Answer:

Michone's creditors (listed in order of priority):

  1. bank = $500,000 mortgage (secured loan)
  2. child support = $5,000 (priority class of unsecured creditors)
  3. legal fees = $4,000 (second class of unsecured creditors)
  4. State government* = property taxes for $8,000 (eighth class of unsecured creditors, but property taxes are always collected after a property is sold either by foreclosure or by court order). Even if the new buyer didn't know anything about the delinquent property taxes, he/she is responsible for paying them after the sale is made and it cannot be avoided.
  5. car accident victim = $40,000 (tenth class of unsecured creditor)

*Generally taxes owed are a lower class of priority unsecured creditors, but taxes never disappear. In this case, the property taxes are going to be paid by whoever bought the house or the bank in case the house was foreclosed. Michone will not pay them, but someone else will.

Assuming that Michone only had $10,000 left after selling the house (both property taxes and mortgage are paid for), she will need to pay child support first. Child support and alimony payments always have the top priority.

Then with the remaining $5,000 administrative and legal fees will be paid, meaning that the attorney fees will be paid first. The car accident victim will receive only $1,000.

You own a portfolio that has $2,950 invested in Stock A and $3,700 invested in Stock B. If the expected returns on these stocks
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

9.67%

Explanation:

The total value of the portfolio = $ 2,950 + $ 3,700  = $6,650

The proportion of the portfolio invested in stock A = $ 2,950 / $ 6,650 = 44.36% . The proportion of the portfolio invested in stock B = 100 - 44.36%  = 55.64%

The expected return of the portfolio = 0.4436*0.08 + 0.5564*0.11  = 0.035488 + 0.061204 = 0.096692 = 9.67%

The large investment the company made in the failed project most likely was made by a manager who did not fully understand "Sunk Costs".

<h3>What is Sunk Cost?</h3>

An price or investment that has already been made and cannot be recovered is referred to as a sunk cost.

Types of sunk cost are -

  • Investment in advertising. This money is lost if you advertise a new product; it cannot be recovered.
  • Investigation into a new product.
  • Labour expenses.
  • New software system installation and operational procedures.
  • Loss of relationships in business and reputation.

A retail store has two options for discounting items to go on clearance.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Difference = 1.75 , Function = mod [ 0.15x - 5 ]

Explanation:

Discount case 1 = $5 {Each week} , Discount case 2 = 15% {Each week}

After 1st week , for item cost = 45

  • Discount in case 1 = $5 , & price = 45 - 5 = 40  
  • Discount in case 2 = 15% of 45 = 6.75 , & price = 38.25

Difference in price = 40 - 38.25 = 1.75  .It is same is difference in discount = 6.75 - 5 , ie = 1.75

Functional rule in price difference , for item with unknown price 'x' =          mod [ (x - 5) - (x - 0.15x) ] = mod [ x - 5 - x + 0.15x ] =  mod [ 0.15x - 5 ] , which is same as difference between discount '0.15x & 5'

kirza4 [7]

The work breakdown structure provides a basis for creating the project schedule and performing earned value management for measuring and forecasting project performance. A work breakdown structure is also known as WBS- which helps break down the team's work into smaller, more manageable sections. By breaking down the sections into smaller groups gives more opportunity for completion before moving on to the next group and makes the tasks more managable.
