Answer:
a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value?
I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)
b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?
Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.
Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.
Answer: $18
Explanation:
Based on the information,
Sales revenue = $65 × 225 = $14625
Cost of goods sold = (45 × $20) + (1125 × $4) + (225 × $14) + (225 × $9)
= $900 + $4500 + $3150 + $2025
= $10575
Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost
= $14625 - $10575
= $4050
The gross profit for one chainsaw will be:
= $4050/225
= $18
Answer:
The explanation is given as follows.
Explanation:
<u>Task 1: </u>
<u>The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.</u>
When the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves , both reserves and debt increase by $100 , therefore increase in debt as in any balance sheet , the total value of accounts on the left hand should be equal to the right hand , so when there is increase in reserves , there will be increase in debt.
<u>Task 2:</u>
<u>It specifies a minimum leverage ratio for all banks
</u>
leverage ratio initially = total assets / capital = 1750 / 125 = 14
leverage ratio new value = total assets / capital = 1850 / 125 = 14.8 ( the assets increase by $100 with increase in reserves)
<u>Task 3</u>
<u>Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.</u>
Capital requirement are there to ensure that bank have enough capital to repay the depositors and debtors and if a bank holds a higher percent of risky assets , capital requirements will be higher so that the bank remains solvent hence option a is right answer.

2 $1,350 -$2,400
3 $2,230 -$170
4 $1,250 $1,080
3 years + $170/$1,250 = 3.14
The payback period is 3.14 years, or 3 years, 1 month and 19 days.
Answer:
C) propagating certain cultural stereotypes
Explanation:
This is true not only for advertising but also for many mass media products. The problem is that sometimes reality is very different than the stereotypes that are portrayed.
One of the most controversial issues is the models' weight. Models tend to be usually much thinner than regular people, and that leads to a misconception that being extremely thin is good and healthy. Besides personal beauty preferences, a girl who is 5 foot 10 and weighs only 100 pounds is not healthy.
Similar issues like portraying certain family or lifestyle stereotypes may also have positive or negative effects on the audience since advertisement reaches millions of people.
