Two years ago, a customer purchased 1,000 shares of ABC stock at $45 per share. The stock has appreciated in value and is currently worth $60,000. The company announces that it is spinning off a subsidiary, DEF, to its shareholders. The value of the new company being spun off equals 5% of the old company. The customer will have:___________
Answer:
Explanation:
Spin off can be defined as the splitting of the shares of an existing company in order to form an independent new entities as part of larger business.
In calculating the spill off value of a business ,the aggregate cost of the business is used and not the aggregate cost.
Workings
Shares stock acquired = 1,000
initial share price = $45
Total share value = 45*1000=45,000
Percentage split off to DEF= 5%
Value split off = 5%*45,000 =2,250
Percentage retained in ABC = 95%*5,000
=42,750

D) A Greek bureaucrat who is responsible for determining that the Cardiac Science products meet national standards has taken a personal dislike to her.
E) The ads are in trade journals that Greek hospital administrators don't read.
The correct answer is A) The name of the product, when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning.
Explanation:
In business, communication problems can emerge due to a difference in language that prevents the business from communicating appropriately its purpose, name, slogan, and from advertising its products. This mainly occurs if the translation does not reflect the original meaning or there are cultural features that create a barrier.
This situation occurs in "The name of the product when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning" because due to the lack of experience of the manager in Greece and the differences in language, she does not know how to communicate in Greek the name of the company, which creates a communicative barrier as Greek customers will not understanding the real meaning of the company.

Answer:
Cost of inventory = $2,410
Explanation:
The payment terms 2/10, n/30 implies that if the Company pays within te next 10 days of purchase, it will receive a discount of 2% of the net invoice amount and that the latest date for the settlement of bill is within the next 30 days of purchase.

An asphalt company has a manufacturing plant located in an area that has just been rezoned for residential use. The company is allowed to continue operating the plant under the new zoning classification as a nonconforming use. However, if the plant is destroyed or torn down, the asphalt company MOST likely
Answer:
forbidden to rebuild the plant in that neighborhood under any circumstances
Explanation:
A nonconforming use allows for the use of a property that was allowed under the zoning regulations at the time that it was built, even though it is no longer permitted due to new regulations. In such a case like this one, if the plant is destroyed or torn down, the asphalt company most likely would be forbidden to rebuild the plant in that neighborhood under any circumstances because they would not be able to meet the new zoning requirements.
Bonnie's Ice Cream is expecting its ice cream sales to decline due to the increased interest in healthy eating. Thus, the company has announced that it will be reducing its annual dividend by 2 percent a year for the next five years. After that, it will maintain a constant dividend of $2 a share. Last year, the company paid $2.35 per share. What is this stock worth to you if you require a 9.5 percent rate of return
Answer:
the stock worth is $21.90
Explanation:
Given that;
A company announced that it will be reducing its annual dividend by 2 percent a year for the next five years.
and after that it will maintain a constant dividend of $2 a share.
Also last year, the company paid $2.35 per share.
The objective is to determine the stock worth if there is a requirement of 9.5 percent rate of return.
The price of the stock = $2/0.095
The price of the stock =21.0526
The stock worth is the present value of the price which can be expressed as:
[tex]P = (2.35 \times (1 - 0.02)) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{1 + (-0.02) }{1+0.095})^5 }{0.095-(-0.02)} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{(1+0.095)^5}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.35 \times (0.98)) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{0.98}{1.095})^5 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{(1.095)^5}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 - (0.894977)^5 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 -0.574195 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{0.425805 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) (3.702652174)+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = 8.5272+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
P = $21.90
Therefore , the stock worth is $21.90

