Answer:
(European) goldsmiths
Explanation:
European goldsmiths (Italian goldsmiths were the first) formulated a principle that only 5% of deposits were needed in reserve at any particular time, therefore they could lend 95% of the gold they held in deposit.
Goldsmiths would rent space in their vaults that allowed other people to keep their gold in a safe place. That led to transactions were notes indicating the amount of gold deposited would be traded instead of trading gold itself.
Eventually goldsmiths discovered that they could trade (lend) more money than the amount of gold they held in deposits, inventing fractional reserve banking.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
annual demand = 7800 units
wholesale price = $325
retail price = 399
The per-unit cost for each item = $399 per unit
The annual cost to purchase the items = Annual demand × wholesale price
= annual demand × price of the wholesales
= 7800 × 325
= $2535000
Answer:
d.$7,091 increase
Explanation:
From the accounting equation, assets = liabilities + equity. If the total liabilities decrease by $27,275, the assets will also decrease by $27,275. Similarly, when stockholders' equity increased by $34,366, the amount of assets will increase by the same amount. The net increase in assets will be $7,091, which is the difference between the increase in stockholders' equity and the decrease in liabilities ($34,366 - $27,275).
Answer:
rounding to two decimal places: 11.11%
Explanation:
we can se the approximate formula for YTM
C= 57.5 (1,000 x 11.5%/2)
Face value = 1000
P= 1050 (market value)
n= 24 (12 years x 2 payment per year)
semiannual YTM = 5.4065041%
This is a semiannual rate as we consider semiannula payment.
We need to convert into annual rate:
YTM 11.1053109921343000%
rounding to two decimal places: 11.11%
