Incomplete question. The options read;
Mary is correct, but only because Annie signed the note "Green" instead of "Greene" as indicated on the note.Mary is correct.Mary is incorrect.Mary is correct, but only because two payees are listed.Mary is incorrect unless she can prove that Susie intentionally and purposefully spelled the name wrong to prevent negotiation.Answer:
Mary is incorrect.Explanation:
Indeed, since this just a case of name misspelling, the law in no clear terms states that such an endorsement would be counted as been illegal.
Remember, Mary acknowledges that the amount paid by Susie Smith was meant for both of them (Annie Green and Mary Hodge), hence there should be no question of illegality since funds were meant to be shared. In other words, this minor error can be overlooked.
Sabrina, Kris, and Kelly are the only three residents of the small town of Charleston. They are considering whether to hire a police officer to patrol the town. Sabrina values the police officer at $610 per week, Kris values the police officer at $230 per week, and Kelly values the police officer at $150 per week. The competitive wage for a police officer is $900 per week.
a. If the protection provided by the police officer to one resident does not diminish the protection provided to the other residents, then the police officer is ____________
1. a commons
2. an excludable
3. a rival
4. a nonrival
5. a nonexcludable good.
b. Suppose Sabrina proposes a tax whereby all three residents split the cost of the police officer equally.
1. Will the majority of them support this tax?
2. No, they will not support the tax.
3. Yes, they will support the tax.
4. Is this outcome socially efficient?
5. This outcome is not socially efficent.
6. This outcome is socially efficient.
Answer:
a. 4. a nonrival
b. 1. a. No, they will not support the tax.
2. b. This outcome is socially efficient.
Explanation:
When the services provided by a good to one person does not diminish the good's ability to provide those same services for another, the good is said to be non-rival in nature.
If an equal tax is proposed, not everyone would be in support of it because some would be paying more than they value the policeman. An equal tax would be:
= 900 salary / 3 = $300
This is more than the value that both Kris($230) and Kelly ($150) value the police officer at.
This outcome however, is socially efficient because when costs are split evenly, a socially optimal and efficient outcome often results.
You are evaluatig an equity investment in a public company called Corona Corp (ticker: COR). You expect the company will pay a $2.00 dividend per share at the end of next year and that dividends will grow at a constant rate of 5% annually in the future. You require a 13% return on investments in equity. Based on these assumptions, what is the fair value of a share of COR stock today?
Answer:
$25
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
2/ 0.13 - 0.08 = $25

a. Otto 1/2. Parker 1/2
b. Otto 5/8, Parker 3/8
c. Otto 1/3, Parker 1/3, Quentin's heirs 1/3
d. Otto 1/2. Parker 1/4, Quentin's heirs 1/4
Answer:D. Otto 1/2. Parker 1/4, Quentin's heirs 1/4
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, if Quentin dies, the property will be divided as Otto 1/2. Parker 1/4, Quentin's heirs 1/4.
When a tenant in common dies, it should be noted that their share of a property will be passed to their legal heir and thesame percentage of ownership will be shared by the co-owners. Hence the correct option is D

In the trade-off theory, debt levels chosen to balance interest tax shield against the costs of financial distress imply:________
a. an interior optimum (firm value maximizing) debt ratio
b. that investors are irrational, since they require lower returns the hgher the risk
c. that a firm would use little to no debt
d. that a firm would borrow as much as possible
Answer:
a) an interior optimum (firm value maximizing) debt ratio
Explanation:
Trade off Theory is about capital structure of an economic unit. It mentions about the benefit of debt - ie tax saving, as interest on debt is tax deductible; & cost of debt - bankruptcy & insolvency risk, due to fix interest cost.
The theory depicts the debt level, which is best to - balance interest tax shield against the costs of financial distress imply, which implies that it seeks a balance between benefit & cost of debt.
So, the theory finds the best interior optimum (firm value maximising) debt equity ratio.
On September 30, 2018, Corso Steel acquired a patent from Thermo Steel. The agreement specified that Corso will pay Thermo $1,000,000 immediately and then another $1,000,000 on September 30, 2020. An interest rate of 8% reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement.
What amount of interest expense, if any, would Corso record on December 31, 2019, the company’s fiscal year end?
a. $68,687.
b. $80,000.
c. $60,000.
d. $69,959.
Answer: $69,959
Explanation:
The amount of interest expense, that Corso will record on December 31, 2019, the company’s fiscal year end will be calculated thus:
First, we calculate the present value of payment which will be made on September 30,2020 and this will be:
= $1000000 × 0.857339
= $857339
Then, the interest expense on December 31,2018 will be:
= $857339 × 8%/12 × 3
= $17147
Therefore, the Interest expense on December 31,2019 will be:
= ($857339 + $17147) × 8%
= $874486 × 0.08
= $69959

