Answer:
The Current account is for goods and services.
The Financial account is for exchange of currencies and financial assets across countries.
Miguel, a U.S. resident, buys an HDTV set for $2,500 and sends it to Mexico as a gift to his parents. DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT.
Miguel buys the good in the U.S. and then sends it so this falls under the current account alone.
Arielle, a French tourist, stays at a hotel in San Francisco and pays $400 for it with her debit card issued by a French bank. DEBIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT.
The Financial account should be debited to show that currency is coming into the U.S. from outside the country and current account should be credited for services rendered.
A U.S. computer manufacturer purchases hard drives from a Korean company, paying the funds from its bank account in Korea. DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT.
Current account should be debited to reflect that goods are coming into the country but the financial account should be credited to show that currency is leaving the ownership of an American entity so it is passing out of American hands.
At the beginning of the tax year, Barnaby's basis in the BBB Partnership was $50,000, including his $5,000 share of partnership debt. At the end of the tax year, his share of debt was $8,000. His share of the partnership's income for the year was $20,000, and he received cash distributions totaling $12,000. In addition, his share of the partnership's nontaxable income was $1,000.
Required:
Determine Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year.
Answer:
$62,000
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year
Using this formula
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership=[BBB Partnership basis+( Share of debt-Share of partnership debt)+ Share of Partnership's income +Share of partnership's nontaxable income-Cash distributions]
Let plug in the formula
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership =$50,000 + ($8,000-$5,000) + $20,000 + $1,000 - $12,000
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership =$50,000 + $3,000 + $20,000 + $1,000 - $12,000
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership = =$62,000
Therefore Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year will be $62,000

expansion of the money supply to
Answer:
$200 million
Explanation:
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited /required reserve requirement
Required reserve requirement is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
$40 million / 0.2 = $200 million
Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following
Machine A could be purchased for $69,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,200 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $7,245.
Machine B could be purchased for $57,500. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,800 in year three, $11,000 in year six, and $13,200 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?
Answer:
Esquire should purchase Machine B
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of the present values of Machine A & Machine B.
Machine A Period Amount Present Value Factor Present Value
Purchase Cost 0 ($69,000) 1 ($69,000)
Maintenance Cost 1 - 10 ($2,200) 6.71008 ($14,762)
Salvage Value 10 $7,245 0.46319 $3,356
Present Value of A ($80,406)
Machine B Period Amount Present Value Factor Present Value
Purchase Cost 0 ($57,500) 1 ($57,500)
Maintenance Cost
Year 3 3 ($8,800) 0.79383 ($6,986)
Year 6 6 ($11,000) 0.63017 ($6.932)
Year 8 8 ($13,200) 0.54027 ($7,132)
Present Value of B ($78,550)
Note the Following:
The Net Present Value of B is lower than the Value of Machine A. So, Machine B should be opted.For the Present Value Factor of Machine A's Maintenance Cost, the 10 year annuity value of 8% was calculated.Machine B has no salvage value after the 10th year period.Crane Company offered detachable 5-year warrants to buy one share of common stock (par value $5) at $20 (at a time when the stock was selling for $30). The price paid for 700, $1,000 bonds with the warrants attached was $810000. The market price of the Crane bonds without the warrants was $710000, and the market price of the warrants without the bonds was $71800. What amount should be allocated to the warrants
Answer:
$ 74,389.87
Explanation:
It is given that :
The cost of 700, $1000 bonds with warrant attached to the bond = $810,000
The cost of Crane bonds with warrant = $710,000
The cost of market price of the warrants without bonds = $71,800
Therefore, the amount should be allocated to the warrants :
[tex]$=\frac{\$71,800}{\$71,800+\$710,000}\times \$ 810,000$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{\$71,800}{\$781,800}\times \$ 810,000$[/tex]
= $ 74,389.87
Wright Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment, which would have an initial cost of $1,000,000 and a 5-year life. There is no salvage value for the equipment. The increase in cash flow each year of the equipment's life would be as follows: Year 1 $ 379,000 Year 2 $ 354,000 Year 3 $ 289,000 Year 4 $ 234,000 Year 5 $ 189,000 What is the payback period
Answer:
The payback period is 2 years and 337 days to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
Year 1 $ 379,000
Year 2 $ 354,000
Year 3 $ 289,000
Year 4 $ 234,000
Year 5 $ 189,000
Initial investment= $1,000,000
The payback period is the time required for the cash flows to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 379,000 - 1,000,000= -621,000
Year 2= 354,000 - 621,000= -267,000
Year 3= 289,000 - 267,000= 22,000
To be more accurate:
(267,000 / 289,000)= 0.923*365= 337
The payback period is 2 years and 337 days to cover the initial investment.

