Explanation:
Stress tests are carried out to determine how financial systems would react in periods of extreme stress eg. financial or economic crisis. 
Stress situations are simulated and the reaction of the financial system to the stress is measured. Based on the reactions of the financial system, steps are taken to further improve or strengthen the financial system.

The activity that play an important role in connecting brands to consumers in the final phases of the buying process is C. Retailing.
<h3>What is the role of retailing in the buying process?</h3>
Retailing refers to the set of activities that allow for  consumers to be able to access goods and services that were produced by different companies and brands. The process of retailing often comes in the final phases of the buying project as it involves the consumers who are the end stage of the buying process as they are the ones to consume the goods and services being sold. 
Retailing is therefore hugely important because it connects the brands to the consumers that they serve . Without retailing, companies would make products and services and be unable to sell them to anyone as they would not have any connection to the final consumers .

Answer:
See the explanation section
Explanation:
Organizations calculate various costs with the help of the weighted average cost of capital. It is a significant cost measurement system through which organizations can calculate the cost of debt after tax, cost of new equities, cost of existing equities, and cost of preferred shares. WACC can be a benchmark for the organization. A firm needs to know those costs because it can make sure that whether those projects are running smoothly to continue or running worse to reject.
Another significant cost measurement method is the net present value. With the help of NPV, a business can make sure about a project to accept it or reject it. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
O'Hara Marine Co.
Depreciation Expense is:
$13,903
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
sales = $75,500; 
costs = $35,200; 
addition to retained earnings = $9,580; 
dividends paid = $8,420; 
interest expense = $2,620; 
tax rate = 23 percent
Net Income:
addition to retained earnings = $9,580; 
dividends paid = $8,420
Total net income = $18,000
Pre-tax Income = $18,000/0.77 = $23,377
Income tax (23%) of $23,377 = $5,377
After Tax Income = $18,000 ($23,377 - 5,377)
Depreciation:
sales = $75,500
costs = $35,200
Gross profit =     $40,300
Less interest         (2,620)
Less net income  (23,777)
Depreciation =    $13,903
 
        
             
        
        
        
I believe the answer is: Germany owed large debts to other countries after World War I
After being forced to surrender in world war I, the Allies forced Germany to pay back all the expense that other countries have to made due to the war that Germany initiated as their term of surrender.
This caused a massive increase in Germany's national debt and caused a downturn in their economy.
