Answer:

percentage of returns is 16%

Explanation:

given data

average return μ = 8 percent

standard deviation σ = 12 percent

x = 20

solution

we get here

z = \frac{x-\mu  }{\sigma }     ......................1

put here value and we will get

z =  \frac{(20 - 8)}{12}  

z  = 1  

so here

P(x > 12) = P(z > 1)

= 0.1587 = 16%

The use of simulation to create an aggregate plan:
12345 [234]

Answer:

Answer is option b i.e. will produce a plan that may not be the best plan.

Explanation:

Simulation is the technique used to create an artificial environment that is similar to the real-life situation to study various problems and how to tackle them. However, it is not the full proof plan which means it is based on certain probability and chances that a certain situation might arise. Many times situations are not as planned and here we cannot solely depend on the solution that we have learned during the simulation process. Therefore, the simulation will provide us with a plan that may or may not be the best plan.

Casassa, a merchant in San Francisco, under the terms of a nonshipment contract, agrees to sell 50 cases of packaged macaroni to
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Fresno

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

The uniform commercial code (UCC) is a set of standardized business laws which are put in place for the regulation of financial contracts and commercial transactions used across different states in the United States of America. There are special rules known as the special business standards that are set up by UCC governing merchants and the sales of goods in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a shipment contract between two parties (buyer and seller) states that a buyer bears the risk of loss and is typically responsible for the costs of goods in the event of any damage or loss incurred during transportation and prior to receiving the goods.

In this scenario, the transaction is a nonshipment contract and the place for delivery is not specified in the agreement.

However, on the basis of the facts that both parties are aware that the 50 cases of packaged macaroni are in a warehouse in Fresno, the place for delivery is Fresno.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The total amounts payable to preferred stockholders and common stockholders, respectively, are: $480,000 and $320,000.

Explanation:

Cumulative preferred stock has the dominant right over common stocks in term of receiving cash dividend.

The dividend paid to preferred stock per year is: 100 x 20,000 x 8% = $160,000 and the company owed investor 03 years of dividend ( 2016,2017,2018) with the dividend payable amounted to 160,000 x 3 = $480,000.

The dividend paid to common stock is the left over, after paying to preferred stock holders, which is calculated as $800,000 - $480,000 = $320,000.

So, The total amounts payable to preferred stockholders and common stockholders, respectively, are: $480,000 and $320,000.
