Answer: 12.5 %

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the simple interest formula:  

I = p x r x t  

Where:  

I = interest (investment after interests - principal; 12000-8000=4000)

P = Principal Amount (initial invest)  

r = Interest Rate (decimal form)  

t= time  

Replacing with the values given  

4,000= 8,000 (x) 4

Solving for x :

4,000= 32,000x

4,000/ 32,000 =x

x= 0.125

Since the interest rate is in decimal form, we have to multiply it by 100 to obtain the percentage.

0.125 x 100 = 12.5 %

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

1. Was East Hill Home Healthcare Services organized as a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a corporation?

East Hill Home Healthcare Services should be considered a closed corporation since there is a small number of stockholders and its shares are not traded in an open trade market.

2. During the current year, the records of the company were inadequate. You were asked to prepare the summary of the preceding transactions.

Since there is not enough room here, I used an excel spreadsheet.        

4. What amounts do you need? If some amount is missing, look at the attached PDF.

total assets = $870,000

total liabilities = $280,000

total equity = $590,000

current assets = $134,500

current liabilities = $100,000

5. Compute the current ratio for the current year

current ratio = current assets / current liabilities = $134,500 / $100,000 = 1.345

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

B) related-linked diversification.

Explanation:

A related linked diversification strategy refers to expanding a company's product lines with products or services that are similar to the ones that it currently offers.

In this case, Amazon first sold books and selling a e-book reader follows a similar path. Since Amazon had spare cloud computing capacity, it decided to "lease it" to other businesses and is currently Amazon's star service that generates most of its cash.

podryga [215]

Answer:

(i) Base year prices

(ii) between two consecutive years

Explanation:

formula for GDP deflator is (real GDP)/(nominal GDP) x 100 which is the numerator real GDP where prices are valued at the current year adjusted to inflation or deflation and then the denominator where prices are valued at a base year where prices are valued at a nominal year which are not adjusted to any inflation or deflation.

The CPI ( consumer price index) is calculated by determining the rise or fall in price of a good or goods in two consecutive periods which in turn gives us the increase or decrease in price percentage.

A student has a savings account earning 9% simple interest. She must pay $1400 for first-semester tuition by September 1 and $14
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: The answer is $2,759.22

Explanation: From the question above, we have:

September 1st to January 1st is 4 months, this is 1/3 of a year which means that the student will earn:

=> 9/3 = 3%

3% interest for the money that is saved is the savings account. So the student must put in at least:

x + 3%x = 1400

x + 0.03x = 1400

1.03x = 1400

x = 1400 / 1.03

x = 1,359.22

Therefore, if the student saves $1,359.22 in the savings account By September 1st, she will have $1400 by January 1st.

Also, the student needs to make $1400 for the first semester. So overall she will need to make:

1,400 + 1,359.22 = $2,759.22 during the summer in order to ensure that she will have enough money to pay for both semesters.

A __________________ exists when the quantity demanded in the market is less than the quantity at the bottom of the long-run ave
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Natural monopoly

Explanation:

A natural monopoly refers to a type of monopoly that occurs when the start-up costs or infrastructural costs are high or economies of scale in an industry are very powerful in such a way that only the largest supplier in the industry which is usually the first supplier in the market has a great advantage over potential competitors and therefore becomes the only supplier in the industry.

On the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve, a natural monopoly exists when the quantity demanded is less than the minimum quantity that is required to be at the bottom of the LRAC curve.

Therefore, a <u>natural monopoly</u> exists when the quantity demanded in the market is less than the quantity at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve.
