should rework the phones with its excess capacity.  Reworking reduces its loss by $10,000 (or $10 per phone).

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of defective cell phones produced = 1,000

Cost of production per phone = $60

Salvage value per phone = $30

Additional rework cost per phone = $80

Selling price after reworking per phone = $120

Differential Analysis:

                                     Scrap         Rework       Difference

Sales revenue          $30,000      $120,000       $90,000

Cost of production    60,000         140,000         80,000

Loss                         $30,000        $20,000        $10,000

Per unit calculations:

                                     Scrap         Rework       Difference

Sales revenue              $30              $120              $90

Cost of production        60                 140                80

Loss                             $30                $20              $10
