Farmer Brian has 3 acres of land which he farms efficiently. Each acre can support 10 apple trees. However the 3 acres differ in

their ability to support orange trees. He can grow 30 orange trees on the best land, 20 orange trees on the ok land, and 10 orange trees on the bad land. If he initially has his land split between apples and oranges (1.5 acres growing apple trees and 1.5 acres growing orange trees), what would be the opportunity cost of growing another apple tree

Answer:the opportunity cost of growing another apple tree is 2 orange trees

Explanation:

Opportunity cost represents the  value of cost  what must be given up toin order to obtain the best alternative.

Here Farmer Brain has 3 acres of land that can support 10 apple threes on each acre, and 30 orange tree on best acre, 20 on good acre and 10 oranges on bad acre.

that means he can grows 30 apples  on the 3 acres and 60 oranges at  on the 3 acres. giving us

the opportunity cost of growing an orange tree is

60 oranges ( 30+20+10)trees= 30 apples tress

1 orange tree = 30/60

1 orange tree=1/2 apples

therefore the opportunity cost of growing an orange tree is half apple tree, Also the opportunity cost of growing an apple tree is 2 orange trees

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The correct option is d. 5.5.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not properly arranged. It is therefore rearranged before answering the question as follows:

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:

Bonds payable, 10% (due in two years)                              $842,000

Preferred 5% stock, $100 par (no change during year)       220,000

Common stock, $50 par (no change during year)             1,672,000

Income before income tax for year                                       376,000

Income tax for year                                                                  89,000

Common dividends paid                                                         83,600

Preferred dividends paid                                                          11,000

Based on the data presented, what is the times interest earned ratio (rounded to one decimal place)?

Oa. 7.9

Ob. 4.5

Oc. 3.5

Od. 5.5

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The times interest earned ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses ................ (1)

Where;

Interest expenses = Bonds payable * 10% = $842,000 * 10% = $84,200

EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax for year + Interest expenses = $376,000 + $84,200 = $460,200

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Times interest earned ratio = $460,200 / $84,200 = 5.46555819477435

Rounded to one decimal place, we have:

Times interest earned ratio = 5.5

Therefore, the correct option is d. 5.5.

An appraiser valued a subsidiary of Signal Co. at between $230 million and $260 million. One month later, Burmah Oil offered to
Goshia [24]

Answer:

No, because they violated the duty of care

Explanation:

Business judgement rule is a provision that protects the management of a business from frivolous legal action concerning the way it does business.

The court assumes that the management acts in good faith in its fiduciary role, standard of loyalty, prudence, and care.

Duty of care is breached when the management do not make reasonable effort to prevent injury or loss.

In this instance Signal board is not protected by the business judgement rule because they violated duty of care.

Although the offer by Burmah oil is above the valuation a month ago, the board did not bother to do a present valuation or find out if other companies want to buy the subsidiary at a higher price.

Given
Usimov [2.4K]

Total interest=$489.58

Balance after 100th day=$5,819.44

Balance after 180th day=$2,448.77

Final payment=$2,489.58

Compute the total interest, the balances on the 100th and 180th days as well as the final payment of the loan?

In the first place, ordinary interest means simple interest, in other words, the simple interest approach would be used in computing the interest due at every point in time.

Interest=loan balance*interest rate*number of days that interest is due/360 days

Interest on 100th day=$11,500*10%*100/360

Interest on 100th day=$319.444444

balance after 100th day=initial principal+ interest-partial payment

balance after 100th day=$11,500+$319.444444 -$6,000

balance after 100th day=$5,819.444444

Note it has been 80 days since the payment of the last interest on 100th

interest on 180th day=$5819.444444 *10%*80/360

interest on 180th day=$129.320988

balance of the loan on the 180th day=$5,819.444444+$129.320988-$3,500

balance of the loan on the 180th day=$2,448.765432

The final payment would be the balance as of the 180th day plus the interest for the last 60 days(180th-240th)

final interest=$2,448.765432*10%*60/360

final interest =$40.812757

Final payment=$2,448.765432+$40.812757

Final payment=$2,489.58

Total interest=$319.444444+$129.320988+$40.812757

Total interest=$489.58
