Over the last several decades, the United States has usually had a trade deficit.

When the U.S. 2008 recession began, the trade deficit increased.

When net exports increase, GDP increases.

Trade deficit is when the import of an economy is greater than the export of the economy. Import are goods that are bought from foreign countries. Export are goods that are sold to foreign countries. As at August 2021, trade deficit in the United States was  $73.3 billion. This is higher than the forecasted amount of $70.5 billion.

During the 2008 recession, trade deficit increased by 3% to $920.7 billion.  One of the reasons for this was the increase in the price of crude oil which is a major consistent of import of the United States.

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach is : consumption + government spending + business spending + net export.

Net export = export - import.

If net export increases, GDP increases.

A stock has had the following year-end prices and dividends:Year Price Dividend1 $ 64.73 â 2 71.60 $ .68 3 77.40 .73 4 63.67 .79
balandron [24]

Answer:

Arithmetic average return = 7.23%

Geometric average return=6.44%

Explanation:

Calculation for the Arithmetic average return

First step is to calculate the return for each year

Using this formula

Return=(Current year price amount-Previous price amount + Current year dividend)/ Previous year price amount ×100

Let plug in the formula

Year 1 Return= ($71.60-$64.73 + $.68) / $64.73

Year 1 Return=$7.55/$64.73

Year 1 Return= 11.66%

Year 2 Return= ($77.40-$71.60 + $.73) / $71.60

Year 2 Return=$6.53=$71.60

Year 2 Return = 9.12%

Year 3 Return= ($63.67-$77.40 +$ .79) / $77.40 Year 3 Return=$-12.94/$77.40

Year 3 Return=-16.72%

Year 4 Return= ($73.91-$63.67 +$ .88) / $63.67

Year 4 Return=$11.12/$63.67

Year 4 Return = 17.47%

Year 5 Return= ($83.75-$73.91 + $.95) / $73.91 Year 5 Return=$10.79/$73.91

Year 5 Return= 14.60%

The second step is to calculate the arithmetic average return

Using the formula

Arithmetic average return = (Addition of the each year return percentage /Numbers of years)

Let plug in the formula

Arithmetic average return (.1166 + .0912-.1672 + .1747 + .1460) / 5

Arithmetic average return =0.3613/5

Arithmetic average return = .0723 ×100

Arithmetic average return = 7.23%

Calculation for the geometric average return

Using this formula

Geometric average return=(1+Each year return percentage)^1/Numbers of years-1)

Let plug in the formula

Geometric average return== [(1 + .1166)×(1 + .0912)×(1-.1672)×(1 + .1747)×(1 + .1460)]^1/5-1

Geometric average return=[(1.1166)×(1.0912)(0.8328)×(1.1747)×(1.146)]^1/5-1

Geometric average return=(1.366011)^1/5-1

Geometric average return=1.0644

Geometric average return=1.0644-1

Geometric average return=0.0644

Geometric average return=0.0644 ×100

Geometric average return=6.44%

Therefore the Arithmetic average return is 7.23% while Geometric average return is 6.44%.

Riley Company promises to pay Janet Anderson or her estate $150,000 per year for the next 10 years, even if she leaves the compa
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The Answer is explanatory so it is given as under:

Explanation:

<u>Part 1. At the start of the year:</u>

The part of the salary includes $150,000 per year for the next 10 years and this must be recorded as an deferred compensation liability. All we have to do is to calculate the present value of the annual salary payments.

Present Value = Annual Payment * Annuity factor

And for Annuity factor we will use 5% rate of interest.

So

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1-r)^n) / r

Here

r = 5%

n = 10 years

Which means

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 5%)^10)  / 5%   = 7.722

Hence

Present value = $150,000 * 7.722 = $1,158,260

So the journal entry would be as under:

Dr Deferred Compensation expense $1,158,260

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability $1,158,260

<u>Part 2. At the end of the Year 1:</u>

At the first year end, the annual payment of $1,158,260 will be discounted back by using the following formula:

Discounted Back Amount = Annual Amount * (1- (1+r)^n)

Remember for the first year n is 10, for second n is 9 and so on.

Discounted Back Amount = 150,000 x (1 - 0.614) = $57,913

Dr Deferred Compensation Expense   $57,913

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability        $57,913

Part 3. And when the first payment of the salary is made, the journal entry would be:

Dr Deferred compensation Liability $ 150,000

Cr                                       Cash Account    $150,000

Likewise we will till the year 10 and will record the part 2 and part 3 until at the end of the year 10, the whole of the deferred tax liability is reduced to zero.

The life insurance policy payments can not be offset against the deferred compensation liability because it will be accounted for as a different transaction and hence must not be treated as Riley desires.

So the Cash surrender value will be treated as an asset and annual increase in this asset would be treated as an income.

If a payback period for a project is greater than its expected useful life, the project's return will always exceed the company'
Rudiy27

Answer:

entire initial investment will not be recovered.

Explanation:

Payback period is one of the methods used in capital budgeting.

Payback period calculates how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from its cummulative cash flows.

For example, if a project costs $360 and the cash flow each year for its 6 years useful life is $120. The amount invested would be gotten back from the cummulative cash flow in 3 years.

But if a project costs $360 and the cash flow each year for its 2 years useful life is $120. The amount invested would never be gotten back the cummulative cash flow. Therefore, the entire investment amount will never be entirely recovered.

The project will always not be profitable

I hope my answer helps you.

While an attribute is an inherent quality or characteristic of a product or service, a(n) _____________ is a result or outcome a
o-na [289]

Answer:

benefit

Explanation:

The characteristics define what a product is for, the benefits define the difference that our product has versus the competitive product and the motivators define how the characteristics and benefits of these products will help each individual customer. To say that the product will help a specific and unique customer is to show the real motivator of the purchase, that is, that specific benefit that by itself will make the customer buy the product. It reaches the end that the customer buys products for different benefits for which the product has been created. For example, a chair is used to sit, but at the same time it can be purchased as a decoration item (chair in the middle of a hallway) or used as a staircase in the kitchen.
