Answer:

the government's sovereign immunity

Explanation:

In the US, the federal and state governments have sovereign immunity which means that they cannot be sued unless they agree to it. In the US, the federal government waived their immunity protection from a series of possible torts through the Federal Tort Claims Act. But that law does not include litter or accidents occurring in highways.

Sovereign immunity basically states that the federal government cannot be sued for its actions unless those actions are included in the Federal Tort Claims Act. To be able to sue a state government other rules apply, specially regarding the circumstances around the reason for the claim.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$73.86 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per unit under the absorption costing is as follows

= Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + variable overhead per unit + fixed overhead per unit

where,

Variable overhead cost per unit

= $288,000 ÷ 36,000 units

= $8 per unit

And, the fixed overhead cost per unit is

= $102,920 ÷ 36,000 units

= $2.86 per unit

So the cost per unit is

= $32 + $31 + $8 + $2.86

= $73.86 per unit

Hank purchased a $28,000 car two years ago using an 8 percent, 5-year loan. He has decided that he would sell the car now, if he
muminat

Answer:

$18,117.58

Explanation:

the question requires that we find the minimum price Hank would need to receive his first car.

loan = $28,000

rate = 0.08/12 = 0.0067

the monthly payment can be calculated as:

loan /[0.0067/1-(1/(0.0067)^60))]

= 28000/[1-1/(1.0067^60)/0.0067]

= 28000/(1-(1/1.0067)^60)/0.0067

= $567.74

The minimum price can be calculated as:

pmt = 567.74 x [(1-(1/1.0067^36))/0.0067) x 0.0067

= $18,117.58

1) Why might investors prefer floating rate notes over a fixed rate bond?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

These questions are incomplete since the article relating to Hologen company is not attached. However, I would answer them this way.

Explanation:

1) A floating rate bond has a shorter duration; almost zero and it has lower sensitivity to interest rates compared to a fixed rate bond.This means that the former has a lower interest rate risk. Investors tend to demand floating rate bonds when they expect future interest rates to rise because their prices would be close to their par values as their interest rates would also increase. On the other hand, fixed bond's interest rates are inversely related to their prices.

2)

For an issuing company, borrowing money floating rates terms could be riskier for cashflow management purposes . Every time interest rates increases, it means that the company would pay higher interests to lenders which could hurt its profitability. The fluctuations could also negatively affect future financial planning unlike issuing fixed rate bonds whose coupon payments are constant hence decreasing the volatility of earnings.
