Answer:
56.67%
Explanation:
Purchase cost = 30 dollars
Margin x price = 0.60x30 = $18
30-18 = $12
Profit = $47 - $30 - 0.07(12)
= 16.16
Percentage earned = (16.16 /18) * 100
= 89.78%
Profit from the trade
= 47-30
= 17
Percentage earned = 17/30 * 100
= 56.67%
The return would have been 56 67% if the investor had not done this.

3. Tim writes a check for $1,299= Medium of Exchange
Explanation:
Money is countable and can be used to value exchanges and calculate profits and losses, income and expenses, and debts and wealth. It can also be stored currently, retrieved at a later date, and exchanged for value in the future without significant loss of value. Money facilitates transactions between parties.
Even if a stock split has no information content, and even if the dividend per share adjusted for the split is not increased, there can still be a real benefit (i.e., a higher value for shareholders) from such a split, but any such benefit is probably small. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Stock split is used to increase number of shares floating in the market. In this strategy current shares are increased by issuing more shares to current shareholders. This increases the number of shares which each shareholders holds while value of total shares remains the same.

At Cool Clothes Inc., there is a total focus on providing care and satisfaction to each customer. In the major clients division, each manager is assigned three employees to supervise, whereas in the product assembly division, each manager supervises about 15 employees. The major clients division managers can be described as having _____, as opposed to _____ for the product assembly division managers.
Answer: a narrow span of control; a wide span of control
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the major clients division managers can be described as having a narrow span of control, as opposed to a wide span of control for the product assembly division managers.
The span of control simply means the number of subordinates that are under the direct control and supervised by a certain manager.
Since we are informed that while in the major clients division, every manager is assigned three employees to supervise, whereas in the product assembly division, each manager supervises about 15 employees, then product assembly division managers has a wide span of control.
A bill was introduced into Congress last year suggesting changes to the income tax code. Congress now passed this new tax reform act in the last session and over the next few years the new laws will begin to impact the nation. This is an example of what type of policy
Answer:
Macroeconomic fiscal policy.
Explanation:
Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.

Compton Company expects the following total sales: Month Sales March $ 37,000 April $ 27,000 May $ 21,000 June $ 32,000 The company expects 70% of its sales to be credit sales and 30% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 25% in the month of sale, 75% in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is:
Answer:
$11,025
Explanation:
From May sales, Total Credit sales = $21,000*70% = $14,700
Cash Collected in May (for sales) = Total Credit sales * 25%
Cash Collected in May = $14,700*25%
Cash Collected in May = $3,675
Accounts Receivables Balance = Total Credit sales (May) - Cash Collected in May
Accounts Receivables Balance = $14,700 - $3,675
Accounts Receivables Balance = $11,025
So, the budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is $11,025.
Cox (1997) has argued that the concept of the supply chain is insufficient and that it can on
be fully understood when it is mapped with a parallel value chain.
Answer:
Due to lack of practical approaches and avoidance of normal or location-scale distributions factors, a real parallel value chain is required
Explanation:
Remaining part of Question
Justify
Solution
According to Cox there was a difference in making theoretical decision as it takes into account only normal or location-scale distributions which implies that less money is preferred over more. Several measures such as variance, standard deviation, expected or absolute values of deviation in financial engineering and financial risk management of a supply chain poses it to the downside risk and hence there is a need of parallel value chain

Answer:
a. The marginal cost of producing the 25^th item is $100.
b. This means that the cost of production increase by about $100; when we add one unit to a production level of 25 units.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The cost to produce q items is C(q) = 1000 + 2q^2 dollars. Find the marginal cost of producing the 25th item. Interpret your answer in terms of costs.
The marginal cost of producing the 25^th item is $_______.
This means that the cost of production _____ by about ________; when we add one unit to a production level of _____ units.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a. Find the marginal cost of producing the 25th item.
Given:
C(q) = 1000+2q^2 …………… (1)
Taking the derivative of equation (1) with respect q to obtain the marginal cost function as follows:
MC(q) = C’(q)= 4q ………………….. (2)
Substituting q = 25 into equation (2), we obtain the marginal cost (MC) of producing the 25th item as follows:
MC(25) = 4 * 25 = $100
Therefore, the marginal cost of producing the 25^th item is $100.
b. Interpret your answer in terms of costs.
This means that the cost of production increase by about $100; when we add one unit to a production level of 25 units.
You are the owner of a local organic food market in an urban area at the crossroads of four farming communities that supply fresh, organic foods. As the owner of the market, you are interested in growing the business. Customers in the area have been asking local vendors for more organic and locally sourced fresh food options. You decide to create a catering service for clients within 25 miles of the market to celebrate the market’s 10-year anniversary. You plan to start this catering business in 30 days to address the increasing market need for organic, fresh catering. Catering orders will be prepared and packaged at the organic food market and then driven to the customer’s location. Lunch orders will be delivered within 60 minutes of receiving the order. Special event catering orders will require one week to fulfill the order. The catering company has one van that will be used exclusively for catering services.
You have identified the following goals for this catering business:
• The catering business will need to be able to sell the same quality, organic foods that are sold in-store and supplied daily.
• The catering customers can be no farther than 25 miles from the store so that food can be delivered within an hour.
• The catering business should be profitable within one year.
• The cost of developing the catering business should not negatively impact the in-store retail operations budget, staffing, events, and farmer partnerships.
You plan to launch the catering business by providing a free catered lunch to the first 10 businesses that subscribe to the weekly lunch catering services. The catered lunch for each business will be for up to 30 people and will be held at a local conference center ballroom at noon on a day of the customer’s choosing. The budget for this launch of 10 catered lunches is $7,000. Two weeks before the launch, you are working with catering staff to calculate the costs of the launch to date, review tasks that need to be completed, and assess the overall impact of catering on in-store retail operations. You learn that the costs associated with the launch of the free catered lunches have already exceeded $7,700. Additionally, a local farmer that provides the fresh lettuce for lunch salads notifies you that the lettuce will not be available in time for the catered lunch. No other local farmers have lettuce available for purchase, and the only option is to use nonorganic lettuce in order to keep the menu as communicated to the 10 businesses subscribing to the weekly lunch catering services. A financial company representative wants to inquire about possibly financing your company for this project. The representative sends a request for information to you as listed in the requirements for this task.