Ron was vacationing in France, when his camera was stolen. As he walked into a camera store, Ron noticed that camera prices were in euros. If Ron was willing to pay $ for a new digital camera and the exchange rate is $ per euro, how much will Ron be paying in euros? Ron will be paying nothing euros for the camera. (Instructions: Enter your response by rounding two places after the decimal.)
Answer:
130.43 euros
Explanation:
Since Ron willing to Pay is $150
Now we have to convert $150 in euros
As we know that
exchange rate × willing to pay in euro = Willing to pay in Dollar
i.e.
willing to pay in euro = Willing to pay in Dollar ÷ Exchange rate
= 150 ÷ 1.15
= 130.43 euros
Hence, the ron be paying in euros is 130.43
The same would be relevant
As the new profit center manager, you switch carriers to a more expensive, but quicker, more responsive transportation carrier. You justify this because when using a(n) ____________ perspective, your overall inventory and warehouse savings more than offset the increase in transportation costs. Group of answer choices lane operations economic order quantity total cost ABC
Answer:
You justify this because when using a(n) _____ABC_____ perspective, your overall inventory and warehouse savings more than offset the increase in transportation costs.
Explanation:
The ABC perspective allocates overhead costs based on the cost drivers and the level of activity consumed by each cost driver. This is the best cost allocation basis. ABC is justified by the fact that activities consume resources or cause costs to be incurred. As a profit center manager, your focus should be on minimizing the activities that drive up costs instead of just focusing on mere cost reduction without paying attention to the cost drivers.
what is an example of a one-to-many relationship
Answer:
Owners-Pets.
Explanation:
The one-to-many relationship in database is when each record in Table A have several linked record in Table B. But in Table B, it has only one link in Table A.
An example of a one-to-many relationships is owners-pets relationship. In such databases, pet will have one owner but one owner may have many pets.
Therefore, owners-pets is an example of one-to-many relationship.
Larry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $320 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 14 cents per mile. Larry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 1,400 miles per month. Required: a. How much cost would Larry expect to incur during April if he drove the car 1,529 miles
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The question above is incomplete. The concluding part is
b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month. Yes or No
Given the above information,
a. Total number of miles driven = 1.529 miles
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × Number of miles driven
= $320 + $0.14 × 1,529
= $320 + $214.06
= $534.06
b. Since $320 per month is the fixed, the fixed cost per mile will decrease with the increase in number of miles driven . It means that if he drives less than 1,400 miles , the actual cost will be more than the cost based on predetermined overhead rate of the cost.
No. It would not be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month.

What macroeconomic goal is Real GDP used to measure for?
Answer:
"Economic growth " would be the correct answer.
Explanation:
Throughout a particular year, real GDP tests the overall production as well as commodities of the economy, including light of the price adjustments.People should measure or equate GDP throughout the year as inflation would be factored into the equation which would be a fair predictor about wherever the market cycle goes.Thus the above is the right answer.
You won the lottery when the jackpot was $3,300,000 (annual payments of $165,000 paid for 20 years). Your choice is to take the annual payments for 20 years or take the lump sum payout today. The lottery administration uses a 4% interest rate. What is the value of the lump sum payout
Answer:
Lump sum= $2,242,403.85
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the future value of the annual payments using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
FV= {165,000*[(1.04^20) - 1]} / 0.04
FV= $4,913,382.97
Now, the lump sum is the present value of the annual payments:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 4,913,382.97 / (1.04^20)
PV= $2,242,403.85
Excess reserves A. are loans made at above market interest rates. B. are the deposits that banks do not use to make loans. C. are reserves banks keep to meet the reserve requirement. D. are reserves banks keep above the legal requirement. Suppose the required reserve ratio is % and a bank has the following balance sheet: Assets Liabilities Reserves $ Deposits $ Loans $ This bank keeps required reserves of $ nothing and excess reserves of $ nothing. (Enter your responses as integers.)
Answer and Explanation:
The excess reserves are the reserves banks that maintain more the legal requirement. It shows the difference between the required reserve and the actual reserve
Hence, the last option is correct
Now the required reserve is
= ($11,000 × 11%)
= $1,210
And, the excess reserve is
= $2,200 - $1,210
= $990
Hence, the same would be relevant
On January 1, 2011, The Miller Corporation purchased 300,000 shares of The Mayfair Corporation for $5.7 million. The investment represented 40% of The Mayfair Corporation's outstanding common shares. During 2011, Mayfair reported net earnings of $2.25 million and paid a cash dividend of $0.15 per share. During 2012, Mayfair reported a net loss of $180,000 and again paid a dividend of $0.15 per share. Calculate the book value of Miller's investment in Mayfair as of December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2012
Answer:
2011 Value of investment in Mayfair
= Beginning investment value + Portion of Mayfair net income - Portion of Mayfair dividends
= 5,700,000 + (40% * 2,250,000) - (300,000 shares * 0.15)
= $6,555,000
2012 Value of investment
= Beginning investment value + Portion of Mayfair net income - Portion of Mayfair dividends
= 6,555,000 + (40% * -180,000) - (300,000 * 0.15)
= $6,438,000
Taxes that are paid by individuals on all money earned, including investments, are
Answer:
Personal Income Taxes
Explanation:
As the name of the tax implies, personal income taxes are simply taxes that are paid by individuals. A personal income tax is a percentage of the total amount of income a person received during a period of time, often a year, through different means: salary, permanent investments, occasional investments, and so on.
In some countries, personal income taxes are not levied on investment income in order to promote investment.
A plant asset was purchased on January 1 for $140000 with an estimated salvage value of $20000 at the end of its useful life. The current year's Depreciation Expense is $10000 calculated on the straight-line basis and the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of the year is $40000. The remaining useful life of the plant asset is
Answer:
useful life= 12 years
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $140,000
Salvage value= $20,000
Annual depreciation= $10,000
To calculate the useful life, we need to use the straight-line method formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
10,000= (140,00 - 20,000) / useful life
10,000useful life = 120,000
useful life= 120,000 / 10,000
useful life= 12 years

