Wearing a lap and shoulder belt combination can cut your chance of being killed by 50%.

When you are sitting on the front seat of a car, you are more likely to hit on the front screen in case of accident. And a hit with the wind screen mostly results in severe injuries of the passenger. so when a lap and shoulder belt is fastened, the likelihood of being severely injured is reduced to 50%. It is because of the fact that the passenger gets stuck with the belt and doesn't hit the wind screen.

So it is very much needed to fasten the seat belt for your security.

50%

Explanation:

A. Safety belts are most effective when used properly. Each vehicle made today has a lap/shoulder belt combination. It should go over the shoulder and across the center of the chest. Lap belts should fit comfortably across the hips, not over the stomach. Don't make slack in your seat belt and don't tuck a shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back for any reason, including to defeat the seat belt alarm.

B. Seat belt has saved 14,668 people in 2016 in vehicle accidents.

C. The national use rate of lap and shoulder belt in America is 90.1 percent.

Suppose China exports TVs and uses the yuan as its currency, whereas Russia exports vodka and uses the ruble. China has a stable

Damm [24]

Answer:

The real exchange rate would result in a growth of the relative price of Chinese TVs over the price of Russian Vodka.

This is because Chinese TVs are becoming more technologically advanced, increasing both their nominal and real value, while Russian Vodka is being produced en masse, but without technological progress, decreasing both its nominal and real value.

The nominal exchange rate would result in the ruble depreciating strongly against the Yuan.

The quick growth of money supply in Russia means inflation, and this added to the loss of value of the Vodka exports, results in the decrease of nominal value for the ruble against the Yuan, which has a moderate growth in money supply (meaning moderate inflation), and benefits from the exports of a good that is appreciating (the Chinese TVs).

Luthan Company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate of $22.20 per direct labor-hour. This predetermined rate was based o

nalin [4]

Answer:

The amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to all jobs during the period is $279,720

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of manufacturing overhead is shown below:

= Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor-hour × total direct labor-hours

= $22.20 × 12,600 direct labors

= $279,720

Since the predetermined overhead rate is already given in the question, so there is no need to recalculate it and the other items which are mentioned are not relevant for the computation part. Hence, ignored it

Williams Corp. is considering signing contracts that will obligate the firm to purchase 100000 Swiss Francs worth of computer eq

ella [17]

Answer:

$80,000

Explanation:

Given that at the end of each quarter, William corporation will purchase 100,000 Swiss francs worth of computer equipment for next 2 years. A local high school will still purchase this computer equipment at $89,000 each quarter for the next 2 years.

This means, we have the following:

Cost of purchase = 100,000 * number of quaters = 100,000 * 8 = 800,000

Convert to USD at an exchange rate of $0.79 = 800,000 * 0.79 = $632,000

Cost of purchase in USD = $632,000

Also, find the revenue generated after selling the computer equipments to the high school.

Revenue generated = $89,000 * number of quaters = $89,000 * 8 = $712,000

Williams' profit or loss would be calculated using the following:

Profit(loss) = Revenue generated - Cost of purchase

= $712,000 - $632,000

= $80,000

Since we have a positive value, Williams would make a profit of $80,000 through out the life of the contract.

Biden Resorts Company currently has 0.2 million common shares of stock outstanding and the stock has a beta of 2.2. It also has

frutty [35]

Answer:

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 15.87%.

Explanation:

We have to find current weights,

Value of equity = Shares x Share price = 0.2 x 10 = $2 million

Face Value of Bonds FV = $1 million

Semi annual coupon P = 1 x 8% / 2 = $0.04 million

Number of coupons remaining n = 5 x 2 = 10

Semi annual yield r = 13.65% / 2 = 6.825%

Value of Debt = Px [1 - (1 + r)-n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n

= 0.04 x [1 - (1 + 0.06825)-10] / 0.06825 + 1 / (1 + 0.06825)10

= $0.8 million

Total Value = 2 + 0.8 = $2.8 million

Weight of Debt = 0.8 / 2.8 = 28.57%

Weight of Equity = 2 / 2.8 = 71.45%

Amount of Debt to be raised = Weight of debt x Capital

= 0.2857 x 7.5

= $2.14 million

Since the amount of debt to be raised is less than $2.5 million, the yield will be 13.65%

Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

= 3% + 2.2 x (10 - 3)

= 18.4%

The weighted average cost of capital:-

WACC = Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x (1 -Tax Rate) + Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity

= 0.2857 x 13.65% x (1 - 0.3) + 0.7145 x 18.4%

= 15.87%
