Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

This is false because computation of effective annual rate do recognize interest compounding. It is the interest rate that is earned or paid on investment or loans as a result of COMPOUNDING over a given period of time. Emphasis on the interest earned after accounting for the effects of compounding. It differs alot from annual percentage rate in that annual percentage rate does not take into consideration the effect of compounding in most part of the world.

Free Spirit Industries Inc.’s current ratio is 1.3333, and tis quick ratio is 0.7467; Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s current ratio is 1.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Jong Foodstuffs Inc. has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities that Free Spirit. - TRUE

2. A current ratio of 1 indicates that the book value of the company’s current assets is equal to the book value of its current liabilities. - TRUE

3. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. - TRUE

4. Compared to Free Spirit, Jong Foodstuffs has less liquidity and a lower reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations. FALSE

5. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. FALSE

Explanation:

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.    

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

As both ratios are bigger in Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s case, statement 1 is True and statement 4 is False. Because how ratios are calculated, and the meaning of its terms, statement 2 and 3 are True. And because an increased in current ratio, may implicate a rise in inventory, and therefore a decreased in quick ratio, statement 4 is False.

RuthAnn is 28 years old and is retiring at the age of 65. When she retires, she estimates that she will need an annual income of
inessss [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

From her current age of 28 to her retirement age of 65, RuthAnn has (65 - 28 =) 37 more years to work.

If she saves 11% of her annual income of $36,278.13 into a 401(k), she will be setting aside (11% * 36,278.13 =) $3,990.59 into the 401(k) account annually.

At 7.1% compounding rate, in 37 years, RuthAnn would have set aside an amount estimated by the future value of an annuity formula.

FV = \frac{A(1+r)^{n} - 1}{r}

where FV is the future value, the amount that would have been set aside,

A = is the annual savings,

r = is the compounding rate, and

n = is the number of years.

Therefore, the total amount that would be saved up after 37 years =

FV = \frac{3,990.59(1+0.071)^{37} - 1}{0.071}

= (3,990.59 * 11.6535)/0.071

= $654,990.31.

By spending $32,523 annually from an account earning 7.1% compound interest rate for 30 years, the present value of the total amount needed by RuthAnn today that will be sufficient for her retirement spending can be estimated using the present value of an annuity formula.

PV = \frac{A(1 - (1+r)^{-n}}{r}

= PV = \frac{32,523(1 - (1.071)^{-30}}{0.071}

= (32523 * 0.8723)/0.071

= $399,574.83.

Since the amount saved up ($654,990.31) is more than the total amount required for RuthAnn's retirement ($399,574.83), RuthAnn has more than sufficient to meet her Retirement goal.

Specifically, the amount she has saved up can support a maximum annual spending which can be estimated from the present value of an annuity formula.

PV = \frac{A(1 - (1+r)^{-n}}{r}

where PV = the amount saved up, $654,990.31,

A = the annual spending which we are estimating,

r = the 7.1% compound interest rate,

n = the number of years to retirement.

654,990.31 = \frac{A(1 - (1.071)^{-30}}{0.071}

= 654,990.31 = (A * 0.8723)/0.071

= A = 654,990.31/0.8723 * 0.071

= A = 53,312.29

Thus, the amount saved up can support a maximum retirement spending of $53,312.29, which is higher than the $32,523 annual income needed by RuthAnn for her retirement.

Which of the following is NOT one of the main motivations and characteristics of an entrepreneur?
mojhsa [17]

Process of elimination:

Flexibility is a characteristic because entrepreneurs are designing their own path (path being vague for whatever their entrepreneurship is focused on), allowing for flexibility

Risk is a characteristic because being on your own and doing your own thing is much more unstable than simply working for a well-founded company

Innovation is a characteristic, because the flexibility that comes from being an entrepreneur allows for freedom of ones own ideas, making innovation more likely.

Profit is not a particular characteristic, due to the risk factor.

Profit is the right answer :D
