Answer:

The correct option is C,the investment decreases by $418,950.

Explanation:

The equity method of accounting for stock investment requires that the investor should increase its investment value by the share of net income in a year and decrease same by the amount of cash dividends received from  the investee company.

However,the opposite would be the case of net loss recorded in the year under review(share of net loss would be deducted from investment value) as shown below:

Share of net loss ($1,602,000*25%)    ($400,500)

share of cash dividends($73,800*25%)($18,450)

total reduction in investment value       ($418,950 )

Stells [14]

Answer:

As long as Mitch acted in good faith and tried to make the best possible decision regarding all available information, and his decision was something that any other person could have made, his mistake has to be considered a bad or negative business judgement (business judgement rule). He thought that his actions would benefit the corporation, but he was wrong and the corporation lost money. That types of mistakes are considered normal and just that, mistakes that anyone can make.

In regards with the second issue, that Mitch is a shareholder and a director of a firm that will directly compete with Numero Uno, he must inform the board about this and resign to either Numero Uno or One of a Kind.

Some of the advantages of telecommuting is that it increases efficiency by decreasing costs (you don't have to spend time going to work and you can have your office at home), reducing employee churn rate, allowing older or disabled people to work, it is good for your health, and around 65% of telecommuters in the US have have increased their work efficiency vs. their normal office work.

Answer: 0.10%

Explanation:

The following can be gotten from the question:

n = 15 years

We change it to months. Thus will be:

= 15 × 12

= 180

Present value of an annuity :

= A × {1- (1 +r ) -n ]/r}

74000 = 450 × [ 1- (1 +r) - 180]/r

r= 0.10%

Therefore, the monthly interest rate is 0.10%.
