Answer:

D : project's rate of return is less than the required rate of return.

Explanation:

Net present value (NPV) is a projects evaluation technique that analyzes the present values of predicted future revenues and expenses. In other words, NPV is the current value of future inflows minus costs. In calculating the NPV, future values are discounted with an appropriate discount rate to give the present value.

The NPV can be a positive, zero or negative. Projects with positive NPV are preferred because they are considered profitable. A negative NPV signals that the present value of the expected inflows is lower than the current value of the projected cost at the required discount rate. If the discount rate is maintained, the project is a loss-making venture.

The use of a very high discount rate may give any projects a negative NPV.

Answer:

C. projected increasing health care costs for the aging population.

Explanation:

If the debt to GDP ration increases, it means that the country will owe more money compared to capacity of creating wealth. A common problem for several developed countries is that the proportion or retired people has increased compared to the total active labor force. This means that the number of people working or searching of jobs relative to the number of retired people has decreased. Even though retired people tend to have more accumulated wealth, their living expenses are also much higher. What makes this situation a problem is that retired people only have passive income, they do not have earned income. And generally speaking, passive income grows at a much lower rate that earned income.

This is why many developed countries started to implement immigration policies focusing on highly trained and educated applicants that can replace their native workforce.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The amount of income assigned to the two partners would be $18,100 and $19,900 respectively.

Explanation:

For computing the amount of income assigned to the two partners, we have to do the following calculations which are shown below:

1. Dividend amount for each partner:

For Fred = Invested amount × rate of return

= $20,000 × 15%

=$3,000

For Barney = Invested amount × rate of return

= $32,000 × 15%

= $4,800

The total dividend amount equals to

= Fred dividend + barney dividend

= $3,000 + $4,800

= $7,800

2. Now compute the remaining amount, and divide it in the sharing ratio

So, the remaining amount would be

= Partnership income - total dividend amount

= $38,000 - $7,800

= $30,200

So the Fred income would be = $30,200 × 50% = $15,100

And, the barney income would be = $30,200 × 50% = $15,100

So, the amount of income:

For Fred = Dividend income + remaining income

= $3,000 + $15,100

= $18,100

For Barney = Dividend income + remaining income

=$4,800 + $15,100

= $19,900

Hence, the amount of income assigned to the two partners would be $18,100 and $19,900 respectively.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a. The Date on which Revenue was earned is April 2.

The Cash was received on March 3 and Revenue was earned on April 2 so no the earnings were not received on the same date the cash was received.

b. The date revenue was earned was February 28.

The Cash was received on the February 28 and the Services were given on the February 28. So yes the earnings occur the same date the cash was received.

Explanation:

To understand this let us create a Journal Entry for the transaction on March 3 first:

Debit: Cash $1,000

Credit: Services Payable $1,000

To record cash earned from the services payable.

At this time Momentu Occasions have earned the Cash but it cannot be recorded as revenue as the services are still a liability which are yet to be given.

Now lets record the Journal Entry from April 2:

Debit: Services Payable $1,000

Credit: Service Revenue $1,000

To record Revenue earned.

Now the Services Payable account will be canceled out and the revenue entry will be generated. Hence we can come to conclusion and drive our answers from it;

For Sophomore Class the Journal entry can be recorded as follows on the February 28:

Debit: Cash $4,100

Credit: Service Revenue $4,100

To record Service given at Cash.
