I would say that Ernest is experiencing culture shock with regards to his initial experiences in China. The behaviour of his clients to his request for a signed contract, the cities being so crowded and transportation being difficult within the cities and food he liked being hard to find are all aspects of this. However, if he persisted he probably would find ways of dealing with these things and discover how to develop trust with his clients, find transportation that suited him and with searching and asking find at least one or two places that had the food he liked. From my own experience, I had a job in El Salvador and suffered culture shock re how aggressive the drivers were so I learned to be aggressive or at least assertive in my driving and thus had more success in this respect.

kofi electronics bought a shipment of Tvs at a net price of $477.36 each, after discounts of 15%,10% and 4%. what is the list pr
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$650

Explanation:

Let x be the list price of the Tvs

85% of x = 0.85x

90% of 0.85x = (0.9)(0.85)x

96% of (0.9)(0.85)x = (0.96)(0.9)(0.85)x

The net price is given by $477.36

Therefore, $477.36 = (0.96)(0.9)(0.85)x

Hence x = $477.36 / (0.96)(0.9)(0.85)

x = $477.36 / 0.7344

x = $650

So, the list price is the list price

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Current price of bond is $1060.47

Explanation:

Coupon payment = 1000 x 8% = $80 yearly = 80/2 = $40 semiannually

Number of periods = n = 8 years x 2 periods per year = 16

Yield to maturity = 7% yearly = 7% / 2 = 3.5%

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.5% )^-16 ) / 3.5% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 3.5% )^16 ]

Price of the Bond = $80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.035 )^-16 ) / 0.035 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.035 )^16 ]

Price of the Bond = $483.76 + $576.71

Price of the Bond = $1,060.47

The problem could most likely be a weak hydraulic brake hose.
A weak hydraulic brake hose could cause a spongy pedal. As the pressure builds in the system, the hose may expand and not relay  the pressure to the brake units.

The following information is available for a company's cost of sales over the last five months.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

$23,602

Explanation:

For computing the estimated total fixed cost, first we have to determine the variable cost per unit which is shown below:

Variable cost per unit = (High cost of sales - low cost of sales) ÷ (High units sold  - low units sold)

= ($59,000 - $29,400) ÷ (2,200 units  - 360 units)

= $29,600 ÷ 1,840 units

= $16,09

And, the fixed cost equal to

= High cost of sales - (High units sold × Variable cost per unit)

= $59,000 - (2,200 units × $16.09)

= $59,000 - $35,398

= $23,602
