Answer:

b. 10.426%

Explanation:

Using the attached formula, convert the nominal rate to effective annual rate

<em>m</em> in the formula is the number of compounding periods per year; 12/2 = 6 in this case.

APR is the nominal rate which is 10%.

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula as shown below;

EAR = [1+\frac{0.10}{6}]^{6} -1

EAR = 1.10426-1

EAR = 0.10426 or 10.426% as a percentage

Hence choice B is correct.

Vladimir [108]
Given:
standard hours: 2,500 dl for 1,000 units
actual hours: 2,400 dl for 900 units

Borasco Corp. owns land with a fair market value of $200,000. Borasco purchased the land 10 years ago for $65,000 and owes a lia
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: B. $65,000

Explanation:

The options to the question are:

A. $15,000

B. $65,000

C. $150,000

D. $200,000

It should be noted that the corporate liquidations of property are typically treated as either an exchange or a sale and the profit or the loss made will be recognized by the corporation usually based on the liquidating sale of the assets of the corporation.

In certain cases whereby the distributee that is, the individual who is entitled to partake in the share of an estate distribution is a corporation that is in charge of the distributing corporation, this may lead to the distribution not to be taxable.

Due to this, Alvo has a basis of $65,000. The reason is that the land was not sold and therefore Alvo did not get $200,000.

Josefina is the only seller of sopapillas in town. Last week, she sold 200 sopapillas, and the marginal revenue of the 200th sop
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Josefina is not maximizing her profits since she is making a loss of $0.25.

Explanation:

The marginal revenue is the total amount of revenue received from selling an additional unit of product while the marginal cost is the total cost incurred for producing an additional unit of product. The marginal cost and revenue can be compared to determine if producing and selling an additional unit is profitable or will cause a loss.

The profit/loss can be expressed as;

P/L=R-C

where;

P=profit

L=loss

R=total marginal revenue

C=total marginal cost

In our case;

P/L=unknown

R=marginal revenue per unit×number of units=1.50×1=$1.50

C=marginal cost per unit×number of units=$1.75×1=$1.75

replacing;

P/L=1.50-1.75=-$0.25

Since the marginal cost is greater than the marginal revenue, we can conclude that Josefina is making a loss of $0.25

When originally purchased, a truck costing BD 23.000 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of B
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

d. BD 2,500

Explanation:

Accumulated Depreciation through the end of year 4 = [ Asset's cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated Useful Life] * Years Elapsed

= [(23,000 - 3,000)/8] * 4

= BD 10,000

Depreciation in Year 3 = [Asset's cost - Salvage Value - Accumulated Depreciation] / Remaining Estimated Useful Life

Depreciation in Year 3 = [23,000 - 3,000 - 10,000] / 4

Depreciation in Year 3 = 10,000 / 4

Depreciation in Year 3 = BD 2,500
