Warehouse receipts, issued by goldsmiths were often used instead of gold itself to make payments.

Goldsmiths held deposited gold and issued receipts to their customers.

Explanation:

Banking evolved with the activities of goldsmiths who warehoused gold brought by customers for safeguarding by issuing them with warehouse receipts.  Before long, the warehouse receipts were used as a means of payment (or exchange).  That is, the warehouse receipts were used as currency, which is the modern-day equivalent of coins and paper money.

A restaurant is considering buying a new coffee making machine, which will be replaced over and over with a new one when an old one dies. Each coffee making machine costs $143,000, and is expected to die after exactly 6-years. Each machine will costs $10,200 per year to operate. The discount rate that the restaurant assigns to this coffee making machine project is 11 percent per year. The straight-line depreciation method would be used when calculating the machine's loss of value for tax purposes. Each coffee making machine will be fully depreciated all the way to zero at the end of its life. Also, each coffee making machine will have a before-tax salvage value of $10,500 at the end of its life. The restaurant's tax rate is 25 percent. As always, assume that all cash flows occur at year end. If the restaurant buys a coffee making machine over and over in perpetuity, as soon as one dies, what would be the average, or the equivalent, annual cost (EAC) of the machine?

Answers

Answer:

Coffee Making Restaurant

If the restaurant buys a coffee making machine in perpetuity, the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of the machine will be:

Equivalent annual cost of the machine = $44,994

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial investment cost of machine = $143,000

Expected useful life = 6 years

Discount rate = 11%

Annual operating cost = $10,200

Before-tax salvage value = $10,500

Applicable tax rate = 25%

After-tax salvage value = $7,875

Annuity factor for 6 years at 11% = 4.231

Present value of costs:

Initial investment =          $143,000 ($143,000 * 1)

Annual operating cost =      43,156 ($10,200 * 4.231)

Salvage value =                     (4,213) ($7,875 * 0.535)

Total costs =                    $190,369

Equivalent annual cost of the machine = $44,994 ($190,369/4.231)

When constructing a demand function, it is necessary to hold many other factors constant, so that a relationship between price and output can be established.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The given statement is true because there are other factors that impact the demand for a commodity for example if the income of a person rises then the person will consume more commodity and the demand curve will shift.

Therefore, other factors should be constant while constructing the demand function because keeping other factors constant will not impact the price and output relationship.

Compare and contrast different ways in which a taxpayer triggers a realization event by disposing of an asset.

Answers

Answer:

There are many ways a taxpayer can trigger a realization event.  She can trigger it through a sale or trade by receiving a value greater than the disposed asset.  She can also trigger a realization event by making a gift to charity.  Other ways include disposal, for example, to a landfill and destruction through natural disaster.  In the latter cases, there is a loss to the taxpayer.  With a natural disaster, the taxpayer can only obtain a realization gain if reimbursed by the insurance company.

Explanation:

A realization event happens when there is a sale or a disposal of an asset or a discharge from a liability.  There is usually an increase in the value realized from the disposal, which is greater than the asset's value before disposal. It also happens when the taxpayer receives a relief from a liability or completes a profitable transaction.

Explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

(8130 x 8) + [(9090 - 8130) x 6) = 70800

FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold

(3010 x 6) + [(9090 - 3010) x $8] = 66,700

On June 30, 2021, Moran Corporation issued $12.5 million of its 12% bonds for $11.4 million. The bonds were priced to yield 14%. The bonds are dated June 30, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 2021

Answers

Answer:

the reduction in the bond discount is $48,000

Explanation:

The computation of the reduction in the bond discount is as follow;

= ($11,400,000 × 14% × 1 ÷ 2) - ($12,500,000 × 12% × 1 ÷ 2)

= $798,000 - $750,000

= $48,000

Hence, the reduction in the bond discount is $48,000

Here we considered half as the interest is payable on semi-annual basis

The company has declared a dividend of $1.03 per share. The stock goes ex dividend tomorrow. What will be the price of the stock tomorrow morning

Answers

Answer:

$30.57

Explanation:

Total assets = Cash + Fixed assets

Total assets = $42,000 + $319,000

Total assets = $361,000.

