Answer:

B) The yield on a 5-year Treasury bond must exceed that on a 2-year Treasury bond.

Explanation:

The yield on 5-year Treasury bond must be higher than a 2-year Treasury bond. This is because the expected inflation rate after 2-years will be constant at 4% and there is also a maturity risk premium which increase with the increase in maturity of the bond. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

The accountant for Eva's Laundry prepared the following unadjusted and adjusted trial balances. Assume that all balances in the
amm1812

Answer:

See the errors identified below.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The following errors can be identified in the accountant's adjusting entries:

1.The accountant debited the account receivable for $5,000 (i.e. $23,250 - $18,250 = $5,000) without crediting laundry revenue.

Therefore, we should have:

Correct amount of laundry revenue = Laundry revenue in trial balance + (Adjusted account receivable - Unadjusted account receivable) = $182,100 + ($23,250 - $18,250) = $187100

2. The accountant debited laundry suppliers expense instead of crediting laundry suppliers for $3,000.

3. The the accountant credited Prepaid insurance for $3,600 (i.e. $5,200 - $1,600 = $3,600). However, the insurance expense was debited for $600.

4. Instead of crediting accumulated depreciation, the laundry equipment for depreciation expense was erroneously credited by the accountant for $13,000.

5. A debit of $1,000 to wages expense was not made by the accountant.

<u>Additional Note:</u>

After correcting the errors identified above, the correct adjusted trial balance will look as the one in the attached photo.

A problem that the Fed faces when it attempts to control the money supply is that a. since the U.S. has a fractional-reserve ban
NeTakaya

Answer:

A) since the U.S. has a fractional-reserve banking system, the amount of money in the economy depends in part on the behavior of depositors and bankers.

Explanation:

Since US banks operate under a fractional reserve banking system, they have the capacity to create money through the money multiplier, e.g. you deposit $1,000 in bank A, then bank A borrows $850 to Steven and he purchases a new bike from Sarah. Then Sarah deposits the money in bank B, and bank B borrows $722 to George who buys a laptop from Henry. Henry then deposits the money in bank C, and bank C borrows $614 to Susan, and this goes on and on.

The problem that the Fed faces is that in order for the fractional reserve system to work, households must hold their money in banks. Ans that is something that the government cannot control, specially the amount or portion that is deposited. The other players are banks, that ideally should borrow all the money that they are allowed to.

Damon Co. purchased 100% of the outstanding common stock of Smith Co. in an acquisition by issuing 20,000 shares of its $1 par c
Tamiku [17]

Answer: the correct answer is $70000

Explanation: the fair value of the shares given plus the fair value of the contingent consideration is the total amount paid by the buyer which is (20000 shares * $10 price per share) = $200000+$10000= $210000.

The gain of the transaction is registered as the net fair value of the acquiree that is $350000-$70000= $280000 less the sum paid by the Acquirer that is $280000-$210000= $70000.

The $15000 in direct acquisition costs are registered as period expenses and not relevant for the calculation of the gain of the transaction.
