Explanation:
Simple interest means the same amount will be paid as interest per year.
We will use the following formula to solve for Olivia's interest after 7 years.
Interest = principal* interest rate* time
Principal= $800
Interest rate= 6.2%
Time= 7 years
Interest= 800* 0.062* 7
Interest= $347.20
So the total money owed to Olivia is = 800+ 347.20= $1,147.20

Comly Communications issues a $600,000, 10%, 20-year mortgage note on January 1. The terms provide for annual installment payments of $69,932, exclusive of real estate taxes and insurance. After the first installment payment, the principal balance is:________
a. 530,068.
b. $600,000.
c. $590,068.
d. $565,034
Answer:
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
The amount would be:
Amount = Issued Amount × Interest rate
= $600,000 × 10%
= $60,000
So, the interest would be $60,000, this amount to be paid on year end.
But the installment payment is of $69,932
Balance amount = $69,932 - $60,000
= $9,932
The first installment is of amount $60,000. So, the principal balance would be:
Principal balance = Amount - Balance amount
= $600,000 - $9,932
= $590,068
list the various elements of fraud within the organization. give several examples of each
Answer:
MotiveRationalizationOpportunityExplanation:
Fraud is a point of concern in the business world and creates a trust deficit. There are 3 elements of fraud and one may identify each of them in every fraud situation.
Motive: Each person has an individual needs and desires which they want to be fulfilled but some people can't make it up because of the current role they have, so they go for the second or illegal option to solve their problems. Take an example of a cashier, he wants to have a car and a house but for that, he has to work 24/7 till 20 years continuously so which is difficult to do, so he chooses to steal the owner's money.Rationalization: It gets hard when some people think that whatever they are doing is not wrong although it is. For example, a stockbroker may think that it's not illegal to deceive an investor however it is. Opportunity: The 2 elements mentioned above can't be controlled by an organization for they are personal and an individual's choices, but this is in the control of the organization and it occurs when an organization loses control. So whenever an employee finds an opportunity to fraud he will. For example, an employee in the customer services centre works hard when the boss is looking but watches tv shows when he is not around.If the print media is taken over by the electronic media, thereby causing employees in the print media industry to be permanently laid off, ________ unemployment would increase.

A bond that pays interest forever and has no maturity date is a perpetual bbond, also called a perpetuity or a consol. In what respect is a perpetual bond similar to 1) a no-growth common stock and 2) a share of preferred stock?
Answer: A perpetual bond is similar to a no growth stock and a share of preferred stock as they all derive their values from a series of cash inflows.
Explanation: A perpetual bond is a bond with no maturity date. Issuers pay COUPONS on them forever. This represents the cash inflows.
In the same vein, both a no-growth stock and share of preferred stock derive their values from a series of cash inflows called DIVIDENDS.
A perpetual bond is similar to no-growth common stock and preferred stock because they provide consistent returns without growth prospects; their valuation also reflects a constant yield. For both types of stocks and perpetual bonds, present value calculations consider these consistent payment streams.
Explanation:A perpetual bond, also known as a perpetuity or consol, is a bond that pays interest forever without a maturity date. This financial instrument is similar to 1) a no-growth common stock because neither the perpetual bond nor the no-growth stock will increase in value from growth; they both provide a consistent stream of income indefinitely. 2) A share of preferred stock often has a fixed dividend, which is similar to the fixed interest payment of a perpetual bond, also known as coupon payments.
Moreover, the valuation of a perpetual bond can be described using the formula V = 1/r, assuming the rate of return (r) is constant. This formula highlights the similarity between perpetual bonds and certain stocks with constant payments. In the case of no-growth common stocks, the expectancy of dividends to remain the same reinforces their resemblance to a consol's fixed interest payments. Preferred stock comparisons arise from the nature of preferred dividends, which, like consol payments, are typically fixed and paid out prior to any common stock dividends.

