The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a foreign policy embarrassment for the Kennedy Administration.
When John Kennedy assumed the presidency after Dwight Eisenhower, he was faced with the pressure to act on Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's growing relationship with the Soviet Union (yet another of US' formidable enemies).
His senior advisers urged him to authorize the attack on Cuba and initiate a movement to overthrow Fidel Castro. This played on Kennedy's foreign principle which is for Democratic countries such the US to show a strong force against dictatorships like Castro's. In April 1961, the invasion at the Bay of Pigs failed extremely. Castro was quick to mobilize his militia to counter Kennedy's botched plan. Aside from this, Kennedy made some worst decisions that nailed the coffin shut. Thus the Kennedy Administration suffered a lot of damage due to this failure.

At the beginning of fiscal 2017, Wooster Company acquired a small savings and loan association for $102 million. The book value

bija089 [108]

Answer:

C. $17.25 million

Explanation:

In case of an acquisition, the assets are valued at their fair value and we will also include all unrecorded liabilities. Goodwill will be the excess payment over the net assets of the company. Excess fair value of land means that assets would increase by that amount to arrive at their fair value. Also, We have to include unrecorded liabilities in the total liabilities

Net Assets = Fair value of assets - Total liabilities

Or, Net Assets = (Book value of assets + Excess Fair value of land) - (Book value of liabilities + unrecorded liabilities)

Or, Net Assets = ($261 million + $3 million) - ($172.50 million + $6.75 million) = $84.75 million

Amount paid to acquire = $102 million

Goodwill = $102 million - $84.75 million = $17.25 million

Determine whether each survey question is biased or unbiased. If biased, explain your reasoning. Do you prefer watching exciting

My name is Ann [436]

Answer: 2. biased; the question encourages a certain response.

Explanation:

The question is biased because it already makes assumptions of the two activities.

It labels football games as EXCITING whilst asking if one would 'SIT THROUGH' choir recitals which is a way of saying that the choir recitals are BORING.

This question therefore elicits a certain response as most people would go with the Exciting activity so as not to be seen as boring people who would go to choir recitals.

You purchased shares of stock one year ago at a price of $62.37 per share. During the year, you received dividend payments of $1

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

real rate of return= 10.93%

Explanation:

The return on equity is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.

Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.

Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:

Capital gain = $69.49- 62.37 = 6.92

Dividend -= 1.77

Nominal return on stock= (1.77 + 6.92)/ 62.37 × 100 = 13.93 %

Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money

Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.

Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.

The relationship between inflation, real return and nominal return rate is given using the Fishers Effect;

N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1

N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation

real rate of return = (1.1393)/ (1.027)- 1 = 0.1093

real rate of return = 0.1093 × 100 = 10.93%

real rate of return= 10.93%
