Answer: $14613.80

Explanation: we use the equation P= C(1 +i)^n

where P is the future value of an investent in this case its $20000.

C is the present invested value which we are going to calculate.

I is the interest rate at a given period in this case 4%

n is the period of the investment which is 8 years in this case

so then now we substitute the values we have to the above formula

$20000= C(1+ 0.04)^8

thereafter we rearrange the formula and solve for c the present initial invested value: $20000/(1.04)^8 = C

then we get an answer of $14613.8041 which we round off to $14613.80.

the key points to this problem is that brenda desires $20000 for her daughters college fund which tells us that she wants to invest a certain amount of money to have a future value of $20000 for her daughter. we also are given another key that that certain unknown amount of money she will annully compound for 8 years which gives the period. thereafter the question leads us to what amound should brenda deposit now  that makes the question clear that we must calculate the initial investment she must make.

Answer:

The amount of deposit required now is $14,613.80 in order to have $20000 in the account in 8 years' time

Explanation:

By using present value formula as shown below we can determine amount to  be deposited now.

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=present value=unknown

FV=Future value =$20000

r=rate of return=4%

n=number of years of investment=8 years

PV=20000/(1+0.04)^8

PV=20000/(1.04)^8

PV=20000/1.36856905

PV=$14613.80

The difference between the FV and PV is $5386.20 when divided by 8 years gives  about $637.27 as average yearly overall return on the deposited funds.

alexgriva [62]

Answer: The correct answer is "D. Goods in Process and Factory Overhead."

Explanation: Direct labor: it is the labor consumed in the areas that are directly related to production. It is generated by the workers or operators of the company. It is part of the cost that is incorporated directly into the product. Therefore it is registered as goods in process.

Indirect labor: it is the labor consumed in the administrative areas of the company or that production staff that does not participate directly in the production of the good. As it is part of the cost that is indirectly incorporated into the product, it is considered factory overheads.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:Internal recruitment

Explanation:

Internal recruitment happens When the company as a vacancy and looks with in its existing employees to fill the the vacant position. Hiring within the company has many because the company is hiring some one who is already familiar with culture and ethos of the company, he or she is also familiar with the procedures and operations of the company that reduces induction time and possible training time.

The costs associated with internal recruitment are significantly lower than the costs of recruiting externally for example, recruiting externally the company has to do background checks on the new employees and sometimes pay the the recruiting agency for their services. It also takes a long time to find a suitable candidate when recruiting externally because the company receives many applications which may result in an increase in admin costs associated with recruiting externally.

One major draw back of this recruiting strategy is that it leaves gaps within company work structure or work force. When employees are frequently changing position within the organization it may cause disruption in the function of the company

Bourdon software has 10.6 percent coupon bonds on the market with 17 years to maturity. the bonds make semiannual payments and c
Nimfa-mama [501]

The Current yield on the bonds are calculated as :

Current yield = Annual coupon payments/ Current price

Here, we assume the face value of the bond to be $1000

Annual coupon payments are 10.6% of the face value or 0.106*1000 = 106

Current price = 108.1% of the face value = 1.081* 1000 = 1081

Current Yield = 106/1081

Current Yield = 0.098057 = 9.8057%

Current Yield = 9.81% (Rounded to two decimals)
