Answer:

Between 7.8 and 12 Years

Explanation:

The modified duration of a portfolio is defined as a weighted average in the modified duration of an individual bonds. Therefore it will lie between the extreme values of the modified duration of the bonds in portfolio so that the weights are all positive.

In the context, the modified duration lies between 7.8 years and 12 years as the modified duration would always lie between the lowest modified duration and the highest modified duration of any bonds in a portfolio. Therefore the weights are value that will lie between these two years.

<u>If sold at 25,000 dollars </u>

loss at disposal                    15,000 credit

   office equipment                170,000 credit

Explanation:

depreciation expense using straight line method

(cost - salvage value) / useful life = depreciation expense

(170,000 - 10,000) / 8 = 20,000

half year depreciation: 20,000 x 1/2 = 10,000

book value:

170,000 - 6.5 year of depreciation

170,000 x 6.5 x 20,000 = 40,000

sales price: 60,000

gain = 20,000

if sold at 25,000 then:

25,000 - 40,000 0 -15,000 there will be a loss at disposal

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The reason the government is often more responsive to producer interests than to consumer interests when it comes to the imposition of tariffs and quotas is:

it wants to ensure that producers are protected from foreign competition.

Explanation:

Producers face foreign competitive threats.  Consumers do not face such competition.  Therefore, the government will often consider the producers' interests more than the consumers' interests when imposing trade tariffs and quotas.  If local industries are not protected from their foreign competitors, the unemployment rate will increase and the economy will be flooded with cheap and low quality goods from other countries.  In that way, the US will be subsidizing the foreign producers indirectly.

Answer:

Total equivalent units of materials  = 64,652

Explanation:

<em>Equivalent units are useful to apportion cost between work in progress and completed units. They are notional whole units which represent incomplete work</em>

Equivalent Units = Degree of work completed (%) × inventory units

Fully worked = 64,880- 3,840= 61,040

I<em>tems                        units         workings              Equivalent units</em>

Opening inventory   3,840         3840× 70% =    2,688

Fully worked             61,040       61,040× 100 =    61,040

Closing WIP               5,160           5,160× 70% =   <u>3,612</u>

Total equivalent units of materials                     <u>   64,652</u>

Total equivalent units of materials  =64,652
