Answer:

The correct answer is: No, it is not legal.

Explanation:

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a federal law that prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unreasonable, or misleading money-recovery methods. That is meant to protect debtors from harassment or intimidation.  

<em>Collectors cannot present themselves as law enforcement or government officials, they cannot call people at work or multiple times at home or during out hours, they cannot pass off papers as legal documents when they are not, they cannot arrest you, or lie in any way.</em>

Thus, <em>Sekelow has violated the FDCPA by sending debtors postcards requesting contact from their end.</em>

g100num [7]

Answer:

$160

Explanation:

her net monthly take home pay will be reduced by $200 x (1 - combined tax rate = $200 x (1 - 20%) = $200 x 0.8 = $160

You are offered a chance to buy an asset for $4,500 that is expected to produce cash flows of $750 at the end of Year 1, $1,000
zzz [600]

Answer:

<em>a. 22.64%</em>

Explanation:

At first we are going to need to compute the Internal rate of return(IRR) (in which the current value of inflows = the current value of outflows)

Let's let the IRR be <em>x percent</em>

Therefore $4,500 = $750 / (1.0x)

+ $1,000 / (1.0x) <em>power 2</em> + $850 / (1.0x) <em>power 3 </em>

+ $6,250 / (1.0x) <em>power 4</em>

Thus, x = approximate return rate = <em>22.64 percent</em>

Siebel Incorporated, a non-publicly traded company, has 2009 after-tax earnings of $25 million, which are expected to grow at 6
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Answer of each requirement is given seperatly below.

a What is the value of Siebel using the DCF method?

Value under DCF = CF * (1+growth rate)/ (WAAC" -Growth rate)

Putting values (assuming after tax earning is all in cash)

Value of SI = 25 (1+6%)/ 20%-6% = 189 million dollars

 

"WAAC calculation

Here WAAC is equal to cost of equity (ke) as company is debt free.

so

Ke = risk free rate + beta (risk premium)

    = 5 + 2.5 (6) = 20%

b What is the value using the comparable recent transactions method?

Based on recent tansaction the value of siebel incorporated will be               calculated as shown below

 Value of SI = Profit afte * 10 = 25 * 10 = 250 million dollars

Publicly-traded Rand Technology, a direct competitor of Siebel's sale is taken as bench mark.

c What would be the value of the firm if we combine the results of both methods?

By combining value of both value technique we get 189 + 250 = 439 million dollars.

Which are results of regulation in a mixed-market economy? Check all that apply.
solong [7]

<u>Answer:</u> Option 1 and Option 5

<u>Explanation:</u>

In mixed economies under the government regulation most of the production is done by private ownership. There is very little government intervention. The main aim of the government intervention is to make sure that the private business activities comply with the law of the country.

Another result of government regulation is to control the externalities created by these business structures. Government ensures there is no externality which affects the market as well as the people. Due to these regulations there is no advantages for producer or government. Also the markets cannot be controlled with these regulations in mixed market economy.
