Answer:

price divisor after split is 4.5

Explanation:

given data

stock prices = $10

stock prices = $20

stock prices = $80

stock prices = $50

stock prices = $40

solution

we find here first price weighted index for all 5 stock that is

price weighted index = \frac{10+20+80+50+40}{5}

price weighted index = $40

so

price weighted index before split is $40

so after split last stock became half

so new price divisor

we consider denominator to be x

so

40 = \frac{10+20+80+50+40}{x}

x =  \frac{10+20+80+50+40}{40}

x = 4.5

so price divisor after split is 4.5

When teaching new vocabulary, how many times should you encourage the student to repeat the word back to you?
hram777 [196]
Answer:  Repeat little and often. It's alarming how quickly students can forget vocabulary. Encouraging students to focus on new vocabulary daily is the best way to make it stick. It doesn't have to involve sitting down for hours; little and often will help get vocabulary into students long term memory.

Wayco Industrial Supply has a pretax cost of debt of 7.6 percent, a cost of equity of 16.8 percent, and a cost of preferred stoc
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

14.88%

Explanation:

Market value of common stock outstanding = 220,000 * $27 = $5,940,000

Market value of preferred stock = 25,000 * $41 = $1,025,000

Market value of bond = $550,000 * 101.2% = $556,600  

Wayco's total financing market value = $5,940,000 + $1,025,000 + $556,600 = $7,521,600

Weighted average cost of capital = [($5,940,000 / $7,521,600) * 16.8%] + [($1,025,000 / $7,521,600) * 9.1%] + [($556,600 / $7,521,600) * 7.6% * (1 - 34%)] = 0.1488, or 14.88%

EastSide Tractors is an American firm that manufactures construction and farming machinery. A construction company in Germany ha
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: Cash in advance

Explanation: Cash in advance is a type of payment that is used in some trade agreements.

This method of payment will require a buyer to pay the seller in cash before a shipment is received and sometimes before a shipment is even made.

Cash in advance is a strategic form of payment that can be used in any transaction in where there is a delay between the sales agreement and the sales delivery.

In the scenario given in the question, we can see that the German company has already placed an order, but the company has also caused a delay in the transaction by requesting for extra modifications.

This will prompt EastSide Tractors to feel the need to safeguard their interests in case the German company should default. This is why a Cash in advance payment system will come into play.

Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the new year. fireworks cost
Burka [1]
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is 450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass the cost benefit analysis.

If the fireworks' cost is to be split equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely  benefitted by this measure. Only he would

We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.

2) Town of River Heights:

We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be bought.

However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.

Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.

3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.

Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.

The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.

In 2019, Pine Corporation had losses of $20,000 from operations. It received $180,000 in dividends from a 25%-owned domestic cor
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Net income per books   $65,000

Add back:

Federal income taxes     9,700

Excess contributions       3,000

Life insurance premiums 10,000

$87,700

Subtract:

Tax-exempt interest       (1,500)

Excess depreciation       (4,500)

Taxable income                         $81,700

Dividend received deduction = 160000 x 80% = 128000 (full DRD doesn't create loss).

DRD will be 80% of taxable inome because percent partnership is 25% which is between 20 to 80%.
