As mentioned the alley was dark. So it is possible that there was someone else at the crime scene and the witness is mistaken to be that man. It is quite possible to see someone in the dark and mistaken them for someone else. As the alley was dark, eye witness testimony is not reliable.

The eyewitness doesn’t have any evidence whereas my client has an alibi and he was not present at the crime scene. Even if my client was standing near the boy it doesn’t prove that he killed someone.

Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

The bond can be issued at par, at a discount or at a premium depending on the coupon rate and the market interest. The price of the bond which pays semi annual coupon can be calculated using the formula of bond price. The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.

First we need to determine the semi annual coupon payment, periods and YTM.

Semi annual coupon payments = 2000000 * 0.1 * 6/12 = 100000

Semi annual periods = 5 * 2 = 10

Semi annual YTM = 0.08 * 6/12 = 0.04

Bond Price = 100000 * [(1 - (1+0.04)^-10) / 0.04]  +  2000000 / (1+0.04)^10

Bond Price = $2162217.916

The price of the bond is thus $2162290 approx. The difference in answers is due to rounding off.

Under the FLSA, regular rate of pay does not include: A. vacation pay. B. severance pay. C. overtime pay. D. earned bonuses. E.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

FLSA stands for Fair Labor Standard Act, which is defined as the act that usually requires, the covered non- exempt employees to receive the overtime pay, at least 1 and 1/2 times of their regular pay for the time they worked in excess of the 40 hours per week of the work.

The regular rate is defined as the remuneration which involves all the employment remuneration that are subject to the exclusions mentioned in the Section 7 under sub section (e) of the FLSA.

So, the vacation pay is the one which is not involved in the regular rate as any time earned gained over 40 along with the vacation is the straight time which will not be paid.