Explanation:
A. Joe decides to build a chicken coop in his suburban backyard. He has several hens and one rooster. The rooster wakes up his neighbor each morning at 5:00 am. Joe's chicken coop :_______.
a. creates a negative externality if his chickens do not lay eggs.
b. creates a positive externality if Joe sells his chickens' eggs at the local farmers' market.
c. creates a positive externality if the neighbor wants to sleep longer but accepts free eggs in exchange for the inconvenience.
d. creates a negative externality if the neighbor wants to sleep longer and a positive externality if the neighbor is happy to be awaken early each day.
B. Jostin is ill and goes to the doctor. The doctor diagnoses him with a bacterial infection and prescribes an antibiotic. Jostin's visit to the doctor:_______.
a. produces a negative externality if he was supposed to be home studying for his classes.
b. produces a negative externality if the doctor was hoping to leave early that day and a positive externality if the doctor was hoping to boost her income.
c. produces a positive externality if it prevents other people from getting sick and a negative externality if the bacterial infection becomes resistant to antibiotics.
d. produces a positive externality if his medical insurance pays for the visit and a negative externality if Jostin has to pay out of pocket.
C. An urban farmer decides to build a bee hive to help pollinate the rooftop gardens in his neighborhood. The beehive:_________.
a. generates a negative externality if the bees are killed by a colony of wasps.
b. generates a positive externality if the farmer creates a successful online business that sells products made from the bees' honey
c. generates a negative externality if the farmer spends nearly all his time tending the bees and rarely leaves his home.
d. generates a positive externality if the rooftop gardens benefit from the pollination and a negative externality if the neighbors get stung by bees.
Answer:
D
C
D
Explanation:
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
a. The chicken coop would be of advantage if the neighbours want to wake up early (positive externality) and a disadvrange if they want to wake up late (negative externality).
the neighbours accepting eggs for the inconvenience is an example of private solution to negative externality
B. If Jill is cured he doesnt infect others (positive externality) If the bacteria is resistant, others can become infected and sick (negative externality)
Interest rates on 4-year Treasury securities are currently 5.55%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 7.7%. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below. Open spreadsheet If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now? Calculate the yield using a geometric average. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
12.13%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now using a geometric average
Yield=((1+6 year rate)^6/(1+4 year rate)^4)^(1/2)-1
Yield =((1+7.7%)^6/(1+5.55%)^4)^(1/2)-1
Yield =0.1213*100
Yield =12.13%
Therefore what the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now
using a geometric average will be 12.13%

Your bank card has an APR of 21% and there is a 3% fee for cash advances. The bank starts charging interest on cash advances immediately. You get a cash advance of $500 on the first day of the month. You get your credit card bill at the end of the month. What is the approximate total finance charge you will pay on this cash advance for the month
Answer:
Total finance charge=$23.75
Explanation:
The amount charged for the use of the fund by a bank is called interest rate. Here it is quoted as 21% per annum but we will need to determine the approximate monthly rate by dividing by 12.
The total finance charge will be equal = Interest rate + advance fee
Monthly interest rate = 21/12 =1.75%
Interest payment = 1.75%× $500=$8.75
Advance fee = 3%× $500= $15
Total finance charge = $8.75 + $15= $23.75
Total finance charge=$23.75