At a firm's quarterly dividend meeting held on December 5, the directors declared a $1.50 per share cash dividend to be paid to the holders of record on Monday, January 1. Before the dividend was declared, the firm's accumulated retained earnings balance and cash balance were $1,280,000 and $30,000 respectively. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On January 2, the cash, dividends payable, and retained earnings accounts had balances of ________.
Answer: $15,000, $0, and $1,265,000, respectively
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the total amount of dividend will be:
= Outstanding shares × Dividend
= 10000 × $1.50
= $15000
Amount of cash balance will be:
= Ending cash balance - Dividend
= $30000 - $15000
= $15000
Dividend payable will be:

In evaluating the profit center manager, the income from operations should be compared a.across profit centers b.to historical performance or budget c.to the competitor's net income d.to the total company earnings per share
Answer: to historical performance or budget
Explanation:
A profit center in a business is a division that is able to make revenues independently and contribute to the revenue of the entire business. In evaluating the performance of a profit center manager, it is best to compare the performance to a budget or their historical performance.
This is because profit centers engage in different businesses and so their revenue making style will be unique. Some profit centers will make more than others because of the goods they produce or the way they produce it. It is therefore best to compare a profit center to an internal measure such as the budget and historical performance.
If the profit center exceeds either of these then they are performing well.
During the 1990s, several airlines were on the brink of bankruptcy. These same airlines were giving away millions of dollars in free airline travel through their frequent-flyer programs. Do you think it would have been a good idea for these airlines to eliminate their frequent-flyer programs in order to earn higher profits?
Answer:
Assuming that the elimination of frequent-flyer programs would have enabled the airlines to earn higher profits and remain in business, then it would be a purely good idea for the airlines to eliminate their frequent-flyer programs.
The big question is, how much did the frequent-flyer programs cost the airlines? Would the cost-savings be sufficient to eliminate their bankruptcies? It is a known-fact that the airlines that create such programs always recover the program costs by charging higher fares.
Explanation:
The issue of airlines going bankruptcy does not seem to stem from customer-loyalty programs like the frequent-flyer programs. The root cause lies in operational and other costs that airline managements have not been able to control.
Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $205,000 per year forever with the first payment 12 years from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 4 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today?
Answer:
PV= $3,201,059.88
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual cash flow= $205,000
First payment= 12 years from today
Interest rate= 4%
First, we need to calculate the value of the account 12 years from today. We need to use the following formula:
FV= Cf/ i
FV= 205,000 / 0.04
FV= $5,125,000
Now, the amount to be deposited today:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 5,125,000 / (1.04^12)
PV= $3,201,059.88

You decide to make quality improvements in order to build brand esteem. brian's the site manager is in charge of general operations and employee management, first suggestion for achieving this goal is to fill upcoming staff openings with vet tech; they will cost at least 10% more than current caregivers, but would add strong, tangible evidence of quality. they could wear special name tags to inform customers that they are canine health care professionals.
Another option is to introduce one or more high quality, tangible new products. this approach is riskier beacuse it involves a large upfront investment in inventory and because you have limited experience in retail marketing. but a product development or product diversification strategy would have potential to boost revenues while reinforcing both brand esteem and brand recognition.
how should caninecare ehance its percieved quality?
Answer:
Canine Healthcare Company
The combination of the two approaches will skyrocket Canine's brand image more than a single strategy. However, the employment of the vet technicians seems like a logical short-term measure.

VL= [EBIT(1 − TC) / R0] + TCB
Let plug in the formula
VL= [$1,010,000(1 − .35) / .15] + .35($1,990,000)
VL=[$1,010,000(0.65)/.15]+696,500
VL=($656,500/.15)+$696,500
VL=$4,376,666.67+$696,500
VL= $5,073,166.67

A director who becomes involved in litigation because of his or her position has no right to be indemnified for the costs. a. True b. False
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
