Answer:

His order may never execute and,

He could receive more , but not less, than $14 a share

Explanation:

A limit order places a pre specified price for buying or selling a security. Such a mechanism is used to limit or restrict the extent of losses the investor may suffer.

For example, an investor is desirous of purchasing the stock of XYZ Co whose current market price is $100. The investor places a limit that his buy order shall only be executed once the stock price touches $90 or lower than that.

In this case, the moment market price touches $90, the order shall be executed and the purchase shall be complete. The flip side being, the order may never be executed if the price never reaches the limit prescribed.

In the given case, Sam placed a sell limit order wherein 500 shares of stock would be sold once the price reaches $14 or higher. So in this case, if the price does reach $14, he would at least receive $14 or higher, but not lower than $14 since below this price, the order will not be executed.

Also, there is no guarantee that the order will be executed since it depends upon the share price reaching $14, which may or may not happen.

a bacteria population starts with 200 bacteriaa and grows at a rate of r(t) = (450.268)e 1.12567t bacteria per hour. How many ba

Virty [35]

Answer:

11,513

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial bacteria = 200

Growth rate r(t) = $(450.268)e^{1.12567t}$

Now,

Total growth after 3 hours = $\int\limits^3_0 {(450.268)e^{1.12567t}} \, dt$

Total growth after 3 hours = $450.268\int\limits^3_0 {e^{1.12567t}} \, dt$

Total growth after 3 hours = $450.268[\frac{e^{1.12567t}}{1.12567}]^3_0$

[ ∵ $\int{d(e^x)}{dt}=\frac{e^x}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$ ]

Thus,

Total growth after 3 hours = 400 × $[{e^{1.12567t}]^3_0$

Total growth after 3 hours = 400 × $[{e^{1.12567(3)}-e^{1.12567(0)}]$

Total growth after 3 hours ≈ 11313

Hence,

Total bacteria after 3 hours = Initial bacteria + Total growth after 3 hours

= 200 + 11313

= 11,513

Suppose housing prices and stock prices decline significantly and cause autonomous consumption spending to decrease by $200 bill

kirill [66]

Answer: The change will be $400 billion.

Explanation: The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is used to explain that increase in consumption is as a result of increase in income.

To calculate how much the equilibrium real GDP will change:

STEP1: CALCULATE THE MULTIPLIERS

multipliers = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

Where MPC = 0.

Therefore;

Multipliers = 1 ÷ (1 - 0.5) = 1 ÷ 0.5

Multipliers = 2

STEP 2: CALCULATE HOW MUCH THE EQUILIBRIUM REAL GDP WILL CHANGE;

Multipliers × change in consumption spending

2 × $200 billion = $400 billion

Equilibrium real GDP will change with $400 billion

gavmur [86]

Answer:

(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years

(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%

Explanation:

Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850

The useful life is 5 years

The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year

The salvage value is $107,100

(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows

= cost/amount of cash flow

= 283,850/81,100

= 3.5 years

(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows

First we calculate the depreciation expense

= 283,850-107,100/5

= 176,750/5

= 35,350

Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses

= 283,850-35,350

= 248,500

Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100

= 248,500/283,850 × 100

= 0.875 × 100

= 87.5%

What is the rationale for the internal control principle, segregation of duties? select one:

liq [111]

The rationale for internal control principle, segregation of duties is that the work of one employee should, without duplication of effort, provide a reliable basis for evaluating the work of another employee. Segregation of Duties is a basic building block of sustainable risk management and internal controls for business. It is based on shared responsibilities of a key process that disperses the critical functions of that process to more than one person or department.
