<span>Absolute Dominion is the current law involving ground water in Maine, Indiana, and Texas which in effect states that the owner of the property has complete control over the groundwater underneath their property and may pump that water up without regard to causing shortages with neighbors. Basically, you can pump as much as you want without worry about legal repercussions. Contrast this to the "reasonable use" rule that's used in most of the rest of the United States. The reasonable use rule prohibits landowners from "wasting groundwater" or transporting the groundwater off their property for use elsewhere. Now, how does this affect Nestle? In Maine there was a company called "Poland Springs" which pumped out groundwater for drinking in the local community. This company was purchased in 1980 by Perrier which is based in France. And finally, in 1992, Nestle purchased Perrier. Under Absolute Dominion, Nestle has no limit on how much groundwater they can pump and export to other locations without regard to long term sustainability.</span>

Mandesa, Inc., has current liabilities of $8 million, current ratio of 2 times, inventory turnover of 12 times, average collecti
Brut [27]

Answer:

The answer is: Cash and marketable securities $5,406,393

Explanation:

We have:

+ Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities = 2; with Current liabilities is given at $8 million => Current asset is $16 million;

+ Current asset = Inventory + Account Receivable + Cash and marketable securities <=> Cash and marketable securities = $16 million - Inventory - Account Receivable ( as current asset is calculated above at $16 million)

+ Average collection period = Account Receivable/ Credit Sales x 365 <=> Account Receivable = Average collection period/365 x Credit sales = 30/365 x 64 million = $5,260,274

+ Inventory turnover = Sales / Inventory <=> Inventory = Sales/ Inventory turnover = 64 million / 12 = $5,333,333

=> Cash and marketable securities = 16,000,000 - 5,333,333 - 5,260,274 = $5,406,393.

BC 'n D just paid its annual dividend of $.60 a share. The projected dividends for the next five years are $.30, $.50, $.75, $1.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$7.60

Explanation:

Find PV dividend per year at 14% discount rate;

0.30 / 1.14 = 0.2632

0.50 / 1.14² = 0.3847

0.75 / 1.14³ = 0.5062

1 / (1.14^4) = 0.5921

1.20 / (1.14^5) = 0.6232

Find the PV of the terminal cashflow;PV = \frac{\frac{1.40}{0.14} }{(1.14)^{5} }  = 5.2308

Next, sum up the PVs to find the price of the stock today;

Price = 0.2632 + 0.3847 + 0.5062 + 0.5921 + 0.6232 + 5.2308

= $7.60

noname [10]

Answer:

d. they have a large cohort of technically skilled university graduates who work for about one-fifth the pay of comparable American workers.

Explanation:

In the context of international trade, India, China, and the Philippines attract multibillion-dollar investments because: they have a large cohort of technically skilled university graduates who work for about one-fifth the pay of comparable American workers.

One of the major attractions of international trade is the exploitation of intellectual property and skills.

In China for example, research has shown that one major reasons why international trade grew was as a result of the number of Chinese workers, and the fact that they produced a sharp, sustained increase in productivity (that is, increased worker efficiency). Not to mention that the cost of labor was far cheaper than in America or Europe.
