Answer:

correct answer is b. $444,000

Explanation:

given data

acquired = 40%

voting stock = $420,000

2020 Park earned =  $120,000

2021 Park earned =  $160,000

paid dividends = $50,000

paid dividends = $40,000

sold half of its stock in Park = $275,000

solution

we get here Balance at December 31 2020 that is express as

Balance at December 31  = Acquisition price  +  share in net income-share in dividend   .........................1

put here value we get

Balance at December 31  =  420000 + (120000 × 0.4) - (60000 × 0.4)

Balance at December 31  = 444000

so correct answer is b. $444,000

blagie [28]

Answer: I found the complete question on Google:

By 2017, McDonald's had stopped selling Chicken McNuggets and other products made from chickens fed antibiotics. The change increased McDonald's costs, but an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that "...McDonald's ability to raise its prices is limited because of stiff competition."Source: David Kesmodel, Jacob Bunge, and Annie Gasparro, "McDonald's to Curb Antibiotics in Chicken," Wall Street Journal, March 4, 2015. Does this "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is horizontal? Briefly explain.

And the correct answer is: "B. ​No, the demand curve is not horizontal because Chicken McNuggets are not identical to other chicken products.".

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

Answer:

The answer is III) make simultaneous trades in two markets without any net investment.

Explanation:

Arbitrage is simultaneously buying an asset ( may be currency, securities...) in a low-priced market and sell it in a high-priced market.

As a results, the investor earns profit from price differences in the two markets without risk and net investment. It is because the two trading happens at the same time once price differences in any two markets are recognized ( arbitrage opportunities recognized) and the proceed of selling the asset is immediately used for financing/returning to the buying of the asset.

Thus, (III) is the correct answer.