A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $480,000. The projected after-tax net income is $80,000 per year after deducting $160,000 of annual depreciation expense. The equipment has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. What is the payback period for the new equipment?
a. 2 years.
b. 3 years.
c. 4 years.
d. 5 years.
e. 6 years.
Answer:
a. 2 years.
Explanation:
Annual cash flow = After-tax net income + Depreciation
Annual cash flow = $80,000 + $160,000
Annual cash flow = $240,000
Payback Period = Cost of Project / Annual cash Flow
Payback Period = $480,000 / $240,000
Payback Period = 2 years
So, the payback period for the new equipment is 2 years.

Assume that the price of oranges increases to $2, while the price of apples remains at $1, and Linda allocates $5 of the weekly food budget to purchasing apples and oranges. If Linda wants to maximize her utility, her new consumption bundle will consist of:_______
a. 1 apple and 2 oranges.
b. 3 apples and 1 orange.
c. 5 apples and no oranges.
d. none of the above
Answer:
The correct option is d. none of the above.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the ratios of the marginal utility to price of each of Apples and Oranges assuming that the price of oranges increases to $2, while the price of apples remains at $1.
For two goods, utility is maximized at a point where the ratios of the marginal utility to price of the two commodities are equal. That is, for this question, Linda will maximize her utility when we have:
Marginal Utility of Apples / Price of Apples = Marginal Utility of Oranges / Price of Oranges ............... (1)
From the attached excel file, it can be observed that equation (1) does NOT hold anywhere. Therefore, the correct option is d. none of the above.
While on vacation, Kyle Kingston, the president and chief executive officer of Remstat, Inc., is called by the CEO of Viokam Corporation, who asks Kingston if Remstat would be interested in buying 25 percent of the outstanding shares of Viokam. Remstat is a billion dollar conglomerate which has contemplated acquiring Viokam for some time. Kingston tells Viokam's CEO that Remstat is not interested. Kingston tells Viokam’s CEO, however, that KKIM, Inc., would be willing to buy the shares of Viokam. Kingston is the 100 percent shareholder of KKIM. Viokam sells the shares to KKIM for $35 million. A year later, KKIM sells the shares for $55 million to a mutual fund company. When Remstat's directors discover KKIM's purchase and sale of the Viokam shares, they bring an action against Kingston on behalf of Remstat. Which of the following is correct?
1. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he usurped a corporate opportunity.
2. Kingston may not be held liable to Remstat because he became aware of this opportunity outside the scope of his duties as an officer of Remstat.
3. Kingston may not be held liable to Remstat because he acted within the discretion afforded him under the business judgment rule.
4. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he exceeded his authority to act for the corporation.
Answer: A. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he usurped a corporate opportunity.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the correct option is that Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he usurped a corporate opportunity.
Usurpation of a corporate opportunity is typically regarded as a form of breach of duty and it arises when a worker in a particular company uses the information that he has for his own personal gain.
In this case, Kingston is the 100 percent shareholder of KKIM and uses the information that he has regarding the sabres to his benefit.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
You are considering an investment that costs $152,000 and has projected cash flows of $71,800, $86,900, and -$11,200 for years 1 to 3, respectively. If the required rate of return is 15.5 percent, should you accept the investment based solely on the internal rate of return rule? Why or why not?
a. Yes; The IRR exceeds the required return.
b. No; The IRR exceeds the required return.
c. You cannot apply the IRR rule in this case.
d. Yes; The IRR is less than the required return.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
The IRR would give conflicting answers in this case because a stream of positive cash flows is followed by negative cash flow
IRR can only be used when a negative cash flow is followed by positive cash flows
In this question there are two negative cash flows in year 0 and year 3
Baker Inc. acquired equipment from the manufacturer on 10/1/11 and gave a noninterest-bearing note in exchange. Baker is obligated to pay $918,000 on 4/1/12 to satisfy the obligation in full. If Baker accrued interest of $9,000 on the note in its 2011 year-end financial statements, what is its imputed annual interest rate?
A. 2%
B. 5%
C. 6%
D. 4%
Answer:
D. 4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what is its imputed annual interest rate
Imputed annual interest rate=(2 x $9,000)/$918,000
Imputed annual interest rate=$18,000/$918,000
Imputed annual interest rate=2% for 6 months, (Approximately) or 4% annually
Therefore its imputed annual interest rate is 4% annually
A good is non-rivalrous if:____.
A. It is not possible to prevent an individual from using the good.
B. Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits.
C. The quantity of the good is affected by the price a consumer pays for the good.
D. One person's benefit from the good does not reduce the benefit available to other people.
Answer:
D. One person's benefit from the good does not reduce the benefit available to other people.
Explanation:
A product (good) can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;
1. Core benefit.
2. Generic product.
3. Expected product.
4. Augmented product.
5. Potential product.
The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.
A non-rivalrous product (good) is one in which a person's (buyer's) benefit from through the purchase of a good does not reduce or annul the benefit available to other people.

