Answer:

B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United​ States, because household​ production, the underground​ economy, leisure​ hours, and the environment are similar in each pair

Explanation:

The standard of living can be easily compared​ ______.     A. between China and Canada because they have a similar land size   B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United​ States, because household​ production, the underground​ economy, leisure​ hours, and the environment are similar in each pair   C. among none of the four countries because they are too different   D. between Russia and the United States because they are both super powers   E. among all four countries because real GDP per person includes a reliable measure of​ income, household​ production, the underground​ economy, leisure​ hours, and the environment

Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living

Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population  

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.

some items are not perfectly measured by GDP. They include

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

Because GDP does not measure underground economy (illegal activities) , leisure , it would be difficult to compare either pair of countries

Suppose you owned a portfolio consisting of $250,000 of long-term U.S. government bonds. Would your portfolio be riskless? Expla
hammer [34]

Answer and Explanation:

An investment when it would be risk free in that case both the principal and the interest amount are to be paid within the prescribed time. Also when the U.S government bonds i.e. long term would be issued by the government have a lesser interest rate as compared with the other riskier securities available at the market place this is because as the government would default next to zero in case of the short term it would make the default when there are extreme situations arise.

Therefore in the short term it would be risk free

But in the long run, the person is based on the treasury bills returns so that he or she could equate the similar standard of living also it would not suffice when the inflation rises

Therefore the less risky investment would be of Government bonds

The firm’s operating cycle is equivalent to the sum of the total number of days of a cycle of the receivables turnover and the inventory turnover.

Receivables turnover = 365 days / 14.8 = 24.66 days

Inventory turnover = 365 days / 22.6 = 16.15 days

Operating cycle = 24.66 days + 16.15 days = 40.81 days

Here I Sit Sofas has 7,100 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $94 per share. There are 600 bonds that mature in 30
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Weight of debt = 57.83 %

Explanation:

given data

number of shares =  7,100

price = $94 per share

number of bonds = 600

mature time = 30 year s

coupon rate = 6.8 percent

bonds par value = $2,000

sell = 108.5 percent

stock outstanding = 6,000 shares

stock outstanding price = $47 per share

to find out

capital structure weight of the debt

solution

first we get here Equity market value that is express as

Equity market value = number of shares × price per share

Equity market value = 7100 × $94

Equity market value = $667,400

and  

current debt value will be here as

current debt value = number of bonds × price per bond

current debt value = 600 × (1.085 × 2000)

current debt value = $1,302,000

and now Preferred stock value will be

Preferred stock value = stock outstanding × stock outstanding price

Preferred stock value = 6,000  × $47

Preferred stock value = $282000

and total capital will be as  

Total capital = Equity market value + current debt value + preferred stock value ..................1

put here value

Total capital =  $667,400 +  $1,302,000 + $282000

total capital = $2251400

so here Weight of debt will be

Weight of debt = debt value ÷ total capital ..............2

Weight of debt = \frac{1,302,000}{2251400}

Weight of debt = 0.578306

Weight of debt = 57.83 %

Coccia Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 8 percent coupon
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

7.28%

Explanation:

For this question we use the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment below:

Provided that

Present value = $1,075

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40

NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the coupon rate is

= 3.64% × 2

= 7.28%

klio [65]

Answer:

A. $6,000

B. $13,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution

Basis in KST$ 15,000

Add §737 gain $3,000

($15,000-$12,000)

Deduct Carryover basis in land ($12,000)

Remaining basis in KST $6,000

($15,000+$3,000-$12,000).

Therefore Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution will be $6,000

B. Calculation to determine KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution

KST basis upon contribution $10,000

Add Kimberly’s §737 gain $3,000

($15,000-$12,000)

KST’s basis in land $13,000

($10,000+$3,000)

Therefore KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution is $13,000
