Carl Critic has just announced his choices of the worst Hollywood actresses of the year, and Stella Starr has been named the wor

st of the worst. Carl's announcement, made in his weekly column titled "Random Musings by Carl Critic" and published in the local paper, claims that he believes her to have the least amount of talent in the movie industry and that she "can't act her way out of a paper bag" When Stella reads Carl's column, she immediately starts to cry hysterically and then decides to sue him. Does she have a valid case of libel? No, Carl committed slander, not libel. Yes, her crying proves injury. Yes, but only if his statements cause her to lose money by losing movie roles No, this was merely Carl's opinion.

Answer: No, this was merely Carl's opinion.

Explanation:

Labelling a statement as an opinion generally protects the person who said it from defamation suits however this is not always the case.

If the opinion is based on disclosed and well known facts, the action is free of defamatory or libel charges.

This seems to be the case in this scenario as his column seems to be based on the performances for the year.

Bottomline is, Stella cannot sue Carl for libel as it is his opinion.

The withdrawn amount is not consider for computing the gross income. So, we ignored it

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point (the cost of crushing) are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

                                                                                                  $

Sales revenue after crushing                                                55                          

Sales revenue at the split-off point                                        <u>81</u>

Additional sales revenue                                                       26

Further processing cost                                                        <u> (35)</u>

Net income after further processing                                     <u> (9) </u>

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

<em>Kindly note that the allocated joint costs( cost of sugar and crushing) are irrelevant. This implies that whether or not the intermediate products are processed further the joint costs are irrelevant to the decision to process the beet juice further</em>.

You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

=\frac{  1000}{(1.054)^3}

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)
