Answer:

C). Shannon's physician gives her some pain medication and tells her not to drive after she takes it, as the medication induces drowsiness. In spite of the doctor's warning, Shannon decides to drive to the store while on the medication. Owing to her lack of alertness, she fails to stop at a traffic light and crashes into another vehicle, causing a passenger in that vehicle to be injured.

Explanation:

Negligence is defined as the 'tort whereby a duty of reasonable or standard care as defined by law is breached, causing damage or any conduct short of .'

In the above situation, Shanon was aware of the after-effects of the medication she took as her physician instructs her to not drive because she may feel drowsy. Despite this warning, her decision to drive to the store reflects her negligence i.e. 'intentional action that falls below the legal standard for preventing unreasonable damage or harm.' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

The initial price for a stadium is $800,000,000. There will be a 2% adjustment to the price, and $85,000,000 of revenue from the
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

NPV = $246764705.88

Explanation:

The net present value of the stadium can be calculated by deducting the present value of cash outflow from the present value of cash inflow.

DATA

Initial price = $800,000,000

Revenue from sale of previous equipment = $85,000,000

Goverment provided fund to discount the price = $300,000,000

Discount factor for year 1 at 2% = 0.9804

Future Cash inflow = $675,000,000

Solution

NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows

NPV = $661,764,705.88 - $415,000,000

NPV = $246,764,706

Working

PV of Cash inflow = $675,000,000 x 0.9804

PV of cash inflow =  $661,764,706

PV of Cash outflow = Initial price - Revenue form sale  - Goverment fund

PV of cash outflow = $800,000,000 - $85,000,000 - $300,000,000

PV of cash outflow = $415,000,000

Date                                                 Interest        Discount

                            Cash Payment   Expense   Amortization   Carrying Value

January 1, 2016                                                                            $57,639

December 31, 2016    $6,820         $7,493           $673               58,312

December 31, 2017      6,820            7,581               761              59,073

December 31, 2018      6,820           7,679              859             59,932

December 31, 2019     6,820            7,791               971              60,903

December 31, 2020    6,820            7,917            1,097             62,000

b. The carrying value that would appear on the 2019 balance sheet is:

= $60,903.

c. The interest expense that would appear on the 2019 income statement is:

= $7,791.

d. The amount of cash outflow for interest that would appear in the operating activities section of the 2019 statement of cash flows is:

= $6,820.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of bonds =      $62,000

Proceeds from the issue = 57,639

Bonds discount =                $4,361

Stated rate of interest = 11% paid annually on December 31

Effective rate of interest = 13%

December 31, 2016:

Interest expense =      $7,493 ($57,639 * 13%)

Interest payable =       $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization    $673 ($7,493 - $6,820)

Bond value = $58,312 ($57,639 + $672)

December 31, 2017:

Interest expense =     $7,581 ($58,312 * 13%)

Interest payable        $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization   $761 ($7,581 - $6,820)

Bond value = $59,073  ($58,312 + $761)

December 31, 2018:

Interest expense =     $7,679 ($59,073 * 13%)

Interest payable        $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization $859 ($7,679 - $6,820)

Bond value = $59,932 ($59,073 + $859)

December 31, 2019:

Interest expense =     $7,791 ($59,932 * 13%)

Interest payable        $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization  $971 ($7,791 - $6,820)

Bond value = $60,903 ($59,932 + $971)

December 31, 2020:

Interest expense =         $7,917 ($60,903 * 13%)

Interest payable           $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization  $1,097 ($7,917 - $6,820)

Bond value = $62,000 ($60,903 + $1,097)

The common stock of ABC, Inc., has a beta of 1.13 and a standard deviation of 21.4 percent. The market rate of return is 12.7 pe
harina [27]

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "13.82%".

Explanation:

Given:

Risk free rate,

R_f=4.10

Beta of stock,

\beta=1.13

Market rate,

= 12.7

Now,

The market risk premium will be:

⇒ R_p = Market \ rate-Risk \ free \ rate

        = 12.7-4.1

        = 8.60 (%)

hence,

The cost of equity will be:

⇒ r=R_f+\beta\times R_p

      =4.10+1.13\times 8.60

      =4.10+ 9.718

      =13.82 (%)