Knowledge Check 01 Future Corporation has a single product; the product selling price is $100 and variable costs are $60. The company's fixed expenses are $10,000. What is the company's break-even point in sales dollars? A. $25,000 B. $2,500 C. $250 D. $16,667
Answer:
The company's break-even point in sales dollars is A. $25,000
Explanation:
The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:
Break-even point in units = Fixed expense/(Selling price per unit-Variable expense per unit) = $10,000/($100-$60) = $10,000/$40 = 250 units
Break-even point in sales dollars = Break-even point in units x Selling price per unit = 250 x $100 = $25,000
Answer:
A. $25,000
Explanation:
Break even point is the level of production at which the costs incurred in production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula;
Break-Even Point (sales dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin ratio
where,
Contribution Margin ratio = (selling Price – Variable Costs)/selling price
Given;
Selling price per unit = $100
variable cost per unit = $60
Fixed cost = $10,000
Contribution margin ratio = ($100 - $60)/$100
= 0.4
Break-Even Point (sales dollars) = $10,000/0.4
= $25,000
Manuel has plans to go to a movie and already has a $10 nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable ticket. Now Poornima, whom Manuel has wanted to date for a long time, asks him to a concert. Manuel would prefer to go to the concert with Poornima and forgo the movie, but he doesn't want to waste the $10 he spent on the movie ticket.
From the perspective of an economist, if Manuel decides to go to the movie, what has he just done?
1. Incorrectly allowed a sunk cost to influence his decision
2. Made an optimal choice
3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost
Answer:
3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost
Explanation:
Sunk costs refer to those costs which have been incurred in the past and which can no longer be recovered. For example, past expenditure on research and development with no current or future benefits represent sunk costs which can no longer be recovered.
Sunk costs are irrelevant for decision making process as they do not relate to current projects and yield no economic benefit.
In the given case, Manuel had already purchased a $10 movie ticket, which can neither be transferred nor eligible for a refund. Later when he does not exercise the option of going for the movie and opts for a concert instead, the amount of 10$ spent on the movie represents a sunk cost which is non recoverable.
Final answer:
From an economist's view, Manuel should focus on the marginal costs and benefits of current and future options, rather than the sunk cost of the movie ticket.
Explanation:
From the perspective of an economist, if Manuel chooses to attend the movie instead of going to the concert with Poornima, he is allowing a sunk cost to improperly influence his decision. The $10 he spent on the movie ticket is a sunk cost, which means it has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. His decision should be based on the comparative benefits of the current options he has: either the experience of watching the movie or the enjoyment and potential relationship benefits of going to the concert. Since he prefers to go on the date with Poornima, going to the movie would not be an optimal choice. The economist's advice would be to ignore the sunk cost of the movie ticket and attend the concert, as that would provide greater utility to Manuel.
If a taxpayer is filing H/H and qualifies for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit, what percent of the contribution would qualify if the AGI is $29,000?
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Adjusted gross income (AGI) is the amount arrived at after some specific allowable deductions have been deducted from the total gross income.
The Retirement Savings Contributions Credit now called the Savers Credit provides a special tax break to those who are saving for retirement and in the low-income and moderate-income taxpayers category.
The amount to deduct depends on the AGI and how regularly the individual files tax returns. The rate of tax credit which is not refundable is 10%, 20% or 50% of the first $2,000 the parson contributed to a retirement account during the year.
The table for 2019 AGI shows that a single filler with the income range of $20,751-$32,000 can have a 10% savers credit.
Since the tax payer is a single filler, he is therefore qualified for 10% of his AGI of $29,000 which $2,900.

You are planning your retirement and you come to the conclusion that you need to have saved $1000000million in 30 years. You can invest into an retirement account that guarantees you a 12% annual return. How much do you have to put into your account at the end of each year to reach your retirement goal?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $4,143.66
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You need to have saved $1,000,000 in 30 years. You can invest in a retirement account that guarantees you a 12% annual return.
To calculate the annual deposit needed to achieve the objective, we need to use the following formula:

I and III onlyc. III onlyd. None of the above
Answer:
C. III only
Explanation:
Option III states An investment in stock that Misk does not intend to sell in the near future. Which of above securities purchased by Misk should be classified as available-for-sale securities?
The choice of this option alone is based on the reasoning that Available for Sale (AFS) Securities are usually presented based on their fair values. As such an increase in investment will be needed when the Fair value exceeds is more than the cost of the securities.
The other effect of the transaction of Misk Co is that it will lead to an increase in other comprehensive income.
Securities purchased by Misk Co. are classified based on their intent and ability to sell. Debt securities held for quick turnover are trading securities, Treasury bonds held until maturity are held-to-maturity securities, while a stock investment planned for long-term holding but not until maturity is classified as available-for-sale securities. Hence, 'III. An investment in a stock that Misk does not intend to sell in the near future is classified as available-for-sale securities.
Explanation:The securities purchased by Misk Co. can be classified into held-to-maturity securities, trading securities, and available-for-sale securities based on their intent and ability to sell.
I. Debt securities bought and held for the purposes of reselling in the near future. These are classified as trading securities because they are bought with the intention of reselling them in the near future to earn profit from price changes.
II. U.S. Treasury bonds that Misk intends and is able to hold to maturity. These are deemed as held-to-maturity securities because the investor intends to and is capable of holding these until their maturity date.
III. An investment in a stock that Misk does not intend to sell in the near future. These are termed available-for-sale securities because they are neither intended to be sold in the near term (like trading securities) nor held until maturity (as with held-to-maturity securities). They can be sold if necessary, but that is not the primary intention.
Therefore, based on the above classification, the answer to the question, 'Which of the above securities purchased by Misk should be classified as available-for-sale securities?' is (c.) III only.

