Total assets is increased by $18,100

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

= Cash received from the issue of stock + revenue earned on account - cash paid for operating expenses

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

                                                                     Dr.       Cr.

Work-in-Process Inventory - Dept. 2:        750

Identify each statement as either true or false. In the United States, banks keep the entire value of all customer deposits in t
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

In the United States, banks keep the entire value of all customer deposits in the bank vault to meet customer withdrawals. FALSE.

Banks keep only a portion of the customer deposits in the bank vault. A small portion is kept with the Fed called the Reserve Requirement.

Banks typically loan out a portion of customer deposits. TRUE.

Banks only loan out the portion of customer deposits that they did not leave with the Fed.

Bank runs occur when many customers attempt to withdraw deposits from a bank at the same time and the bank is unable to pay all customer withdrawals. TRUE.

When too many people try to withdraw from a bank, the bank might not meet these obligations because they loaned out money to people and those people were not yet due to pay back. This is a bank run.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) protects bank depositors from bank failure. TRUE.

The fractional reserve banking system requires all banks to keep the total value of customer deposits in their vaults to prevent bank runs. FALSE.

As explained in the first paragraph, the Fed requires that banks keep a portion of customer deposits with the Fed instead of the total value of customer deposits.

How is the idea of "strategic intent" different from models of strategy that emphasize achieving a fit between the firm’s strate
Irina18 [472]

Answer & Explanation:

In terms of completion of goals, the key difference between strategic aim and SWOT is the time-frame.  

In this case, the strategic goal is future-oriented and long-term (around 10-20 years). The strategic goal is simply to make sure that the whole enterprise, in order to meet potential business demand, works on forecasting consumer demand in the future, reinforcing and enhancing its core competences.

On the other side, in implementing the corporate goals and achieving success, SWOT has a short-term outlook. In this context, SWOT focuses on current data and knowledge, such as specific expertise, current business demand and satisfying this need.

You just received an offer in the mail to transfer your $5,000 balance from your current credit card, which charges an annual ra
NARA [144]

Answer:

number of payment is 3.05 payment

so correct option is b 3.05 payments

Explanation:

balance = $5000

annual rate r1 = 18.7 % = \frac{0.187}{12} = 0.01558

credit card charging r2 = 5.9% = \frac{0.059}{12} = 0.004917

payments P = $250  month

to find out

How many fewer payments will you have to make to pay off this debt if you transfer the balance to the new card

solution

we first find time t both rate by total balance formula that is

balance =  P * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}    ...........................1

here P is payment and t is time and r is rate

put here all value and find t for r1

balance =  P * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}  

5000 =  250 * \frac{1-(1+0.01558)^{-t}}{0.01558}

take log both side

log 0.6884 = log 1 - log(1+0.01558)^{t}    

t = 24.1519        .................2

and now put here all value and find t for r2

balance =  P * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}  

5000 =  250 * \frac{1-(1+0.00492)^{-t}}{0.00492}

take log both side

log 0.9016 = log 1 - log(1+0.00492)^{t}  

t = 21.1055         .....................3

so by equation 2 and 3

so no of payment will be 24.1519 - 21.1055

so number of payment is 3.05 payment

so correct option is b 3.05 payments
