Explanation:
Calculation to determine the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet
Using this formula
Deferred tax liability=Total future taxable income × Tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Deferred tax liability=(2022 137 million+2023 129 million+2024 162 million+2025 165 million)*25%
Deferred tax liability=$593 million*25%
Deferred tax liability=$148.3 million
Therefore the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet is $148.3 million
A registered investment adviser often recommends real estate limited partnership investments to her wealthy clients. The RIA's personal financial statement and income are consistent with those of her wealthy clients, yet she never buys limited partnership units for her personal account. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: Her actions are inconsistent with the advice being given to her clients and this must be disclosed

This shows that her actions are inconsistent with the advice being given to her clients and this must be disclosed.
Assume that the reserve requirement is 5 percent. All other things being equal, will the money supply expand more if the Fed buys $2,000 worth of bonds or if someone deposits in a bank $2,000 that she had been hiding in her cookie jar? If one creates more, how much more does it create? Support your thinking.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the reserve ratio is given as 5%, then the money multiplier will be:
= 1 / reserve requirement
= 1/5%
= 1 / 0.05
= 20.
Therefore, the money multiplier will increase by 20.
Then, the Money supply will be calculated as:
= amount x money multiplier
= 2000 x 20
= 40000
Therefore, the increase in the money supply will be $40000.
In this case, if the FED purchases $2000 worth of bonds, it'll expand the money supply more.
Suppose the price of a BMW falls. Explain the law of demand based on the income and substitution effects.
Answer:
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
It is expected that when the price of a BMW falls, the quantity of cars demanded increases.
there are two effect in place that affect the demand for BMW.
They are :
the substitution effect the income effectThe substitution effect looks at the change in price of a good relative to other goods. When the price of a BMW falls, it becomes cheaper relative to other goods. As a result, consumers buy more of BMWs and less of other goods. This leads to a movement down along the demand curve for that good.
The income effect looks at how a change in price affects real disposable income. When the price the BMW decreases, real disposable income increases. As a result, consumers can afford to buy more BMW cars as the consumers purchasing power has increased, holding money income constant.
These two effects lead to an increase in the quantity of BMW demanded

NorthRim Inc. (NRI), imports extreme condition outdoor wear and equipment from the Allofit Territories Company (ATC) located in Canada. With the steady decline of the U.S dollar against the Canadian dollar NRI is finding a continued relationship with ATC to be an increasingly difficult proposition. In response to NRI's request, ATC has proposed the following risk-sharing arrangement. First, set the current spot rate as the base rate. As long as spot rates stay within 5% (up or down) NRI will pay at the base rate. Any rate outside of the 5% range, ATC will share equally with NRI the difference between the spot rate and the base rate. If the current spot rate is C$1.20/$, what are the upper and lower limits for trading to take place at C$1.20?
a. C$1.205/$ - C$1.195/$
b. C$1.15/$ - C$1.25/$
c. C$1.14/$ - C$1.26/$
d. none of the above
Answer:
The answer is "Option C".
Explanation:
Let
Spot rate = Base rate= 1.20
Within the [tex]5\%[/tex] range, the trade will taking the place at the base rate that is [tex]=1.20[/tex]
Calculating the lower limit:
[tex]\to 1.20 - (5\% \times 1.20) =1.20 - (0.06)= 1.20 - 0.006 = 1.14\\\\\to 1.20 + (5\% \times 1.20)=1.20 + (0.06) = 1.20 + 0.006 = 1.26[/tex]
Many restaurants do not take reservations. You simply arrive and wait your turn. If you arrive at 7:30 in the evening, you have at least an hour wait. Notwithstanding that fact, a few people arrive, speak quietly with the maître d’, hand him some money, and are promptly seated. At some restaurants that do take reservations, there is a month wait for a Saturday evening, three weeks for a Friday evening, two weeks for a Tuesday through Thursday, and virtually no wait for Sunday or Monday evening. How do you explain these events using demand and supply?

