Answer:

If investors believed that capital taxes would remain low, the government's action would lead to an increased level of investment.

After investors have responded to the announced tax reduction, the government have an incentive to renege on its policy. True

Given your answer to the preceding part, investors would not believe the government's announcement. True

Explanation:

It has been established that there are about six months lags between when government's monetary and fiscal policies change and when they are reflected in the marketplace.  This is why some have argued that rules should govern government monetary and fiscal policies instead of allowing discretion to be used.  With rules, reneging on policies become more difficult as the government can be challenged for breaking its own rules.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Green's distribution of $50,000 in to its sole shareholder at the end of the year should be treated as a dividend because Green's total earnings and profits for the year were $100,000.

A distribution from a corporation to a shareholder  can only be treated as a dividend when the corporation made a profit during the current year, or has positive accumulated earnings and profits.

A bond with 15 detachable warrants has just been offered for sale at $1,000.00 . The bond matures in 25 years and pays a semi-an
ad-work [718]

Answer:

$15.64

Explanation:

first we must determine the market value of the bond without the warrants:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.5%)⁵⁰ = $179.05

PV of coupon payments = $25 x 23.45562 (PV annuity factor, 3.5%, 50 periods) = $586.39

market value = $765.44

the market value of the 15 warrants = $1,000 - $765.44 = $234.56

market value per warrant = $234.56 / 15 = $15.64

mezya [45]

Answer:

there are no requirements, but I assume that they ask about issuance costs and their amortization:

market price of the bonds:

PV of face value = $5,000,000 / (1 + 10%)²⁰ = $743,218

PV of coupon payments = $400,000 x 8.5136 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 20 periods) = $3,405,440

market price = $4,148,658

Journal entry to record issuance and bond issue costs

Dr Cash 4,088,658

Dr Discount on bonds payable 851,342

Dr Bond issue costs 60,000

    Cr Bonds payable 5,000,000

amortization of bond discount and issue costs = ($4,088,658 x 10%) - $400,000 = $8,865.80 ≈ $8,866

allocation to bond issue costs = ($60,000 / $911,342) x $8,866 = $583.71  ≈ $584

allocation to bond discount = $8,866 - $584 = $8,282

A bank will often hold government securities as an asset. If a bank were to sell S500,000 in government securities to an individ
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:a.

It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

Explanation:

A bank will often hold government securities as an asset. If a bank were to sell S500,000 in government securities to an individual who paid for the bond in cash and the bank placed this cash in its vault, by how much would the money supply change as a result  -  It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

The money supply is the entire stock of currency and other liquid instruments circulating in a country's economy and is given by the formula:

MONEY SUPPLY = RESERVES X MONEY MULTIPLIER

Therefore the bank reserves increasing in the scenario will increase money supplier by the effect of the money multiplier or the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.
