Is it possible that there really was a krait under the sheet?

1 answer:

7 0

I read the story Poison by Roald Dahl.

There is a possibility that there truly was a krait under the sheet. However, it may also be a figment of Harry's imagination because the krait did not bite Harry during the long hours it took them to check if it really is under the sheet.

Indian krait is a species of venomous snakes found in the Indian subcontinent. It is mostly found in the jungles but it can also be found in people's houses where warm places are abundant.

Chuck offers $240,000 for a house. The seller turns down the offer but says she will sell the house for $260,000. However, Chuck

Answer:

Chuck must be less than $260,000

Explanation:

The economic decision rule is: Do it if that marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost and Since Chuck was unwilling to purchase the house at $260,000, we can deduce that the marginal benefit of purchasing the house must be less than $260,000 due to the fact that the seller turns down the offer but says she will sell the house for $260,000.

The original cost of a LIFO inventory item is below both replacement cost and net realizable value. The net realizable value les

serg [7]

Answer:

D. Original cost.

Explanation:

As we know that the inventory should be valued at lower of cost or market value. Also , the market value is the middle amount among the replacement cost, net realizable value, net realizable value - normal profit margin

It can be the replacement cost or net realizable value. We don't have an idea which one is the middle amount

Also, if the original cost is less than the market cost so we assume that the inventory should be valued at original cost

Emma is the labor union negotiator. Today, she is meeting with management to discuss the new five-year contract, including wages

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Distributive bargaining

Explanation:

Distributive bargaining can be defined as a type of bargaining system/strategy in which one party gains only if the other party loses.

Distributive bargaining is mostly used when there is a negotiation that involves fixed resources e.g; money, assets, etc.

Distributive bargaining as a negotiation strategy does not aim to provide a win-win situation for all parties involved but that one party loses while the other gains considerably.

An example of distributive bargaining is a supermarket having a fixed price for an item. in that situation, you can't bargain and as such you either buy the item or leave the store.

That results in a win for the supermarket and a loss for you the buyer should yo choose to buy the item.

Keenan Industries has a bond outstanding with 15 years to maturity, an 8.75% coupon paid semiannually, and a $1,000 par value. T

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

b. 5.27%

Explanation:

First, find the PV of the bond today. With a financial calculator, input the following and adjust the variables to semi-annual basis;

Face value; FV = 1000

Maturity of bond; N = 15*2 = 30

Semiannual coupon payment = (8.75%/2)*1000 = 43.75

Semi annual interest rate; I/Y = 3.25%

then compute Price; CPT PV= 1,213.547

Next, with the PV , compute the yield to call (I/Y) given 6 years;

Maturity of bond; N = 6*2 = 12

Semiannual coupon payment = (8.75%/2)*1000 = 43.75

Price; PV= -1,213.547

Face value; FV = 1,050

then compute Semiannual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 2.636%

Convert the semiannual rate to annual yield to call = 2.636*2 = 5.27%
