Answer:

Government regulation is the best way to deal with negative externalities

Explanation:

An externality is the effect of the activities ( mostly economic ) of an individual on third parties whom are not direct participants in such activities ( mostly economic ) and this externalities can be either positive or negative .

Neko [114]

Answer:

a.

July 1, Year 1

Prepaid Insurance                  $15000 Dr

     Cash                                       $15000 Cr

Dec 31, Year 1

Insurance expense                    $2500 Dr

    Prepaid Insurance                     $2500 Cr

b.

July 1, Year 1

Cash                                                  $15000 Dr

    Unearned Service revenue             $15000 Cr

Dec 31, Year 1

Unearned service revenue        $2500 Dr

    Service revenue                           $2500 Cr

Explanation:

a.

The company will record the cash going out of the business for prepaid insurance as credit and the asset account prepaid insurance as debit to record the prepayment of insurance for 3 years at the amount of $15000.

The insurance paid out is for 3 years. So, the per year insurance expense is,

Insurance expense per year = $15000 / 3 = $5000

The adjusting entry made on 31 december will record the insurance months consumed (6 months) as an expense and debit the insurance expense and credit the prepaid insurance asset account.

The insurance expense for 6 months = 5000 * 6/12 = $2500

b.

For the receiving company, the cash is being received and as the service will be provided later on, the cash received will be debited and the unearned service revenue will be credited.

As six months worth of cover has passed, on 31 December, the company will record service revenue for 6 months that is $2500 and debit the liability recorded under unearned service revenue.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

the portfolio´s beta is 1.65

Explanation:

when the individual calculation of beta has been given, is possible to aggregate them as a weigthed average, so it is possible to apply te next formula

Beta Portfolio=w_{1} *\beta _{1}+ w_{2} *\beta _{2} + .... + w_{n} *\beta _{n}

where w is the weigthed value for each asset, in this particular case we have:

Beta Portfolio = \frac{50.000}{100.000}*1.50 +\frac{50.000}{100.000}*1.70

so with this result we get 1.65

What criteria do accountants use to decide whether to use present or future values in accounting statements?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Present value is nothing but how much future sum of money worth today. It is one of the important concepts in finance and it is a basis for stock pricing, bond pricing, financial modeling, banking, and insurance, etc. Present value provides us with an estimated amount to be spent today to have an investment worth a certain amount of money at a specific point in the future. Present value is also called a discounted value. It is an indicator for investors that whatever money he will receive today can earn a return in the future. With the help of present value, method investors calculate the present value of a firm’s expected cash flow to decide if a stock is worth to invest today or not.

The formula for calculating PV is shown below

PV = CF/ (1+r)n

Here ‘CF’ is future cash flow, ‘r’ is a discounted rate of return and ‘n’ is the number of periods or year.

Example

Let’s say that you have been promised by someone that he will give you 10,000.00 Rs 5 year from today and interest rate is 8% so no we want to know what the present value of 10,000.00 Rs which you will receive in future so,

PV = 10,000/ (1+0.08)5

PV = 6805.83 (To the nearest Decimal)

So present-day value of Rs 10,000.00 is Rs 6805.83
