Gray and Stone will serve as the senior partners because of their years of experience. To establish the business, Gray, Stone, and Lawson contribute cash and other properties valued at $410,000, $340,000, and $170,000, respectively. An articles of partnership agreement is drawn up. It has the following stipulations:
Personal drawings are allowed annually up to an amount equal to 10 percent of the beginning capital balance for the year.
Profits and losses are allocated according to the following plan:
1. A salary allowance is credited to each partner in an amount equal to $8 per billable hour worked by that individual during the year.
2. Interest is credited to the partners’ capital accounts at the rate of 12 percent of the average monthly balance for the year (computed without regard for current income or drawings).
3. An annual bonus is to be credited to Gray and Stone. Each bonus is to be 10 percent of net income after subtracting the bonus, the salary allowance, and the interest. Also included in the agreement is the provision that there will be no bonus if there is a net loss or if salary and interest result in a negative remainder of net income to be distributed.

Prosecutors representing the Securities and Exchange Commission recentlyannounced criminal charges against 13 individuals for engaging in insidertrading. According to the SECs director of enforcement, a trading ring acting on inside information compromises the marketsintegrity and investorstrust. . . . Explain why.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Insider trading compromises the integrity of the market because insider investors have non-public information about the stocks of the company that could very much impact the value of the stock of the company. In other words, an insider knows what the public doesn't know about a company and it allows him an unfair advantage to trade the stocks of the company using this information and make large unusual profit. This could lead to market collapse as investors are no longer encouraged to invest seeing that they can't trust that the market is transparent and trustworthy(they don't have all the important information that would affect the company)

Answers

Answer:

a, a movement along a demand curve

b. shift of the demand curve.

c. a movement along a demand curve

d. shift of the demand curve.

Explanation:

Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.

Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :

1. a change in consumers' expectation

2. a change in the taste of consumers

3. a change in income

a. A discount would reduce the price of furniture, as a result the quantity demanded would increase. There would be a movement down along the demand curve.

b. As a result of the increase in grant, the income of students increase. this would lead to an increase in demand. the demand curve would shift outward

c. As a result of higher prices, the quantity demanded of detergents would reduce. This would lead to a movement up along the demand curve for detergents

d. An increase in demand for energy drinks is as a result of a change in taste. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve

The equity section of Cyril Corporation’s balance sheet shows the following. Preferred stock—6% cumulative, $25 par value, 10,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 250,000 Common stock—$8 par value, 100,000 shares issued and outstanding 800,000 Retained earnings 535,000 Total stockholders’ equity $ 1,585,000 Determine the book value per share of common stock under two separate situations. 1. No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date. 2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.

Answers

Answer:

1. No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.

Book value per share of common stock = Common Shareholder equity / Number of common stock shares

= (Total shareholders equity - Preferred stock) / Number of common stock shares

= (1,585,000 - 250,000) / 100,000

= $13.35 per share

2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.

Preferred stock = (Preferred stock + Accumulated dividends)

= 250,000 + (6% * 250,000 * 3 years)

= 295,000 shares

Book value per share of common stock = (1,585,000 - 295,000) / 100,000

= $12.90 per share

The maturity risk premium is 0% for securities with maturities of 1 year or less, 0.1% in year 2, and increases by 0.1% per year thereafter. What is the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond

Answers

Answer:

8.3%

Explanation:

Real risk - free rate of interest ( k* ) = 4%

Inflation for next four ( 4 ) years = 2% per year

Inflation rate after four years = 5%

maturity risk premium =  0.1 ( t - 1 )%

Determine Yield on a 10-year Treasury bond

t = bond's maturity

Yield = Real risk - free rate + maturity risk premium + inflation rate

Inflation rate for 10 years = ( 4  + 30 ) / 10  ) % = 3.4%

Yield = 4% + 0.1(10- 1)% + 3.4

         = 4% + 0.9% + 3.4%

         = 8.3%

So sánh xuất khẩu trực tiếp và xuất khẩu gián tiếp?

Answers

Answer:

so sánh  về  mặt ưu và nhược :

Explanation:

* Ưu điểm

- Xuất khẩu trực tiếp: Thông qua việc đàm phán, trao đổi trực tiếp với các đơn vị mà đôi bên có thể dễ dàng đi đến thống nhất chung, ít xảy ra các hiểu lầm, do đó mà:

·        Tăng lợi nhuận và doanh thu cho doanh nghiệp vì giảm thiểu được chi phí tối đa cho các bên trung gian.

·        Tạo điều kiện phát huy tính độc lập của doanh nghiệp

·        Chủ động, tích cực trong việc tiêu thụ hàng hóa, sản phẩm do chính doanh nghiệp sản xuất ra.

