Answer:

a.

25 b+20 s=455...equation 1

b+s=20...equation 2, where b and s are the number of bicycle and in-line skate rentals per day.

b. The business had 11 bicycle rentals and 9 in-line skate rentals.

Explanation:

a.

<em>Step 1: Determine an equation for total revenue today</em>

Since the business rents bicycles and in-line skates, the total revenue will be as a result of amount received in revenue from renting the bicycles and in-line skates. This can be expressed as shown;

T=(B×b)+(S×s)

where;

T=total revenue

B=bicycle rental cost per day

b=number of bicycles

S=in-line skate rental cost per day

s=number of in-line skates

In our case;

T=$455

B=$25 per day

b=unknown

S=$20 per day

s=unknown

Replacing;

(25×b)+(20×s)=455

25 b+20 s=455...equation 1

<em>Step 2: Determine an equation for total rentals today</em>

The equation for the total number of rentals is;

R=b+s

where;

R=total number of rentals today

b=number of bicycles

s=number of in-line skates

In our case;

R=20

b=unknown

s=unknown

Replacing;

b+s=20...equation 2

b.

<em>Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 ans solve simultaneously</em>

1(25 b+20 s=455), multiplying equation 1 by 1=25 b+20 s=455

     20(b+s=20), multiply equation 2 by 20=20 b+20 s=400

25 b+20 s=455

-

20 b+20 s=400

5 b+0 s=55

(5 b)/5=55/5=11

b=11, replace the value for b in equation 2 and solve;

(20×11)+20 s=400

220+20 s=400

20 s=400-220=180

20 s=180

s=(180/20)=9

The business had 11 bicycle rentals and 9 in-line skate rentals.

Bill Mitselfik has purchased a bond that was issued by Acme Chemical. This bond has a face value of $1,000 and pays a dividend o
kramer

Answer:

$1,068.02

Explanation:

For computing the selling price of the bond we need to use the Future value formula or function i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%

NPER = 3 years × 2 = 6 years

PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40

The formula is shown below:

= FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;-PV;type)

The present value comes in negative

So, after applying the above formula, the selling price of the bond is $1,068.02

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

Trendsetters has a cost of equity of 14.6 percent. The market risk premium is 8.4 percent and the risk-free rate is 3.9 percent.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The answer is option ( C.) Increase of 1.06 percent

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of equity = 14.6%

Market risk premium = 8.4%

Risk-free rate = 3.9%

Company's beta = 1.4

Now,

Expected Return = Risk-free rate + ( Beta × Market risk premium )

= 3.9% + ( 1.4 × 8.4% )

= 3.9% + 11.76%

= 15.66%

Therefore,

The change in firm's cost of equity capital = 15.66% - 14.6%

= 1.06%

Hence,

The answer is option ( C.) Increase of 1.06 percent

In order to provide more complete information, u.s. gaap allows that any significant noncash investing and financing activities
vampirchik [111]

It is reported as foot notes  in cashflow statement or in the notes of financial statements.

When an income statement is converted to cash flows from operational operations, noncash items like as depreciation and nonoperating profits and losses are not included. Non-cash investing and financing entails making an investment or purchase using financial instruments other than cash.

The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are a collection of generally observed financial reporting accounting standards and regulations. The four main constraints of GAAP are objectivity, the materiality, the consistency, and the prudence.

Companies are required by both IFRS and US GAAP to declare any substantial non-cash investment and financing operations, either as a footnote at the bottom of the statement of the cash flows or in  notes to the financial statements.

Therefore, the answer is the bottom of the statement of  the cash flows or in the notes to  financial statements.
