Answer:
Technology is defined by how people use scientific knowledge, and not only does scientific knowledge constantly change, but the way we use it is also constantly changing.
Emerging technologies refers to a new technology or technological innovations. The problem is that what can be considered new and how fast will it become obsolete? Our world is changing so fast, that current technology will be obsolete in just a few months, or maybe a year from now.
Because new technologies become old too fast, it is very difficult to identify them before they are no longer an innovation. Only those technologies that become mainstream can be clearly identified as emerging technologies, e.g. the iPhone was considered an emerging technology in 2007 and even though the first iPhone is obsolete now, it became mainstream technology.
Answer:
2,000,001 shares
Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to use the cumulative voting formula:
X = [(S x N) / (D + 1)] + 1
-
X = minimum number of shares that must be owned = ?
-
S = total outstanding shares = 10,000,000
-
N = number of directors we want to elect = 1
-
D = total number of directors to be elected = 4
X = [(10,000,000 x 1) / (4 + 1)] + 1 = (10,000,000 / 5) + 1 = 2,000,001
There are two voting procedures used to elect the members of a board of directors: the straight voting method and the cumulative voting method.
- The straight voting method favors majority stockholders since they receive one vote per stock per open seat which means that someone that has 50% plus 1 stock can actually get all the board members elected.
- Cumulative voting system assigns one vote per stock for the whole election, that means that a board member could be elected with 20% plus 1 vote. This voting system favors minority shareholders since someone with 50% plus 1 vote could only get 2 members elected by himself/herself.
Answer:
$2722.82
Explanation:
Present value of loan = $1,000 * [(1+5%)^3 - 1]/ 5%
= $1,000 * (1.157625 - 1) / 0.05
= $1,000 * 0.157625/ 0.05
= $1,000 * 3.1525
= $3152.50
The present value of loan before bank restructuring is $3152.
Future value = Cash flow / (1+r)^n
= $3152 / (1+0.05)^3
= $3152 / (1.05)^3
= $3152 / 1.157625
= $2722.82
Therefore, the final payment required to pay to make indifferent for both payment is $2722.82
Answer:
$ 1,592,121.121
Explanation:
Present Value at T=0 is $120,000
N = 30
I = 9%
PMT = $11,680.36
We shall calculate the Future Value without PMT and then with PMT. The difference would be the amount of interest paid.
FV at T = 30 with PMT is -$3,184,242.537
FV at T = 30 without PMT is -$1,592,121.416
The total interest paid on the loan is = $ 1,592,121.121
