<span>#1) Which of the law ideas might be created under the Elastic Clause?

Answer:
First we have to understand that the Elastic Clause is a statement in the constitution, Clause in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution that gives Congress the right to make all laws “Necessary and Proper”. Its interpretation has caused many debates regarding the bounds of Congress in passing laws that are not expressly covered in the Constitution. Out of all the options that are available the most likely to be created under the elastic clause is A) rules for approving foreign treaties.

Ortega Industries manufactures 15,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined to be as foll
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Decrease by $30,000

Explanation:

Cost to buy = 15,000 * $34

Cost to buy = $510,000

Note: Since Ortega is buying 15000 units at $34, the $40,000 avoidable cost on fixed manufacturing overhead is non-applicable.

Cost of making = $150,000 + $240,000 + $90,000

Cost of making = $480,000

So, if Ortega purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be decrease by $30,000 ($510,000-$480,000).

gogolik [260]

Answer:

$321 per share.

Explanation:

Given that

Annual cash flows  = $18,000

Number of shares outstanding = 100

Dividend per share = $180

Required rate of return = 8%

So by considering the above information, the present value of the share of a stock is

Present value of share = Dividend received × Present value of $1 received every year at the end of year 2  at 8%

= $180 × 1.7832

= $321 per share.
