Answer:

B. Workers lost these jobs because technological advances increased productivity.

Explanation:

The employees lost employment due to the increased efficiency of technological progress. By improving the productivity of manufacturing drivers, technological advancement expands an economic limit on the possibility of production, allowing equivalent output to be manufactured with fewer resources or more output to be manufactured with the same quantity of resources. For example a machine component that takes 5 men to lift and 10 to assemble in 5 minutes just takes a single machine that doesn't receive wages apart from lubricant a minute to lift and assemble perfectly. Definitely machines are replacing humans to increase efficiency and productivity. Only few humans are employed to supervise and monitor.

At the present time, Water and Power Company (WPC) has 10-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstandin
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

d. 2.94%

Explanation:

First, Calculate the Yield to maturity of the bond using the following formula

Use the following formula to calculate the YTM

P = [ C x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Where

F = Face value = $1,000

P = Price = $1,495.56

C = Coupon payment = Face value x Coupon rate = $1,000 x 10% = $100

n = numbers of periods = Numbers of years to maturity = 10 years

r = YTM = ?

Placing values in the formula

$1,495.56 = [ $100 x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-10 ) / r ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + r )^10 ]

r = 3.916%

Now calculate the after-tax cost of debt

After-tax cost of debt = YTM x ( 1 - Tax rate )

After-tax cost of debt = 3.916% x ( 1 - 25% )

After-tax cost of debt = 2.937%

After-tax cost of debt = 2.94%

An investor company owns 30% of the common stock of an investee company. The investor has significant influence over the investe
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Income for investee during the year ended December 31th 2019: $ 17,200

Explanation:

Purchase value                                       525,000

Equity proportion: 1,500,000  30% =    (450,000)

                           Goodwill                         75,000

Transactions during the year:

income 60,000 x 30% =  18,000

dividends 15,000 x 30% = (4,500)

unrealized profit 2018:

30,000 = cost (1.25)

30,000 / 1.25 = 24,000

gross profit 6,000

unrealized gain: 6,000 x 30% = (1,800)

unrealized profit 2019:

40,000 = cost (1.25)

40,000/1.25 = cost

cost = 32,000

gross profit: 40,000 - 32,000 = 8,000

proportion of unrealized gain:

                   8,000 x 30% =      (2,400)

profit for 2018 realized              1,800

                    net adjustment        600

<u></u>

<u>income from investee:</u>

18,000 - 600 (net unrealized gain) = 17,200

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: Clarification and justification.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the stage of <em>clarification and justification</em> of the negotiation process the parties do not need to be argumentative but instead they need to be educative to each other by showing the other what are the reasonable statements that are established in order to proove their positions on each argument done before. That is why, in this stage the positions of each party are discussed at length in order to comprehend what every party is supporting for and that is why this stage is called of ''justification''.
