Answer: d. company directors; shareholders

Explanation: The conduction and management of a business usually involve making controversial decisions or taking actions that might put the business at risk. In a general sense, greater profits calls for greater risks. As such, the business judgement rule states that the board of directors should be allowed to make such decisions without fear of prosecution by shareholders who might object while acknowledging that managers are not capable of making optimal decisions at all times. The rule therefore aid in protecting a business's board of directors from slight legal allegations about the conduct of business. It is thus important because it reflects the principle that company directors, not shareholders, have the greatest latitude to run companies.

Precision Camera Services started the year with total assets of​ $120,000 and total liabilities of​ $40,000. The company is a so
eimsori [14]

Answer:

$125,000

Explanation:

Opening values of;

Total assets =​ $120,000

Total liabilities = $40,000

Total equity = $120,000 - $40,000 = $80,000

During the year,

Total revenues = $140,000

Total expenses = $50,000

Withdrawal by owner = $45,000

The amount withdrawn by the owner reduces the owners equity. This may be deducted from the net income.

Net income from the year = $140,000 - $50,000 - $45,000

                                           = $45,000

This will be added to the opening owner's equity to get the closing owner's equity.

Owner's equity at the end of the​ year = $80,000 + $45,000  

                                                               = $125,000

irina [24]

Answer:

c. half of the order quantity

Explanation:

Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is <u>half of the order quantity</u>

Economic order quantity is a quantity which minimizes the ordering cost and holding cost  

Q = EOQ = \sqrt{2*D*S/ H} where  D = Demand unit, S = Order cost and H = Holding cost

- Ordering cost and the Holding at EOQ will be same

- Average inventory = Q/2

- Average inventory is the half of the order quantity.

posledela
M1 money growth in the US was about 16% in 2008, 7% in 2009 and 9% in 2010. Over the same time period, the yield on 3-month Treasury bills fell from almost 3% to close to 0%. Given these high rates of money growth, why did interest rates fall, rather than increase? What does this say about the income, price level and expected-inflation effects?
Higher money growth (increase in the money supply) should have the following effects:
Liquidity effect indicates that this growth in money should shift money supply to the right, which should decrease the interest rate.
Income effect indicates that the growth in money should increase income levels, which should increase the demand for money and shift the demand curve to the right. This should increase the interest rate.
The price level effect indicates that the growth in money should increase price levels, which should increase the demand for money and shift the demand curve to the right. This should also increase the interest rate.
During this time period, unemployment was high, economic growth was weak and policymakers were more concerned with deflation than they were with inflation.
Therefore, the expected inflation effect was almost non-existent (due to the concerns with deflation) and the liquidity effect dominated all other effects, which made interest rates fall.
