Answer:

$28,065

Explanation:

The moving averages method uses the means of the previous months as the forecast for the next months.

The formula for the moving average is as below.

Moving Average = (n1 + n2 + n3 + ...) / n

In this case, the Moving average = $26,908 +$28,386 +$28,730, $27,290+  $29,009 / 5

= $140,323 /5

=$28,064.6

=$28,065

Treasury bills are currently paying 7 percent and the inflation rate is 3.2 percent. a. What is the approximate real rate of int
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The real risk free rate is 3.8%

The exact risk-free rate is 3.68%

Explanation:

The interest rate on the Treasury bills is usually a combination of real risk free rate and inflation rate to compensate investors for average inflation in the economy during the instrument lifetime which equals nominal risk-free rate.

nominal risk-free rate = real risk-free rate+inflation rate

nominal risk-free rate=7%

inflation rate=3.2%

real risk-free rate=7%-3.2%

real risk-free rate=3.8%

The exact real risk-free rate can be computed thus:

nominal rate+1=(real risk-free rate+1)*(inflation rate+1)

real risk-free rate=(nominal rate+1)/(inflation rate+1)-1

real risk free rate=(1.07/1.032)-1

real risk-free rate=0.036821705

real risk-free rate=3.68%

Mercury Inc. purchased equipment in 2019 at a cost of $400,000. The equipment was expected to produce 700,000 units over the nex
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

We know,

Annual depreciation rate under Units-of-production = Depreciable amount/Overall (expected) production

Given,

Purchase value = $400,000

Residual value = $50,000

Expected production = 700,000 units

Depreciable Amount = $(400,000 - 50,000) = $350,000

Annual depreciation rate = $350,000/700,000

Depreciation rate = $0.50

Thrrefore, Accumulated depreciation from 2019 to 2021 = (100,000 + 160,000 + 80,000)*$0.50

= $170,000

We know, Book value of asset = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation

Book value = $400,000 - $170,000 = $230,000

Again, Loss on sale of equipment = Book value - Sales price

Loss on sale of equipment = $230,000 - $210,000

Loss on sale of equipment = $20,000

The journal entry to record the sale =

Debit Cash $210,000

Debit Accumulated Depreciation $170,000

Debit Loss on sale $20,000

Credit Equipment $400,000

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

Infant-industry argument says that a particular industry can't compete with other international competitors because of the economies of scale. So, they demand a temporary protection until they gain economies of scale to be ready to compete on a level playing field.

Note: This can also come in the category of 'unfair competition' argument as huge economies of scales of well established companies create an unfair environment for nascent industries to compete on a same level.
