Answer:

$2,118.64 and 4.24%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Data given in the question

Earning in 2015 = $50,000

CPI in 2015 = 236

CPI in 2016 = 246

So, the earning in 2016 is

= Earning in 2015 × CPI 2016 ÷ CPI 2015

= $50,000 × 246 ÷ 236

= $52,118.64

So, the raise amount is

= $52,118.64 - $50,000

= $2,118.64

And, the percentage is

= $2,118.64 ÷ $50,000 × 100

= 4.24%

zalisa [80]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a) Growth rate = ROE × retention ratio

= 23% × (1 - .40)

= 13.80%

Value of stock = D1 ÷ (k - g)

= 0.84 × (1 + .1380) ÷ (.16 - .1380)

= $43.45

b) Revised growth rate after year 2 = 16% × .50

= 8%

Value at T2 = D3 ÷ (k - g)

D3 = Earnings × (1 + G1)^2 × (1 + G2) × Payout ratio

= 2.1 × (1+.1380)^2 × (1+.08) × .50

= 1.47

Value at T2 = 1.47 ÷ (.16 - .08)

= $18.38

Value at T0 = Value at T2 ÷ (1 + r)^n

= 18.38 ÷ (1 + .16)^2

= 13.66

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$30,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Equipment Cost = $175,000

Allowed depreciation = $55,000

Selling price of Equipment = $150,000

Total Value of Assets:

= Equipment Cost - Allowed depreciation

= $175,000 - $55,000

= $120,000

Income from sell of Equipment:

= Selling price of Equipment - Total Value of Assets

= $150,000 - $120,000

= $30,000

So, According to Section 1245 generate ordinary income of $30,000.

Transfer payments are not included in the government term in the national income identity. Imports are subtracted in the national income identity because imported items are already measured as a part of consumption, investment and government expenditures, and as a component of exports.
