What is compounding interest?

A famous quarterback just signed a contract for $16 mil, providing $3.6 million a year for 4 years. A less famous receiver signe

Damm [24]

Answer:

The PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.

Explanation:

Present value (PV) refers to the valuation date value of a stream of income expected to be received in the future.

The PV for each of the two contracts can calculated by using the interest rate of 9%% (i.e. 0.12) as the discounting factor (r) to calculate the PV for each year. The discounting formula to use is (1+r)^n where n represents each relevant year. The calculations are done as follows:

1. For a famous quarterback

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $3,302,752.29

Year 2 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $3,030,047.98

Year 3 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,779,860.53

Year 4 PV = $3,600,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,550,330.76

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $11,662,991.56.

2. For a less famous receiver

Step 1. Calculation of the PV for year

Year 1 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^1 = $2,752,293.58

Year 2 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^2 = $2,525,039.98

Year 3 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^3 = $2,316,550.44

Year 4 PV = $3,000,000 ÷ (1.09)^4 = $2,125,275.63

Step 2. Calculation of the total PV

This is obtained by adding the PVs of year 1 - 4 calculated above, and this is equal to $9,719,159.63.

In addition, the $3,000,000 is to receive now is added to the $9,719,159.63 as follows:

PV of less famous receiver = $9,719,159.63 + $3,000,000

= $12,719,159.63

Conclusion

Therefore, the PV of the famous quarterback is $11,662,991.56, while the PV of less famous receiver is $12,719,159.63.

Revenues, Expenses, and Cost of Goods Sold are closed to which of the following accounts:_________

iren2701 [21]

Answer: A) Income Summary

The Income summary account has a debit and a credit side with income going on the credit side and expenses going on the debit side. If the credit side is higher than the debit side then profits have been made. The reverse is true.

What impact can good accountability mechanisms have on the admissibility of evidence in court cases? enables encryption of the e

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Option A, ENABLES ENCRYPTION OF THE EVIDENCE.

Explanation:

Admissible evidence, in a court of law, is any testimonial, documentary, or tangible evidence that is introduced to a judge or jury to prove a point (put forth by a party to the proceeding) or element in a case.

However, before an evidence can be used in a case, it must be considered admissible. And for an evidence to be admissible, it must be relevant and not excluded by rules of evidence (generally means it must not be prejudicial and must be reliable).

The government can be viewed as mechanism of accountability, particularly from a provider to a purchaser. Thus, a task for regulation is to set norms which would help make that accountability process fair and effective, this is referred to as the mechanism.

A good accountability mechanism is beneficial in the following ways:

* It has impact on admissibility of evidence in court cases.

* it allows nonrepudiation (it means sufficient evidence exists such that a user can not defend an action).

* It enables encryption of the evidence. Encryption means is the process of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it and unauthorized parties cannot.

Therefore, option A best suits the question, the impact that a good accountability mechanism has on on the admissibility of evidence in court cases is that it ENABLES THE ENCRYPTION OF THE EVIDENCE.

Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium

Svetach [21]

Question Completion:

Matrix payoff:

Sharon

Left Right

Paolo Left 8, 3 4, 4

Right 5, 3 5, 4

Answer:

The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.

The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.

Explanation:

a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is. In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.

b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.

Explanation:

The detailed entry will be:

19th Sep

Dr Account Payable $40,000

Cr Cash $39,200

Cr Cash Discount Receipt $800

( to record payable settlement and the receipt of cash discount)

Working note: As the company paying with 10 days, the supplier will allow a 2% discount on it net inventory purchase ( 44,000 - 4,000 = $40,000)

Thus, the discount will be 40,000 x 2% = $800 and Cash repayment will be 40,000 x (1-2%) = $39,200.
