Answer: Not necessarily: The debt ratios are not directly comparable, since each company is in a different industry.

Explanation:

We cannot authoritatively state that even though Boeing has such a high debt rate, that it is a riskier company than either Microsoft or PG&E. This is due to the drawback in ratio analysis of bias if compared across different industries.

Ratio analysis best works when comparing companies in the same industry because their situations will be similar. Comparing across industries can be misleading because different industries operate in different ways. In the Airplane manufacturing business for instance, having a high amount of debt due to having the tangible assets to back it up might be a normal thing.

The debt ratios are therefore not directly comparable because each company is in a different industry.

Answer:

1) Suppose Ginger deposits $5,000 in cash into her checking account at the Bank of Skidoo. Show this transaction in a T-account for the Bank of Skidoo.

Reserves                                                  Checkable deposits

debit             credit                                  debit             credit  

5,000                                                                             5,000

2) The Bank of Skidoo has no excess reserves and is subject to a 6 percent required reserve ratio. Assume the Bank of Skidoo makes the maximum loan possible from Ginger's deposit to Thurston. Show this transaction in a new T-account for the Bank of Skidoo.

Reserves                                                  Loans

debit             credit                                  debit             credit  

5,000                                                       4,700

<u>                      4,700</u>                            

300

3) Thurston decides to use the money he borrowed to purchase a sail boat. He writes a check for the entire loan amount to Gilligan's Seagoing Vessels, which deposits the check in its bank, the Paradise Bank of Kona, Hawaii. When the check clears, the Bank of Skidoo transfers the funds to the Paradise Bank. Show these transactions in a new T-account for the Bank of Skidoo.

Reserves                                                  Checkable deposits

debit             credit                                  debit             credit  

5,000                                                                             5,000

                     4,700                                  <u>4,700                      </u>

300                                                                                 300

<u>                      4,700 </u>

                     4,400

4) The maximum amounts of deposits that can be created from Ginger's initial deposit is $_____

Increase in checkable deposits = change in bank reserves / required reserves = $5,000 / 6% = $83,333.33

The maximum amounts of loans that can be created from Ginger's initial deposit is $_____

the maximum amount of loans that can be created in Ginger's bank is $4,700, but the maximum amount that loans can be created in the whole banking system = $83,333.33 - $5,000 = $78,333.33

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). However, an exception occur
o-na [289]

Answer:

The future value of a 18-year annuity of $2,000 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period is $59,078.

Explanation:

We apply the formula to calculate future value of annuity to find the future value of 18-year annuity as at the beginning of year 18 ( because payment comes at the beginning of the year):

2,000/5% x (1.05^18 -1) = $56,264.77.

We further compound the future value of 18-year annuity as at the beginning of year 18 for one period to come up with the future value of this annuity as at the end of 18 year time:

56,264.77 x 1.05 = $59,078.

So, the answer is $59,078.

Un a supermarket, a vendor's restocking the shelves every monday morning is an example of?
Vadim26 [7]

In a supermarket, a vendor's restocking the shelves every Monday morning is an example of fixed order interval.

The situation where an inventory item has independent demand and orders are placed on a constant time period basis is referred to be an FOI system, also known as a periodic review system.

A technique for inventory control is the Fixed Order Interval System. The inventory model also goes by the name fixed reorder cycle. By monitoring the product demand in this, a set interval is formed. It is employed to control the raw material supply.
