Explanation:
Individuals may find it more advantageous to purchase claims from a financial intermediary rather than directly purchasing claims in capital markets because of several reasons.
The financial intermediaries such as commercial banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, pension funds, etc. are more diversified than individual investors. They provide a number of options for borrowing and lending.

Answer:
Letter B is correct. <em>Lead Users</em>.
Explanation:
Term developed by prof. Eric von Hippel, Lead Users are those users who are able to transform, adapt and modify a company's product or service for their own benefit, as they face the same market needs a while before regular users.
For Prof Eric von Hippel, there are four steps in developing Lead Users:
- Preparation,
- Needs and Trends Identification,
- Lead Users Identification, and
- Concept Design.
The premise is that the Lead Users method is effective in identifying innovation and product trends that need to be developed for a market for your needs.
Answer:
1-a.
in order to determine the present value of option a we can look for the PVIFA (annuity factor) for 24% / 12 = 2% monthly rate and 25 payments.
PVIFA = 19.523
Present value of the 25 payments = $540 x 19.523 = $10,542.42
+
Present value of final payment = $10,000 / (1 + 24%)²⁵/¹² = $6,388.10
PV = $16,930.52
Present value of option b = $16,638
1-b.
- b. option b (lower present value)
Answer:
$146,212.00
Explanation:
PMT which is the annual savings is $2000
Rate is 8%
The annual savings would last for 25 years(65-40)
FVIFA FACTOR=(1+r)^n-1/r
r=8%
n=25
FVIFA FACTOR=(1+8%)^25-1/8%
FVIFA FACTOR=(1.08)^25-1/0.08
FVIFA FACTOR=(6.848475196-1)/0.08=73.106
Amount in the account at retirement=PMT*FVIFA FACTOR
Amount in the account at retirement=$2000*73.106=$146,212.00
Answer:
$162,000
Explanation:
The amount of cost of goods manufactured is computed as
= Labor cost + Direct materials purchased + overhead costs - ending balance of materials - ending balance of work in process
= $57,000 + $25,000 + $88,000 - $3,000 - $5,000
= $162,000
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured is $162,000
