Answer: B. an increase in interest rates that decrease economic growth.

Explanation:

If interest rates were to rise in an Economy, that would mean that the cost of borrowing just rose. The rise in the Cost of Borrowing reduces consumer spending as well as business investment. This will therefore lead to a lower Aggregate demand. A lower AD in the Economy usually leads to a decrease in economic growth.

Now, if such things were to happen, a firm may definitely invest in fewer projects because first off it will be more expensive for them to borrow and invest because of the high rates. They will also be discouraged because of the Decrease in economic growth as the chances of their projects doing well will be drop in a depreciating economy.

Clampett, Incorporated, has been an S corporation since its inception. On July 15, 2021, Clampett, Incorporated, distributed $50
statuscvo [17]

Answer:the total amount of income J.D. recognizes related to Clampett, Incorporated, in 2021 =$5,000

Explanation:

Income  of J.D related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain

Given that Basis distribution = $50,000

                   Basis stock = $45,000

                  Ordinary income = $10,000

But Capital gain  = Basis distribution -( Basis stock  + Ordinary income)

Capital gain = $50,000 - ($45,000 +$10,000)

Capital gain =  $50,000 - $55,000

Capital gain =  = - $5,000

Therefore J.D. income related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain =$10,000 +(- $5,000)

=$10,000 - $5,000

=$5,000

Andrea invests $5,000 in five Epic Electronics bonds that mature in 10 years. Unexpectedly just the week after she invests, she
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The answer is option C. She may immediately sell the bonds but it is unclear how much money they will sell for.

Explanation:

She may immediately sell the bonds but it is unclear how much money they will sell for.

Investors who hold onto their bonds until maturity are assured of to receive the face value of the bond. In our case, if Andrea would have chosen to hold her $5,000  bond investment for 10 years, she would have been assured the  bonds face value, however since she prefers to use the cash to work abroad, she can sell the bonds immediately.

Selling a bond before it's maturity date can either be beneficial or detrimental. This depends on the value of the bond at the time of sale. If at the time of sale the bond would have gained value, then the bond will sell at a higher price than when it was bought. On the other hand, if the bond at the time of sale has lost value, then the bond will sell at a lower price than the price which it was bought.

In our case, the best option for Andrea would be to sell the bonds immediately, since she really needs the cash. If it happens that at the point at which she sells the bonds they will have gained value, then she will have more than $5,000 cash, however, if at the point she decides to sell the bonds they will have lost value, then she will have less than $5,000 depending on how much value was lost from the time she bought the bonds and the time she sold the bonds.
