A collective good offers particularized benefits while private goods are broadly distributed. True False

Suppose that the pound is pegged to gold at 6 pounds per ounce, whereas the franc is pegged to gold at 12 francs per ounce. This

zmey [24]

Answer:

we can look at this problem from 2 different point of views:

if you have francs and wish to buy pounds: then you take 12 francs and purchase 1 ounce of gold, and then you sell it for 6 pounds. This way you will only spend 2 francs per each pound instead of 2.2.

if you have pounds and want to make a gain: you take 6 pounds and purchase 13.2 francs and you then buy 1.1 ounces of gold. Then you sell the 1.1 ounces of gold in exchange for 6.6 pounds.

Any of the scenarios does not include any transaction prices nor shipping costs, it is only theoretical.

How many years are required for an investment to double in value if it is appreciating at the rate of 9% compounded continuous

Vesna [10]

Answer:

time required is 7.70 years

Explanation:

given data

interest rate = 9%

solution

we know with the compounded continuously rate r and time t amount is

A(t) = A(o) $e^{rt}$ .................1

and we have given amount is double so

A(t) = 2 A(o)

so from equation 1 put the value and we get here

2 A(o) = A(o) $e^{rt}$

ln(2) = 0.09 t

solve it we get time

time t = 7.70 years

so time required is 7.70 years

An invention that raises the future marginal product of capital in a closed economy) would cause an increase in desired investme

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A) right; increase

Explanation:

In the case of the closed economy when the marginal product of capital increased so it also increased the investment due to which the shifting of the investment curve is rightward and this will result in increase in the real interest rate

So as per the given situation, the option a is correct

On July1, 2018, Morrow Inc. purchased a spooler at a cost of $40,000. The equipment is expected to last five years and have a re

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

(1) the double-declining-balance method

Depreciation for 2018 = $16,000

Depreciation for 2019 = $9,600

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 = $24,000

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2019 = $14,400

(2) the sum-of-year digits

Depreciation for 2018 = $12,000

Depreciation for 2019 = $9,600

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 = $28,000

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2019 = $18,400

Explanation:

(1) the double-declining-balance method

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the computation of depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 and 2019 using the double-declining-balance method.

Double-declining-balance method can be described as a depreciation technique in which the rate at which an asset is depreciated is twice depreciation rate for the straight line depreciation method.

The double-declining-balance depreciation rate for Morrow Inc. can therefore be calculated as follows:

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of expected useful years = 1 / 5 = 0.20, or 20%

Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 20% * 2 = 40%

The 40% double-declining depreciation rate is what is employed in part 1 of the attached excel file table.

Note:

Although this is not part of the question but it will be useful for you in the future. The depreciation expenses for year 2022 is calculated by deducting the residual value of $4,000 from the 2022 Beginning depreciable amount (i.e. $5,184 - $4,000 = $1,184). The residual value of $4,000 therefore represents the book value at the end of year 2022.

(2) the sum-of-year digits

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the computation of depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 and 2019 using the sum-of-year digits method.

The sum-of-year digits method can be described as a depreciation method that accelerates deprecation by assuming that an asset’s productivity falls with the passage of time.

Under the sum-of-year digits method, the remaining useful life of the asset at the beginning of the period is divided by the sum of the year's digits to obtain the deprecation rate for that period.

For this question, the Sum of year digits used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:

SYD = Sum of year digits = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
