The compound interest is 8.775%.

interest = p.

p is principal, i is the interest rate, and n is the periods. Inthis case, p is 2 and the interest is .8. (We can divide both sides by a million to make it simpler.) The number of periods is 4.

.8 = (2)(i)(4)

.8 = 8i

i = 10%. (solution)

Compound interest, again, is

interest = p [(1+r)^m - 1]

This time we can't cancel out the p by default. We must divide by 2if we want to avoid multiplying through. After doing so, we add 1to both sides.

1.4 = (1+r)^4

Log both sides.

log(1.4) = 4log(1+r)

log(1.4) / 4 = .0365 = log(1+r)

10^.0365 = 1 + r

1.08775 - 1 = r

r = 8.775%.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Acclaim Inc.

                                         Basic Trophies     Deluxe Trophies

Budgeted unit cost:

a. using single-plant o/h rate   $17.60                  $28.80

b. using departmental rates    $17.42                  $29.16

c. using ABC                            $18.26                  $27.48

d. They show different costs because the overhead rates are based on different parameters.

I recommend ABC system.  It is more fair because the overhead rates are based on product line's activity usage instead of an arbitrary figure.

Alex

Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198

Explanation:

Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.

When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.

The Balance here is,

= $3 * 66 resold shares

= $198

This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.

Backward integration is a vertical integration that extends the role of a organization to perform roles traditionally performed by firms in the supply chain.

In other terms, backward integration is where an enterprise imports another company providing the necessary goods or services for production.

For examples, an company might purchase the product or raw materials manufacturer. Businesses often complete retrograde incorporation of these other businesses or combine of them. However, they may set up their own divisions to perform this mission.
