The correct answer to this question is the following.
The principles that govern the conversation process are the following.
First, there is an opening. In this first part of the conversation process is when we greet the other person with a simple "Hello," "How is it going?"
The second part is called the Feedforeard, in which we try to make an introduction of the conversation with general statements or questions such as "Nice weather, ha?" or "I really wanted to meet you."
The third part is the Business part, in which we go straight forward to the reason for our conversation. We state our arguments, the purpose of the talking, what we need from the other person, and so on. The fourth part is the Feedback process, in which we listen to the arguments of the other individual, and make clarifications. The firth part is the Closing, in which, we thank for the conversation and casually or formally, we say goodby to the other person.
Find the present value that will grow to $45,000 if interest is 3.6% compounded monthly for 1 year.
Answer:
43,411.15
Explanation:
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1 +I) ^n
From the question,
A = 45,000
P = Unknown
I = 0.036 ÷ 12
n = 1 * 12
Therefore,
45,000 = P(1 +0.036/12) ^1 *12
45,000 = P(1.003)^12
45,000 = 1.0365998P
P = 43,411.15
If interest rates increase, business investment expenditures are likely to ______ and consumer durable expenditures are likely to _________.
The market capitalization rate on the stock of Aberdeen Wholesale Company is 12%. Its expected ROE is 14%, and its expected EPS is $3. If the firm's plowback ratio is 80%, its P/E ratio will be _________.
Answer:
100
Explanation:
The market capitalization rate is 12%
= 12\100
= 0.12
Its expected ROE is 14%
= 14/100
= 0.14
The expected EPS is $3
The Plow back ratio is 80%
= 80/100
= 0.8
The first step is to calculate the dividend payout ratio
= 1-0.8
= 0.2
The expected dividend can be calculated as follows
=0.8×3
= $2.4
The growth rate can be calculated as
follows
= 0.8×0.14
= 0.112×100
= 112%
The value can be calculated as follows
= 2.4/0.12-0.112
= 2.4/0.008
= 300%
Therefore, the P/E ratio can be calculated as follows
= 300/3
= 100
A company sells 5,000 units at $25 each. If the variable costs are $35,00, what is the contribution margin ratio
The figure for the variable costs of the company is wrong. The correct figure for variable cost is $35000.
A company sells 5,000 units at $25 each. If the variable costs are $35,000 what is the contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
Contribution Margin ratio = 0.72 or 72%
Explanation:
The contribution margin ratio is the percentage of sales revenue that is contributed towards covering the fixed costs of the business. The contribution margin ratio is calculated by subtracting the total variable costs by the sales revenue and expressing it as a percentage of sales revenue. Thus, the formula is,
Contribution Margin ratio = (Sales Revenue - Variable costs ) / Sales Revenue
The sales revenue is = 5000 * 25 = 125000
Contribution Margin ratio = (125000 - 35000) / 125000
Contribution Margin ratio = 0.72 or 72%
Christine, a scheduler at Mangel-Wurzel Transport, gets a call from a regular customer needing to move of rock and soil, which Christine knows from previous experience has an average density of . Christine has available a dump truck with a capacity of and a maximum safe load of . Calculate the number of trips the dump truck will have to make to haul the customer's load away.
Complete Question:
Christine, a scheduler at Mangel-Wurzel Transport, gets a call from a regular customer needing to move 70.3 m³ of rock and soil, which Christine knows from previous experience has an average density of 880 kg/m³. Christine has available a dump truck with a capacity of 9 m³ and a maximum safe load of 5300 kg. Calculate the number of trips the dump truck will have to make to haul the customer's load away?
Answer:
= 105 trips
Explanation:
a) Data:
Volume of customer's load = 70.3 m³
Average density of load = 880 kg
Truck capacity in volume = 9 m³
Truck's mass = 5,300 kg
Density load of truck = 5,300/9 = 588.89m³
Total density of load = 70.3 m³ * 880 kg/m³ = 61,864m³
Number of trips to be made = Total density/Density capacity of truck
= 61,864m³/588.89m³
= 105 trips
b) Density is the mass of a unit volume of a material substance. Therefore, density = d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density can also be expressed as kilograms per cubic metre (in MKS or SI units).
Remember, kilograms = mass and cubic meters = volume.

Your customer wants to buy 1,000 shares of XYZ stock and has entered a not-held order with instructions to you to purchase the stock when you feel the price looks right. Under the rules, this order will be treated as
Answer:
Day order
Explanation:
This is a not held order which must be executed during that trading day. When a customer instructs their trader to execute a not-held order, they are valid only for that day. The exceptions to this rule would require that the customer specifically states a certain time period. Not held orders are instructions to buy or sell securities when the trader believes that the price is right.
When standard direct labor hours differ from actual direct labor hours used, the company experienced a(n):
Answer:
efficiency variance
Explanation:
When standard direct labor hours differ from actual direct labor hours used, the company experienced an "efficiency varaiance". It can be used in order to analyze how effective an operation is in relation to labor, materials, machine time and other production factors.
Efficiency variance is actually the difference which exists between the theoretical amount of inputs which are needed to produce an output and the actual number of inputs which are required to manufacture the unit of output.

