Answer:

To determine the current equivalent cost of a construction built in 1980 whose cost was $ 2.7 million, we must establish the relationship between the price index for that year, comparing it with that of the current year.

Taking into account that the average cost index for 1980 was 1941, and that said value is currently 3620, we can note that there was a significant increase in costs. Since 3620/1941 = 1.86, to determine the current cost of construction we must multiply its cost by 1.86.

So, since 2.7 x 1.86 = 5.022, we can establish that the equivalent cost at current prices of said building would have been $ 5,022,000.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

A sunk cost is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

Sunk cost:- Sunk costs are those expenses that have been accumulated in the past and are thus in some way unrelated to judgment-making.

In the question referred to above, the company has already made $14 to produce. This cost will be inconsequential even if the company makes the units as it is or procedures them further.

As a result, $14 is a sunk expense.

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

For the following investments, identify whether they are: Trading debt securities. Available-for-sale debt securities. Held-to-m
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold.  - <u>Trading Debt Securities</u>

Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.

(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock.  - <u>None of the Above</u>

This is an Equity Investment.

(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year.  - <u>Trading Debt Securities</u>

Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.

(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold.  - <u>Available-for-sale debt securities</u>

Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.

(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time.  -<u> None of the above.</u>

This is an Equity investment as well.

(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - <u>Held-to-maturity debt securities.</u>

Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.
