If, over a given period, the index of export prices rises by 10% and the index of import prices rises by 5%, the terms of trade

are: 110 x 100 / 105 = 104.8 This means that the terms of trade have improved by 4.8%. When the terms of trade rise above 100 they are said to be improving and when they fall below 100 they are said to be worsening. If a country's terms of trade improve, it means that for every unit of exports sold it can buy less units of imported goods.

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

When the terms of trade improve, it means that a country is actually selling more goods and services to foreign countries than the total amount of goods and services it is importing from foreign countries. For every dollar that a country is exporting, it is importing less than 1 dollar. But this improvement in the terms of trade will actually result in an appreciation of the domestic currency. This means that for every dollar that you export, you will be able to import more goods from foreign countries.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in which of the following circumst
Katarina [22]

Answer:

B. 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.

A decedent refers to a deceased person who is no longer able to control his or her properties (wealth).

Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.

This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in the following circumstances:

I. The decedent gave the policy to his father four years ago, but retained the right to change the name of the beneficiary.

II. The policy beneficiary is a grantor trust of the decedent but the policy is owned by a closely-held corporation.

King Company issued bonds with a face amount of $1,600,000 in 2015. As of January 1, 2020, the balance in Discount on Bonds Paya
zimovet [89]

Answer:

January 1, 2020

Bonds Payable                                          1600000 Dr

Loss on Redemption of bonds                 36800 Cr

     Discount on Bonds Payable                        4800 Cr

     Cash                                                              1632000 Cr

Explanation:

The redemption of bonds before the maturity usually requires a payment for redemption which is a certain percentage of its face value. It is usually higher than the face value. The above bonds are redeemed at 102 which means at 102% of the face value of the bonds. Thus, the cash paid to redeem the bonds is,

Cash = 1600000 * 102%  =  1632000

The bonds have a carrying value, which is the face value less discount or add premium, of,

Carrying value = 1600000 - 4800  =  $1595200

If they are redeemed for an amount in excess of the carrying value, they are redeemed at a loss.

The loss on redemption is,

Loss = 1595200 - 1632000 = $36800

During its first year of operation Mazer Manufacturing Company produced 2,000 units of inventory and sold 1,800 units. Mazer inc
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:  The amount of gross margin Mazer would report if the company uses absorption costing is $1350.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mazer Manufacturing Company produced = 2,000 units of inventory

Units Sold = 1,800 units

Variable product cost = $4 per unit

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost =  $2,500

Sales price of the products = $6 per unit

Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = \frac{Total\ cost}{units\ produced}

= \frac{2500}{2000}

= $1.25 per unit

Unit Product cost under Absorption costing = Variable product cost + Fixed manufacturing cost per unit

= 4 + 1.25

= $5.25

∴ Gross margin under Absorption costing = Sales Revenue - Cost of goods sold

= Units sold × sales price - Units sold × Unit Product cost under Absorption costing

= 1800 × 6 - 1800 × 5.25

= 10800 - 9450

= $1350

You have your choice of two investment accounts. Investment A is a five-year annuity that features end-of-month $2,500 payments
oee [108]

Answer:

$119,176.06

Explanation:

Calculation for How much would you need to invest in B today

First step is to calculate the Future value of annuity (FVA)

FVA =$2,500 * ({[1 + (.115 / 12)](5 × 12) - 1} / (.115 / 12))

FVA = $201,462.23

Since we have known the FVA Second Step will be to calculate the Present value (PV)

PV = $201,462.23 × e-1 × .105 × 5

PV= $119,176.06

Therefore the amount that you would need to invest in B today will be $119,176.06
