Answer:

rate = 6.54%

Explanation:

we need to find the rate at which a capital of 300,000 becomes 1,000,000 in a period of time of 19 years.

<u>So we build the following equation:</u>

300,000 (1+r)^{19} =1,000,000

(1+r)^{19} =1,000,000 \div 300,000

r=\sqrt[19]{1,000,000 \div 300,000}-1

rate = 0.065417765 = 6.54% after rounding

This will be the rate my parent will require to generate 1,000,000 in 19 years with their current savings of 300,000.

muminat

Answer:

The graph has been attached.

Explanation:

a. Please see attached graph with the shaded budget set labelled A

b. Please see attached. Curve C; D and E are the indifference curves. The most suitable one would be D since it is on the budget curve. E is not maximum utility and C is unattainable given his budget of $20.

c.  U (X,Y) = X + 2Y

At C, Utility = 10 + 2(10) = $30. That is above his budget

At D, Utility = 10 + 2(5) = $20. This is within his budget. – most utility.

At E, Utility = 5 + 2(5) = $15. This is below his budget.  

The Indifference curve that gives most utility is D, where cheese is 10 and cocoa is 5 units.

Selected financial information for Thornton Company for 2019 follows: Sales $ 2,000,000 Cost of goods sold 1,400,000 Merchandise
frutty [35]

Answer:

7.80 times

Explanation:

First of all we have to calculate the average inventory

Opening inventory= 159,000

Closing inventory= 200,000

Average inventory= (opening inventory+closing inventory)/2

= ( 159,000+200,000)/2

= 359,000/2

= 179,500

The next step is to find the merchandise inventory turnover which is calculated as

= Cost of goods/ Average inventory

Cost of goods= $1,400,000

Average inventory= 179,500

= 1,400,000/179,500

= 7.799 times

= 7.80 times (to 2 decimal places)

Hence the merchandise inventory was turned over 7.80 times in 2019

g Which of the following are the three factors used to determine a company's credit rating? Its current ratio, its debt-to-equit
NISA [10]

The three factors used to determine a company’s credit rating are its current ratio, its debt-to-equity ratio, and its interest coverage ratio.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A credit rating comes in the list of the company’s annual performance targets. It helps to decide the company’s current year progress.  
  • A company’s debt-to-equity ratio is used to know the debt of a company as compared to the total equity. If this ratio is high, the company is taking on much debt.  
  • The current ratio marks a way to compute the liquidity of the company. It shows how well a firm is placed to meet the short term obligations. Broadly, a 2-1 ratio is considered a good ratio.
  • The interest coverage ratio tells how well the company may pay its future loan payments. If the ratio is higher than 3-to-1, it suggests that the company is in a good position to make future payments.

Suppose monetary neutrality holds and velocity is constant. A 5 percent increase in the money supply increases the price level b
Alex73 [517]

Answer:  Increases the price level by 5 percent

Explanation:

Monetary Neutrality is a theory in Economics that posits that when there is a change in money supply in an economy, the only variables affected are the nominal ones like price level and wages and Real variables like GDP and employment are not affected.

It holds that when there is an increase in money supply, there is an equivalent increase in Price level as well because the value of money has fallen by the rate of the monetary increase. The Price level rising at the same rate is to compensate.

A 5 percent increase in the money supply will therefore increase the price level by 5 percent.
