show every one the knowledge you have learned
try to buy what you need and nothing more
being over indulgence is not good
do not hang out at the department store
would try to go to the park if I could

Answer:
Certificate of deposit
Explanation:
A certificate of deposit is one of the most common and safest investment mechanisms. It consists in depositing a fixed amount of money at a bank or any other financial institution that offers the service, for a fixed amount of time, and in exchange for a fixed interest rate.
Certificates of deposit are one of the safest investment options, but for the same reason, they are one of the least profitable. It is well known that one of the central principles of finance is that the higher the risk, the higher the profitability, and the lower the risk, the lower the profitability.

To record the issuance of the bonds at a discount.
2. Total bond interest expense to be recognized over the bonds' life:
= $287,160
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2019
Face value of bonds issued = $640,000
Price of bonds = $570,443
Bonds discount = $69,557 ($640,000 - $570,443)
Coupon interest rate = 8.5%
Market interest rate = 12%
Maturity period = 4 years
Interest payment = semiannual on June 30 and December 31
With straight-line amortization of bonds discount, the semiannual amortization will be = $8,695
Semi-annual interest payment = $27,200 ($640,000 * 4.25%)
Semi-annual interest expense = $35,895 ($27,200 + $8,695)
Annual interest expense = $71,790

Contribution margin per unit. Number of units that Ender must sell to break even. Sales level in units that Ender must reach to earn a profit of $240,000. Determine the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage.
Answer:
a. $120
b. 5,000 units
c. 7,000 units
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, I found the full question online and uploaded text and image below.
Workings and explanations :
Contribution margin per unit = Sales - Variable Cots
= $200 - $80
= $120
Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $600,000 ÷ $120
= 5,000 units
Unit Sales to achieve a target profit = (Targeted Profit + Fixed Costs) ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= ($240,000 + $600,000) ÷ $120
= 7,000 units
Margin of Safety = Expected sales - Break even Sales
Note : There is no much details about the current sales level

According to Joan Woodward, ____________ is classified as a continuous process production company.
a. Design 1.
b. Design 2.
c. Design 3.
Answer:
design 2
Explanation:
Joan Woodward conducted a study from 1954 - 1955 to determine the effect of organisation style on the success of the organisation
she grouped firms into 3 groups based on their level of technological complexity. the groups include :
1. Small Batch and Unit Production : this group meets small orders. they cater to the specific needs of customers
An example is a personalized wedding cake business in which you will create custom delicacies for clients
2. Large Batch and Mass Production : this group make large orders that do not meet the specific needs of customers. Most of the orders go into inventory.
An example is a factory in which assembly-line workers create low-cost, standardized cakes to be sold in grocery stores
3. Continuous Process Production : in this group, the entire production system is mechanized.
Which type of layout features departments or other functional groupings in which similar activities are performed
Answer:
Process-oriented.
Explanation:
A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.
These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.
Similarly, a type of layout in the manufacturing process that features departments or other functional groupings in which similar activities are performed is generally referred to as being process-oriented.
One of the main advantages of a process-oriented layout is that it mitigates or reduces difficulties associated with material flow variability for a product.
In analyzing present and future values of lump sums, the larger the interest rate and the larger the number of periods, the _________
Answer:
THE SMALLER THE PRESENT VALUE
Explanation:
The smaller is any future value.
The larger is any present value.
The smaller is any present value.
The smaller is any future value interest factor.
Let us illustrate with the following scenarios
1. 500 is to be received in 2 years. Interest rate is 10%. Present value is 413.22
2. 500 is to be received in 2 years. Interest rate is 20%. Present value is 347.22
3. 500 is to be received in 4 years. Interest rate is 10%. Present value is 341.51
It can be seen that the the larger the interest rate and the larger the number of periods
Costly Corporation plans a new issue of bonds with a par value of $1000, a maturity of 37 years, and an annual coupon rate of 11.0%. Flotation costs associated with a new debt issue would equal 3.0% of the market value of the bonds. Currently, the appropriate discount rate for bonds of firms similar to Costly is 9.0%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 50%. What will the firm's true cost of debt be for this new bond issue
Answer: hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options
answer : 4.65% ( option 3 )
Explanation:
par value of bond = $1000
Maturity period = 37 years
Annual coupon rate = 11.0%
Floating costs = 3.0% of market value of bonds
Discount rate for bonds of firms similar = 9.0 %
Marginal tax rate = 50%
Determine the firm's true cost of debt
Nper = 37
coupon rate = 11.0%
PMT = face value * coupon rate = 1000 * 11% = $110
present value ( PV ) = $1,176.67
step 2 ; calculate the value of YTM
YTM = 9.29% using excel function: rate( 37, 110, -1176.67, 1000 )
step 3 : calculate True cost of debt
YTM * ( 1 - marginal tax rate )
= 9.29% * ( 1 - 0.5 )
= 4.65%
Paraguay Pipes Inc. has a cost of equity of 11.1 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 5.7 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. The company's bonds sell for 93.1 percent of par. The debt has a book value of $393,000 and total assets have a book value of $947,000. If the market-to-book ratio is 2.59 times, what is the company's WACC?
Answer: 9.5978%
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the total book value of equity will be the difference between the total assets book value and the total debt book value which will be:
= $947,000 - $393,000
= $554,000
Then, we'll calculate the market value which will be:
= market-to-book ratio × book value
= 2.59 × $554,000
= $1,434,860
Then, the after tax cost of debt will be:
= 5.7(1 - Tax rate)
= 5.7(1 - 35%)
= 5.7(1 - 0.35)
= 5.7(0.65)
= 3.705%
Equity = $1,434,860
Debt = $393,000 × 93.1%
= $365883
Total market value = $1,800,743
WACC = Respective costs × Respective weights
= ($1,434,860/$1,800,743 × 11.1%) + ($365883/$1,800,743 × 3.705%)
= 0.08845 + 0.007528
= 0.095978
= 9.5978%
Bramble Corp. expects to purchase $110000 of materials in July and $130000 of materials in August. Three-fourths of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase. How much will August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be
Answer:
$125,000
Explanation:
August's cash disbursements for materials purchases wiill be:
= July month purchase paid amount + August month purchase paid amount
= ($110,000 * 25%) + ($130,000 * 75%)
= $27,500 + $97,500
= $125,000
Suppose a basketball player has made 300300 out of 385385 free throws. If the player makes the next 33 free throws, I will pay you $25$ 25. Otherwise you pay me $24$ 24. Step 1 of 2: Find the expected value of the proposition. Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.
Answer: -0.8166
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the expected value of the proposition goes thus:
The probability of player made a free throw will be:
p = 300/385 = 60/77
The probability of the player makes the next 3 free throws will be:
= (60/77)³ = 0.4731
Therefore, we'll then calculate the probability that the player won't make the next 3 free throws. This will be:
= 1 - 0.4731
= 0.5269
The expected value of the proposition will be:
= 0.4731 × 25 +0.5269 × (-24)
= -0.8166
Therefore, ghe expected value of the proposition will be -0.8166

