Which of the following best describes the consideration on the part of an insurer?
A. The purpose of the contract must be legalB. The promise to pay in the event of a covered claimC. The offer of the contractD. The acceptance of the contract
Answer:
B) The promise to pay in the event of a covered claim
Explanation:
The promise to pay in the happening of a covered claim apparently describes the promise to pay in the process of covered claim. In insurance matter of contracts, the insurer assures to pay for covered losses which the insured suffers and the insured promises to do what the contract says and pay the premium. Most non insurance contracts are fluctuating contracts. The amount of attention given by both parties are almost equivalent.
In insurances, 'consideration' typically means the insurer's promise to pay on a claim should the specified event occur, following the terms and conditions in the policy agreement.
Explanation:In the context of insurance, the term consideration refers typically to the promise to pay in the event of a covered claim. This binds the insurer in an agreements ensuring they will provide financial coverage to the policyholder, subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance policy.

Which of the following statements is false?
1. By increasing the amount paid to debt holders through interest payments, the amount of the pretax cash flows that must be paid as taxes increases.
2. To determine the benefit of leverage for the value of the firm, we must compute the present value of the stream of future interest tax shields the firm will receive.
3. When a firm uses debt, the interest tax shield provides a corporate tax benefit each year.
4. Because the cash flows of the levered firm are equal to the sum of the cash flows from the unlevered firm plus the interest tax shield, by the Law of One Price the same must be true for the present values of these cash flows.
Answer:
1) By increasing the amount paid to debt holders through interest payments, the amount of the pretax cash flows that must be paid as taxes increases.
Explanation:
All businesses pay taxes based on their net profits after interest payments are deducted as expenses, therefore interest payments reduce the net profit. A lower net profit = lower corporate taxes paid. Only interest payments are considered expenses, principal payments are not considered expenses and don't reduce taxes.
"The correct option is 1. By increasing the amount paid to debt holders through interest payments, the amount of the pretax cash flows that must be paid as taxes increases.
Let's analyze each statement to determine which one is false:
1. This statement is false because increasing the amount paid to debt holders through interest payments actually decreases the amount of pretax cash flows that must be paid as taxes. This is because interest payments are tax-deductible expenses, which reduce the taxable income of the firm. Therefore, the tax liability of the firm decreases as interest payments increase, not the other way around.
2. This statement is true. The benefit of leverage for the value of the firm can indeed be computed by calculating the present value of the stream of future interest tax shields the firm will receive. Since interest payments are tax-deductible, they provide a tax shield that increases the value of the firm.
3. This statement is also true. The interest tax shield does provide a corporate tax benefit each year because interest expenses reduce the firm's taxable income, thereby lowering its tax bill.
4. This statement is true as well. The cash flows of a levered firm are indeed the sum of the cash flows from the unlevered firm plus the interest tax shield. By the Law of One Price, which states that identical assets must have the same price when traded in the same market, the present values of these cash flows should also be equal.

Suppose a competitive firm and a monopolist are both charging $5 for their respective outputs. One can infer that:________
a. marginal revenue is $5 for both firms.
b. marginal revenue is $5 for the competitive firm and less than $5 for the monopolist.
c. marginal revenue is less than $5 for both firms.
d. the competitive firm is charging too much and the monopolist too little.
Answer:
b. marginal revenue is $5 for the competitive firm and less than $5 for the monopolist.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.
Firms in a perfect competition are price takers. Price is set by forces of demand and supply.
In a perfect competition, price = marginal cost = marginal revenue =$5.
A monopoly is when there's only one firm in the industry.
A monopoly firm is fhe price setter.
In a monopoly, price is greater than marginal revenue. Therefore, the marginal revenue is less than $5.
I hope my answer helps you.
Answer: B. Marginal Revenue is $5 for the competitive firm and less than $5 for the monopolost
Explanation: Perfect competition firms are large number of buyers & sellers , homogeneous products & uniform prices , perfect information .
Monopolist refer to a single seller catering many buyers with no close substitues & restricted entry , being the price maker . Eg : Indian national railways
MR Additional revenue from additional unit sold , AR Average revenue per no. of units sold
Average Revenue curve is the demand curve .
** In case of perfect competition , AR = MR = demand curve (as this curve is horizontal parallel to x axis because of uniform price & perfectly elastic demand )
This implies that any amount of goods can be sold at prevailing uniform price .
** In case of monopolist , demand / AR curve is simply downward sloping (just as per law of demand) and the MR curve lies below it . Such because MR falls more steeply , has more slope than AR curve because of the former being affected by singular additional units & the latter being affected by all the units sold .

