Answer:

$1,600.55

Explanation:

The computation of the expected level of the index in one year is shown below:

= Current index level × (1 + expected rate of return) - expected dividend in the next year

= $1,453 × (1 + 11.6%) - $21

= $1,621.55 - $21

= $1,600.55

We simply applied the above formula by considering the items shown above i.e current level index, expected rate of return, and the expected dividend in the next year

Which of the following reasons does not contribute to a higher level of unemployment?
Mandarinka [93]
Hi there!

The answer is A) A lack of labor mobility as people choose to remain in their hometown. 

Unemployment is a complex issue, here are the reasons why the other options increase unemployment:

-Reduction in Union bargaining activities would increase unemployment because employers wouldn't have as many restrictions to reduce their workforce. 

-Reduction in economic activity due to a recession would increase unemployment as the demand for products, and for workers too, will decrease.

-The existence of efficiency wages causes unemployment because the demand for labor will decrease, as employees get more and more efficient. 

<span>A lack of labor mobility as people choose to remain in their hometown will not contribute to a higher level of unemployment. Instead, labor mobility can increase unemployment because there would be an oversupply of labor in a specific region. </span>

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) the leader presents ideas and invites questions.

Explanation:

This is a inverse proportional relation which reduces the authority of the manager when team's freedom increases. It debases an autocratic rule by a manager, especially in taking decisions.

The example cited in the question is a way of taking decision by suggestions by expecting questions from his team.

Explanation:

a) Amount of Note payable =  $550,000

Present Value  factor for 3 years at 12%

= PV = 1/(1+r) ^n  

1/ (1+ 12%)^3 =(0.892857143)^ 3 =  0.71178

Present value of Note for land at 2020 = $550,000  x  0.71176 = $391, 479

.136

Interest expense for Year 2020= $391, 479.136  x  12%= $46, 977.50

b) Face value of note = $5,000,000

Present value factor for 4 years at 10 % =

= PV = 1/(1+r) ^n  

1/ (1+ 10%)^4 =(0.909090909)^ 4 =  0.68301345

Present value of the note = $5,000,000 x 0.68301345= $3,415,067.28

Discount on note payable =$5,000,000 -$3,415,067.28 =$1,584,932.72

A corporation deposits $20 million in a money market account for 1 year. What will be the differ- ence in the total amount accum
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Simple Interest=P*r*n= $20 million * 0.18 * 1=  $3.6 million

Therefore amount accumulated= $20 million + $3.6 million = $23.6 million

Amount accumulated through Compound Interest=P×(1+r)  ^t

 = $20 million( 1+0.18/12)^12= $23.912 million

Explanation:

Simple interest is based on the principal amount of a loan or deposit, while compound interest is based on the principal amount and the interest that accumulates on it in every period.
