Answer:

The company's current ratio is 1.25.

Explanation:

The current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities:

current assets=$50000

current liabilities=$40000

current ratio=$50000/$40000

current ratio=1.25

According to this, the answer is that the company's current ratio is 1.25.

Which of the following is a correct description of the crowding-out effect of deficit spending?

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

the options are missing, so I looked for them:

a. The buying of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

c. The selling of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

d. The buying of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

the answer is:

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

Explanation:

The crowding out effect happens when the government increases its spending level in order to engage in an expansionary fiscal policy but someone needs to pay for this extra spending. In order for the government to finance their spending, they have to choose to either increase taxes or issue more debt. When they issue more debt, they end up decreasing private investment since money that could be used by private companies is used by the government instead.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

First option will be recommended.

Explanation:

To determine which option to be taken, we calculate the net present value each option generates. The option generating higher NPV should be recommended.

- Net present value of first option = Lump sum receipt = $150,000.

- Net present value of second option will be found by discounting cash flows at investing rate 12% and calculated as followed:

+ Present value of 20 equal annual payment of $14,000 + Present value of $60,000 paid in 20 years = (14,000/12%) x [ 1 - 1.12^(-20)] + 60,000/1.12^20 = $110,792.

As net present value of the first option is higher than the second option, first option will be recommended.