A company with $60,000 in current assets and $35,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this transaction, the current ratio and working capital will
Answer:
Increase and remain the same respectively
Explanation:
Given the above information, we know that current ratio is computed as;
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
Current ratio = $60,000 ÷ $34,000
Current ratio = 1: 1.76
Working capital is computed as;
= Current asset - Current liabilities
= $60,000 - $34,000
= $26,000
As a result of the above, the current ratio increased because of the reduction in the current liabilities value while the working capital remains the same.

Answer:
Advantages of using the average rate of return except:
b.the average rate of return method uses present values.
Explanation:
The company's average rate of return or the accounting rate of return (ARR) ignores the time value of money or the cash flows in its calculations. It is a simple capital evaluation method which calculates the ratio based on the percentage of annual returns over the project's initial cost. The ARR is not like other investmental appraisal methods, it bases its calculations on accounting profits rather than cash flows.
You want to have $2.7 million when you retire in 37 years. You feel that you can save $600 per month until you retire. What APR do you have to earn in order to achieve your goal
Answer:
9.87%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What APR do you have to earn in order to achieve your goal
$2.7 million = $600{[(1 + r)444 − 1] / r}
r = .0082*100
r=.82%
r = .82% × 12
r = 9.87%
Therefore the APR you have to earn in order to achieve your goal is 9.87%
Find the APR, or stated rate, in each of the following cases:
Stated Rate (APR) Number of Times Effective
Compounded Rate (EAR)
% Semiannually 11.9%
Monthly 12.8
Weekly 10.5
Infinite 14.2
Answer and Explanation:
The annual percentage rate or stated rate is as follows;
Effective annual rate = [1 + (Annual percentage rate ÷ compounding period )]^compounding period - 1
Annual percentage rate
= 2[(1.119)1 ÷ 2 - 1]
= 11.57%
Annual percentage rate is
= 12 [(1.128)1 ÷ 12 - 1]
= 12.11%
Annual percentage rate
= 52[(1.105)1 ÷ 52 - 1]=
= 9.99%
Annual percentage rate
= 365[(1.142)1 ÷ 365 - 1]
= 13.28%

The company employees work mostly from home with directors or consultants renting temporary office space with or without videoconferencing when needed for either client meetings or vendor meetings. The company is very successful and has an expanding client base. The company CEO is extremely relaxed and extremely smart and expects everyone at the company to display a relaxed yet expert demeanor as well. There really are very few rules or expectations at the company as the CEO also believes in keeping processes very simple. The previous president retired about six months ago, and the CEO, together with a human resources firm, hired a new president. About two months ago the companyâs employees (i.e., consultants) started receiving emails from the new president putting pressure on all of them to produce results in less time but pressuring them to charge the clients higher sums without making any more money for themselves. In addition, the new president wants the staff to come into the office now three times a week for meetings. Three months ago the new president hired thirty new full-time consultants that seem more like salespersons than consultants to existing employees. A few of the long-time consultants have been emailing the CEO about these changes and suggesting they may go elsewhere. In the meantime, the Finance Director has detected several anomalies in the contract terms and financial results from some of the new consultants and one or two of the existing consultants.

Why are multinational corporations (MNCs) getting involved in corporate social responsibility and sustainable business practice
Answer:
Some are genuinely giving back to the community:
Some MNCs are engaged in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable business practices because they genuinely care about the communities they have a presence in and the earth as well. With this is mind, they find out ways to give back to the community to ensure that people's lives are touched and improved so that the wider community benefits from the success of the MNC.
Brand Strengthening and Recognition.
Sometimes MNCs get involved in CSR to build their brand because people would associate their brand with the good works they do. This would go a long way in improving their sales figures as well because people want to support a company that supports its communities.
Tax Considerations.
Various tax credits exist for MNCs across many countries and tax regimes to reward them for their CSR activities. MNCs therefore see this as a chance to kill two birds with one stone as they get to use money that would have gone to taxes to improve their PR standing.
