"A customer contributed $50,000 to a variable annuity contract. The account value has grown over the years and the NAV is now $70,000. The customer is now age 60, and takes a lump-sum distribution of $25,000 to pay for expenses. Which statement is TRUE?"
Answer: $20,000 of the distribution is taxable and $5,000 is not taxable

A. The entire $25,000 distribution is not taxable
B. $5,000 of the distribution is taxable and $20,000 is not taxable
C. $20,000 of the distribution is taxable and $5,000 is not taxable
D. The entire $25,000 distribution is taxable.
From the question, we are told that a customer contributed $50,000 to a variable annuity contract and that the account value has grown over the years and the NAV is now $70,000.
We are further told that the customer is now age 60, and takes a lump-sum distribution of $25,000 to pay for expenses. This indicates that there will be tax deductible in the amount of :
= $70000 - $50000 = $20,000. It should also be noted that $5000 won't be taxed.

f the short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal and the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical, then a change in the money supply will change ______ in the short run and change ______ in the long run.
Answer:
1. only output.
2. only prices
Explanation:
Aggregate supply curve is a graphical representation of supply indices of a firm which shows the total quantity of output, that is real GDP that firms will produce and sell at given price level.
Hence, given that the short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal and the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical, then a change in the money supply will change ONLY OUTPUT in the short run and change ONLY PRICES in the long run.

The gross domestic product (GDP) of a country was $112 billion in 2001. If the GDP grows at a constant rate of 4.3% per year, in what year will the GDP be greater than $200 billion
Answer:
The GDP will grow above or will be greater the $200 billion amount during the 14th year from 2001 which will be 2015.
Explanation:
To calculate the GDP in a particular year after 2001, we know the equation will be,
GDP = 112 * (1+0.043)^t
Where,
t is the time in yearsIf we want to calculate the year in which GDP will be greater than 200 billion, we need to substitute the GDP part in the equation with amount of say 200 billion.
200 = 112 * (1+0.043)^t
200 / 112 = (1.043)^t
1.785714286 = (1.043)^t
Taking log on both sides and dividing the equation for t.
log(1.785714286) / log(1.043) = t
t = 13.772 years rounded off to 14 years
So, the GDP will grow above or will be greater the $200 billion amount during the 14th year from 2001 which will be 2015.

Suncoast Healthcare is planning to acquire a new x ray machine that costs $200,000. The business can either lease the machine using an operating lease or buy it using a loan from a local bank. Suncoast's balance sheet prior to acquiring the machine is a follows:
Current assets: $100,000 --- debt : $400,000
net fixed assets: $900,00 ---- equity: $ 600,000
total assets : $ 1,000,000 --- total claims: $1,000,000
a. what is Suncoast's current debt ratio?
b. what would the new debt ratio be if the machine were leased? if it iss purchased?
c. is the financial risk of the business different under the two asquistition alternatives?
Answer:
a. what is Suncoast's current debt ratio?
debt ratio = liabilities / equity = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
b. what would the new debt ratio be if the machine were leased? if it is purchased?
if X-ray machine is leased, debt ratio = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
if X-ray machine is purchased, debt ratio = $600,000 / $600,000 = 1
c. is the financial risk of the business different under the two acquisition alternatives?
yes, because a higher debt ratio means that the company is under a higher financial stress since it has more outstanding loans, which increases the financial risk.
If the marginal damage caused by a certain type of pollution is $100 billion and the marginal cost of abatement is $180 billion, then:
Options :
A) society would be better off with zero pollution.
B) society would be better off if emissions were increased.
C) command and control policies should always be used.
D) Society would be better off if emissions were reduced
Answer:
Explanation: The marginal damage resulting from an emission refers to the extra damage resulting from the extra unit of emission released. Whereby the marginal cost of abatement refers to the cost incurred in reducing one extra unit of pollution. Taking a look at the cost of marginal damage incurred, which is $100billion and the marginal cost of abatement which is $180 billion. From an economic standpoint, aive the abatement cost considerably outweighs the marginal damage, it spending $180 billion to cover for a loss of $ 100 billion seems unreasonable. Therefore the society will be better off if emissions were increased.

Answer:

An investor just purchased a rectangular 2-acre retail lot for $250 a frontage foot. If she paid $100,000 total, what was the depth of the lot
Answer:
The lot depth is 217.8
Explanation:
The total amount paid = $100000
The price of a lot = $250
Total frontage feet = 100000 / 250 = 400 frontage feet.
Now, we know that 1 acre = 43560 square feet
Therefore, 2 acres = 87120 square feet
Now, divide the 87120 with 400 to find the depth of the lot.
The lot depth = 87120 / 400 = 217.8

Complete Question:
Ms. Muffy Vanderbilt is an entrepreneurial socialite who has successfully worked as a fund raiser for a not-for-profit organization for the past 10 years. Because of her success at raising money and her extensive list of social contacts, she is recruited by an investment advisory firm to become a representative. Ms. Vanderbilt would be permitted to:
I. state to customers that she has 10 years of experience in the industry.
II. use the title "investment adviser representative" on her business card.
III. state to customers that she is registered as a representative with the SEC.
Group of answer choices
A. I only
B. II only
C. II and III
D. I, II, III
Answer:
B. II only
Explanation:
In this scenario, Ms. Muffy Vanderbilt is an entrepreneurial socialite who has successfully worked as a fund raiser for a not-for-profit organization for the past 10 years. Consequently, she was recruited by an investment advisory firm to become a representative as a result of her expertise and success at raising money, as well as her extensive list of social contacts.
Hence, Ms. Vanderbilt would be permitted to use the title "investment adviser representative" on her business card but she is prohibited from;
1. stating to customers that she has 10 years of experience in the industry because she worked for a not-for-profit organization.
2. stating to customers that she is registered as a representative with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because only the investment adviser is required to register with SEC.
She can only register at the state where she's representing the investment adviser.
Hence, points I and III would be considered a misrepresentation if used by Ms. Muffy Vanderbilt.
AT Oils, a gas station, retails 30,000 gallons of petrol per year. Its ordering costs are $20 per order and holding costs are $40 per gallon. According to the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, approximately how often should the company place a fresh order for petrol
Answer:
The company should place an order every 2 days
Explanation:
The EOQ or economic order quantity is the quantity which minimizes the inventory related costs. The EOQ is calculated as follows,
EOQ = √(2 * D * O) / H
Where,
D is the annual demandO is the ordering cost per orderH is the holding cost per unit per yearEOQ = √(2 * 30000 * 20) / 40
EOQ = 173.2050808 gallons rounded off to 174 gallons
If the company orders using the EOQ, then at an annual demand of 30000 gallons, the number of times that company should order the EOQ is,
Number of orders = 30000 / 174 = 172.4137931 or 173 orders per year
If the company needs to order 173 times per year, the company should place an order every x number of days.
x = 365 / 173
x = 2.10982659 days rounded off to 2.11 days or every 2 days
