Let's consider the issue of promoting competition---sounds like a core us value. competition is good for the consumer and good f

or business, but is it really? wal-mart has done wonders in providing low cost goods to help consumers manage tight budgets but is the mega-retailer really good for the economy? some would argue that when wal-mart comes into a small town, locally owned businesses dry up and are forced to close and that most of the money spent by consumers at wal-mart does not stay in the local community. maybe wal-mart has gotten too big for government (federal or local) to control. the same could be said about the oil and gasoline industry---prices seem to fluctuate without any relationship to the needs of the consumers, who many times do not have an alternative. my question is this, where should the line be drawn between promoting competition and regulation of business? should the federal government be more active in the regulation of such giants as wal-mart or the oil and gas industry or will open competition prove to be in the best interests of the consumer?

<span>Circumstances that help Walmart succeed usually makes it difficult for little businesses to thrive. The absence of government regulation generally profits big businesses and is unfavorable to small businesses. This leads to the emergence of monopolies and the abolishment of little businesses, even if they are original and innovative. In theory; more government regulation (if fair and just) would help small businesses compete more fairly with big business.</span>

Dee Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $40 per share. She borrows$4,000from her bro
levacccp [35]

Answer:

A. The stock is purchased for $40 x 300 shares = $12,000.

Given that the amount borrowed from the broker is $4,000, Dee's margin is the initial purchase price net borrowing: $12,000 - $4,000 = $8,000.

B. If the share price falls to $30, then the value of the stock falls to $9,000. By the end of the year, the amount of the loan owed to the broker grows to:

Principal x (1 + Interest rate) = $4,000 x (1 + 0.08) = $4,320.

The value of the stock falls to: $30 x 300 shares = $9,000.

The remaining margin in the investor's account is:

Margin on long position = "Equity in account " /"Value of stock"

= "$9,000 - $4,320" /"$9,000" = 0.52 = 52%

Therefore, the investor will not receive a margin call.

C. Rate of return = "Ending equity in account - Initial equity in account" /"Initial equity in account"

= "$4,680 - $8,000" /"$8,000" = - 0.4150 = - 41.50%

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Closed facts.

Explanation:

In a situation of close facts the action has already been taken before now, and the researcher is to analyse it and determine best course of action.

On the other hand when there is an open fact situation the action has not taken place yet, and the future action can be influenced to give a favorable result.

For example Jeremy has identified a research question that relates to a transaction that the client completed several months ago. This is a closed fact situation.

In the for-profit business world, decisions to spend money must pass a "cost versus benefit" test, but for nonprofit arts organi
Zinaida [17]

The cost versus benefit test will not act as a good factor to measure tangible achievement.      

Explanation:

Most of the Non-profit organization has a focus on welfare activities. The benefits can be influenced only by the subjective fulfillment of benefits. Executive members of all trusts are not able to calculate the benefits attained through welfare operations. Such a parameter system of identifying the beneficiaries' prospects of end-users is known as Intangible achievement.

The tangible achievement always lies in the status of invisible movements of each welfare operations. But each step of inducing the effects of cost versus benefit test does not suit to provide the effective to identify the tangible achievements.