- Xuất khẩu gián tiếp:

·        Đơn vị đứng ra nhận ủy thác thực hiện nhiệm vụ xuất khẩu hàng hóa là nhưng người hiểu rõ và nắm chắc tình hình thị trường, các thủ tục pháp luật, do đó việc buôn bán được đẩy mạnh hơn, phát triển nhanh hơn.

·        Đơn vị nhận ủy thác không cần bỏ vốn vào kinh doanh nhưng vẫn có được một khoản doanh thu đáng kể.

* Nhược điểm:

- Xuất khẩu trực tiếp:

·        Chi phí thực hiện cho việc giao dịch khá cao bởi vậy khối lượng hàng hóa xuất khẩu cũng phải lớn bù đắp các chi phí.

·        Dễ xảy ra rủi ro bởi nếu đội ngũ nhân viên không đủ trình độ và kinh nghiệm xử lý công việc, thực hiện các thủ tục hợp đồng sẽ có thể mắc phải các sai lầm đáng tiếc.

- Xuất khẩu gián tiếp:

·        Đơn vị xuất nhập khẩu có thể mất đi sự liên kết với thị trường do phải đáp ứng các chính sách, yêu cầu của đơn vị trung gian.

·        Lợi nhuận không trọn gói và phải sẻ chia cho đơn vị trung gian.

How you can convince your colleagues that introducing the new soft drink is the most profitable strategy by explaining the reasoning and theoretical analysis?

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the leading competitors in the market for cola products. In 1960 Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, which today is the worldwide leader in the lemon-lime soft drink market and ranks fourth among all soft drinks worldwide. Prior to 1999, PepsiCo did not have a product that competed directly against Sprite and had to decide whether to introduce such a soft drink. By not introducing a lemon-lime drink, PepsiCo would continue to earn a $200 million profit and Coca Cola would continue to earn a $300 million profit.

Suppose that by introducing a new lemon-line soft drink, one of two possible strategies could be pursued : (1) PepsiCo could trigger a price war with Coca-Cola in both lemon-lime and cola markets or (2) Coca-Cola could acquiesce and each firm maintains its current 50/50 split of the cola market and split the lemon-lime market 70/30 in favor of Coca-Cola. If Pepsi introduced a lemon-lime drink and a price war resulted, both companies would earn profits of $100 million. Alternatively, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would earn $275 million and $227 million, respectively, if PepsiCo introduce a lemon-lime drink and Coca-Cola acquiesced and split the markets as listed above.

Diagram this situation using the extensive or tree-form of a game.

How you can convince your colleagues that introducing the new soft drink is the most profitable strategy by explaining the reasoning and theoretical analysis?

Solution :

The game can be represented in a way that is shown in the file attached below.

The [tex]\text{best response of Coca-Cola}[/tex] if Pepsi introduces the new product is [tex]\text{to acquiesce}[/tex] to earn [tex]\$275[/tex] million rather than starting a price war with Coca-Cola and earn only [tex]\$100[/tex]. Thus, while [tex]\text{Coca-Cola}[/tex] might use the strategy to threaten by starting a price war in the attempt of keeping out of the market, the threat will not be credible, so the best option is to introduce the new soft drink .

Based on recent statistics, which of the following individuals would have the lowest probability of being unemployed?
a. a 45-year-old white male.
b. a 50-year-old white female.
c. a 32-year-old African American female.
d. a 19-year-old African American male.
e. a 17-year-old white female.

Answers

Answer:

a. a 45-year-old white male.

Explanation:

Middle aged white males have the lowest unemployment rate in the United States. Employment ratios for white and asian men are approximately the same,  72.8%, which is higher than any other demographic group. Besides the normal prejudices that exist in society, these two groups also have the highest average education level (i.e. more college years)

Suppose the civilian noninstitutionalized working-age population is 35.9 million in in a hypothetical economy. Of these, 4.4 million are working part-time and 13.19 million are working full-time. Assume the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) definitions are used for calculating unemployment data. Among those not working, the most recent job-search activity for 3.40 million happened less than two weeks ago, while 1.72 million most recently looked for work between two and four weeks ago. An additional 0.86 million most recently looked for work five weeks ago, and the remaining 12.33 million who do not have jobs have not looked for work in the past six weeks. Round your answers to two decimal places. What is the size of the total labor force

Answers

Answer: 22.71 million

Explanation:

The labor force refers to both the employed and unemployed populations of a country. In other words it comprises of those who are working and those who are not working but are able to and are currently seeking employment.

Labor force = Unemployed + Employed

= 3.4 + 1.72 + 4.4 + 13.19

= 22.71 million

Those who have not looked for work in sex weeks and above are not considered unemployed.

Part time employees are considered employed.
