Answer:

C. An open system: Changes in the task environment affect the general environment, and changes in the general environment affect the task environment.

Explanation:

Suppose that the general enviroment is the whole office building, and the task enviroment is your cubicle, and the four other cubicles surrounding you.

If the task enviroment in your area becomes dirty and unpleasant, the working conditions of you and your four colleagues will deteriorate, probably causing loses in productivity, affecting the company's productivity as a whole. Besides, if the task enviroment is not cleaned soon, the dirt will spread to other areas inside the building, affecting the general enviroment.

The general enviroment affects more easily the task enviroment. Simply imagine if the HVAC system of the office building fails: your task enviroment will not have heating or cooling and working conditions will become difficult.

Thomas purchased 200 shares of stock A for $23 a share and sold them more than a year later for $ 19 per share. Be purchased 60

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Capital gain tax = $1,540.

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

For stocks of A

Profit = (selling price - purchasing price) × units

= ($19 - $23) × 200

= -$800

For stocks of B

Profit = ($57-$41) × 600

= $9,600

Total profit = profit for stock A + profit for stock B

= -$800 + $9,600

= $8,800

Therefore, capital gain for both year = $8,800

Tax rate = 35%

Capital gain tax = Capital gain × Tax rate

= $8,800 × 35%

=$3,080

As share holds for more than a year,

So, Capital gain tax = $3,080 ÷ 2 = $1,540.

The lowest point on a purely competitive firm's short-run supply curve corresponds to __________. a. the minimum point on its AT

3241004551 [841]

Answer: Option 'b' is correct.

Explanation:

The lowest point on a purely competitive firm's short run supply curve corresponds to the minimum point on its MC curve.

As we know the relation between ATC, AVC, AFC, MC.

1) when AC > MC then, MC rises,

2) When AC = MC, then AC reaches its minimum point.

3) When AC < MC , then MC falls.

And MC falls at higher rate than AC,

So, MC reaches its minimum point first and it is the lowest point for perfect competition.

Hence, Option 'b' is correct.

Amram Inc. can issue a 20-year bond with a 6% annual coupon at par. This bond is not convertible, not callable, and has no sinki

Reil [10]

Answer:

B) The coupon rate could be less than, equal to, or greater than 6%, depending on the specific terms set, but in the real world the convertible feature would probably cause the coupon rate to be less than 6%.

Explanation:

Amram Inc. is issuing two bonds, one is not convertible and the other one is convertible and callable. Regardless of the coupon rate that they plan to set, convertible and callable bonds will usually (almost always) have a coupon rate that is lower than non-convertible or non-callable bonds.

Convertible bonds are bonds that can be converted or exchanged to common stock. Since convertible bonds offer more investment options, their risk is lower than non-convertible bonds.

Callable bonds is a bond that can be redeemed before the maturity date.