A bond has a par value of $1,000, a current yield of 6.453 percent, annual interest payments, and 8 years to maturity. The bond quote is $929.76. What is the amount of each coupon payment?
a. $30.00
b. $32.27
c. $60.00
d. $62.50
e. $64.53
Answer:
Annual coupon payment = $599.97
Explanation:
Current yield = 6.453%
Price of bond = Bond quote / 100 * par value
Price of bond = 929.76 / 100 * 1000
Price of bond = 9297.6
The formula for current yield is: Current yield = annual coupon payment / bond price
6.453% = Annual coupon payment / 9297.6
Annual coupon payment = 6.453% * 9297.6
Annual coupon payment = 599.974128
Annual coupon payment = $599.97
Jessica weighs 125 lbs. She rode a bike at 17 mph for 25 minutes. What is the calorie cost of this activity?
Answer: 178 calories
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Jessica weighs 125 lbs and that she rode a bike at 17 mph for 25 minutes. It should be noted that 17 mph is thesame as 0.057 cal/lb/min.
Therefore, the calorie cost of this activity will be:
= 0.057 x 125 = 7.125
We then multiply 7.125 by the number of minutes used. This will be:
= 7.125 x 25
= 178 calories
Murray Company reports net income of $728,000 for the year. It has no preferred stock, and its weighted-average common shares outstanding is 260,000 shares. Compute its basic earning per share.
Answer:
The answer is $2.8
Explanation:
Earnings Per Share(EPS) is the part of company's earnings that goes to each common share owner.
It is calculated as net income minus preferred dividend(if any) / weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Net income equals $728,000
Weighted-average common shares outstanding equals 260,000 shares
Therefore, basic earning per share is
$728,000 /260,000
= $2.8
Milton Friedman argued that the economy is not in long-run equilibrium if the expected inflation rate __________ the actual inflation rate.
Answer: d.a and b
Explanation:
Inflation refers to the general rise in the price of goods and services in the economy and when stable can be considered good for the economy as it signifies that the country's economy is growing.
Milton Friedman argued that for an economy to be in long run equilibrium, the expected inflation rate must be equal to the actual inflation rate. If the expected rate is either lower or higher than the actual rate then the economy is not in equilibrium.
If the Congress wants to increase the AD by $5 billion, how much should they increase the government spending
Answer:
The government spending will be less than $5 billion.
Explanation:
The government spending will be less than $5 billion because the concept of spending multiplier exhibits that if the government inject a certain amount in the economy then the economy will become richer than the injected amount. For example, the government assign $100 for a project and out of $100, it pays $50 to the labor. Further, the labor save $10 and spend $40. Here, the economy is richer with $100 + $40 = $140. Therefore, if the government expect to rise the AD by $5 billion then the government spending should be lower than $ 5 billion.
Given the following for the XYZ Company:
Year Pre-Tax Net Income (Loss) Tax Rate2015 S10,000 20%2016 8,000 20%2017 (20,000) 20% 2018 2,000 20%

8. Blue Cab Company had 50,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 20,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 5,000 shares exercisable at $10 that had not been exercised by its executives. The end-of-year market price of common stock was $13 while the average price for the year was $12. The company reported net income in the amount of $269,915 for 2021. What is the diluted earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
$4.10
Explanation:
total weighted stocks:
January 1 = 50,000 x 12/12 = 50,000
April 1 = 20,000 x 9/12 = 15,000
total = 65,000
diluted stocks = 5,000 - (5,000 x 10) / 12 = 833.33 ≈ 833
net income = $269,915
diluted EPS = net income - preferred dividends / (weighted common stocks + diluted stocks) = $269,915 / (65,000 + 833) = $4.0999 = $4.10

Net income is shown on the end-of-period spreadsheet in the Income Statement debit column and the Balance Sheet credit column.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
It is True because net income is shown in the Balance sheet as a credit account as it increases the revenues and as a debit column in the Income Statement of the end-of-period spreadsheet.
This entry is reversed for the net loss. It would be shown as a debit column in the Balance Sheet ( indicating an expense/ a loss) and as a credit column in the income statement.
The net income is shown as a debit column in the Income Statement of the end-of-period spreadsheet indicating that the credits ( revenues) are more than the debits ( expenses) and we get the balance of the income after deducting the expenses from the revenues. It is entered above the debit totals.

What would happen if your boss at the bookstore asked you to decrease some of the business' variable costs
Answer: d.You would find less expensive designer for the store’s advertising posters.
Explanation:
Going by the options give, the best option would be D. This is because option A talks about location which is a fixed cost while b talks about the business insurance policy which is also a fixed cost. Option C is about the internet service provider which is also another fixed cost.
Option D however is not a fixed cost as it relates to advertising. Advertising is a variable cost and so in obeying the directive from the boss, this is the cost that would need to be reduced by finding a less expensive designer.
If Management was not concerned with the time value of money, from which two capital budgeting methods should they choose?
Answer:
ARR or Payback
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question
Multiple Choice
BET or IRR
ARR or Payback
NPV or IRR
NPV or Payback
BET or NPV
Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
Average book value = (cost of equipment - salvage value) / 2
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
The NPV and IRR considers the time value of money by discounting the cash flow at discount rate.
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
