Lamar's experience demonstrates retroactive interference.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

When a person tries to recall some information that are older in nature and comes to know about some recent information it refers to Retroactive interference. For instance you may call the name of your grandmother with the name of your mom. There will be a retroactive interference with the two names.

This happens when you forget some tasks that are learnt in past because of the learning of new tasks. In the given example, Lamar only rememnbers the names of the people in the first group and remebers the profession of the last women met by him. His experience demonstrates retroactive interference.

How much money has to be invested at 5.1% interest compounded continuously to have $17,000 after 14 years?
andre [41]
We will use the formula; A = Pe^(r*t)
Given;
A = 17,000
r = 5.1%
t = 14
Solution;A = Pe^(r*t)  Compounding continously
17,000 = Pe^(.051*14)
17,000/e^(.714) = P
      $8324.59  = P 
The money that has been invested at 5.1% interest and compounded contiounsly to have 17,000 after 14 years is $8324.59

Microhard has issued a bond with the following characteristics:
Aleks [24]

Answer:

At Yield to maturity = 11%

Price = $1,000

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have:

Par value = $1,000

Interest each year = $1,000 \times 11% = $110

Effective interest rate semiannually = 11%/2 = 5.5% = 0.055

Since it is paid semiannually, interest for each single payment = $110 \times 0.5 = $55 for each payment.

Time = 8 years, again for this since payments are semi annual, effective duration = 16

Price of the bond = C \times \frac{(1 - \frac{1}{(1+i^n)}) }{i} + \frac{M}{(1 + i)^n}

Here, C = Coupon payment = $55

i = 0.055

n = Time period = 16

M = Maturity value = Par value = $1,000

Therefore, if yield to maturity = 11% then,

P = 55 \times \frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1 + 0.055)^1^6} }{0.55} + \frac{1,000}{(1 + 0.55)^1^6}

= $1,000

Fischer Company has outstanding 8,000 shares of $100 par value, 5% preferred stock, and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common sto
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "$130,000".

Explanation:

The given values are:

No. of common shares outstanding

= 50,000

Dividend per share

= $1.80

No. of preferred shares outstanding

= 8,000

Dividend per share

= $5

Now,

The total dividend on common shares will be:

=  No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share

On substituting the values, we get

=  50,000\times  1.80

=  90,000 ($)

The total dividend on preferred stock will be:

=  No. \  of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share

On substituting the values, we get

=  8,000\times 5

=  40,000 ($)

Hence,

The total dividend paid by company will be:

=  Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend  \ on \  preferred \ stock

=  90,000+40,000

=  130,000 ($)

Thus the above is the correct answer.
