Answer:

10.77%

Explanation:

FV: $1000

PV: $845.87

PMT: $60

Nper: 40 = (25 years - 5 years ago)* 2 for semi-annual payment

We use excel to calculate semi-annual discount rate by formula Rate(Nper,PMT,-PV,FV)

= rate(40,$60,-$845.87,$1000) = 7.18%

⇒ annual rate = semi-annual rate * 2 = 7.18% * 2 = 14.36%

after-tax cost of debt = 14.36% * (1 - 25%) = 10.77%

<em>Please see excel attached for the calculation</em>

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, a proper indorsement of the check would be to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones. That is because a check needs to be as specific as possible and cannot have various options. The check needs to be made to a single specific individual and if it is for more than one individual then both need to be included as a requirement (and). Making it so that both recipients must cash the check together for it to be accepted.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

When writing a message to express condolences, you should mention the loss tactfully, recognize the good qualities of deceased, assure the receiver of your concern, offer assistance, and <u>conclude on a reassuring note.</u>

Explanation:

Certain points that are to be kept in Mind when writing a  Condolence Messages  are:

  • Don't unintentionally say the wrong thing in a sympathy message
  • The Condolence message should be short and crisp
  • In the message try to recall a funny memory of the deceased.
  • In the message ,you should not simply sign rather mention your full first and surname.
  • Don't mention any financial obligation of the deceased or offer any financial help
  • Don't try to offer any other help like cooking a good meal

Thus we can say that ,When writing a message to express condolences, you should mention the loss tactfully, recognize the good qualities of deceased, assure the receiver of your concern, offer assistance, and <u>conclude on a reassuring note.</u>

Tread Inc. is the market leader for sports shoes in the subcontinent of Gavon. Though the brand has not introduced any new produ
Harman [31]

Answer: The answer is b

Explanation:

The concept of advertising response function is based on the theory of marginal physical product and shows the relationship between advertising and the level of consumption of the goods by the consumers. The theory of marginal physical product states that when there is a change in total product resulting from one unit change in the quantity of the resources used per unit of time. When average product is increasing ,marginal physical product is greater than average product,when average product is maximum ,marginal physical equals average product .when average product is decreasing marginal physical product is less than average product.The theory of marginal physical product can also be called the law of diminishing return which states that if increasing quantities of one factor of production are used in conjunction with a fixed quantity of other factors then, after a certain point each successive unit of the variable factor will make smaller and smaller addition to the total output. In this case, the law tells the Trend Inc when to stop adding more input of the variable factor to a fixed factor.

Invariably, we are saying that it high time for Trend Inc, should spend proportionately less on advertising than on newer line. It should now spend more money on bringing of new product into the market than spending more on the advertisement of the sport shoes because at a certain point the demand for the old product will fall when diminishing return must have set in on the product demand.

regarding open-end and closed-end investment companies, all of the following are true except a) both may be either diversified o
zimovet [89]

The false statement is both offer an unlimited number of shares in a continuous public offering. (option c)

<h3>What are open-end and closed-end investment companies?</h3>

Open-end investment companies are companies that allow investors invest in their company continuously through the purchase of their shares. On the other hand, closed-end investment companies close their company to new investors

An advantage of open-end investment companies is they are highly liquid. A disadvantage of open-end investment companies is the company is vulnerable from large inflows and outflow of investments.

An advantage of closed-end investment companies is they do not incur charges with regards to the redemption activities of investors. A disadvantage of closed-end investment companies is that investors cannot withdraw their funds until maturity.
