Answer:

If the accountants of an organization are to concentrate only on financial information then there will be no advantage. The both party (organization and the accountant) might suffer if this happened.

Moreover, it would be very costly to have two systems rather than one that captures and processes operational facts at the same time as it captures and reports financial facts.

The main disadvantage of this is that accountants would ignore much relevant information about the organization's activities. To the extent that such non-financial information (e.g., market share, customer satisfaction, measures of quality, etc.) is important to management, the value of the accounting function would decline.

Ronch [10]
Last year mike bought 100 shares of Dallas corporation common stock for = $53 per share
he received this year dividends of = $1.45 per share
stock is currently selling for = $60 per share
rate of return = ?
capital yield %= (60 - 53 / 53) x 100 = 0.132  x 100 = 13.2%
dividend yield % = (1.45 / 53) x 100 = 0.0273 x 100 = 2.73%
Total yield or rate of return will be = 13.2 + 2.73 = 15.94 %

Answer:

The depreciation for 2020 is $233.33

Explanation:

Under the MACRS, computer useful life is 5 years.

The depreciation rate for every year, applying double declining method is: 100% / 5 = 20%. So, depreciation expenses for first year of the computer is calculated as: Cost of the computer x 20% = = 2,000 x 20% = $400.

As the computer is purchased in May, the year 2020 would only account for 7 month out of the first year of depreciation. Thus 2020 depreciation expenses = First year depreciation x 7/12 = 400 x 7/12 = $233.33

The first step a domestic firm takes when entering an international arena is usually to create an international division.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The answer is: False

Explanation:

Whenever a company wants to go international it has a lot work to do before creating an international division. Several things must be done before, mostly research, for example:

  • Research if your product is know overseas, is there any possible market for it, are there any restraints for your products in those new markets.
  • Any legal constraint or logistical problem you have to consider.
  • Any local competition you have to worry about.
  • Does your product fit in a new culture.
  • And very many etceteras.

That should all be done before considering spending money on creating an international division.

Probably when the internet didn´t exist, communications were scarce, no Tv existed, people in one country didn´t know anything about other cultures, etc., a comp nay would have first created an international division to scout foreign markets but right now it doesn´t make sense.

Net interest margin—often referred to as spread—is the difference between the rate banks pay on deposits and the rate they charg
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

(a) P(X\:>\:5.40)=0.9938

(b) P(X\:

(c) X=4.975 percent

Explanation:

(a) Find the z-value that corresponds to 5.40 percent

.Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Z=\frac{5.40-4.15}{0.5}

Z=\frac{1.25}{0.5}=2.5

Hence the net interest margin of 5.40 percent is 2.5 standard deviation above the mean.

The area to the left of 2.5 from the standard normal distribution table is 0.9938.The probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin that exceeds 5.40 percent is 1-0.9938=0.0062

(b) The z-value that corresponds to 4.40 percent is Z=\frac{4.40-4.15}{0.5}=0.5The net interest margin of 4.40 percent is 0.5 standard deviation above the mean.

Using the normal distribution table, the area under the curve to the left of 0.5 is 0.6915

Therefore the probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin less than 4.40 percent is 0.6915

(c)  The z-value that corresponds to 95% which is 1.65

We substitute the 1.65 into the formula and solve for X.1.65=\frac{X-4.15}{0.5}

1.65\times 0.5=X-4.150.825=X-4.15

0.825+4.15=X

4.975=X

A bank that wants its net interest margin to be less than the net interest margins of 95 percent of all U.S. banks should set its net interest margin to 4.975 percent.
