Answer:
Jones may decide that the equity method would not be appropriate to account for the investment when Jones Company does not have significant influences over the management/operation of Sandridge Company.
Although an investors holding from 25% of investee is very much likely to have significant influences on the investee, this may not be true all over the times. For Jones, to prove that it does not have significant influences over Sandridge, there may be some following evidences:
+ Jones and Sandridge sign an agreement that Jones surrenders significant rights as a shareholder;
+ There is/are investor(s)/group(s) of investors who has more voting right than Jones and whose visionary/mission for Sandridge is opposite to Jones's.
+ Sandridge tries to reject Jones' influences on its management by seeking lawsuit or by successfully prevent representatives from Jones on its Board of Directors.

Answer:
It will take 14 quarters (3.5 years) to reach $44,622.09 from $35,000 at an interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= 35,000
FV= 44,622.09
i= 0.07/4= 0.0175
We need to calculate the number of quarters required to reach the objective. We will use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(44,622.09/35,000) / ln(1.0175)
n= 14
It will take 14 quarters (3.5 years) to reach $44,622.09 from $35,000 at an interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly.
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Self-concept describes the kind of person or personality an individual thinks he or she has.
People that have a realistic self-concept about themselves basically see themselves as they are, not what they or the society at large wants them to be.
The statement that a person with a poor self-concept is more likely to be hired for a position, because they are easier to “mould” is false and an absolutely incorrect notion.
First of all, no organization is interested in hiring an individual with a poor self-concept because they can't add any value to the organization in the long-run.
Answer:
d. 5.08%
Explanation:
We have to first calculate the YTM of the bond, and then apply the tax shield.
To get the YTM we have to calculate the rate of return of an annuity of 46.25 for 20 years compounding semiannually at IRR rate and the present value of the face value redeem in 20 years.
IRR = 0.084656891 (it should be done using financial calculator or excel or a similar software program)
then we apply the shield tax to the IRR:
IRR x (1 - tax-rate) = Cost of debt
0.084656891 * ( 1 - 0.4) = 5.0794= 5.08
