I can help with question two, but not question three.
The answer to question two is that biotech companies are part of the global industry from day one. Because capital is global, diseases know no borders, people are mobile, and you can get science anywhere in the world, there is an immediate competition with all other bioscience companies in the world.
In other words, when you start a biotech company in the US, you are immediately competing with biotech companies in Japan, the UK, etc. because you're all competing for the same capital, the same consumers, the same pharmacies, etc.
My best guess for question three is just that regulations are always important for global businesses (or really any business in general) as they protect both the businesses, the employees, and the consumers. In the case of biotech businesses, they protect people from false advertising of the benefits of products for example.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
a.- $ 3,529.82
b.- $ 3,512.11
c.- $ 132,77
Explanation:
In each case, we must calculate the value of their current savings and the additional investment.
The saving are the same for each scenario so let's calculate that first:
Principal 1,500.00
time 15 years
rate 0.01000
Amount 1,741.45
Then we add the funds generated from the investment:
a.- 110 annuity due for 15 month:
C $ 110
time 15 months
rate 0.01
FV $1,788.3651
We add the savings and get a total of: $ 3,529.82
b.- 110 ordinary annuity
C $ 110
time 15 months
rate 0.01
FV $1,770.6585
Plus, original savings of 1,741.45 = 3,512.11
c.-
If they need 3,900 then the fund must cover the difference between these and the savings future value:
3,900 - 1,741.45 = 2,158.55
Now we calculate the PMT, considering the payment are at the beginning:
FV $ 2,158.55
time 15
rate 0.01
C $ 132.770
Answer:
None.
Explanation:
Ned is not allowed to deduct the loss on rental property against her income. In USA real estate losses are allowed for tax payers to be deducted from their income if they own a rental property. A tax payer can deduct $25,000 of real estate loss on gross income of $100,000 or less. If adjusted gross income of an individual exceeds $150,000 then real estate losses deductions are not allowed. Ned has income of $160,000 which is above the threshold of $150,000 therefore no losses can be deducted from the income.
If $60,000.00 is the total sales from selling toaster ovens at $16.00 each, then the total units of toaster ovens sold would be 3,750.00 units. If expenses where given, say for example, 40% of the sales, with a profit before tax of $60,000.00, then total sales should be $84,000.00 equivalent to 5,250 units of toaster ovens.
