Answer:

Bethesda Biosys

Issue of an IPO:

Net proceeds for the issuer is $82 million, if all the 4 million shares are bought by investors.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

The spread is $4.5 (18% of $25) per share, since average selling price is $25.

Therefore, the net proceed per share is $20.50 ($25 - 4.50).

And the Total Net Proceeds = $82 million ($20.50 * 4 million), assuming that all four million shares were bought by the public.

Note that the question did not provide the necessary information to make the final decision.

b) During the issue of securities, especially an IPO, underwriters, such as investment banks, pay an issuing company for the securities and then sell the securities to the public.  There is always a difference per share price that they are willing to pay the issuer and what they will collect from the investing public.  That difference is called the underwriting spread or simply the spread.

c) Best-Efforts Basis: According to investopedia.com, underwriting on best-effort basis is "an agreement between an underwriter and an issuer in which the underwriter agrees to place as much of an offering with investors as possible, but is not responsible for any portion of the offering it fails to sell."

The difference between a budget and a standard is that:_________.
8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is A. Standards refer to a company's projected revenues, costs, or expenses

Explanation:

The explanation is the following:

A budget refers to a department's or a company's projected revenues, costs, or expenses, while on the other hand A standard usually refers to a projected amount per unit of product, per unit of input (such as direct materials, factory overhead), or per unit of output.

Standard costing is intensive in appli­cation as it calls for detailed analysis of variances.

In standard costing, variances are usu­ally revealed through accounts.

Standard costs represent realistic yardsticks and are, therefore, more useful for controlling and reducing costs.

A coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Costa Rican coffee blend that normally sells for $9.50 per pound with a Kenya coffee blen
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenya coffee

Explanation:

First, we need to know the proportion of every coffee in the mix trying with different percentages until getting the result of $13,49  

 

($9,50*25%)+($13,80*75%)=$12,73  

 

($9,50*10%)+($13,80*90%)=$13,37  

 

($9,50*7,5%)+($13,80*92,5%)=$13,48  

 

($9,50*7,3%)+($13,80*92,7%)=$13,49  

 

So, the percentage of Costa Rican coffee is 7,3% and Kenya coffee is 92,7%  

And we can get the pounds required to get 70 pounds  

 

70*7,3%=5,11

 

70*92,7%=64,89

   

We need 5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenyan coffee to create 70 pounds of mixed coffee that can sell for $13,49 per pound

Valentin [98]

Answer:

With a population growth of 2%, the GDP has to grow 12.6% per year in order to real GDP per person double in 7 years.

Explanation:

It is necessary to state the formula to calculate the GDP growth per person in 7 years and some assumptions. Defining as base of population and GDP the number 100 (aleatory picked) we can write our equation: GDP per person in year 7 = 100(1+x)^7/100(1+0.02)^7=2 In this equation X is the fixed percentage of GDP growth. By iteration process, we get that X=12.6%

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The right answer is option (A).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, given data is :

Time required for one unit = 12 Min

Payment for job =  $12.75 / Hour

So, payment for job per minute = $12.75 / 60 = $0.2125 / minute

Hence, Rate per piece = rate/minute × time required for one unit

= $0.2125 × 12

= $2.55

Hence the most appropriate answer is option (A).
