Answer: $12,000
Explanation:
The question makes no sense in one area. The loss probability for $0 cannot be 90% because the other two are collectively 20%. I shall therefore assume that the loss probability for $0 is 80% so that they add up to 100%.
Expected claim cost = ∑[loss probability * (Loss - Deductible)]
= 0.9 * 0 + [0.15 * (10,000 - 10,000)] + [0.05 * (250,000 - 10,000)]
= $12,000
Answer:
The correct answer is : C. Neither breached the contract because there is no contract until Friday.
Explanation:
As the contract will only become valid when both the parties Mohan and ACME sign up and this will only happen on Friday. But as Mohan is informed by the Acme on Tuesday that they can not hire him before signing up the contract that is scheduled on Friday. Since there is no valid agreement between parties, no breach of contract occurred.
Thus, the correct answer is option C. Neither breached the contract because there is no contract until Friday.

True
Explanation:
Qualified dividends are ordinary dividend that enjoy special tax privilege by being taxed at lower rate. The rate is based on specific tax rate which range from 0% to 20% depending on the income threshold. Though these dividends are taxed based on this specific lower tax rate compare to income tax rate, they are also subjected to net investment income of 3.8% if they earn above certain threshold.
However for dividends to be qualified, it must meet the two requirements given by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The requirements are:
*The dividend must have been paid by an entity incorporated in the United States or a qualifying foreign entity.
* The stock must have been held within the minimum holding period specified by the tax law.
So the answer is true because qualified dividends may be subject to a marginal tax rate of 23.8% for taxpayers with income over a certain threshold as explained above.
Answer:
b. Firm A engaged in predatory pricing.
Explanation:
Since Firm A and B are the only two companies that sell mail-order DVD rental subscriptions.
Firm A decided to price its subscriptions below average variable cost thereby causing Firm B to also sell subscriptions below average variable cost, but they went bankrupt and exited the market. Firm A then raised prices by 40% and is currently earning large, positive economic profits.
Based on this information only, an argument can be made that Firm A engaged in predatory pricing.
Predatory pricing is a marketing or pricing strategy that involves lowering the cost of goods and services for a short-term, in order to lure competing firms to lower their price, thus causing them to go bankrupt and exiting from the market.
