= 9,000 + 3.2Q + 3*6,000

=27,000 + 3.2Q

The price quotations of Treasury bonds in the Wall Street Journal show an ask price of 104.25 and a bid price of 104.125.
Andreas93 [3]

As a seller we would receive $1,041.25

<u>Solution:</u>

You may receive the bid price of the dealer, 104.125\% of $1,000, or $1,041.25

Prices of treasury bonds are expressed as par value amounts.  

The quote price of 104:25 means that the bond is priced at (104 + \frac{25}{100})\%= 104.25\% of the par value.  

Therefore, if the debt is $1,000, the dollar values to be charged by the borrower should be 1,000\times104.25\% = \$1,041.25

postnew [5]

Answer:

The intent of the parties is to be bound by the contract.

<h3>What is the UCC battle of the forms rule?</h3>
  • Typically these so-called battles of the forms occur when a buyer and seller of goods exchange pre-printed order forms with their own different terms on the back and then proceed with the transaction without ever signing any final contract or reaching an agreement on the terms of the deal.

Milton Friedman, Karthik Ramanna, and Peter Singer walk into a bar. Unfortunately, itâs not a joke. You are the unlucky bartende
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

The discussion started with Mr. Friedman explaining how the want and setting up on MNCs have become way more easier than it was a couple of decades ago. This is because the role of business in the society has increases. With increasing population the demand needs to be met on that level as well. Agreeing with the latter point Mr. Karthik said that yes, the demand needs to met but that should not make MNC and their setup easy. The quality according to him suffers.

Mr.Karthik said that the MNCs are also huge retail shops who must make sure that their production of goods and services are worth opting for. This is actually what business is supposed to do. Unlike the two gentlemen who are busy taking out the judgement on what is right and wrong in business and role it plays in the society, Mr.SInger started to add an important aspect. According to his view the greater role of business today, lies in the fact that it must benefit the society and reap positive externalities.

This is where the Corporate social responsibility comes in. The usage of resources and then replenishing it back into the nature is very very important according to Mr.Singer. He explained why the industries should not be given the liberty to discharge waste anywhere but must be either penalised or made to indulge in the act of social responsibility. With such conclusive thought s all th three agreed on a larger perspective of business.
