Which of the following is a result of over-diversification through acquisition? Select one:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

3) Corporations use acquisition as a substitute for innovation.

Explanation:

The fastest way in which a corporation can enter a new market or develop new products is through buying existing companies that already operate in the new target markets or have developed the new products that the corporation wishes to sell.

Research and development is very costly and time consuming, and on many occasions the results aren't even good or are not as good as expected. By acquiring a smaller company that has already developed the product, then the corporation might even save money.

Patrick patrone (single, 2 allowances), $925 wages __________ carson leno (married, 4 allowances), $1,195 wages __________ carli

Furkat [3]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1) P<u>atrick patrone </u>

Single and 2 allowances $=\$ 925-\$ 155.80-\$ 155.80=\$ 613.40$

It falls under the category of Over $509 but under $1,631

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

$\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 613.40-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 104.40=\$ 36.70+\$ 12.53=\$ 49.23$

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $49.23.

2) <u>Carson Leno, married and 4 allowances </u>

= $1,195 - $155.80 - $155.80 - $155.80 - $155.80 = $571.80

The wages falls under the category of Over $444 but under $1,177.

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $0 + 10% of excess over $444.

$\$ 0+10 \%(\$ 571.80-\$ 444)=\$ 0+10 \% \text { of } \$ 127.20=\$ 0+\$ 12.72=\$ 12.72$

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $12.72

3) Carli lintz single, zero allowances and wages is $700.

$700 - $0 = $700 (zero allowance)

The wages falls under the category of Over $509 but under $1631.

The amount of income tax to withhold is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

$\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 700-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 191 .=\$ 36.70+\$ 22.92=\$ 59.62$

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $59.62.

4) Gene hartz. Single, 1 allowance and $2,500 wages.

$2,500 - $155.80 = $2,348.20

The wages fall under the category of Over $1,631 but under $3,315

The amount of income tax to withhold is $171.34 + 22 % of excess of $1,631 $\begin{aligned}&\$ 171.34+22 \%(\$ 2348.20-\$ 1631)=\$ 171.34+22 \% \text { of } \$ 717.20 .=\$ 174.34+\$ 157.78=\\&\$ 332.12\end{aligned}$ The amount for Federal income tax is $332.12

5) Mollie Parmer. Married, 2 allowances and wages is $3,600

$\$ 3,600-\$ 155.80-\$ 155.80=\$ 3,288.40$

The wages falls under the category of Over $1,177 but under $3,421

The amount of income tax to withhold is $\$ 73.30+12 \%$ of excess over $\$ 1,177$ $\begin{aligned}&\$ 73.30+12 \% \text { of }(\$ 3,288.40-\$ 1,177) .=\$ 73.30+12 \% \text { of } \$ 2,111.40 .=\$ 73.30+\$ 253.37=\\&\$ 326.67\end{aligned}$ The amount for Federal income tax is $326.67.

An issuer decides to call in an outstanding bond issue under the terms detailed in the bond resolution because interest rates ha

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

An optional Call

Explanation:

Callable Bond

Callable bond represents an instrument of debt where the issuer issues the instrument reserving the right to make a return of the principal of investors including the stoppage of interest payments before the date of maturity of the bond.

Organisations would usually issue bonds as callable when either to meet unexpected obligations like pay off other debts, fund expansions or when they sense that opportunities may arise in the future for them to get other forms of financing at lower interest rates.

For bonds to be callable the terms must be clearly stated in the bond's offering.

Optional Call

In optional call, the issuer reserves the right to call the bonds to take advantage of present circumstances such as significant drop in interest rates (as stated in the question). However, the terms detailed in the bond resolution will allow the bondholders to receive a premium to par as compensation for their loss of interest payments on the called bond.

Furthermore, a period of time must usually pass before the issuer can use the optional call.
