Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $1,000
Annual interest rate= 6% = 0.06
Number of periods= n
To calculate the future value after "n" periods, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
For example:
n= 6 years
FV= 1,000*(1.06^6)
FV= $1,418.52

Dr. Land Account ______50,000 pounds
Cr. Appreciation on Land 50,000 pounds
Explanation:
As Land is recorded at the value of $50,000 and it is needed to be appreciated on December 31,2X12.
The appreciation will increase the value of the land so the land account will be debited as it is a fixed asset account that has debit nature.
On the other hand, the appreciation on the land account will be credit because it is an unrecognized income/gain account that will be reported as other comprehensive income.
Adjustment = Appreciated Value - Carrying Value = 100,000 pounds - 50,000 pounds = 50,000 pounds
Note: As depreciation is not applicable on the land so, the carrying value on December 31, 2X10 will be the same on December 31,2X12 before adjustment.
inventory g Ronald Homes purchased land for development for $2,500,000. The land will be parceled into lots and sold for vacation homes as follows: 10 lots (Type A) to sell for $100,000 each; 15 lots (Type B) to sell for $70,000 each; and 20 lots (Type C) to sell for $50,000 each. At what amount should Ronald Homes record the Type B lots
Answer:
Ronald Homes
The amount at which Ronald Homes should record Type B lots is $860,656 while each should be recorded at $57,377.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of land for development = $2,500,000
Land parceled into lots as follows:
Type A (10 lots) to sell for $100,000 each = $1,000,000
Type B (15 lots) to sell for $70,000 each = 1,050,000
Type C (20 lots) to sell for $50,000 each = 1,000,000
Total sales value = $3,050,000
Type A lots to be recorded at $1,000,000/$3,050,000 * $2,500,000
= $819,672
Type B lots to be recorded at: $1,050,000/$3,050,000 * $2,500,000
= $860,656
Type C lots to be recorded at $1,000,000/$3,050,000 * $2,500,000
= $819,672
Suppose the local government imposes an annual lump-sum tax per plant.How will the average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal cost curves faced by a steel manufacturer be affected
Answer:
The Tax is a lump-sum which means that it does not change by output. It is therefore a fixed cost.
Average Fixed Cost ⇒ INCREASE
The new tax would increase the fixed costs which would lead to an increase in the average fixed costs.
Average Variable Cost ⇒ UNCHANGED
The tax is a fixed cost not a variable cost which means variable costs will not be affected.
Average Total cost ⇒ INCREASE
Fixed costs is a part of total cost and if that increases, the total cost will have to increase as well.
Marginal Cost ⇒ UNCHANGED
As the cost that changed is a fixed cost, the total cost will not change as a result of more production so marginal cost will not change.
Nickel Inc. bought $500,000 of 3-year, 6% bonds as an investment on December 31, 2017 for $530,000. The investment receives interest annually and Nickel uses straight-line amortization. On May 1, 2018, the issuer retired $100,000 of the bonds at 116. As a result of the retirement, Nickel will report a:
Answer:
the gain would be reported i.e. $10,778
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The Value of 100000 bonds is
= $530,000 ÷ $500,000 × 100,000
= $106,000
Now
Premium amortization in 4 month is
= $7,000 ÷ 36 months × 4 months
= $778
Now
Carrying value on may 1, 2018 is
= $106,000 - $778
= $105,222
Now
Retirement value is
= 100,000 × 1.16
= 116,000
So,
Gain on retirement is
= 116,000 - 105,222
= $10,778
Hence, the gain would be reported i.e. $10,778

What is meant when economists say that the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously
Answer:
When economists say that the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously, it means that:
Overheating the US economy does not produce high inflation.
Explanation:
The US economy is being overheated through rapid economic expansions. Some of these expansions are engendered by rapid technological changes. The US government also often indulge in aggressive economic expansions by ensuring maximum employment and capacity utilization. But these measures have been found to not distort the economy with high inflation rates. As a result, an economist can conclude that "the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously."

ear, Inc. generates a $100,000 net operating loss in the current year. Plum, Inc. generates $500,000 of taxable income. Compute the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return.
Answer:
Consolidated=$84,000
Not consolidated= $105,000
Explanation:
Computation for the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return.
Computation for Consolidated
Taxable income = ($500,000 - $100,000) x 21%
Taxable income =$400,000×21%
Taxable income = $84,000
Computation for Not consolidated
Not consolidated= $500,000 x 21%
Not consolidated= $105,000
Therefore the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return will be :
Consolidated=$84,000
Not consolidated= $105,000

Jane has $500 a week to spend on clothing and food. The price of clothing is $25 and the price of food is $10. The clothing and food pairs in Jane's choice set include ________ units of clothing and ________ units of food.
Answer:
12
20
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A. 10, 10
B) 25, 5
C) 12; 20
D) 16, 8
If Jane buys 10 units of clothing and 10 units of food : (10 x $25) + (10 x $10) = $350. This doesn't maximise his income
If Jane buys 25 units of clothing and 5 units of food : (25 x $25) + (5 x $10) = $675. This is greater than income
If Jane buys 12 units of clothing and 20 units of food : (12 x $25) + (20 x $10) = $500. This maximises income
If Jane buys 16 units of clothing and 8 units of food : (16 x $25) + (8 x $10) = $480. This doesn't maximise his income
Suppose the demand for apples becomes more elastic. All else equal, this means that the same change in price will result in
Answer:
a greater change in quantity demanded
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Problem 3. A company wants to forecast demand for June using a two period weighted moving average with weights of .6 (for May) and .4 (for April). Calculate the forecast for June. Jan 100 Feb 150 Mar 200 Apr 500 May 800 June
Answer:
June forecast = 680
Explanation:
Since we are required to use two period weighted moving average, the forecast for June can be calculated using the following formula:
June forecast = (April figure * Weight for April) + (May figure * Weight for May) ....... (1)
Where;
April figure = 500
Weight for April = 0.4
May figure = 800
Weight for May = 0.6
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
June forecast = (500 * 0.4) + (800 * 0.6) = 200 + 480 = 680
