Answer:

B. giving loans

Explanation:

The reserve requirement system requires commercial banks to maintain a small fraction of their deposits as a reserve. Only a small percentage of the checkable deposits is required to be held in the banks as reserves. The reserves requirement fractions vary with the monetary policy in place.

The percentage of reserve requirement ranges from 3% to 10%. It would hardly get to 20%. The rest other bigger percentage ( over 80%) is available to be used to create loans.

A capital budgeting project is expected to have the following cash flows: Year Cash Flows 0 -$850,000 1 $300,000 2 $400,000 3 $5

diamong [38]

The capital budgeting project's net present value at an 18% required rate of return is <u>($4,200).</u>

<h3>What is the net present value?</h3>

The net present value represents the net discounted value of cash inflows after subtracting the present value of cash outflows.

The net present value can be determined by determining the present values of cash inflows and outflows and netting the two values.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Required rate of return = 18%

Project period = 3 years

Year Cash Flows PV Factor Present Value

0 -$850,000 1 -$850,000 ($850,000 x 1)

1 $300,000 0.847 $254,100 ($300,000 x 0.847)

2 $400,000 0.718 $287,200 ($400,000 x 0.718)

3 $500,000 0.609 $304,500 ($500,000 x 0.609)

Net present value ($4,200)

Thus, the capital budgeting project's net present value at an 18% required rate of return is <u>($4,200)</u>.

A 5-year corporate bond yields 9.70%. A 5-year municipal bond of equal risk yields 6.5%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

c. 32.99%

Explanation:

Risk yield = bond yield*(1 - Federal tax rate)

6.50% = 9.70%*(1 - Federal tax rate)

1 - Federal tax rate = 6.50%/9.70%

Federal tax rate = 1 - 6.50%/9.70%

= 32.99%

Therefore, The federal tax rate that you are indifferent between the two bonds is 32.99%

A commercial building with a market value of $200,000 has an insurance policy with an 80 percent coinsurance clause. The owner c

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$45,000

Explanation:

In this case the market value is $200,000 but the policy limit is only $120,000, with a coinsurance of 80%.

Since the amount of loss = $60,000, the insurance company will pay:

(stop limit / value) x loss = ($120,000 / $160,000*) x $60,000 = 0.75 x $60,000 = $45,000

*the $160,000 value is determined by multiplying the fair market value of the property times the coinsurance = $200,000 x 80% = $160,000

Q 9.26: Crawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2018. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Crawford Trucking

Calculation of book value for disposal of two vehicles:

a) The Truck sold on January 2 would not have depreciation expenses computed for it. The book value on January 1 would be the same on January 2. It is not practical to compute depreciation expense for 1 day.

b) The Truck sold on July 9 would have depreciation computed for the year 2018 pro rated for six months. The book value would be less than the Truck sold on January 2.

Explanation:

Depreciation expense may be pro rated depending on the prevailing circumstances. This becomes necessary because the sold unit may not be fully utilized for the period under review. Under the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, it is imperative to match revenue to the period they were incurred.

Restaurant A uses 60 bags of tomatoes each month. The tomatoes are purchased from a supplier for a price of $80 per bag and an o

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 60 bags

cost = 80 / bag

s = 20 / order

h = 40% of cost

0.4 * 80 / 100

h= 32 unit/year

D = d * 12 months

D = 60 * 12

D = 720 bags / year

EOQ = $\sqrt{2DS/H}$

EOQ = $\sqrt{2 *720*20/32}$

EOQ = 30 bags

Total cost = Total holding cost + total ordering cost

Total holding cost = (Q/2 * H) = (30/2 * 32) = 480

Total ordering cost = (D/Q * 20) = (720/30 *20) = 480

Total cost = 480 + 480 = 960

Total purchasing cost = cost * D = 80 * 720 = 57.600

Percentage= total cost / total purchasing cost * 100

960 / 57.600 * 100

1.67 %
