The Demand would commonly be an uncertain variable cell

Explanation:

Consumer demand is a catalyst for retail sales. In turn, production and delivery to distributors must continue for suppliers and distributors. The lack of an adequate inventory to satisfy consumer demand is an important business issue with several symptoms.

The first major problem with inadequate inventory to meet demand is revenue failure.

In the long run, the depletion of consumers is a major concern not to meet consumer demand.

When you have unhappy customers on the street you have poor word of mouth ads. Although the issues in the company carry more weight, failure to meet consumer demand has several other economic effects.

For a client, realising a commodity you want is not available is disappointing.

Any differences in future development of monozygotic twins can be attributed only to "environmental factors".


Twins can be either monozygotic or dizygotic. monozygotic refers to the identical twins which means that they develop from one zygote, which splits and forms two embryos. And dizygotic refers to fraternal twins, which means that they develop from two different eggs. In fraternal twins, each twin is fertilized by its own sperm cell.

Fama’s Llamas has a WACC of 9.7 percent. The company’s cost of equity is 12 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 7.5 percent.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

0.4766

Explanation:

Given:

WACC = 9.7%

Company’s cost of equity = 12%

Pretax cost of debt = 7.5%

Tax rate = 35%

Now,

WACC

= Weight × Cost of equity + (1 - weight) × Pretax cost of debt × (1-tax rate)

0.097 = weight × 0.12 + ( 1 - weight ) × 0.075 × (1 - 0.35)

0.097 = 0.12 × weight + 0.04875 - 0.04875 × weight

0.04825 = 0.07125 × weight

weight = 0.6772

also,

weight = $\frac{\textup{Equity}}{\textup{Debt + Equity}}$

$\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{weight}}$ = $\frac{\textup{Debt+equity}}{\textup{Equity}}$

$\frac{1}{0.6772}$ = $\frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}$ + 1

1.4766 = $\frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}$ + 1

$\frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}$ = 0.4766

How much of the following is taxable? a. Cheline, an actress, received a $6,400 gift bag for attending the Academy Awards Ceremo

Bingel [31]

Answer:

A. $6,400

B. $240

C. $1,000,000

D. $30,000

Explanation:

Requirement A, C, and D:

Prizes and awards are taxable income for a taxpayer. Any awards or prizes won from the lottery or television should be added to the income. Therefore, the Winning lottery is a taxable income for Kerry, $1,000,000. Again, Receiving the award for scientific research is also taxable income for Deborah, $30,000.

The winning award for accomplishments is also a taxable income. So, receiving a $6,400 worth gift bag is a taxable income for Cheline.

Requirement B:

There is an exception if the award is for tangible property and a long-years of accomplishment. At that time, the taxpayers will be excluded from some part of the necessary amounts to be paid as tax. If it is not a qualified award, the exclusion will be $400. If it is qualified, the tax exclusion is 1,600. Since Jon received a gold watch for 25 years of service and the gift is not qualified, he has to pay tax for $(660 - 400) = $240.
