sweet [91]

Answer and Explanation:

1. For computation of the non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 is shown below:-

Adjusted profit = Profit tax after the year - Unrealized gain in stock - Gain on machinery

= $200,000 - $10,500 - $10,500

= $179,000

Non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 = Share capital + Retained earning + General reserve + Profit of the year June 2019

= ($800,000 × 20%) + ($200,000 × 20%) + ($400,000 × 20%) + ($179,000 × 20%)

= $160,000 + $40,000 + $80,000 + $35,800

= $315,800

2. The Journal entries are shown below:-

a. Profit for the year Dr, $21,000

The Rule of 70 applies in any growth rate application. Let’s say you have $1000 in savings and you have three alternatives for i

AlekseyPX

Answer:

a. 7,000 years

b. 2,333 years

c. 875 years

Explanation:

Based on rule of 70, we can have the following formula to do the calculation:

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ Interest rate per year .................... (1)

We can now calculate as follows:

a. A savings account earning 1% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 1% = 7,000 years

b. A U.S. Treasury bond mutual fund earning 3% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 3% = 2,333 years

c. A stock market mutual fund earning 8% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 8% = 875 years

Note:

It can be observed that the higher the interest rate, the lower the number of years it will take the investment to double.
