Do you think the licensing process for international medical graduates is an unnecessary hurdle meant to shield U.S. doctors fro
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

No licensing is right. Doctors in U.S. are spending more on medical studies than any other country. It is necessary for other country medical students to gain license in order to do practice in the country.

Explanation:

In U.S. doctors are in deficiency so the country cannot completely cease employment for foreign doctors. The country needs to welcome foreign doctors but it is also necessary to safeguard home doctors. If U.S. will not safeguard rights of home country doctors then they will be demotivated and will not be patriotic for the country.

Watson Oil recently reported (in millions) $8,250 of sales, $5,750 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,000 of dep
klemol [59]

Answer:

net income exceeded the free cash flows by $550 million

Explanation:

net income = ($8,250 - $5,750 - $1,000 - $160) x (1 - 35%) = $871 million

net cash flows:

operating activities = $871 + $1,000 - $300 = $1,571

net cash increase during the year = $321 million

net income exceeded the free cash flows by $871 - $321 = $550 million

You purchased 300 shares of common stock on margin for $60 per share. The initial margin is 60% and the stock pays no dividend.
MrMuchimi

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%
