Answer:
first part
Return on equity = net income / equity =
net income = total revenue - expenses = $66,500 - $42,700 (salaries) - $6,900 (utilities) - $8,000 (supplies) - $1,675 (depreciation) - $2,700 (taxes) = $4,525
equity = $153,200 (Dec. 31 balance) + $42,000 (new stocks issued) - $20,000 (treasury stocks) - $3,620 (dividends) + 17,600 (treasury stocks sold) + $4,525 (net income) = $193,705
ROE = $4,525 / $193,705 = 2.34%
The company is less profitable than other companies in the same industry.
second part

Answer:
d. $45.000 loss on disposal.
Explanation:
a. $84000 gain on disposal. b. $84000 loss on disposal. c. $230000 loss on disposal. d. $45.000 loss on disposal.
Book Value on the Date of sale = Cost - Accumulated Depreication -Current year Depreciation
Book Value on the Date of sale = $354,000 - $146,000 - $39,000
Book Value on the Date of sale = $169,000
Gain (Loss) on disposal of the Asset= Selling Price - Book Value
Gain (Loss) on disposal of the Asset = $124,000 - $169,000
Loss on disposal of the Asset = $45,000

Explanation:
Flexible pricing is when there is room for negotiation of prices of a product between the buyers and sellers.
So the price is prone to change in short amount of time.
Sticky price on the other hand tends to be non negotiable and the does not change over time.in the given scenario prices for airline tickets change on average about once per month.

Assume you just deposited $1,000 into a bank account. The current real interest rate is 7.00% and inflation is expected to be 8.00% over the next year. What nominal interest rate would you require from the bank over the next year? How much money will you have at the end of one year? If you are saving to buy fancy bicycle that currently sells for $1,050, will you have enough money to buy it?
Answer:
a) The nominal interest rate that I would require from the bank over the next year is 15%.
b) At the end of one year, I will have $1,150.
c) If I am saving to buy a fancy bicycle that currently sells for $1,050, I will have enough money ($1,150) to buy it. It will be costing $1,134 ($1,050 * 1.08) with inflation rate of 8% in one year's time.
Explanation:
The nominal interest rate (15%) is higher than the real interest rate (7%) when inflation is positive because the real interest rate is adjusted for inflation (at 8%). The real interest rate is the rate without inflation while the nominal interest rate factors in the inflation rate.
