Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for

the month, thus owing you $5100. Today, when the repayment is due, he asked you to extend the loan for another month and he would pay you the $5100 next month. In the meantime, you have had the offer to invest as much as you wish in an oil-well venture that is expected to pay 28% per year and a hot new IT stock that is estimated to return 45% the first year. If you let your colleague have another month, what is the opportunity cost of your decision

Answer:

The opportunity costs of letting your colleague to extend the loan for another month are:

  • invest in oil-well venture = $5,100 x 28% = $1,428
  • invest in new IT stock = $5,100 x 45% = $2,295

Your total opportunity cost depends on what you actually decide to do with the money, if you invest all of it on the oil-well venture it is $1,428, or all of it in the new IT stock it is $2,295, but if you invest 50/50 on each, then the opportunity cost would be $1,861.50, or any other possible combination.

Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one investment or activity over another alternative.

Venezuela Company’s net income for 2020 is $50,000. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding were 1,000 options issu
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

$4.67 per share

Explanation:

The computation of the diluted earning per share is shown below:

= (Total income - preference dividends) ÷ ( outstanding shares + diluted shares)

where,

Total income is $50,000

Outstanding shares is 10,000

And, the diluted shares is

Amount paid towards shares = Options issued × Exercise price per share

= 1,000 × 6

= $6,000

And,

Value of options = Amount paid towards shares ÷ Current market price

= $6,000 ÷ $20

= 300

So,

Diluted shares is

= Options issued - value of options

= 1,000 - 300

= 700

So Diluted Earnings per share is

= ($50,000) ÷ (10,000 + 700)

= $4.67 per share

We simply applied the above formula

2. Roth retirement funds require you to pay taxes on your investment dollars up-front, while
leonid [27]

Answer:

The Pros and Cons of Roth IRA and the Traditional IRA or 401(K):

Roth IRA is not advantageous to those, who are starting to save late in their career.  It favors the younger worker, who is starting out with low-paying jobs at lower-paying tax rates, who will later be earning more.

With Roth IRA, you suffer the tax burden upfront when you are active and while making your contributions, so that you can enjoy your retirement benefits tax-free.  This is why the younger worker benefits more.  In the prime of life with little responsibilities, you can settle the taxman so that you can be free of him later in older age.  But, if you are in the high tax bracket, this category is not funny for you, anyway.  The IRS has an income limit for this category, therefore, you must go for the traditional IRA.

The traditional IRA saves you the tax burden initially, but you can never be free of the IRS.  It must take its share later, having allowed you to enjoy tax-free contributions.  When the net is filled, the IRS cuts its percentage off.

You will never feel bad then, because your tax rate will surely be reduced in comparison with when you are making the contributions.  So, it is just and right to allow the IRS, who generously helped you to grow the nest in the first place to take its just and lawful cut.  It does not bleed too much then, afterall you are drying up with life's responsibilities, including reduced tax bracket, and many of your children have started answering to the IRS independently.  This is the better time to deal with IRS, anyway.

Explanation:

The question has the explanation:  ROTH IRAs are retirement funds that allow you to pay taxes on your investments into retirement funds as you are making the contributions, so that you are free to make your withdrawals after at least 5 years without paying additional taxes.

The traditional IRAs or the 401(K) encourage you to make your retirement contributions without paying taxes on them so that you can contribute more.  Then the IRS will bounce on you to pay the taxes when you are making withdrawals having grown the investments.

IRAs mean Individual Retirement Accounts which individuals use to save and accumulate their retirement funds.

One of the lessons that we learned from the Ford Pinto case was that:_________
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: option 3

Explanation:

Background to the case:

The cases involving the explosion of Ford Pinto's due to a defective fuel system design led to the debate of many issues, most centering around the use by Ford of a cost-benefit analysis and the ethics surrounding its decision not to upgrade the fuel system based on this analysis.

Basis of analysis:

Should a risk/benefit analysis be used in situations where a defect in manufacturing could lead to seriously bodily harm and even worse death, such as in the Ford Pinto situation?

Rule of the court:

There hasn’t really been a definite decision about the case and arguments both for and against such an analysis have been made. It is an economically efficient method which has been accepted by courts for numerous years, however, juries may not always agree, so companies should take this into account.

Discretion is expected to be used.