The funds dispensed at the ATM machine located near the checkout line at the Kroger's in Union Kentucky, follows a normal probability distribution with mean $4200 per day and a standard deviation of $720 a day. The machine is programmed to notify the nearby bank that if the amount dispensed is very low (less than $2500) or very high ($6,000).
a. What percent of the days will the bank be notified because the amount dispensed is very low?
b. What percent of the time will the bak be notified because the amount is very high?
c. What percent of the time will tbe bank not be notified regarding the amount of funds being dispensed?
Answer:
0.00914 ; 0.0062 ; 0.9847
Explanation:
Given the following :
Normal distribution :
Mean(m) = $4200
Standard deviation (sd) = 720
Amount VERY low = < 2500
Amount very high = > 6000
a. What percent of the days will the bank be notified because the amount dispensed is very low?
x < 2500
Finding the z-score :
Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
Z = (2500 - 4200) / 720
Z = - 1700 / 720 = −2.361111
P(z < −2.361111)
Locating −2.361111 on the z- distribution table
-2.3 under 0.06 = 0.00914
P(z < −2.361111) = 0.00914
B) What percent of the time will the bank be notified because the amount is very high?
x > 6000
Finding the z-score :
Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
Z = (6000 - 4200) / 720
Z = 1800 / 720 = 2.5
P(z > 2.5)
Locating 2.5 on the z- distribution table = 0.9938
P(z > 2.5) = 1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062
c. What percent of the time will the bank not be notified regarding the amount of funds being dispensed?
P(2500 < X < 6000)
P(2500 < X < 6000)
P(-2.36 < z < 0) + P(0 < z < 2.5)
= 0.4909 + 0.4938
= 0.9847
Consider a small country that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. The following equations describe the economy of this country in billions of dollars, where C is consumption, D is disposable income, I is investment, and G is government purchases: C=40+0.9∗DIG=80I=201. Assume that this economy initially has a fixed tax and that net taxes (taxes minus transfer payments are $100 billion. Disposable income is then (Y−100), where Y is the real GDP. Aggregate output demanded is $500 billion (True/False).2. Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the expenditure multiplier is 10 (True/False), this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by $100 billion (True/False).3. Now, suppose that the government switches to an income tax, which is the type of variable tax, of 20%. Because consumers retain only 80% of each additional dollar of income, disposable income is now 0.80∗Y. In this case, the economy's aggregate output demanded is $500 billion (True/False).4. Given an income tax of 20%, the expenditure multiplier is approximately 3.6 (True/False). Therefore, if the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising tax rates, this would increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by approximately $36 billion (True/False).5. A $10 billion increase in government purchases will have a larger effect on output under a fixed tax of $100 billion (True/False).
Answer:
1. Aggregate output demanded is $500 billion. True.
Aggregate Demand (Y) = C + G + I
Y = 40+0.9∗DI + 80 + 20
Y = 40 + 0.9 ∗ (Y−100) + 80 + 20
Y = 50 + 0.9Y
0.1Y = 50
Y = $500 billion
2. Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the expenditure multiplier is 10. True.
Expenditure Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - Marginal Propensity to Consume)
Marginal Propensity to Consume = 0.9 as per the Consumption function.
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.9)
= 10
2. b. this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by $100 billion. True.
Change in Aggregate output = Increase in government expenditure * expenditure multiplier
= 10 billion * 10
= $100 billion
3. ... In this case, the economy's aggregate output demanded is $500 billion . True.
Aggregate Demand (Y) = C + G + I
Y = 40+0.9∗DI + 80 + 20
Y = 40 + 0.9 ∗ (0.80∗Y) + 80 + 20
Y = 140 + 0.72Y
0.28Y = 140
Y = $500 billion
4. Given an income tax of 20%, the expenditure multiplier is approximately 3.6. True.
As a result of the new tax, the MPC will become;
= 0.9 * ( 0.80 * Y)
= 0.72Y.
Expenditure Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - Marginal Propensity to Consume)
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.72)
= 3.57
= 3.6
4. b. Therefore, if the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising tax rates, this would increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by approximately $36 billion. True.
Change in Aggregate output = Increase in government expenditure * expenditure multiplier
= 10 billion * 3.6
= $36 billion
5. A $10 billion increase in government purchases will have a larger effect on output under a fixed tax of $100 billion. True.
When the tax was fixed, an increase in Government purchases of $10 billion resulted in an increase in Aggregate output of $100 billion. When the Government switched to income taxes however, a $10 billion increase in Government spending led to a significantly lesser increase in Aggregate output of $36 billion.

Group of answer choices
a. Purchase Order
b. Cost plus Fee
c. Fixed cost
d. Time and Material
Answer:
d. Time and Material
Explanation:
Time and material is a type of contract used mostly for construction or manufacturing services, in which the client pays the contractor's employees (workers) based on the amount of time spent and quantity of materials used for the execution of the project.
Generally, a Time and Material (T&M) is peculiar to projects that cannot be easily estimated by size or duration and when project requirements are likely to be changed.
Hence, a Time and Material (T&M) contract is considered to be more flexible and suitable for a long-term project than a fixed-cost contract.

What is the meaning of Brand?A "brand" is a commercial and marketing concept that helps customers identify a certain business, object, or individual. Brands are immaterial, thus you cannot touch or see them with your hands. As a result, these affect how people perceive various entities, their products, or specific individuals.
A brand is something that is publicly distinguished from comparable products, services, or concepts. This makes it straightforward to communicate and generally advertise. Branding is the process of creating and promoting a company's name, characteristics, and personality.
A brand is a trademark or other designation that sets one company or product apart from others on the market, such as Coca-Cola, Apple, or Ford. The ancient Norse term "brand," which means "to burn," is where the current word "brand" comes from. In the year 950 A.D., a "brand" was a burning chunk of wood. By the 1300s, it was mostly used to refer to a torch, which is just a burning wood piece that serves as a tool.

All duties required by the stairway and ladder rules must be performed _______ employees begin work that requires them to use stairways or ladders and their respective fall protection systems.
Answer:
Before.
Explanation:
In work related environments, stairways and ladder systems are generally considered to be the major source of fatalities, injuries or bodily harm being experienced by the workers who are working in construction sites.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), all duties required by the stairway and ladder rules must be performed before employees begin work that requires them to use stairways or ladders and their respective fall protection systems.
This ultimately implies that, before any employee commences a work that requires the use of a stairway or ladder, all of the guidelines, rules and standard procedures should have been followed or done.
A manufacturer of hospital supplies has a uniform annual demand for 80,000 boxes of bandages. It costs $10 to store one box of bandages for one year and $160 to set up the plant for production. How many times a year should the company produce boxes of bandages in order to minimize the total storage and setup costs?
Answer:
50 times
Explanation:
For the computation of the number of times company should produce a year first we need to determine the EOQ which is shown below:-
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2\times Annual\ demand\times Ordering\ cost\ per\ order}{Holding\ cost} }[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times 80,000\times \$160}{\$10} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{25,600,000}{10} }[/tex]
= 1,600
Now,
we will assume a number of times in a year is x, so that the company manufacture bangles
[tex]x = \frac{Annual\ demand}{EOQ}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{80,000}{1,600}[/tex]
= 50 times
Therefore for computing the number of times the company should produce a year we simply applied the above formula.
