Answer:

The offer should be accepted

Explanation:

It is known that the amount $100,000 will be paid to someone when he turns 26 years. The current age is 21 years.

the 5-years bond is given 3.1 percent of interest rate.

another option for the person is offered $103,021.02 right away which is the present value.

The present value of the $100,000 that is going to be received after 5 years is calculated as follows;

Present value =  Amount to be received /(1+interest rate/100)^t

                        = 100,000/(1+ 3.1/100)⁵

                         = 100,000/ 1.031⁵

                         = $85,843.35

Therefore, the present value is $85,843.35 for the amount $100,000 to be receive after five years.

Since the amount  $103,012.02 he was offered is greater than the present value of his inheritance after 5-years, the person should accept the offer  and forget about the inheritance of $100,000.

Assume that General Electric (GE)'s current assets are $401 billion, fixed assets are $797 billion, current liabilities are $323
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Answer is explained below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Solution:

We can not solve this question as it lacks necessary data.

1. GE's Translation Exposure using current/noncurrent:

$401 billion - $401 billion = 0.

0 is the GE's translation exposure using current/noncurrent method.

2. Using Monetary/Non-monetary:

We can not calculate this requirement as we don't have the breakdown of GE's assets and liabilities under monetary/nonmonetary. So, it is not possible under the given information.

3. GE's Translation Exposure using Temporal method:

Again, we do lack necessary data to solve for this requirement. We need GE's breakdown of current assets and inventory and monetary assets to solve this question. Therefore, it is not possible to solve this question.

4. GE's Translation Exposure Using Current Rate methods:

GE's Exposure = (Current Assets + Fixed Assets) - Current Liabilities

GE's Exposure = ($401 billion + $797 billion) - $323 billion

GE's Exposure = ($1198 billion) - $323 billion

GE's Exposure = $875 billion

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B, Judge's own personal feelings about the internet.

Explanation:

When a case comes to a court, it is the responsibility of a judge to see every aspect of the case and analyze it on the basis of given evidence or set rules or standards, or in the light of decisions made on the same case by other courts. But in this question, it is said that the case which was brought to the court was the first in its kind, it means no such type of case has been ever submitted in any court before. The freedom of speech on internet is a sensitive issue. So all aspects should be kept in mind while proceeding the case, and it would not be considered proper for the judge to bring his person feelings about the internet into the case. His personal feelings should be set aside and the case should be solved on the basis of evidences and solid views.
