False Facts that cost Money!
Watts =
1.) What is the formula?
2.) What are Watts?
1.) Watts = Volts × Amps
2.) a measure of power or consumption; electrical usage is measured in watts
Ex. Cousin Wattson, was appalled at my consumption, and wasn’t sure what his parents Volts and Amps were doing.
AMPS =
1.) What is the formula?
2.) What are Watts?
1.) Amps = Watts ÷ Volts
2.) A measure of the rate of current FLOW or quantity of electricity per unit of time; the service capacity of a house is measured in amperes (amps)
EX. Aunt Ampy was teaching me about my period, by explaining my FLOW.
Volts =
1.) What are Volts?
1.) a measure of electrical potential or PRESSURE of current flow.
Uncle Volt, was going to get tampons and needed to know the PRESSURE of flow to know what size to get.
As one lowers a discount (or expected yield) rate, the present value of a given series of future payments does which of the following?
- It decreases.
- It could go up or down depending on the timing of the payments.
- It increases.
- It remains constant.
Option (3) is correct because the payments of a loan contract are calculated based on a contract yield rate. If the discount, or expected yield rate decreases, the present value of the given contracted payments increases.
Options (1), (2), and (4) are incorrect for this reason.
Ex.
You can visualize this concept by thinking about it in terms of the time value of money. When the discount rate is lowered, it means that the value of money in the future is worth more in present terms. Therefore, the present value of future payments increases because those future payments are now considered more valuable in present terms.
For example, if you have a series of future payments that are discounted at a lower rate, it means that those payments are worth more to you now than they would be if the discount rate was higher. This is why the present value of the future payments increases when the discount rate is lowered.
You can also use financial calculators or spreadsheets to perform calculations and see how the present value of future payments changes as you adjust the discount rate. This can help you visualize the concept in a more concrete way.

Which one of the following BEST describes shareholders’ equity?
- Share capital plus retained earnings
- Retained earnings plus dividends
- Share capital plus retained earnings plus dividends
- Net income less dividends
Option 1:
The best description of shareholders’ equity is “share capital plus retained earnings.”
This is because the shareholders’ equity section on a corporation’s balance sheet consists of two main accounts: share capital, which represents the amount invested by shareholders in the company, and retained earnings, which are the accumulated profits of the company that have not been distributed to shareholders as dividends.
The other options provided are incorrect because they either include dividends, which are not part of shareholders’ equity, or do not accurately represent the components of shareholders’ equity.
