Answer:

The equivalent continuously compounding rate is 0.02%

Explanation:

Forward price of the contract in 3 months:

F = S x e^(r*t)

Expected equity market return of the stock in 3 months:

E(r) = F/S -1 = e^(r*t) -1 = e^(8%*1/4) - 1 = 0.0202 or 2.02%

Annual market rate or Annual market rate premium with rf as the risk-free interest rate per annum with quarterly compounding.

r = E(r) - rf = 2.02% - 8%/4 = 0.02%

The quarterly compounded rate (rq) is given by:

rq= 4 x [(r/2 + 1)^(1/2) - 1]

where r as the annual market risk rate.

Apply the above formula to the question:

rq=4 x [(0.02%/2 + 1)^(1/2) -1] = 0.0002 or 0.02%

If there were no rules or information security standards governing the data that makes up an e-commerce transaction, the Internet would not be as popular as it is now.

It is well recognized that using cyber security is important for e-commerce. Because cyber assaults may result in significant loss of income, data, and company viability, cyber security is crucial for e-commerce. Be aware that an increase in online crime may cause a crash. Therefore, I would say that, in the absence of regulations or information security standards pertaining to the data that makes up an e-commerce transaction, the Internet would not be as popular as it is now.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Corrected income before tax year 2017 = $65,690  

Corrected income before tax year 2018 = $102,467

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

 

Particular                                            Year 2017 ($) Year 2018 ($)    

Income before tax                                            101,000    84,100    

Corrections      

1. In 2017, unearned sales                           -36,200      

Sales added in 2018                                                      36,200    

2. In 2017, understated ending inventory    9,500      

In 2018, overstated opening inventory                      -9,500    

3. Add-wrongly charged interest expenses    13,800            13,800    

Less-actual interest expenses      

In 2017 ($230,000-$14,000)×7%=$216,000×7% -15,120      

In 2018, bond of carrying amount

       =$216,000+($15,120-$13,800)=$217,320      

In 2018, Actual interest expense=($217,320×7%)    -15,212    

4 Add-wrongly charged depreciation expenses      

In 2017=($8,100×10%)                                           810      

In 2018,=($8,100-$810)×10%+$8,500×10% =                      1,579    

Less-actual expenses for repairs                          -8,100    -8,500    

Corrected income before tax                         65,690   102,467
