Interest, in finance and economics, is payment from a borrower or deposit-taking financial institution to a lender or depositor of an amount above repayment of the principal sum (that is, the amount borrowed), at a particular rate. It is distinct from a fee which the borrower may pay the lender or some third party.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Loss to be recognized is $25000

Explanation:

Liquidation refers to a process whereby a company's operation come to an end, which leads to distribution of assets and liabilities to the claimants and winding up the business.

A company may be forced to liquidate owing to consistent losses. In such cases, the claims of all the stakeholders cannot be satisfied and they receive pro-rata basis allocation which covers everybody's claim to an extent, if not fully.

In the given case,

Robert's receipt is Land. Liabilities attached to the land being $325,000 while the land has fair market value of $400,000.

Thus, after assuming the liability, Robert's actual realized amount is,

$400,000 - $325,000 = $75,000

Since, the land was received in consideration for discharge of Robert's own share in company amounting to $100,000.

Thus, Gain/Loss to be recognized by Robert = $75, 000 (receipts) - $100,000

= - $25,000

i.e Robert should recognize a loss of $25,000.

This is the remainder of the question:

How much does this economic activity contribute to GDP, NNP, National income, compensation of employees, Proprietors' Income, corporate profits, personal income, disposable personal income?

a. GDP – $1,000,000

The GDP is the value for the goods and services that a country sells. To loan customers lawns, Tina collects $1,000,000.

b. NNP – $875,000

NNP = GDP - Depreciation

= $1000000 - $125000

= $875000

c. National income – $875,000

d. Compensation of employees- $600,000

This is the amount paid by the company to its workers for work done as wages and salaries.

e. Proprietors’ income – $0

Because it is a Corporation, this will be $0.

f. Corporate profits – $275,000

This will be:

= $50,000 + $150,000 + $75000

= $275000

g. Personal income – $750,000

= NNP + Dividend - Profit

= $875000 + $150000 - $275000

= $750000

h. Disposable personal income – $550000

= $750000 - $60000 - $140000

= $550000

Answer:

The correct answer is inject cash into it.

Explanation:

Every day, central banks lend money to private banks through auctions. The extraordinary thing about these new liquidity injections starring the European Central Bank or the US Federal Reserve is not so much the operation itself, as the situation in which they occur.

In this case, problems arise when, due to distrust, banks do not lend money to each other, operations that are common when the system is working properly.

With extraordinary placements, the central entities replace that lack of funds that private banks have not been able to obtain from their partners and, at the same time, at a cheaper price - at a lower interest rate.
