Answer:
Franchises.
Explanation:
A franchise is formed when a third party is given the right to market products using the brand name of a parent company. There is usually an agreement between the parent company and the third party on profit sharing from the franchise.
In this scenario Keith wants to try a brand recognition of a national chain, but he wants to stay in his local area and be the owner of the shop.
The best option is to form a franchise where he can use the national brand to grow his business locally.

Answer:
A standard unmodified opinion.
Explanation:
When a note to the financial statements of the First Security Bank indicates that the company self insures itself for the first $500,000 of liability to employees, with liability insurance for the remainder. Based upon this, one would expect the auditors' report to express a standard unmodified opinion.
A standard unmodified opinion is an opinion where financial statements are presented free of any misinterpretation, in all material respects, in accordance with standards known as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to provide a high level of assurance.
The standard unmodified opinion comprises of report title, audit report address, introduction paragraph, managements responsibility, auditor's responsibility, opinion paragraph, audit report date and signature and address of certified public accountant firm. 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
13.86%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the flotation-adjusted (net) cost of its new common stock 
Using this formula
Cost of new common stock(re) = [d1 / stock price (1-flotation cost)] +g
Let plug in the formula
Cost of new common stock(re)= [$1.36 / 33.35 (1 – 0.065)]+0.094
Cost of new common stock(re)= [$1.36 / 33.35 (0.935)]+0.094
Cost of new common stock(re)= [$1.36/31.182)+0.094
 Cost of new common stock(re)=0.04361+0.094
Cost of new common stock(re)=0.1376*100
Cost of new common stock(re)=13.76%
Therefore the flotation-adjusted (net) cost of its new common stock will be 13.76%
