According to liquidity preference theory, if there were a surplus of money, then A. the interest rate would be above equilibrium
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Choice A would be the right response to either the following statement.

Explanation:

  • This theory seems to be a hypothesis that implies that shareholders will seek a higher rate of return as well as premiums on high-term securities with significantly increased risk maturity since, if all other considerations are similar, investors choose cash and perhaps other extremely liquid assets.
  • Even if there is an excess of capital, the inflation rate would have been over stability, as well as the amount of money needed would have been too increasing for stability.

The other choices are not relevant to the situation in question. So choice A is the right one.

A small delivery truck was purchased on January 1 at a cost of $25,000. It has an estimated useful life of four years and an est
Blababa [14]

Answer:

depreciation expense        accumulated deprecation      book value

$5,000                                   $5,000                                        $20,000

$5,000                                     $10,000                                      $15,000

$5,000                                     $15,000                                      $10,000

$5,000                                     $20,000                                      $ 5000

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($25,000 - $5000) / 4 = $5,000

Book value in year in subsequent years = previous book value - that year's depreciation expense

Year 1's book value = $25,000 - $5000 = $20,000

Year 2's book value =  $20,000 - $5000 = $15,000

Year 1's book value = $15,000 - $5000 = 10,000

Year 1's book value = $10,000 -  $5,000 = $5,000

Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense

Year 1 = 5,000

year 2 = 5000 x 2 = 10,000

year 3 = 5000 x 3 = 15,000

year 4 = 5000 x 4 = 20,000

Red Carpet Inc. is a small apparel store started by an aspiring designer. The store needs to compete against larger, well-establ
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The answer is: Red Carpet should try to focus on niche market segments.

Explanation:

A niche market is part of a greater market, but its focus is set on very specific products. The niche market has very specific market needs that need to be targeted by very specific products.

Usually niche markets are targeted by high priced products since normal broad range products or services will not satisfy their specific needs. For example, vegan restaurants are more expensive than McDonald's or Pizza Hut.

Since niche markets are small, usually big multinational corporations don't pay attention to them.