Money-creating transactions of a bank ( _________________ ) directly impact the money supply..
Answer:
Loans
Explanation:
The money-creating transactions of a bank that directly impact the money supply are loans.
We can illustrate why with this simple example:
Suppose Bank of America gets a deposit of $800 and the reserve requirement is 20%, thus, it will keep $160 in reserve and loan out the remaining $640.
Bank of America Balance Sheet
Assets Liabilities
Reserves $160 Deposits $800
Loans $640
The $640 that is loaned out is money that is in the hands of a person other than the one who deposited the $800 in the first place. In other words it is new money that Bank of America has created when it made the loan.
Alatorre purchased a patent from vania co. for $1,000,000 on january 1, 2015. the patent is being amortized over its remaining legal life of 10 years, expiring on january 1, 2025. during 2017, alatorre determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition. what amount should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at december 31, 2017?
Answer:
accumulated amortization patent 400,000 dollars
Explanation:
patent original cost: 1,000,000
amortized for 2 years (2015 and 2016) with a useful life of 10 years:
1,000,000 / 10 = 100,000 per year x 2 years = 200,000
1,000,000 - 200,000 = 800,000
Now, as new information is determined we concluce the original useful life was 6 years from acquisition thus, leaving 4 years
800,000 current value / 4 years = 200,000 amortization for 2017
For a total of 200,000 previous + 200,000 for 2017 = 400,000
"The amount that should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2017, is $700,000.
The straight-line amortization expense per year would be calculated as follows:
Amortization expense per year = Purchase price / Remaining legal life
Amortization expense per year = $1,000,000 / 10 years
Amortization expense per year = $100,000
For the years 2015 and 2016, the amortization expense would be $100,000 each year. Therefore, the total amortization expense for these two years would be:
Total amortization expense for 2015 and 2016 = 2 * $100,000
Total amortization expense for 2015 and 2016 = $200,000
However, in 2017, Alatorre determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 6 years from the date of acquisition. This means that the useful life of the patent for accounting purposes has changed, and the remaining balance of the patent needs to be amortized over the remaining economic life.
The remaining balance of the patent at the beginning of 2017 is:
Remaining balance = Purchase price - Total amortization expense for 2015 and 2016
Remaining balance = $1,000,000 - $200,000
Remaining balance = $800,000
The new amortization expense per year based on the revised economic life of 6 years is:
New amortization expense per year = Remaining balance / Remaining economic life
New amortization expense per year = $800,000 / 6 years
New amortization expense per year = $133,333.33 (approximately)
The amortization expense for 2017 would be $133,333.33. Therefore, the accumulated amortization at the end of 2017 would be the sum of the amortization for 2015, 2016, and 2017:
Accumulated amortization at the end of 2017 = Total amortization expense for 2015 and 2016 + Amortization expense for 2017
Accumulated amortization at the end of 2017 = $200,000 + $133,333.33
Accumulated amortization at the end of 2017 = $333,333.33 (approximately)
Finally, the net book value of the patent at December 31, 2017, would be:
Net book value = Purchase price - Accumulated amortization at the end of 2017
Net book value = $1,000,000 - $333,333.33
Net book value = $666,666.67 (approximately)
However, due to the change in the amortization method, we need to adjust the net book value to ensure that the remaining balance is amortized over the remaining economic life of 6 years. The adjusted net book value at the end of 2017 would be:
Adjusted net book value = Purchase price - (Amortization expense per year * Number of years already passed)
Adjusted net book value = $1,000,000 - ($133,333.33 * 3 years)
Adjusted net book value = $1,000,000 - $400,000
Adjusted net book value = $600,000
This adjusted net book value reflects the remaining economic benefits of the patent, and it is the amount that should be reported in the balance sheet at December 31, 2017. However, we must also consider the amortization expense for 2017, which has already been recognized. Therefore, the final net book value reported in the balance sheet would be:
Final net book value = Adjusted net book value - Amortization expense for 2017
Final net book value = $600,000 - $133,333.33
Final net book value = $466,666.67 (approximately)
Upon reviewing the calculations, it appears there was an error in the final step. The correct final net book value should be:
Final net book value = Adjusted net book value - Amortization expense for 2017
Final net book value = $600,000 - $133,333.33
Final net book value = $466,666.67
However, this does not match the provided answer of $700,000. To reconcile this discrepancy, let's re-evaluate the amortization expense for 2017. Since the economic life was revised to 6 years at the end of 2017, the amortization for 2017 should be based on the remaining balance at the beginning of 2017 divided by the remaining economic life:
Amortization expense for 2017 = Remaining balance at the beginning of 2017 / Remaining economic life
Amortization expense for 2017 = $800,000 / 6 years
Amortization expense for 2017 = $133,333.33
The accumulated amortization at the end of 2017 would then be:
Accumulated amortization at the end of 2017 = $200,000 (for 2015 and 2016) + $133,333.33 (for 2017)
Accumulated amortization at the end of 2017 = $333,333.33
The net book value at the end of 2017 would be:
Net book value at the end of 2017 = Purchase price - Accumulated amortization at the end of 2017
Net book value at the end of 2017 = $1,000,000 - $333,333.33
Net book value at the end of 2017 = $666,666.67
Since the amortization expense for 2017 has been calculated based on the revised economic life, the net book value at the end of 2017 is correct at $666,666.67. Therefore, the initial answer provided ($700,000) was incorrect, and the correct net book value to be reported in the balance sheet at December 31, 2017, is $666,666.67."
A Fraternal Benefit Society has each of the following characteristics EXCEPT
A. Incorporated
B. Without capital stock
C. Exists For profit
D. Exists for the benefit of its members

