Answer:

most likely will not be held responsible because of the business judgment rule.

Explanation:

A business judgement rule is a legal provision that protects the board of a company from frivolous legal actions as flregards its business decisions.

Boards of companies are assumed to act in good faith, within their fiduciary standards of loyalty, prudence and care that the board owes to shareholders.

It will have to be proven that the board blatantly violated a code of conduct, otherwise the court will review or question it's decisions.

Answer:

will not be held responsible for the loss.

Explanation:

The business judgement rule is a doctrine that affects corporation's management and other agents. This doctrine is based on the idea that all business decisions yield unknown results, even the safest investments or safest projects can go wrong. Only the US government has never defaulted on a loan (US securities) but every other nation or organization has at one point in time defaulted or delayed a payment.

Investors that buy stocks from a corporation know about the risks of running a business, if they do not like to take risks, US securities are always available. As long as management (including the board) acts on good faith, within the normal scope of business, they cannot be held liable for any bad investment carried out.

If this doctrine didn't exist, no one would be able to manage a company, since no one would dare to make any decisions at all. When you calculate the price of stock or the cost of capital, you must add the risk free rate (US securities) + the risk premium.

Seamark buys $300,000 of Eider's 8% five-year bonds payable at par value. Interest payments are made semiannually. All of the fo
mario62 [17]

Answer:

D.the semiannual interest payment amount is $24000

Explanation:

Debt securities are recorded on the purchase price of the securities which includes purchase price and any brokerage costs etc. Cost recorded and maturity value of this security will be $300,000 because these are issued on par and will mature on par value.The semiannual interest payment will be $12,000 ( $300,000 x ( 8% /2)) rather than $24,000. Interest revenue will also be credited to the interest revenue account. So the only incorrect option is D.the semiannual interest payment amount is $24000.

You recently purchased a stock that is expected to earn 12% in a booming economy, 8% in a normal economy and lose 5% in a recess
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The expected return on this stock is 7.3%

Explanation:

Using the expectations model, we can calculate the expected return on the stock based on the return on stock in different scenarios/states and the probability of those states.

The expected return on the stock is,

Expected r = rA * pA  +  rB * pB  + rC * pC

Where,

  • r represents the returns in each state
  • p represents the probability of each state

Expected r = 0.12  * 0.15  +  0.08 * 0.75  +  (-0.05 * 0.1)

Expected r = 0.073 or 7.3%
