Answer:

The bon's real rate of return is 1.39%.

As we know the inflation rate behave same as the bond yield because the bond yield includes the inflation impact.

In case of if there is a increase in the inflation in future. I will not buy this bond, because the price of the bond will fall and as percentage increases the present value of the cash flows also decreases which is the basis used for pricing the bons.

In case of if there is a decrease in the inflation in future, I will buy this bond, because the price of the bond will rise and as percentage decreases the present value of the cash flows also increases which is the basis used for pricing the bons.

Explanation:

Real Rate of return = Nominal rate - Inflation rate

As Bond yield is nominal rate

Real rate of return = 5.78% - 4.39% = 1.39%

On January 1, 2021, Laramie Inc. acquired land for $6.2 million. Laramie paid $1.2 in cash and signed a 6% note requiring the co
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The amount Laramie should record the purchase of land is <u>$6.2 million</u>.

Explanation:

The costs of a fixed asset refer to the purchase price and other relevant costs which are incurred in order to the location and working condition required to operate the fixed asset in way that it is intended.

The other relevant costs that are added to the purchase price to arrive at the cost of the fixed assets include professional fees, non-refundable taxes or levies, and among others.

If any trade discount or rebate is given, this will be deducted from the purchase price to arrive at the cost.

Any interest required to be paid on the delayed payment in order to reflects the time value of money are not part of the cost of the asset but expensed in the year they are incurred.

From the question, the land acquired is a fixed asset. Based on the explanation above, the total cost of the asset is $6.2 million. The interest from the 6% interest rate on the remaining $5 million will be part of the cost of the land but it will be expensed in the year they are incurred.

Therefore, the amount Laramie should record the purchase of land is <u>$6.2 million</u>.

At the beginning of the year, Sigma Company's balance sheet reported Total Assets of $195,000 and Total Liabilities of $75,000.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The answer is: Equity at the end of the year will be $123,000

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year the balance sheet was as following:

assets $195,000                   liabilities $75,000

                                              equity $ 120,000

Then during the year the income statement is:

  • total revenues $226,000
  • <u>total expenses $175,000  </u>
  • net income       $ 51,000 (this increases assets and equity)

If the owners withdrew $48,000, then cash and equity will decrease.

The ending balance for the year:

assets $195,000 + $51,000          liabilities $75,000

           -$48,000 =                         equity $120,000 + $51,000 - $48,000 =

           $198,000                                       $123,000

A borrower is unsure whether to go with a fixed rate or adjustable rate loan. what kind of questions would you ask to help them
katovenus [111]
I would ask them if they were comfortable with a fluctuating rate, which though at the moment is lower than the fixed rate, could go up in the future. I would also ask them if they needed to be sure of the rate say for example for a 5 year term like in a mortgage for peace of mind or if they are willing to take a risk with the fluctuations. If the latter, I would tell them that at any time they could lock it in for a 5 year term if they saw it going up.

When a company owner practices price discrimination, the marginal revenue of an extra unit sold.
Kamila [148]

When a business owner uses price discrimination, the marginal revenue curve and the market demand curve are in line, therefore the marginal revenue is the same as the product's price.

The additional money made by selling one more unit of output is known as marginal revenue. The law of diminishing returns eventually leads marginal revenue to start dropping as output level grows, even though it can stay constant at a certain level of output.

The incremental cost or profit made when producing the following item is referred to as marginal. While marginal cost is the additional expense for producing one extra unit, marginal product is the increased revenue.
