Two stockbrokers, in clear violation of the rules of their employer, sold worthless stocks to unsuspecting customers. There was

no question that the brokers had the actual or implied authority to sell the stock. The customers who lost money sued the brokerage firm, contending it was liable for their losses because the brokers had apparent authority. Did they?

Answer: Yes they did.

Explanation:

Apparent Authority refers to a scenario where a Agent is assumed to have the power to act on behalf of a Principal regardless of if said authority had not being expressly given whether implicitly or otherwise.

It is worthy of note that this power is only valid if the third party in the transaction assumes from the conduct of the agent, that they have such powers to act.

It is stated in the text that there was no question that the brokers had the actual or implied authority to sell the stock meaning that the Principal had not done enough to show that the agents did not have the Authority to act as they did. For this reason, they can indeed be sued under the Principle of Apparent Authority.

HELP! 20 POINTS!!!
Bingel [31]

The answer is D.)She would likely have to pay more than $55 at the time of purchase for the convenience of using her credit card.

There are always fees for using any type of credit card. Interests or not, you pay fees for the government. Lynn can pay even more if she doesn't pay the balance by the end of the month. Every time she uses the credit card, her balance fees rises. By the time she gets enough money to pay of the balance, her balance will be much bigger.

Hope this helps!!!

As a financial manager for WillPower, Inc, you have the following information: a) The company follows a residual dividend policy
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a. Amount funded with equity is $4,800,000

b. Dividend is $3,200,000

c. Dividend Payout ratio is 40.00%

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete, and the complete one is as follows:

As a financial manager for WillPower, Inc, you have the following information: a) The company follows a residual dividend policy; b) The total capital budget for next year is likely to be $8,000,000; c) The forecasted level of earnings next year is $8,000,000; d) The target or optimal capital structure is a debt ratio of 40%;

Please answer the following questions:

a. What will be the amount funded with equity for the project ? (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

b. Compute the amount of the dividend . (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

c. Compute the dividend pay-out ratio . (Keep the answer to two decimals. Example of the answer format: 55.55%)

The following are therefore the explanation of the answers to the question:

a. What will be the amount funded with equity for the project ? (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

Given that the target or optimal capital structure is a debt ratio of 40%, this implies that there will be 40% debt finance and 60% (100% - 40%) equity finance. Therefore, we have:

Amount funded with equity = Total capital budget for next year * Percentage of equity finance = 8,000,000 * 60% = $4,800,000

b. Compute the amount of the dividend. (Keep the answer to a whole number. Example of answer format: $1,000,000)

Since the company follows a residual dividend policy, it implies that the earnings available are employed to finance capital expenditure budget first before dividends are paid to the shareholders.

Since amount funded with equity is $4,800,000 as obtained in part a, it implies that this must be deducted first from the forecasted level of earnings next year to obtain the residual that will be paid as dividend as follows:

Dividend = Forecasted level of earnings next year - Amount funded with equity = $8,000,000 - $4,800,000 = $3,200,000

c. Compute the dividend pay-out ratio . (Keep the answer to two decimals. Example of the answer format: 55.55%)

Dividend payout ratio refers to the percentage of the earnings or net income of a company that is paid by the company to its shareholders as dividend. This can therefore be calculated

Dividend Payout ratio = Dividend / Earnings = $3,200,000 / $8,000,000 = 0.40, or 40.00%

Therefore, WillPower, Inc is expected to pay 40% of its earnings as dividend to its shareholders.

Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $100, direct labor of $30, and variable overhead of $45
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Selling Price per unit = $287.5 per unit

Explanation:

Provided quantum of sales = 10,000 units

Cost statement for 10,000 units

Direct material = $100 \times 10,000 = $1,000,000

Direct Labor = $30 \times 10,000 = $300,000

Variable Overhead = $45 \times 10,000 = $450,000

Fixed Overhead Costs = $635,000

Fixed Selling and administrative Cost = $115,000

Total = $2,500,000

Add: Profit mark up 15% = $375,000

Total Selling Value = $2,875,000

Selling Price per unit = $2,875,000/10,000 = $287.5 per unit

Can y’all help me figure this out. I ordered something off amazon and the order has been placed but then my account got locked a
Komok [63]

Answer: ez pz it says it there. "All new items will be put on hold or canceled". If it hasn't shipped yet, it will not be shipped. So you should get your money back. But or maybe you won't because your account got locked, and according to their terms and service, you will not get your money back if you did something wrong, illegal, or suspicious. And unless you didn't do anything wrong, your account got locked for that and you will not be getting your money back. If you didn't do anything wrong, try contacting Amazon support and they will help you get your account unlocked. They could also help you get it shipped/and/or get your money back.
