Answer:
- <u>investigate search engine criteria to improve search results</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Remember, the application of STEM implies using the knowledge found in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to carry out projects.
Since <u>the focus is on learning technology concepts</u>, the most likely, that is, the <em>project that is closest to technology </em>is investigating search engine criteria to improve search results.
Answer:
1-a.
in order to determine the present value of option a we can look for the PVIFA (annuity factor) for 24% / 12 = 2% monthly rate and 25 payments.
PVIFA = 19.523
Present value of the 25 payments = $540 x 19.523 = $10,542.42
+
Present value of final payment = $10,000 / (1 + 24%)²⁵/¹² = $6,388.10
PV = $16,930.52
Present value of option b = $16,638
1-b.
- b. option b (lower present value)
Answer:
Explanation:
Using future annuity formula
Fv = Pmt ( (1+r)ⁿ -1 )/ r
+ 1 = (1+r)ⁿ
In ( + 1) = n In ( 1+r)
n = In ( + 1) / In ( 1 + r)
FV, future value = $10,000, Pmt, periodic payment per year = $1,100, r rate = 11.82% = 0.1182 and n = number of years
n = 0.7297 / 0.11172 = 6.53 years approx 7 years
the last year payment will actually be less than $1,100
Answer:
$700
Explanation:
If a bond is issued at a lower price than the face value of the bond, then the bond is issued on the discount. This discount is amortized over the bond's life. This amortization will be expensed as Interest Expense.
Discount = Face value - Issuance price = $15,000 - $14,700 = $300
Bond's Life = 6 years
Amortization of discount = $300 / 6 = $50 annually = $25 semiannually
Coupon Payment = Face Value x coupon Rate = $15,000 x 9% = $1.350 annually = $675 semiannually
Interest Expense Includes both the coupon payment and discount amortization for the period.
Interest Expense = $675 + $25 = $700
Answer: Opportunity
Explanation:
1. Opportunity - Given the fact that employees are granted access to very important documents, this might provide them the opportunity to commit theft. Employees who occupy top positions have access to classified information of the company which when manipulated can result to disastrous consequences. It now be holds on the employers of labour or the internal control system, to limit access to such information so as to make it hard for such fraud to be committed.
The procedures used by auditors to provide evidence are in two phases namely; the planning phase and execution phase.
1. The procedure for the planning phase is - Designing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence in this case could be a red flag noticed in the account records. The person who tried to commit the fraud could change figures in places that may not be noticeable.
2. The procedure for the execution phase involves - Implementing Appropriate Procedures : The evidence could be seen as an error. This error most likely results in wasteful spending.
