Answer: True
Explanation: think about reality what do people do for money
Answer:
a. In order to determine the present value of lease we can use the same APR as the car loan (7%). We can use the present value of an annuity formula:
PV = monthly payment x annuity factor
- monthly payment = $509
- PV annuity factor, 0.58333%, 48 periods = 41.76344
PV of the annuity = $509 x 41.76344 = $21,257.59
total present value of lease contract = $21,257.59 + $109 = $21,366.59
b. the present value of purchasing the car is $40,000 - $28,000/1.07⁴ = $40,000 - $21,361.07 = $18,638.93
c. the break even resale price = (sales price - PV of lease) x (1 + 7%/12)⁴⁸ = ($40,000 - $21,366.59) x (1 + 0.07/12)⁴⁸ = $18,633.41 x 1.32205 = $24,634.37
Answer:
This question is about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which is basically being socially responsible (with the employees, community, environment, etc.) and at the same time trying to maximize the financial value of a company (which is a duty to shareholders).
It might be easier for some companies, e.g. service providers, while much harder for mining companies (and other extracting companies). But it doesn't meant that all companies should try their best to do it.
Some companies even benefit from being socially responsible and increase their income through higher sales, e.g. Ben and Jerry's actually increased their sales of ice cream by focusing on CSR.
Even small businesses can benefit from CSR since it increases customer awareness and loyalty, and that can lead to higher sales. E.g. the public image of local businesses that help to finance certain community services improves and that eventually leads to higher sales.
Customers tend to favor companies that they consider to be socially responsible, and if they have to decide between purchasing from a socially responsible company or from another that isn't, they will generally purchase form the socially responsible one.

Answer: actual level
Explanation:
It should be noted that when determining the standard overhead cost rate, overhead costs have to be grouped into the fixed cost and the variable costs.
The standard overhead applied is based on the actual level of activity multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate.
