Answer:

The correct answer is B. Decrease and transfer payments increase.

Explanation:

Automatic stabilizers soften cyclic fluctuations through their effect on aggregate demand. Indeed, when the economy is in a contractive or recessive phase, the negative or very reduced economic growth generates a decrease in fiscal revenues while higher unemployment increases public expenditures. Consequently, private sector disposable income decreases less than GDP does, thus limiting the contractual effect on aggregate demand, growth and employment. Therefore, the budget balance worsens in this phase by stimulating the economy and facilitating economic recovery. In the opposite sense, in times of expansion, automatic stabilizers generate higher public revenues and lower spending, which allows to increase the public surplus - or reduce the deficit - avoiding excessive expansion that could have negative effects on cycle volatility and price stability.

Answer:

  1. 34 coupons.
  2. $33.75

Explanation:

The coupons are the interest payments the bond makes.

1. The bond has a term of 17 years and coupons are to be paid semi-annually.

This means that for every year, 2 coupon payments will be made.

In 17 years therefore:

= 17 * 2

= 34 coupons

2. The interest on this bond is 6.75% in a year. The coupon is however, semi-annual. Payment per coupon will therefore be half of the yearly rate:

= 6.75% * 1,000 * 1/2

= $33.75

The capitalized cost of any investment may be determined using the equation P = A/i where P is the capitalized cost, A is the an
statuscvo [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: The matching principle is used to compute capitalized costs by companies and it records expenses in the same period as the related revenues by matching the cost of an asset to the time periods in which it is used, and is therefore generating revenue.

Capitalized cost is also given as the present worth of cash flows which go on for an infinite period of time. In other words, the worth of cash flows does not leave the company when items are purchased. This is because the monetary value  is retained in the form of a fixed or intangible asset.

The capitalized cost of any investment can be determined using the equation, P = A/i.  Where P is the capitalized cost, A is the annual amount and i is the interest rate.

Orange Co. is a manufacturer and Pineapple Company is a merchandiser. What is the difference in the budgets the two entities wil
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Orange Co.'s budget will include the cost of production, which is made up of raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.  The above cost of production and the accompanying items will not be found in the budget of Pineapple Company.  The latter's budget will focus on purchase of goods for sale (instead of raw materials) and inventories of finished goods (instead of raw materials and work in process).  Orange Co. determines its product cost per unit from the cost of production divided by the quantity produced.  Pineapple Company's product cost is based on the purchase price of goods, which includes the manufacturer's profit.

Explanation:

The operations and accounting for the cost of production of Orange Co. will be different from Pineapple Company's.  The difference is a reflection of their statuses as manufacturer and merchandiser respectively.  Orange Co. manufactures and sells goods while Pineapple Company sell manufactured goods.

The market price of Friden Company's common stock increased from $15 to $18. Earnings per share of common stock remained unchang
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Old market price of stock = $15

New market price of stock = $18

Here, we assume that EPS be $5.

So,

Price-earning ratio at old price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{15}{5}

                                                   = 3

Price-earning ratio at New price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{18}{5}

                                                   = 3.6

Hence, price-earnings ratio increases.
