On January 1, 1980, Jack deposited 1,000 into Bank X to earn interest at the rate of j per annum compounded semi-annually. On Ja

nuary 1, 1985, he transferred his account to Bank Y to earn interest at the rate of k per annum compounded quarterly. On January 1, 1988, the balance at Bank Y is 1,990.76. If Jack could have earned interest at the rate of k per annum compounded quarterly from January 1, 1980 through January 1, 1988, his balance would have been 2,203.76. Calculate the ratio kjkj.

Answer:

Ratio k/j is 1.25.

Explanation:

Note: There is a slight typographical error in the requirement. The requirement is therefore correctly stated as follows:

Calculate the ratio k/j.

The explanation of the answer is given as follows:

This can be calculated using the following formula:

A = P (1 + (r / m))^(tm) ……………………….. (1)

Where;

A = Balance

P = Amount invested

r = annual interest rate

t = number of years

m = number of compounding

From the question, there are 2 alternatives as follows:

<u>Alternative A</u>

For Bank X

P1 = $1,000

r1 = j

t1 = number of years from 1980 to 1985 = 5

m1 = semiannual = 2

A1 = Amount transferred to Bank Y = P2 = ?

For Bank Y

P2 = ?

r2 = k

t2 = number of years from 1985 to 1988 = 3

m2 = quarterly = 4

A2 = $1,990.76

<u>Alternative B</u>

For Bank Y only

P3 = $1,000

r3 = k

t3 = number of years from 1980 to 1988 = 8

m3 = quarterly = 4

A3 = $2,203.76

For Bank Y in alternative B, we can use equation (1) and solve for k as follows:

2,203.76 = 1000 * (1 + (k / 4))^(8 * 4)

2,203.76 / 1000 = (1 + (k / 4))^32

2.20376 = (1 + (k / 4))^32

2.20376^(1/32) = 1 + (k / 4)

1.02500004450895 = 1 + (k / 4)

1.02500004450895 - 1 = k / 4

0.02500004450895 = k / 4

k = 0.02500004450895 * 4

k = 0.10

For Bank Y in alternative A, we can use r2 = k = 0.10. Therefore, using equation (1) for Bank Y in alternative A, we can solve for P2 as follows:

1,990.76 = P2 * (1 + (0.10 / 4))^(3 * 4)

1,990.76 = P2 * 1.3448888242463

P2 = 1,990.76 / 1.3448888242463

P2 = $1,480.24

From Bank X in alternative A, we now have A1 = P2 = $1,480.24. For Bank X in alternative A, we can now use equation (1) and solve for j as follows:

1,480.24 = 1,000 (1 + (j / 2))^(5 * 2)

1,480.24 / 1,000 =(1 + (j / 2))^10

1.480.24 =(1 + (j / 2))^10

1.480.24^(1 / 10) = 1 + (j / 2)

1.03999969894693 - 1 = j / 2

0.03999969894693 = j / 2

j = 0.03999969894693 * 2

j = 0.08

Since k = 0.10 and j = 0.08, ratio k/j can be calculated as follows:

Ratio k/j = 0.10 / 0.08

Ratio k/j = 1.25

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The rewards and punishment serve the purpose of motivating the employees.

Explanation: First of all, we must establish that companies should have set guidelines or principles on which they operate, especially when it comes to ethics and acceptable workplace behavior.

Secondly, we must acknowledge the fact that there is always a reward or consequence for our actions. Especially in the workplace where employees are constantly monitored.

Now, based on the Theory X of management that was developed by Douglas McGregor, which basically states that employees are unmotivated and unwilling to work, and as a result of this, they need to be constantly prompted, rewarded or punished to make sure that they complete their tasks.

So to answer the question, the rewards and punishments serve the purpose of motivating the employees to be of good conduct in the workplace, because if this is not done, bad behavior might spread throughout the company and this will cause further problems.

inessss [21]

Answer:

See the journal entry below.

Explanation:

Before preparing the journal entry, the following are calculated first:

Income tax expense in 2019 = (Taxable income in 2019 * Tax rate in 2019) + (Taxable income in 2020 * Tax rate in 2020) + (Taxable income in 2021 * Tax rate in 2021) = ($158,000 * 40%) + ($195,000 * 45%) + ($92,100 * 45%) = $193,395

Deferred tax liability in 2019 = (Taxable income in 2020 * Tax rate in 2020) + (Taxable income in 2021 * Tax rate in 2021) = ($195,000 * 45%) + ($92,100 * 45%) = $129,195

Income tax payable in 2019 = Taxable income in 2019 * Tax rate in 2019 = $158,000 * 40% = $63,200

Income tax payable in 2020 = Taxable income in 2020 * Tax rate in 2020 = $195,000 * 45% = $87,750

Income tax payable in 2021 = Taxable income in 2021 * Tax rate in 2021 = $92,100 * 45% = $41,445

The journal entry will look as follows:

<u>Date                  General journal                  Debit ($)         Credit ($)    </u>

31 Dec 2019      Income tax expense          193,395  

                             Deferred tax liability                                129,195      

                             Income tax payable                                 63,200

<u><em>                            (To record income tax payable.)                                 </em></u>

31 Dec 2020     Deferred tax liability            87,750      

                             Income tax payable                                 87,750

<u><em>                            (To record income tax payable.)                                 </em></u>

31 Dec 2021     Deferred tax liability            41,445      

                             Income tax payable                                41,445

<u><em>                            (To record income tax payable.)                                 </em></u>