Total liabilities = Total assets - Equity

Total liabilities = $361,000 total assets - $237,000 equity

Total liabilities = $124,000

Total dividend payments in cash = 7500 shares * $1.03 dividend = $7,725.  So, cash will now be reduced by $34,275 ($42,000 - $7725)

So, total assets will be = $361,000 - $7725 = $353,275.

So, total equity will be = $353,275 - $124,000 = $229,275

The price tomorrow morning = New equity / Total shares

The price tomorrow morning = $229,275 / 7500 shares

The price tomorrow morning = $30.57

Answers

Answer:

73.70%

Explanation:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

Real GDP in 2017 = ($3*5) + ($2*2)

Real GDP in 2017 = $15 + $4

Real GDP in 2017 = $19 million

1. Using the naïve method (most recent value) as the forecast for the next period, compute the following (Round your answers to two decimal places.) measures of forecast accuracy:

a. Mean absolute error (MAE)

b. Mean squared error (MSE)

c. Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).

2. Using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period, compute the same three values. Round your answers to two decimal places.

3. Which method appears to provide the more accurate forecasts for the historical data?

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

The following formulae are to be used:

MAE = Total of Error / Number of observations

MSE = Total of Error^2 / Number of observations

MAPE = Total of Error % / Number of observations

1. Using the naïve method (most recent value) as the forecast for the next period, compute the following (Round your answers to two decimal places.) measures of forecast accuracy:

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the determination of Naïve and Calculations of Error, Error^2 and Error % using the naïve method as the forecast for the next period.

From the attached excel file, we have:

MAE = 18.00 / 5 = 3.60

MSE = 78.00 / 5 = 15.60

MAPE = 127.23 / 5 = 25.45

2. Using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period, compute the same three values. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the determination of Naïve and Calculations of Error, Error^2 and Error % using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period.

From the attached excel file, we have:

MAE = 13.12 / 5 = 2.62

MSE = 55.55 / 5 = 11.11

MAPE = 97.94 / 5 = 19.59

3. Which method appears to provide the more accurate forecasts for the historical data?

The average of all the historical data provides the more accurate forecasts for the historical data comparing the values of its MAE, MSE and MAPE to the values of MAE, MSE and MAPE of Naive method. This is because the error values of the average of all the historical data are much lowest and more closest to the actual data.

Leander Mfg. has three support departments (human resources, administration, and maintenance) and two revenue-generating departments (assembly and finishing). The company uses the step method to allocate support department costs to operating departments. In October, human resources incurred $1,008,000 of costs, administration incurred $1,562,400, and maintenance incurred $476,000. Proportions of services provided to other departments for October follow.

JavaAssignmentFirst, launch NetBeans and close any previous projects that may be open (at the top menu go to File ==> Close All Projects).Then create a new Java application called "BackwardsStrings" (without the quotation marks) that:Prompts the user at the command line for one 3-character string.Then (after the user inputs that first 3-character string) prompts the user for another 3-character string.Then prints out the two input strings with a space between them.Finally prints on a separate line the two input strings 'in reverse' (see example below) with a space between them.So, for example, if the first string is 'usr' and the second string is 'bin', your program would output something like the following:The two strings you entered are: usr bin.The two strings in reverse are: nib rsu.Note that the reversed SECOND string comes FIRST when printing the strings in reverse.my result/*Name: Saima SultanaLab:PA - BackwardsStrings (Group 2)*/package backwardsstrings;import java.util.Scanner;public class BackwardsStrings { public static void main(String[] args) { //variables String first, second; // TODO code application logic here StringBuilder firstReversed= new StringBuilder(); StringBuilder secondReversed= new StringBuilder(); Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); // read strings first=input.nextLine(); second=input.nextLine(); // print out the input strings System.out.println("The two string you entered are:"+ first+" "+second+"."); // reverse the strings for ( int i=first.length()-1;i>=0; i--) firstReversed.append(first.charAt(i)); for ( int i=second.length()-1;i>=0; i--) secondReversed.append(second.charAt(i));// print out the reverse string System.out.println("The two strings in reverse are:"+secondReversed+" "+ firstReversed+ ".");}} The length of a rectangle is 6 cm less than twice its width, and the area is 108cm2.
