What is a service business? Give an example of one
Examples of service businesses include companies engaged in transport, food service, distribution, retail, and other industries that sell services rather than products. These intangibles provide the primary revenue source for service businesses.
Answer:
(a) Dollar price of the bond = Par value × Current price percentage
= $1,000 × 106.124%
= $1,061.24
(b) Bond's current yield:
Annual interest paid in dollars = Bond par value × Rate of interest
= $1,000 × 7.8%
= $78
= 0.0734
= 7.34%
(c) Issue price of bond is $1,000 and current maturity price is $1,061.24. Thus, bond price is greater than the par value.
(d) Current yield is the return on bond at current price. Yield to maturity is 6.588 % and current yield is 7.34%. Since the current price is more than the par value, therefore, YTM is lower than the current yield.

The persons I would give the business plan to are:
- An angel investor who I met on LinkedIn who supports small businesses and start-ups
- My banker of over 20 years
- I would give the business plan to my family members because they are the easiest people to raise funds from and also because family, can decide to contribute in cash or in-kind with no interest required.
- I would give the business plan to an angel investor because their funds are cheaper than those of the banks though a little more difficult to come by
- Banks always have the funds but the funds come at a higher cost than the first two.

Answer:
The amount of the gift is 566,371.6814
Explanation:
Average rate of return = Average net profit / average investment
Average rate of return = 5.65% (5.65/100 = 0.0565)
average net profit = 32000
average investment = unknown
to calculate the amount of the gift which is investment in this case the same formula for Average rate of return will be used i.e
Average rate of return = Average net profit / average investment
0.0565 = 32, 000/ x
cross multiply
0.0565 x = 32,000
divide both sides by 0.0565
x = 32,000/0.0565
32,000/ 0.0565 = x
x = 566,371.6814
The amount of the gift is 566,371.6814
Answer: Withdrawal Cognition.
Explanation:
Jason is experiencing withdrawal cognition as he feels like quiting his current job because he is unhappy at the work place. Withdrawal cognition occurs when an employee of a company seeks to resign and leave a job because they don't derive satisfaction from that job. As in the case of Jason in the question, the job role he expected is much different from what he was assigned to carry out.
