nds that she otherwise won't live long enough to collect it all. The woman already received an immediate payment of $161,454, and she will receive 22 annual gross checks of $169,934.

Answer:

$2,216,588.59

Explanation:

The fair amount to trade her 22 future lottery receipts is the present worth of the future payments discounted using 5.1% discount rate as shown below.

The present value can be computed using the excel present value formula:

=pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the interest /discount rate of 5.1%

nper is the number of times the future payment would be made which is 22

pmt is the amount of each future payment.

fv is the future value worth of the 22 payments which is not known hence taken as zero

=-pv(5.1%,22,169,934,0)=$2,216,588.59

Dole Corp.'s accounts payable at December 31, 2020, totaled $900,000 before any necessary year-end adjustments relating to the f
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: $1,400,000

Explanation:

The checks to creditors were only mailed out in January so the creditor accounts had not been settled in December.

The goods purchased on December 28 should be included in the accounts payable account.

The goods that were shipped FOB Destination and were not yet delivered at year end will not be accounted for because FOB destination means that Dole will only take ownership when it reaches them.

Accounts payable is therefore:

= 900,000 + 350,000 + 150,000

= $1,400,000

RT is about to loan his granddaughter Cynthia $10,000 for 1 year. RT’s TVOM, based upon his current investment earnings, is 12%,
qaws [65]

Answer:

They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.

Explanation:

It has been provided that RT earns 12% on his current investments and would not like to receive an interest rate of less than 12% on the loan he gives.

if RT gives a loan of $10,000 for one year, he would charge an interest rate of minimum 12%.  

Interest = $10,000*0.12

             = $1,200

RT requires $1,200 in interest.

It has been provided that Cynthia earns 8% on her investment.

If she borrows $10,000 and invests the amount for one year, she can earn 8% return on such amount.  

Earning = $10,000*0.08

             = $800

Cynthia is going to earn $800

RT requires a minimum of $1,200 as interest for 1-year loan he gives while Cynthia can pay a maximum of $10,000 as interest for 1-year loan she takes. there is mismatch between the minimum expectation to receive of lender and the maximum expectation to pay of borrower.

Therefore, They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.

Question 1
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

This is an absolutely  great idea. The only problem is where are you planning to hold your Business? Where are you selling these candies? How will you spread the word? What can you do to make sure people come back and want more of your product?

Explanation: I always wanted to sell candy when I was little but never pulled the trigger on it. For starters I think you should make the names a bit more of a friendly connotation so people don't assume the worst of your product. Your best bet to sell your items and candies would be at school. Now to be honest more kids are carrying money around now than they ever had when I was in elementary-middle school. This is your best bet. Make sure when you are selling your candies to not go in debt with your business, so many people I know tried this and failed because they put way more money then they were making because they thought it would pay off. Yes sometimes take the risk but almost always if your just trying to make a couple bucks, take it easy and sell for a reasonable price. If it costs about $10 to make "Brown Cows" for about 20 people then sell each brown cow for $1.25 per stick. If you have 20 people who are willing to buy you would make 15 dollars profit. Final thing is actually finding people to sell to. Most people go at these type of things alone which I think is a great idea. But if you want to get the word out even more tell a popular kid that you will pay him 5  for every 20 "Brown Cows" he sells. You can really pay him anything you want as long as your not going over your profit margin! Good luck and I would love to know how this goes!

If a Cournot duopolist announced that it will double its output A. the other firm will double output also. B. the other firm doe
jekas [21]

Answer:

B) the other firm does not view the announcement as credible

Explanation:

The reason is that the other firm thinks that the announcing firm will make losses as it will not be able to sell the products in an imperfect market where both the firms have identical cost functions and knew all about the cost. So increasing the production when the demand is the same will decrease the price of the product and result in increased losses to the announcing company.

First City Bank pays 6 percent simple interest on its savings account balances, whereas Second City Bank pays 6 percent interest
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$ 2,621.28  

Explanation:

The simple interest I=P*R*T

P is the principal amount of $11,000

R is the simple interest rate of 6%

T is the number of years the interest relates to

I=$11,000*6%*11=$7260

Compound interest:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV is the amount of the deposit in eleventh year

PV is the amount deposited which is $11,000

r is the rate of return of 6%

n is eleven years

FV=$11000*(1+6%)^11=$ 20,881.28  

I=FV-PV= 20,881.28-11,000=$ 9,881.28  

Difference between interest earned=$9,881.28-$ 7260 =$ 2,621.28
