A bankrupt who owns a house has the option of either paying the mortgage or losing his home. The court cannot reduce the amount

Olin [163]

Answer: I will vote in favor of the bill.

Explanation:

Based on the above scenario, I would vote in favor of the bill. The argument here is in the case of bankruptcy, if an individual is willing to pay their dues but because of unavoidable financial circumstances, the individual seeks more time or other assistance which can help so that the person will later pay. I believe it's a good idea which should be supported by the law.

The court should have the right to decide terms of mortgages to help debtors in order for them to pay their debts in future rather than forcing them to leave the house. It will also help the country deal with issue of facilitating housing to maximum number of individuals.

In my opinion, the judge's decision should be given prime importance as the judge must evaluate the intention of the debtor and the capability of the debtor to pay the debts

Jenna purchased 500 shares of XYZ stock for $10 per share. The stock paid the following dividends: Year 1: $0.25 per share Year

aleksley [76]

Based on the price of the stock and the dividend over the years, the time-weighted return of XYZ stock is 16.83%.

<h3>What is the time-weighted return of XYZ stock?</h3><h3 />

In this case, the Time weighted return can will be the same as the IRR so the IRR function on a spreadsheet can be used to find the return.

Year 0 return = -$10 per share

Year 1 = $0.25

Year 2 = $0.27

Year 3 = (0.29 + 15) = $15.29.

Time weighted return will be 16.83% as shown in the attachment.

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Liability is the degree to which a person is responsible for injury that happens to another party in a lawsuit. Peter owns an auto dealership. Peter hires Cara as a receptionist, Ben as a salesperson, Stacy as a mechanic, and "Clean as a Whistle Co." as cleaners.

Peter will be least liable if Emralda from "Clean as a Whistle Co." runs over Patty I'm the dealership's parking lot.

This is because Peter hired the company as a seperate entity from the cleaning company employees. The conduct of employees from the cleaning company is responsibility of "Clean as a Whistle Co."

A store has been selling 100 DVD burners a week at $450 each. A market survey indicates that for each $30 rebate offered to buye

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

a rebate of 200 dollars will generate 500 sales

with a revenue of 125,000

Explanation:

We need to maximize the total revenue which is:

TR = Price x Quantity. First we define each of these:

P = (450 - 30X)

Q = (100 + 60X)

Being X the cash rebate

We now replace this into the TR formula:

TR = P x Q = (450 -30X) (100 + 60X)

TR = -1800x2 +27,000x -3,000x + 45,000

TR = -1800x2 +24,000x + 45,000

as this is a quadratic function: a: -1,800 b = 24,000 c = 45,000

the maximum revenue will be at the vertex: -b/2a

-24,000/2(-1,800) = 6.67

now we multiply by 30: 6.67 x30 = 200 dollars

which bring 60 x 6.67 = 400 new customers

250 x (100 +400) = 250 x 500 = 125,000
