Explanation:
This question has some irregularities. The correct question should be :
Elinore is asked to invest $4,900 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5,390 in one year's time. Elinore finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $ 5,341 in one year's time. U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case?
Solution
Given from the question
Investment (I) = $4,900
Return on investment (ROI) in one year = $5,341
Rate or opportunity cost of capital r is given by
ROI = I × (1 + r)
input the given data
$5,341 = $4,900 (1 + r)
$5,341 = $4,900 + $4,900r
$5,341 - $4,900 = $4,900r
r = ($5,341 - $4,900) / $4,900
r = 0.09
Or 9% in percentage
Answer:
Selective retention.
Explanation:
Selective retention occurs when a person more easily remembers things that are closer to their beliefs, values, and Interests than things that are not.
Luis does not want to do his shopping at big box stores but prefers to shop locally.

This is an example of selective retention.
The purpose of this category of interview questions is to obtain factual information about the interviewee.
Answer:
option (b) 20
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Net fixed assets = $400,000
Short-term liabilities = $30,000
Long-term liabilities = $20,000
Common stockholders' equity = $90,000
Total stockholders' equity = $100,000
Now,
Ratio of fixed assets to long term liabilities
= Net Fixed assets ÷ Long term liabilities
or
= $400,000 ÷ $20,000
= 20
Hence,
The correct answer is option (b) 20
