Answer:
The boy: 8 years old
The sister: 11 years old
Explanation:
We assume that the age at present of the boy is x (years old).
As he is younger than his sister 3 years, so that his sister's present age is great than x 3 years
=> Her present age is: x + 3 (years old)
Two years ago, the boy is younger than present two years
=> The boy's age two years ago is: x - 2 (years old)
Similarly, the sister's age two years ago is: (x+3)-2 = x + 1 (years old)
As given, two years ago he was two-thirds of his sister's age, so that we have:
<em>The boy's age two years ago = </em>
<em> × the sister's age two years ago</em>
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
=> x + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11
So the present age of the boy is 8 years old, of the sister is 11 years old

Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

Several factors can contribute to long-term organizational success. One is the establishment of a core ideology that Collins and Porras (2002) describe as "core values and sense of purpose beyond just making money" (p. 48). Also, the importance of a visionary leader that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time is hard to over emphasize.

Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?
Word-for-Word plagiarism
Paraphrasing plagiarism
This is not plagiarism
This is not plagiarism.
Answer: Option 3.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Plagiarism in very simple words is the copying of the content of the document that has been written by some one else in to your own document. During this copying the due acknowledgement is also not given to the document from which it has been taken.
The document that has been talked about in the question above is not an example of plagiarism. The proof for this is the due acknowledgement given to the references from whose document the content has been taken into the document.

Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The proposed deal calls for the hardware chain to pay Harte $30,000 and $25,000 at the end of years 1 and 2 and to make an annual year-end payments of $15,000 in years 3 through 9. The final payment to Harte of $10,000 would be due at the end of year 10.
1)
Cash flows:
Year 1= 30,000
Year 2= 25,000
Year 3= 15,000
Year 4= 15,000
Year 5= 15,000
Year 6= 15,000
Year 7= 15,000
Year 8= 15,000
Year 9= 15,000
Year 10= 10,000
2) To calculate the present value we need to use the following formula for each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Year 1= 30,000/1.12= 26,785.71
Year 2= 25,000/1.12= 22,321.43
Year 3= 15,000/1.12= 13,392.86
....
Year 10= 10,000/1.12^10= 3,219.73
PV= $104,508.27
3) The present value of cash inflows is higher than $100,000. It is more convenient to decline the $100,000.
Answer: 7.46%
Explanation:
The CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL is a very useful tool for calculating a firm's Cost of Equity.
The Formula is,
Rc = Rrf + b(Rpm)
Where,
Rc is the Cost of Equity
Rpf is the Risk risk free rate
b is beta
Rpm is the risk premium
Plugging in the digits we have,
Rc = 0.0350 + 0.88(0.045)
= 0.0746
The firm's cost of equity from retained earnings based on the CAPM is therefore 7.46%
