Answer: The continuous growth rate of koalas is 18.7%.

We use the formula for continuous growth to find the rate of growth. The formula is:

Population_{2007} = Population_{1996}*e^{rt}

Substituting the values we get,

26000 = 5000*2.71828^{9r}

\frac{26000}{5000} = 2.71828^{9r}

5.4 = 2.71828^{9r}

We can solve this equation further by taking the normal log of both sides of the equation.

ln5.4 = 9r * ln2.71828

1.686398954=9r*0.999999327

1.686398954=8.999993946r

\frac{1.686398954}{8.999993946} =r

0.187377788 = r

An online sales order processing system most likely would have an advantage over a batch sales order processing system by: Recor
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The answer is: Enabling shipment of customer orders to be initiated as soon as the orders are received.

Explanation:

In a batch sales ordering process, your sales team gathers information about sales throughout an specific period of time and then enters it into the system all at once. While an online sales order processing system processes each sales transactions into your system immediately.

Imagine you want to buy a set of chairs and the salesman takes your order at 9 AM. If the salesman uses a batch sales ordering process, he might have to wait until midday to place your sales order along with all the other sales he did in the morning. If he was using an online sales order processing system, your sale would have been processed immediately without any other delay. That obviously saves time.

Explanation:

The Loan Amortization Schedule is most appropriate way to solve all parts of this problem.

The first step to construction of the Amortization Schedule is to determine the payments made annually, PMT (interest and principal).

Using a Financial calculator, this can be determined as ;

Pv = $16,000

r = 5%

n = 4

Fv = $0

p/yr = 1

Pmt = ?

Thus PMT is $4,512.19.

By 110,000 the retained earnings reduced by the property dividend.

Explanation:

Retained Earnings: The retained earnings is that earnings which is left after all payments relating to the business expenses, shareholder dividend. The earnings which is to be retained so that it can come in use in near future.

For retained earning calculation, the stock market value is recorded when the date is declared not on distribution date.

So, the calculation is computed below:

As the 50,000 shares is given for every 10 shares. So, first we have to compute for 1 share which comes by dividing shares to number of shares i.e.  50,000 shares ÷ 10 shares = 5,000 for 1 share.

Now, multiply by market value which comes = 5,000 × $22 = $110,000.

So, by 110,000 the retained earnings reduced by the property dividend.
