Answer:

How much do you make in interest in a year?

<u>$  1100</u>

How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep up with inflation in that year?

<u>$  1782 </u>

How much buying power did you lose in that year because of inflation?

<u>$  682 </u>

Explanation:

Your interest formula is given to you.

Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring)

Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100

How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation?  Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise prices are going up faster than you're saving.

Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782

How much buying power did you lose?  The difference between your required interest and your actual interest.

Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682.  You lost this much in buying power.

Hope that helped :)

How do stocks and bonds differ?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

D. Stocks are good for income while bonds are good for long-term growth.

Explanation:

A Stock is the smallest unit of a corporation. A stockholder is one of the owners of a corporation. Should the corporation makes profits, stockholders are entitled to dividends. Stocks are traded in the exchange markets. When the market or the corporation is doing well, stock price increases representing a capital gain to the shareholders.

Bonds are debts instruments that governments and corporates use to raise capital. They present long term investment opportunities to investors. Bonds offer regular and fixed interest payments to investors until maturity.

Stocks are riskier than bonds. Stock prices experience volatility as they trade every day. Their prices are likely to rise when the markets are favorable, which means profits to investors. Bonds are less risky and offer stable incomes for the long term.

Rivoli Inc. hired you as a consultant to help estimate its cost of capital. You have been provided with the following data: D0 =
Illusion [34]

Answer:

9.5%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the cost of common equity under the DCF method is shown below:

= Current year dividend ÷ price + Growth rate

In first case,  

The current dividend would be  

= Last year dividend + last year dividend × growth rate

= $0.80 + $0.80 × 8%

= $0.80 + $0.064

= $0.864

The other things would remain the same

So, the cost of common equity would be

= $0.864 ÷ $57.50 + 8%

= 0.015026 + 0.08

= 9.5%

Ayayai Corp. just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 195 units $1170 June 10 260 uni
natulia [17]

Answer:

$2275

Explanation:

Given: Detail of inventory purchase-

          June 1   195 units at $1170

         June 10   260 units at $1820

         June 15   260 units at $2080

         June 28    195 units at $1755

         Total purchase= $6825.

Ending Inventory on June 30 are 260 units

Now, computing amount allocated to ending inventory for June by using FIFO inventory method.

First allocating inventory June 28 purchase as it is a latest entry in the books and we are using FIFO method.

∴ Inventory allocated on June 28= 195 units at the total cost of \$1755

Next, allocating remaining inventory from June 15 purchase.

⇒ Remaining units= 260-195= 65\ units

∴ Remaining units to be allocated is 65 units

Cost of each unit from the purchase of June 15.

Cost of each unit= \frac{2080}{260}

∴ Cost of each unit for allocating remaining units= \$ 8

Hence, Cost of allocating remianing 65 units= 65\times \$8 = \$520

Total amount allocated to ending inventory= \$ 1755+\$ 520

∴ Total amount allocated to ending inventory= $2275

Hence, the amount allocated to ending inventory for June is $2275.

Suppose that for a particular firm the only variable input into the production process is labor and that output equals zero when
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Total variable cost if 4 units were produced

= $33.75 x 4 units = $135

Total fixed cost = Total cost - Total variable cost

Total fixed cost = $175 -$135

Total fixed cost = $40

Average fixed cost = Total fixed cost/No of units

Average fixed cost = $40/10 units

Average fixed cost = $4

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the total variable cost on the ground that 4 units were produced. Then, we will determine the total fixed cost by deducting the total variable cost from total cost. Finally, we will divide the total fixed cost by 10 units in order to obtain the average fixed cost.
