To reduce waste of raw materials, the government of Sperland is considering requiring household appliances to be broken down for

salvage when discarded. To cover the cost of salvage, the government is planning to charge a fee, which would be imposed when the appliance is first sold. Imposing the fee at the time of salvage would reduce waste more effectively, however, because consumers tend to keep old appliances longer if they are faced with a fee for discarding them. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
(A) Increasing the cost of disposing of an appliance properly increases the incentive to dispose it improperly.
(B) The fee provides manufacturers with no incentive to produce appliances that are more durable.
(C) For people who have bought new appliances recently, the salvage fee would not need to be paid for a number of years.
(D) People who sell their used, working appliances to others would not need to pay the salvage fee.
(E) Many nonfunctioning appliances that are currently discarded could be repaired at relatively little expense.

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

According to the previous argument, imposing the rate at the time of recovery would reduce waste more effectively, as consumers tend to keep old appliances for longer if they face a fee for disposal. So, what Sperland would be causing is for consumers to look for different alternatives to avoid incurring such expenses.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a partnership? a.The partners have limited liability. b.The partnership is subject
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": The partnership has a limited life.

Explanation:

A partnership is an organization with two or more members running a business. They share the profits in percentage terms in proportion to their partnership value. There are two types of partnerships: general partnerships (<em>unlimited liability</em>) and limited partnerships (<em>liability proportional to the contribution to the partnership</em>).

The partnership dissolves and a new partnership is created when one of the partners is removed, retired or deceased or even when a new partner is introduced. Thus, <em>partnerships have a limited life</em>.

Gargoyle Unlimited Gargoyle Unlimited is planning to issue a zero coupon bond to fund a project that will yield its first positi
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The answer is 6.72%

Explanation:

Calculating the imputed rate from a discount bond as follows:

( 1 + i  )^n = FV / PV  

( 1 + i )^3 = FV / PV,   here FV= 1000 and PV= 727.25

so putting values in equation we have:

( 1 +i )^3 = 1000 / 727.25  

( 1 + i )^3 = 1.375  

solving for i

( 1 + i) = 1.375^1/3  

( 1 + i ) = 1.112  

i = 0.112 before tax rate

0.112 * (1 - tax rate) = after tax interest rate

0.112 * .60 = 0.0672 = 6.72%

thus the expected after tax cost of this debt issue is 6.72%
