Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The answer is c.

Dr Cash Additional 89,900 ;

Dr Paid-in capital Common Stock 11,600

Cr Treasury stock 101,500

Explanation:

We have the Treasury stock account has a Debit balance of 35 x 2,900 = $101,500 post resold. As the resold take place, this account should be cleared to 0. Thus, we credit this account by $101,500;

Cash receipt is 31 x 2,900 = $89,900. Thus, we debit Cash account by the same amount.

The difference 11,600 ( 101,500 - 89,900) will be debited into Paid-in capital common stock account; assuming that after the Debit entry is made, the account still have the Credit balance. Otherwise, the excessive Debit amount that made Paid-in capital account's balance less than 0 Credit will be Debit into Retained Earnings account.

"An investor buys $10,000 of a "regulated" mutual fund investing solely in municipal securities. Which statement is TRUE regardi
kogti [31]

Answer: D. The investor has no tax liability on distributions received, and the investment company has no tax liability on retained income

Explanation:

Municipal Securities are exempt of Federal taxes and this is what makes them most attractive. An investor in a mutual fund which invests solely in municipal securities will therefore not have any tax liability because their returns would be based on securities that are federally tax exempt. The same goes for any income the Mutual fund intends to retain.

C. If the marginal cost of a gallon of milk increases, how will the household respond?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

If the marginal cost of a gallon of milk increases, how will the household respond?

C. The household will continue to consume the same amount.

Explanation:

The increase in the marginal cost of a gallon of milk will not greatly alter the quantity of milk consumed by a typical household.  At this initial point when the marginal cost of a gallon of milk increases, the household is not affected because the seller has not shifted the cost to consumers.  Even when the marginal cost increase is shifted to the consumers, the quantity required by the household remains the same.  What may likely change at that stage is that the price at which the a household buys a gallon of milk increases marginally.  The marginal increase will not distort demand for milk but households can change brands and not the quantity of milk, or at worst, they pay a higher price for a gallon.
