Answer:

- 41.67%

Explanation:

For computing the rate of return first we have to compute the initial investment which is shown below:

= Number of shares × per share ×  initial margin percentage

= 300 shares × $60 per share × 60%

= $10,800

Now Loss on sale of common stock is

= (Selling price - purchase price) × number of shares  purchased

= ($45 - $60 ) × 300  shares

= - $4,500

So the rate of return will be:

= Loss ÷ Initial Investment

= - $4,500 ÷  $10,800

= - 41.67%

2. Why might an investor choose to become a partner in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock of an open corporation? If an investor decided to join in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock on an open corporation they would have less to do with the business side as they would in an open corporation. When an investor joins in a limited partnership they have less management responsibility and little to no liability besides their initial investment.

3. Is growth a good thing for all firms? How does management know when a firm is ready to grow? Growth is not a good thing for all firms. Depending on what a company is looking to achieve long term, the financial assets they have now to achieve their growth and other goals are all subject to what the company is able to do with the finances and staffing they have. When a corporation is trying to decide whether or not they should grow, management will examine all aspects of the company to make sure they align with the growth plan.

4. If you were to start a business, which ownership form would you choose? What factors might affect your choice? If I were to start a business, I would probably choose a limited liability company (LLC) as the ownership form and structure. An LLC is where the members within the company are not held personally liable for the company’s debts or liabilities. Think ownership form works well if you were to join forces an open up a business with a friend or family member. An LLC keeps the tax side of the business easier as allowing the individuals to be self-proprietors. When considering factors that may change this decision they would include: who I am going in business with, what I am in business for, my end goals, current goals and current financial status. </span>

In this case the perfect tender rule

b. does not apply.

Explanation:

The perfect tender rule has certain exceptions where it cannot be applied to the tender parties and the probates of the tender.

If there is a government ruling against the use of certain products that are necessary for the tender to be completed and the outlaw happens after the tender is signed but before it is completed as a consignment then it cannot be done.

This would come under the ambit of an emergency where the governed ruling makes such deals null and void.

Answer:

C. Country A would focus on growing carrots to trade with country country B.

Explanation:

Country A can produce twice as many carrots as country B. this indicates that country A seems to have a comparative advantage over Country B in carrot production. Both countries have equal capacity in the production of apples.

Country A should focus on producing carrots for sales to country B. It can produce double what country B can, meaning its production costs are lower. Country A can sell carrots to country B at a lower price than it would cost country B to produce its carrots. Therefore, country A would be prudent to focus on producing carrots and trade them to country B.
