Creaky and Toady. Beverly decides to go on a great trip to Hawaii. She needs someone, however, to take care of her two dogs, Cre

aky and Toady, while she is gone. Creaky has hives, and Toady passes gas frequently because of a digestive problem. Beverly hires Frank three months in advance, and they reach a contractual arrangement whereby he will be paid $200 for keeping the dogs for two weeks. Frank comes over two months before Beverly is set to leave, takes one look at Creaky and Toady, and declares that they are too creepy to be around. Beverly then hires Alice who agrees to care for Creaky and Toady. Two weeks before Beverly is set to leave, however, Alice calls and tells her that she just broke both her legs in an automobile accident, sustained other injuries, and has been put on bed rest for two months. Finally, Alice hires Betty to care for the dogs and heads off to Hawaii, where she has a great time. Unfortunately, when Beverly returns home, she finds that Betty fell in love with Creaky and Toady and has absconded with them. It was a month before Beverly was able to get a court order requiring their return. Which of the following is true regarding Frank's refusal to keep Creaky and Toady?
A. She failed to substantially perform but only committed an immaterial breach.
B. She is guilty of only a nominal breach because she had a good excuse for breaching.
C. She is discharged from performance because of frustration of purpose.
D. She is discharged from performance because of impossibility of performance.
E. She committed a material breach.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000

<h2>f'(x)=0</h2>

f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}}  = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function  ad we get

f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />

Caribbean Reef Software has 8.4 percent coupon bonds on the market with 9 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

9.14%

Explanation:

Calculation for YTM

First step is to use financial calculator to find the I which represent Interest rate

FV = 1,000

PMT= 1,000*8.4%/2= 42

N= 9years*2= 18

PV= -955

Hence,

I= 4.57%

Now let calculate YTM

YTM = 4.57%*2

YTM =9.14%

Therefore YTM will be 9.14%

A company reported total equity of $161,000 at the beginning of the year. The company reported $226,000 in revenues and $173,000
Bond [772]

Answer:

$314,000

Explanation:

The computation of total assets is shown below:-

Total equity = $161,000

Revenue = $226,000

Expenses = $173,000

Liabilities at the end of the year = $100,000

Income of the year = $226,000 - $173,000

= $53,000

Total assets of the company at the end of the year = (Total Stock Holders Equity) + Total Liabilities

=(Total equity at the beginning of the year + Income for the year ) + Liabilities at the end of the year

= $161,000 + $53,000 + $100,000

= $314,000

patriot [66]

Answer:

The two methods used to forecasting labor demand and supply are: Statistical Method and Judgmental Method.

The Statistical method collects previous historic data regarding company's demand and supply for qualified employees and provides forecasting for the particular period. It is feasible when other factors remain same in the organisation. It is not feasible when the organisation changes its objectives, mission and vision etc

<u>Cost and Benefit</u>

It prevents future shortage of qualified employees

It avoids disruption over operation

The Judgmental method is when the company follow judgmental method, that is it is based on manager's experience of conducting survey to estimate employees requirements on future operation.

It is feasible for small and medium size organisation for short term forecast. It

<u>Cost and Benefit</u>

It avoids short-run shortage of employees

It avoids short-run surplus of employees.