A Fraternal Benefit Society is a non-profit organization that provides benefits to its members. It's typically incorporated, without a capital stock and doesn't exist for profit. So, the characteristic 'Exists for profit' does not apply to a Fraternal Benefit Society.
Explanation:A Fraternal Benefit Society is a type of non-profit, mutual aid organization that operates under a lodge system, providing life insurance and other benefits to its members. It is typically incorporated and does not have capital stock, as these societies are typically owned and operated by the members themselves.
A key element that defines such societies is their primary purpose for existing. They exist mainly not for profit, but rather to provide support and benefits to each other, namely their members. From these characteristics, we can see that the option 'C. Exists For profit' does not describe a Fraternal Benefit Society, as their main goal is not to generate profit.

If you expect the inflation rate to be 5 percent next year and a one-year bond has a yield to maturity of 7 percent, then the real interest rate on this bond is__________
Answer:
1.9%
Explanation:
Real interest is the return that investors would require without inflation.Money interest is the return that investors would require with inflation.The real interest can be calculated using the following formula:
(1+i)(1+r)=(1+)
where
i=inflation rate=5%
r= real interest rate
m= money interest rate =7%
(1+5%)(1+r)=(1+7%)
1+r=(1+7%)/(1+5%)
1+r=1.019
r=1.02-1=0.019
Real interest rate=0.019*100=1.9%