a.) Suppose that South Pangean debt is $100 million and the interest rate it pays on that debt is 4 percent. That means its interest payments must be $ million.
b.) If South Pangean expenditures are $30 million without interest payments, that means its expenditures with interest payments are $ million.
Answer:
a
$4 million
b.
expenditures with interest payments
Explanation:
a.
The interest payment is the value of debt taken multiplied by the interest rate on the debt.
In other words, the interest payment is computed using the below formula:
annual interest payment=value of debt*interest rate
value of debt=$100 million
interest rate=4%
annual interest payment=$100 million*4%
annual interest payment=$4 million
b.
The expenditures with interest payments are is the expenditures without interest payments plus interest payments determined as $4million above
expenditures with interest payments=expenditures without interest payments+interest payments
expenditures without interest payments=$30 million
interest payments=$4 million
expenditures with interest payments=$30million+$4million
expenditures with interest payments=$34million
The interest amount for the $ 100 million at 4% interest rate has been $4 million. The expenditure of South Pangean with interest has been $34 million.
(a) Interest has been the amount paid to the sum principal amount based on the interest rate.
Annual interest can be calculated as:
Interest = Interest rate [tex]\times[/tex] Principal sum
Interest = 4% [tex]\times[/tex] $100 Million
Interest = [tex]\rm \dfrac{4}{100}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] $100 Million
Interest = $ 4 Million.
(b) The expenditures with interest have been the sum of expenditure and the interest amount.
Expenditure with interest = Expenditure + Interest
Expenditure with interest = $ 30 + $ 4 million
Expenditure with interest = $ 34 million.

On January 1, 2019, Woodstock, Inc. purchased a machine costing $40,600. Woodstock also paid $1,300 for transportation and installation. The expected useful life of the machine is 6 years and the residual value is $5,300. If Woodstock uses the straight-line depreciation method, which of the following statements is incorrect?
a. The annual depreciation expense is $6.100.
b. The December 31, 2019 book value is $35,800
c. The December 31, 2020 book value is $24,400
d. The December 31, 2021 accumulated depreciation balance is $18,300
Answer:
Book value (2020)= $29,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total purchase price= 40,600 +´1,300= $41,900
Useful life= 6 years
Residual value= $5,300
To determine which option is incorrect, we are going to calculate the annual depreciation, book value, and accumulated depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (Total purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (41,900 - 5,300) / 6
Annual depreciation= $6,100
Accumulated depreciation (2021)= 6,100*3= $18,300
Book value (2019)= 41,900 - 6,100= $35,800
Book value (2020)= 35,800 - 6,100= $29,700

Discuss, what international business is, why and how it differs from domestic business, why it is important, and its historical development?
Answer:
An international business can be understood as the expansion of business beyond your country. Organizations look for economic opportunities in other countries, to achieve competitive and profitable advantages, to increase their value and their market strength.
This is a strategy that includes greater responsibilities than managing a national business, due to the fact that an international business includes adapting to a different culture, legislation and preferences, which means greater challenges and greater capacity for the organization to adapt its values, products and services the culture and local rules, in order to be well accepted and well positioned in the international market.
International business was only possible due to new technologies, which allowed individuals to move and communicate more quickly, which enabled this international expansion in a more dynamic way and management in real time, regardless of geographic distance.
Currently we live in the era of globalization, where there is a great economic interaction between the countries of the world, in an ultra-competitive environment where each organization seeks the best way to generate value and economic results.