Answer: Hi your question is incomplete attached below are the missing details
answer :
A) 16 used DVDs
B) i) $18
ii) $6
iii) $8
Explanation:
A) Determine the weekly shortage of used DVDs due to ceiling price = $11
shortage = Quantity demanded ( H ) - Quantity supplied ( F )
at ceiling price of $11 ; quantity demanded = 20 , Quantity supplied = 4
= 20 - 4 = 16 used DVDs
B) i) New consumer surplus = ADLK
ADLK = ∠ ABK + BKLD
= 1/2 * 4 * 1 ) + ( 15 - 11 )*4 = $18
ii) New producer surplus = DLE
DLE = 1/2 * 4 * ( 11-8 )
= $6
iii) Total economic surplus lost
ΔKJL = 1/2 ( 8 - 4 ) * ( 15 - 11 )
= $8

The Nash equilibrium of this game is for Tying-the-Knot to set alow price and Bridezilla-No-More to set alow price. True or False: Both firms would be worse off if they cooperated and set a high price for their services, instead of using the Nash equilibrium. True False Suppose that the firms play this game indefinitely. Both firms agree to cooperate in order to maintain higher profits. To deter cheating, Tying-the-Knot announces that it will play a grim strategy. Given this strategy, what will happen if Bridezilla-No-More breaks the cooperative agreement in the first period
Answer:
Tying-the-Knot and Bridezilla-No-More
1. The Nash equilibrium of this game is for Tying-the-Knot to set a low price and Bridezilla-No-More to set a low price.
True
2. Both firms would be worse off if they cooperated and set a high price for their services, instead of using the Nash equilibrium.
False
3. Given Tying-the-Knot grim strategy, if Bridezilla-No-More breaks the cooperative agreement in the first period,
there will be a permanent breakdown in cooperation between the two firms.
Explanation:
Playing the grim trigger strategy, Tying-the-Knot cooperates with Bridezilla-No-More in the first round and in the subsequent rounds as long as Bridezilla-No-More does not defect from the agreement. Once Tying-the-Knot finds that Bridezilla-No-More has betrayed the agreement in the previous game, he will then defect forever. Both firms will then lose as they cannot cooperate to achieve higher profits.

competitive markets are allocatively efficient. It is, however, difficult to find many examples of perfectly competition in the real world. Perfect competition is really a benchmark against which we compare other market structures in the real world. How much actual competition occurs in perfectly competitive markets
Answer:
Some level of actual competition still occurs in the perfectly competitive markets.
Explanation:
There is a perfect competition when have many sellers, it is easy for firms to enter and leave, products of the sellers are homogeneous, and sellers are price takers.
Perfect competition is a concept that exists only in theory and does not exist in reality. As a result, real-life examples of perfect competition are hard to come by, but there are a few that demonstrate the intensity of actual competition that exists in completely competitive markets.
Consider the instance of two competing supermarkets that both stock their aisles with goods from the same set of companies. Between the two supermarkets, there is little to separate products from one another, and their pricing is nearly identical.
The market for unbranded products, which contains cheaper replicas of well-known brands, is another example of ideal competition.
Product knockoffs are often priced in the same way and it may be difficult to differentiate them. If one of the companies that makes or supplies such a product leaves the industry, another one takes its place.
Despite that perfect competition is a concept that exists only in theory, the above examples therefore show that some level of actual competition still occurs in the perfectly competitive markets.

The premiums for 3 month call and put options on euros are listed below: Strike price Call Put $1.25 $0.06 $0.02 The interest rate in dollars is 4% per annum. (That will be 1% for a 3 month period.) What is the 3 month ahead forward rate that is consistent with put call parity
Answer:
1.2904
Explanation:
S + P = C + X/(1+r)^n
S = ?, P = Premium of put 0.02, C = Premium of call 0.06, X = Strike price (1.25), r = 4%, n = 1.25 (3/12)
S + 0.02 = 0.06 + 1.25/(1.04)^0.25
S = 0.06 + 1.2378 - 0.02
S = 1.2778
F = S(1+r)^n
F = 1.2778*(1.04)^(3/12)
F = 1.2778*1.009853
F = 1.2903901634
F = 1.2904
So, the 3 month ahead forward rate that is consistent with put call parity is 1.2904.
