Suppose you are analyzing two firms in the same industry. Firm A has a profit margin of 10% versus a margin of 8% for Firm B. Fi

rm A's total debt to total capital ratio [measured as (Short-term debt + Long-term debt)/(Debt + Preferred stock + Common equity)] is 70% versus one of 20% for Firm B. Based only on these two facts, you cannot reach a conclusion as to which firm is better managed, because the difference in debt, not better management, could be the cause of Firm A's higher profit margin.

Short Company purchased land by paying $15,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $15,000 for each of the next ten year
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer,$ 88,338.48  

Explanation:

The liability reported in the balance sheet can be computed by using the pv formula in excel which is stated thus:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the incremental borrowing rate of 11% per year

nper is the number of payments required to settle the obligation which is 10

pmt is the amount of yearly payment in order to fully settle the debt owed which is $15,000 per year

fv is the future worth of total payments which is not unknown,hence taken as zero

=-pv(11%,10,15000,0)=$ 88,338.48  

The correct answer is $ 88,338.48

To choose the two best, we have a target of two candidates, A & B
The first one chosen is either A or B, with a propability of 2/5.
The second one is the only interested candidate out of 4, so 1/4.
So probability of choosing the best two is 2/5*1/4=1/10.

Alternatively, use the combination formula, 
P(AB in any order) = 5!/(2!3!)=120/(2*6)=1/10
or in general,
n choose r = nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!)
