Answer:
The important thing to remember here is that the interest is compounded semi annually, which means twice a year. When the 1st interest is compounded, the second interest is calculated on that new amount.
(11,500 + (11,500×6%)) = $ 12,190
(12,190 + (12190×6%)) = $ 12921.40
Explanation:
Answer:
$3,000 and $35,000
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
The depreciation expense would be
=(Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($50,000 - $5,000) ÷ (15 years)
= ($45,000) ÷ (15 years)
= $3,000
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
The book value would be
= (Original cost of equipment) - (depreciation × number of years)
= ($50,000) - ($3,000 × 5 years)
= $50,000 - $15,000
= $35,000
Answer:
Factors to consider:
1. Specialisation role
2. Complexity of sales process
3.Tenure
4.Geographical coverage
5. Sales Representative leadership
6. Support network
7. Internal Bureaucracy
8. Value add of managers
Factors not to consider;
1. Market share
2. Production process
3. Distribution process
4. Personal affiliation, race or religion
Explanation:
When considering a company's span of control, which simply means the number of junior staff a manager should manage, it is important to note factors relating to geographical coverage, a wide coverage can create difficulties in supervision to a manager. Consequently reducing the span of control.
Specialisation also help in ensuring the manager is an expert in the area he or she supervise. Experienced manager with good understanding of the tasks, good knowledge of the workers and good relationships with the workers, will be able to supervise more workers
The complexity of a sale process can affect a manager's supervision performance. if the sale process for example require an online payment to a final user who may not be physically available. Supervising such sales requires adequate training.
Other factors like; Tenure, Sales Representative leadership, Support network, Internal Bureaucracy, Value add of managers are paramount in determining span of control. However, market share, production process, distribution process and personal affiliation, race and religion should not affect the span of control.
Answer:
200
Explanation:
Base on the scenario been described in the question, the position required if the portfolio has a beta 1 is been calculated as follows .
number of contracts required is
Number of contract =10,000,000/(500×100)
Number of contract =10,000,000/50,000
Number of contract =200.
A long put position is needed because the contracts must provide a positive payoff when the market reduces.
The law of increasing opportunity costs is reflected in a production possibilities curve that is concave to the origin.
