Answer:

15%

Explanation:

The maximum rate of return that would be paid to borrow an additional $4,000 needed can be calculated as

Rate of return =\frac{Amount of interest}{Amount borrowed}

Rate of return = $600/$4000

Rate of return = 0.15 or 15%

NOTE: The amount of interest is the difference of interest earned at higher yield and interest earned at a lower yield.

Interest earned (higher yield) = $10,000 x 8%

Interest earned (higher yield) = $800

Interest earned (lower yield) = $14,000 x 10%

Interest earned (lower yield) = $1,400

Difference = $1,400-$800

Difference = $600

scoray [572]

Answer:

<u>Real Property </u>

Explanation:

Capital markets refer to the market which trades in long term securities whose maturity is more than an year.  The instruments traded in capital markets are usually stocks and bonds.

In private equity real estate, public and private investments are pooled together and invested in the real estate property markets. So here the underlying asset whose price fluctuates is property. If property prices soar, the investors stand to gain.

This kind of investment involves high risk but is also capable of generating a higher return as greater the risk involved, greater the return.

Onslow Co. purchased a used machine for $178,000 cash on January 2. On January 3, Onslow paid $2,840 to wire electricity to the
arsen [322]

Answer:

2nd January

Dr Machinery              $178,000

  Cr Cash                    $178,000

( to record the purchase of used machine)

3rd January

Dr Machinery              $4,000

  Cr Cash                    $4,000

(to capitalized the cost of wire electricity and installation to put the purchased machine in a ready-to-use stage).  

Explanation:

- According to the information, all the expenses relating to the purchase of used machine are in cash. Thus, Cash is credited at the total amount of $182,000, in which $178,000 is credited in 2nd January to record the purchased price and the other $4,000 (2,840 + 1,160) is credited in 3rd January.

- Under GAAP, the recorded costs of a purchased fixed asset should included all the costs incurred which are necessary to bring the fixed asset to a ready-to-use stage. As wire electricity cost & cost for securing the machine in its position are all necessary for the machine's operation, these costs should be capitalized.
