Explanation:
Required:
Find the amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of the investment.
Amount of income to be recognized should be calculated as:
Share of net income - Amortization of equipment in excess of book value
Where,
Share of net income = 30% of net income
= 30% × $80,000
= $24,000
Less: Amortization of equipment in excess of book value =
[tex] \frac{160,000 - 60,000}{5 yrs} * 0.30 [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{100,000}{5} * 0.30 [/tex]
[tex] = 6,000 [/tex]
Therefore, amount of income to be recognized =
$24,000 - $6,000
= $18,000
Amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of this investment is $18,000

Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 3.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 3.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 3.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1
Answer:
5.25%
Explanation:
To calculate the inflation for the year 3, we will have to calculate the yield on 1 Year treasury bond.
The yield is calculated using the following formula:
Nominal Yield on Bond = Real risk free rate + Inflation for the year
Here
Inflation for Year One is 3.75%
Real Risk-Free Rate is 3.5%
Nominal yield on bond is Y for year 1
By putting values, we have:
Y = 3.5% + 3.75% = 7.25%
For 3 years treasury bond,
Nominal Yield on Treasury Bond for 3 years = Yield on year 1 + Inflation
Y3 = 7.25% + 1.5% = 8.75 %
Now if we deduct the real risk free rate from the 3 year yield on the treasury bond, then the resultant rate would be the inflation rate for the year 3.
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = Y3 - Real Risk-Free Rate
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 8.75% - 3.5%
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 5.25%
Copper Corporation, a calendar year C corporation, owns stock in Bronze Corporation and has net operating income of $900,000 for the current year. Bronze Corporation pays Copper a dividend of $150,000. What amount of dividends received deduction may Copper claim if it owns 85% of Bronze stock (and the two corporations are members of the same affiliated group)? (Assume Copper's dividends received deduction is not limited by its taxable income.)
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
Copper Corporation
The amount of dividends received deduction will tend to depends upon the ownership percentage by the corporate shareholder.
Therefore in a situation where Copper Corporation is said to owns only 85% of what Bronze Corporation had, Copper Corporation definitely qualify for a percentage of 100 deduction or a total amount of $150,000.if we have to based on the above information given because Bronze Corporation pays Copper Corporation a dividend of $150,000.
Which of the following is not an example of a "lag" that diminishes the potential impact of the use of fiscal policy? a. the recessionary lag b. the data lag c. the legislative lag d. the transmission lag
Answer:
a. the recessionary lag
Explanation:
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
Lag in economics can be defined as a measure of the time it takes to recognize economic conditions and how they're being responded to by the government (policy makers).
For instance, measuring the time between when a fiscal policy is implemented and when the people feel its impact in the society.
The recessionary lag is not an example of a "lag" that diminishes the potential impact of the use of fiscal policy because after implementation, the next phase is for the people to feel the impact or effectiveness of the fiscal policy.
Examples of a "lag" that diminishes the potential impact of the use of fiscal policy are;
1. The data lag.
2. The legislative lag.
3. The transmission lag.
The common stock of Buildwell Conservation & Construction Inc. (BCCI) has a beta of .9. The Treasury bill rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is estimated at 8%. BCCI’s capital structure is 30% debt, paying an interest rate of 5%, and 70% equity. The debt sells at par. Buildwell pays tax at 40%.
a. What is BCCI’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
Cost of equity capital %
b. What is its WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
WACC %
Answer:
Cost of equity is 11.2%
WACC is 8.74%
Explanation:
The formula for cost of equity is given below:
Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)
risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%
Beta is 0.9
market risk premium is 8%
cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%
WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)
Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%
Kd is the cost of debt of 5%
t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7
D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3
V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1
WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)
WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%

John was driving his car in a careless way, failing to drive as a reasonably prudent person would under the driving conditions. Ramona was crossing the street in a careless way, failing to cross as a reasonably prudent person would. John struck and injured Ramona with the car John was driving. At trial, it was determined that John was 80 percent at fault and that Ramona was 20 percent at fault. The injuries sustained amounted to $100,000. Explain how much, if any, recovery Ramona would receive in a state that applies the contributory negligence rule. Do the same thing for a state that applies the comparative negligence rule
Answer:
1. If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.
2. If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John which will be $80,000
Explanation:
In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.
If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.
In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.
If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John
this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to $80,000
Purchasing power parity is used to adjust gross national income in order to make a more direct comparison of________in various countries.
a. living standards.
b. population density.
c. geographical area.
d. factor endowments.
e. labor productivity.
Answer:
A. living standards.
Explanation:
HDI( Human development index) has been trying to assess 189 different countries and territories, with very different price levels. In order to compare economic statistics across countries, the data must first be converted into a common currency. In contrast to market exchange rates, PPP exchange rates make it possible for this conversion to take into account price differences between countries. This best represents the standard of living of people, GNI per capita (PPP)
Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. What is his economic rent as a baseball player?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Economic rent is a payment to a factor of production that is in excess of the costs which are needed to bring the factor into production. It is the payment in excess of the opportunity cost.
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $660,000
= $230,000
If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $90,000
= $800,000
At Jose's Bakersfield Espresso, Jose charges $3.50 for an average cup of espresso. If his fixed cost (salary, insurance, etc.) are $100,000 a year, and the variable cost for each cup of espresso are $1.25.
A) State the total fixed cost
B) State the variable cost
C)State the price
D) Given the available data, at what quantity will Jose's Bakersfield Espresso break even?
Answer:
A. $100,000
B. $1.25 per unit
C. $3.5 per unit
D. Break even point = 44,444 units
Explanation:
Break even point denotes that level of sales at which total costs equal or even total revenues.
Contribution represents the sales revenue in excess of variable costs to cover up for fixed costs.
Break even point in units = [tex]\frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution\ per\ unit}[/tex]
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution per unit = $3.50 - $1.25 = $2.25
Break even point = [tex]\frac{100,000}{2.25}[/tex] = 44,444 units approx.

If the market price of an orange increases from $0.80 to $1.05, then consumer surplus. Name First orange Second orange Third orange Allison $2 $1.5 $0.75 Bob $1.5 $1 $0.6 Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0 Group of answer choices increases by $0.75 decreases by $0.95. decreases by $0.75 decreases by $1.00
Answer:
decreases by $0.95.
Explanation:
Here is the full question :
For each of three potential buyers of oranges, the table displays the willingness to pay for the first three oranges of the day. Assume Allison, Bob, and Charisse are the only three buyers of oranges, and only three oranges can be supplied per day.
First OrangeSecond OrangeThird OrangeAllison$2.00$1.50$0.75Bob$1.50$1.00$0.60Charisse$0.75$0.25$0
Refer to Table above. If the market price of an orange increases from $0.80 to $1.05, then consumer surplus
Group of answer choices increases by $0.75 decreases by $0.95. decreases by $0.75 decreases by $1.00
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Change in consumer surplus = $1.85 - $2.8 = $-0.95
Please check the attached images for an explanation on how the answer was derived.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: decreases by $0.95.
Explanation:
Allison $2 $1.5 $0.75
Bob $1.5 $1 $0.6
Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0
so consumer surplus = willingness to pay - market price
market price before = $0.80
consumer surplus before = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus before = (1.2 + 0.7 + 0) + ( 0.7 + 0.2 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus before = 2.8
market price after = $1.05
consumer surplus after = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus after = (0.95 + 0.45 + 0) + ( 0.45 + 0 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus after = 1.85
NOW
consumer surplus before - consumer surplus after
2.8 - 1.85 = 0.95
therefore consumer surplus decreases by $0.95
