Answer:

The correct answer is D. Profit is the financial gain from business activity minus expenses.

Explanation:

For example a company whose business activity is selling chairs has sold 10 chairs in a month at 10 dollars each which it has bought in 6 dollars (per chair). The company has incurred 5 dollars as admin expenses and had paid 10 dollars to commercial bank as interest. So what is company profit?

Calculation.

The profit will be 25$ as shown below.

Sales                     (10*10) 100

Purchase               (10*6)  (60)

Admin expense                 (5)

Financial expense             (10)

Profit                                   25

Candy is trying to decide between two job offers. The compensation package for job A includes a $300-per-month health insurance
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Part 1. Monthly  health insurance benefit for job A is $205

Yearly health insurance benefit for job A is $2,460

Monthly  health insurance benefit for job B is $295

Yearly health insurance benefit for job B is  $3,540

Part 2. The yearly value of the life insurance policy for job A is $480

The yearly value of the life insurance policy for job B is $600

Part 3. The yearly value of the 401 (k) match from job A is $3, 250

The yearly value of the 401 (k) match from job B is $5, 760

Explanation:

Part 1. The health insurance benefit per month for job A = $300 - $95 = $205

The annual health insurance benefit = $205×12 = $2,460

The health insurance benefit per month for job B = $400 - $105 = $295

The annual health insurance benefit = $295×12 = $3,540

Part 2. The monthly life insurance plan for job A = $40

The yearly value of the life insurance policy for job A = $40 × 12 = $480

The monthly life insurance plan for job B = $50

The yearly value of the life insurance policy for job B = $50 × 12 = $600

Part 3. The yearly value of the 401 (k) match from job A = 0.05 × $65,000 = $3, 250

The yearly value of the 401 (k) match from job B = 0.09 × $65,000 = $5, 760

Basic bond valuation Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of ​$1 comma 000​-par-value bonds with a 16​% coupon interest rate
salantis [7]

Answer:

a. Complex Systems' bond price​ today = $1,476.36

Explanation:

a. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a rate of return of 9​%, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for​ today?

This can be calculated by adding the Present Value of Coupons and the Present Value of Par Value as follows:

<u>Calculation of Present Value of Coupons</u>

The present of coupons is calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

Present value of coupons = C × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

C = Annual coupon amount = Par value * Coupon rate = $1,000 * 16% = $160

r = required rate of return or return of similar risk = 9%, or 0.09

n = number of years = 11

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

Present value of coupons = $160 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.09)]^11} ÷ 0.09] = $1,088.83

<u>Calculation of Present Par of Value</u>

To calculate this, we use the present value formula as follows:

Present Value of Par Value = Par value / (1 + r)^n

Since Par Value is $1000 and r and n are as already given above, we have:

Present value of Par Value = $1,000 / (1 + 0.09)^11 = $387.53

Therefore, we have:

Complex Systems' bond price​ today = Present value of coupons + Present value of Par Value = $1,088.83 + $387.53 = $1,476.36

b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on​ similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond.

The following are the possible two reasons:

1. Interest may vary bust the coupon is fixed. What can cause the interest rate to vary is the bond rating by rating agency. But his will not affect the coupon rate which is fixed. When the rating is high, the interest will be low. But when the rating is low, the interest will be high. This indicates a negative relationship between the rating and the interest rate.

2. The level of demand may also influence the interest rate to change. When the demand is high, the interest will be low. But when the demand is low, the interest will be high. This also indicates a negative relationship between the demand and the interest rate.

c. If the required return were at 16​% instead of 9​%, what would the current value of Complex​ Systems' bond​ be? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss.

To do this, we simply change he required return to 16% (or 0.16) in part a and proceed as follows:

Present value of coupons at 16% = $160 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.16)]^11} ÷ 0.016] = $804.58

Present value of Par Value at 16% = $1,000 / (1 + 0.16)^11 = $195.42

Complex Systems' bond price​ today at 16% = $804.58 + $195.42 = $1,000.00

Comparing part c result with part a result shows that if the coupon rate is greater than the required rate of return, the bond is sold at a premium. That is, price of bond will be more than par. As it can be seen in part a, the price of bond is $1,476.36 when the coupon rate of 16% is greater than the required return of 9%.

Also, the bond will be sold at par when the coupon rate and require return are equal. This is shown in part c where the bond is sold at $1,000 when both coupon rate and required return rate are equal to 16%.

By implication, we can also infer without doing any calculation that the bond will be sold at a discount if the coupon rate is less than the required rate of return.

babymother [125]

Answer:

The country club style.

Explanation:

The country club style is a leadership style in which there is a high concern for people and low concern for the results which means that the manager is interested in his employees' needs and believes that they will work hard if they are in a good working environment. In terms of results, this tends to be a style in which the manager is relaxed and productivity can be low because there isn't a lot of control. According to this, the leadership style that Jacob is using in this scenario is the country club style because he believes that a healthy work environment is important and he doesn't do anything when his employees miss their deadlines.
