Answer: $2,845.57965

The principal to be deposited semiannually would be $2,845.58 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

Using compound formula below

A = p (1 + r/n)^nt

A =amount= $3,300

r = rate = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

n = number of compounding rate (semiannually) =2 interest payments a year

t = time in years= 3

3,300 = p (1 + 0.05/2)^2(3)

3,300 = p (1 + 0.025)^6

3,300 = p (1.025)^6

3,300 = 1.15969342p

Divide both sided by 1.15969342

p = $(3,300/1.15969342)

p = $2,845.57965

p ≈$2,845.58 rounded to 2 decimal places.

Mike has one hour to spend at the gym where he will jog, play handball and cycle. jogging uses 10 calories per minute, handball
slega [8]
Let
x = minutes used for jogging
y = minutes used for handball
z = minutes used for cycling

Th total time spent is 1 hour (60 minutes), therefore
x + y + z = 60

Because Mike jogs as long as he cycles, therefore
x = z
Therefore
2x + y = 60
or
y = 60 - 2x                 (1)

Jogging consumes 10 calories/min, handball consumes 9 calories/min and cycling consumes 12 calories/min.
The calories consumed in 60 minutes is 580, therefore
10 x + 9y + 12z = 580
Because x = z,
22x + 9y = 580          (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
22x + 9(60 - 2x) = 580
22x + 540 - 18x = 580
4x = 40
x = 10
y = 60 - 2x = 40
z = x = 10

Answer:
10 minutes of jogging
40 minutes of handball
10 minutes of cycling.

Firm X and Firm Y both sell the same products at the same price; both firms are the same size with identical sales levels; Firm
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The options are given below:

A. Firm X

B. Firm Y

C. Same variability of operating profits

D. It would depend on tax effect on taxable income

The correct option is B. Firm Y

Explanation:

This is because firm Y has a higher operating leverage than firm X.

<u>Operating Leverage</u> refers to a cost-accounting formula that measures the degree to which a firm can increase operating income by increasing revenue. Operating leverage actually boils down to the analysis of fixed costs and variable costs, and it is highest in companies that have a high fixed operating costs in comparison with variable operating costs. What this means is that this kind of company makes use of more fixed assets. On the other hand, operating leverage is lowest in companies that have a low fixed operating costs when compared with variable operating costs.

Companies with high operating leverage are capable of making more money from each additional sale if they do not have to incur more costs to produce more sales.

Therefore, from the scenario given above, we can conclude that firm Y has a higher operating leverage than firm X, because firm X has lower fixed costs than firm Y, and a higher variable cost than firm Y as well. Hence, firm Y has the potential to make more operating profits from its business activities.

On January 1, 2021, Cori Ander Herbs granted restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 300,000 of its $1 par common shares to e
Anna [14]

Answer: $1,288,000

Explanation:

The amount should the company record as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be calculated thus

Number of RSUs = 300,000

Market price of shares = $14

Term of RSUs = 3 years

The compensation expense for year 1 which is 2021 will be:

= [(300,000 × $14) × 1 / 3] - $0

= $1,400,000

The compensation expense for year 2 which is 2022 will be:

= [(288,000 × $14) * 2 / 3] - $1,400,000

= $2,688,000 - $1,400,000

= $1,288,000

Therefore, the amount should the company record as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be $1,288,000

Note that the number of RSUs in 2022 was calculated as:

= 300,000 × (100% - 4%)

= 300,000 × 96%

= 288,000
