Answer:

a. 7,000 years

b. 2,333 years

c. 875 years

Explanation:

Based on rule of 70, we can have the following formula to do the calculation:

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ Interest rate per year .................... (1)

We can now calculate as follows:

a. A savings account earning 1% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 1% = 7,000 years

b. A U.S. Treasury bond mutual fund earning 3% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 3% = 2,333 years

c. A stock market mutual fund earning 8% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 8% = 875 years

Note:

It can be observed that the higher the interest rate, the lower the number of years it will take the investment to double.

melomori [17]

Answer:

132,000$ will be recorded by west as amortization expense for the year.

Explanation:

Depreciation/amortization is systematic allocation of cost of asset over its useful life. In this case asset cost is not given so we assume that PV of lease payment is equal to market value (660,000 dollars) of asset.

In case of leased asset the useful life taken for calculation of depreciation is lower of 1) Useful life 2) Lease term as per applicable accounting standards.

So we have taken 5 years to charge depreciation on Straight line method.

Hence by dividing 660000 by five we get our answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Sales of U.S. Treasury bills to the banking system by the Fed is a contractionary monetary policy that will reduce the money supply.

Based on the money supply multiplier, the amount of the reduction in money can be calculated as follows:

Amount of reduction in money supply = $25,000 / 10% = $250,000.

Therefore, if the banking system does NOT want to hold any excess reserves, <u>250,000</u> will be <u>substracted from</u> the money supply.
