Anika [276]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning balance of Retained Earnings = $75,000

Net income = $26,000

Ending retained earnings = $91,000

Total Balance during the year:

= Beginning balance of Retained Earnings + Net income

= $75,000 + $26,000

= $101,000

Dividend declared:

= Total Balance during the year - Ending retained earnings

= $101,000 - $91,000

= $10,000

Therefore, the amount of dividend declared by the Superior during its recent year of operation is $10,000.

Huai takes out a $3,600 student loan at 6.6% to help him with 2 years of community college. After finishing the 2 years, he tran

Alja [10]

Answer:

a. The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Explanation:

a. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 1.

To determine the amount of periodic payments, the present value of annuity formula should be used:

$PV=P(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} )$

Where:

PV= present value

p=periodic payment

i=rate of interest

n=number of periods

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 3,600 (loan).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 6.6% or 0.066. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.066 / 12).

n= 4 years and 7 months, that is 55 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.066}{12})^{-55} }{\frac{0.066}{12} } )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-55} }{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(0.7395812268)}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{0.2604187732}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(47.348867)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{3600}{47.348867}$

$P=76.03$

The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 2.

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 11,600 (loan 2).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 7.3% or 0.073. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.073 / 12).

n= 2 years and 7 months, that is 31 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.073}{12})^{-31} }{\frac{0.073}{12} } )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.006083)^{-31} }{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(0.8286047296)}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{0.1713952704}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(28.1761088936)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{11600}{28.1761088936}$

$P=411.69$

The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Tanzania [10]

Answer: A. Sales-type lease

Explanation:

A Sales type lease is one where the present value of all the lease payments of the Asset being leased is more than the cost/ carrying amount of the Asset.

The present value of the lease Payments is the Fair Value of the asset and as seen from the question, the fair value of the asset is more than the cost of the Asset. The lease will therefore be accounted for as a Sales type lease by the lessor.

It is worthy of note that this entry affects only the lessor.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

An inferior good

Explanation:

An inferior good is a good whose demand decreases with consumer's increase in income. John's increase in pay, that came with his promotion, triggered John to switch to driving everywhere he goes instead of riding the bus. This is because John feels that riding the bus is no longer fit for him, now that he could readily afford driving around in the stead of taking the cheaper bus ride.
