Answer:
The operators have not violated the antitrust laws because they are only collaborating to lobby the government
Explanation:
The antitrust law in the U.S. can be described as a group of federal and state government laws enacted to regulate the activities of business firms in order to enhance competition to the advantage of consumers.
The antitrust law aims to collusive activities that suppress trade, any merger and acquisition that would reduce competition, and prevent the the abuse of monopoly power.
Since the activity of the operators of adult bookstores does not fall under what the antitrust law aims to prevent but it is just a collaboration to lobby the government, they have a good defense that they have not violated the antitrust laws.

Answer:
The correct answer is Option A.
Explanation:
The effective interest rate (EIR) method is used when a bond is purchased at a discount or premium.
In the case of the question, the bond was purchased at $9,631 with a face value of $10,000. Interest expense is calculated as the bond price multiplied by the market rate, i.e. $9,631 x 11% = $1,059.41.
Therefore, ABC Company would record $1,059 on the first annual interest payment date using the effective-interest method.
Answer:
WACC (CAPM) 5.2%
WACC (ICAPM) 5.03%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is
Ke * E/ E+D + Kd * (1 -t) D / E+D
Ke = Rf + (Rm - Rf) * 
Ke (CAPM) = 3.50% + (8% - 3.50%) * 1.12
Ke (CAPM) = 7.532%
Kd (CAPM) = Kd (1-t)
Kd (CAPM) = 7.60 (1-39%)
Kd (CAPM) = 4.636%
WACC (ICAPM) : 7.532 * 20% + 4.636 * 80%
WACC (CAPM) = 5.2164%
Ke (ICAPM) = 3.50% + (8% - 3.50%) * 0.86
Ke (ICAPM) = 6.596%
Kd (ICAPM) = Kd (1-t)
Kd (ICAPM) = 7.60 (1-39%)
Kd (ICAPM) = 4.636%
WACC (ICAPM) : 6.596 * 20% + 4.636 * 80%
WACC (CAPM) = 5.03%
Answer: maximize the impact of the cost of marketing
Explanation:
The target market is a particular group of consumers that the advertisement of a product or service is typically aimed at.
Businesses adopt and identify target markets for their products to maximize the impact of the cost of marketing. When the target market for a product or service has been known by a company, the business can find the most efficient and effective strategy to advertise their product. This will help in the minimization of cost of marketing.