One characteristic of Internet recruiting is:_________ Select one: a. Screens out job "browsers" b. Produces a wider applicant pool c. More expensive than newspaper advertising d. Delays applicant responses
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Produces a wider applicant pool.
Explanation:
Nowadays most job positions are offered online. It is easier for companies to publish their openings on a web page and wait for applicants to massively submit their resumes. This process serves as a screening of the recruiting process since the most prospective individuals can be selected and all those whose profile does not match with what the company is looking for can be discarded.
Final answer:
Internet recruiting is characterized by its ability to produce a wider applicant pool, making job postings accessible to a global audience and increasing candidate diversity.
Explanation:
One characteristic of Internet recruiting is that it produces a wider applicant pool. Unlike traditional methods such as newspaper advertising, the internet makes it possible for job postings to reach a global audience, thereby increasing the number and diversity of applicants. Additionally, platforms like LinkedIn facilitate networking and make it easier for job seekers to find and apply for jobs, thus broadening the pool of candidates from which employers can select. Online recruiting provides access to extensive job market information, allows for faster communication, and makes it easier for employers to find suitable candidates, potentially reducing the time and costs associated with the hiring process.
A landlord is renting out an apartment and has three prospective tenants. The first tenant is willing to pay $1200/month, the second tenant is willing to pay $3000/month, and the third tenant is willing to pay $2000/month. Each potential tenant knows the valuations of the other tenants. Of the following methods of renting the apartment, which would generate the greatest revenue?
a. A sealed first-price auction
b. A sealed second-price (Vickrey) auction
c. A fixed price of $1900/month
d. A fixed price of $2200/month
Answer:
d. A fixed price of $2200/month.
Explanation:
A landlord is an owner of the house or property which is rented to a person called Tenant on lease or rent. The landlord in the question is renting an apartment. He has 3 Potential Tenants who are willing to rent his property. The greatest revenue will be generated if the apartment is rent out to the second tenant who is willing to pay $3000 per month. The revenue of the landlord will maximize if he uses option D to rent out his apartment. A fixed price of $2200 will generate greatest revenue.
The method that would generate the greatest revenue for the landlord is a sealed first-price auction, which could yield a revenue slightly below $3000/month.
The question asks which method of renting an apartment would generate the greatest revenue for a landlord with three prospective tenants with different valuations. The options are: a sealed first-price auction, a sealed second-price (Vickrey) auction, a fixed price of $1900/month, and a fixed price of $2200/month.
In a sealed first-price auction, each tenant would bid according to their valuation, and the highest bidder would win at the price they bid. Here, the second tenant would likely win by bidding slightly above $2000 (the next highest valuation), generating a revenue close to $3000/month for the landlord.
In a sealed second-price (Vickrey) auction, the highest bidder wins but pays the second-highest bid. Since the tenants know each other's valuations, the second tenant might bid their true valuation, $3000, and win at the third tenant's bid of $2000/month.
A fixed price of $1900/month would result in the second tenant renting the apartment, generating less revenue than the potential $2000 in the Vickrey auction. A fixed price of $2200/month would be above two tenant's valuations, and likely result in no transaction as none would be willing to rent at that price.

Your venture has net income of $600,000 taxable income of $1,000,000 operating profit of $1,200,000 total financial capital including both debt and equity of $9,000,000 a tax rate of 40%, and a WACC of 10%. What is your venture’s EVA?
Answer:
EVA = -$180,000
Explanation:
given data
net income = $600,000
taxable income of $1,000,000
operating profit = $1,200,000
total financial capital = $9,000,000
tax rate = 40%
WACC = 10%
solution
we get here EVA that is express as
EVA = NOPAT - Invested Capital × WACC ..................1
and here
NOPAT = EBIT × ( 1 - Tax Rate ) .........2
put here value
NOPAT = operating profit × (1 - Tax Rate)
NOPAT =$1,200,000 × (1 - 0.40)
NOPAT =$720,000
so put in equation 1 we get
EVA = NOPAT - Invested Capital × WACC
EVA = $720,000 - $9,000,000 × 10%
EVA = -$180,000

Answer:
Yas tax revenue depend on elasticity of demand curve.
Explanation:
first of all we need to understand that inelastic demand curve means in which increase or decreases of price don't change consumption pattern of consumer, however elastic demand meant in which increases or decreases price effect consumption behavior, this depend whether commodity or good is necessity or luxurious good. so if demand is inelastic government can impose and earn more revenue from that good on other hand to impose tax on elastic commodities government cannot earn profit and there is less margin.

As a capital gain taxed at the long-term tax rate
As a capital gain taxed at the current ordinary-income tax rate
Answer:
The gain will be treated as a capital gain taxed at the long-term tax rate.
Explanation:
Capital gain tax is paid on profit derived from selling an investment asset, like stock or bond. Under the tax law, capital gain can be taxed either at a long-term tax rate or current ordinary-income tax rate.
For a capital gain to be taxed at the long-term tax rate, the investment must have been held for more than one year and above. The tax rate under the long term range from 0% to 20%.
For the a capital gain to be taxed at the current ordinary-income tax rate, the investment must be held less than one year. When this occur,the capital gain is taxed at the ordinary income tax rate because the gain is assumed to be part of the taxable income for the year.
In the case of Tund Corp, the capital gain will be taxed at long term tax rate of 0% to 20% because the investment is held more than a year.

Answer:
Arthur's fixed costs are $952
Explanation:
The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:
Break-even point in units = Fixed costs/(Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)
Fixed costs = Break-even point in units x (Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)
In Arthur, Break-even point in units = $1,460/$23
Fixed costs = $1,460/$23 x ($23 - $8) = $952
The fixed cost for Arthur's crafts miniature chocolate dollhouses is $952.
