Answer: Objective Impossibility

Explanation:

I believe this question has options but regardless, Objective Impossibility should be the answer.

Objective Impossibility arises when a party can no longer render the performance required.

The Subject Matter of a contract being destroyed or any other supervening Impossibility after the formation of the contract are considered types of Objectives Impossibility.

Seeing as the Porsche was the subject matter and it was destroyed, it qualifies as an Objective Impossibility.

Please do react or comment if you need any clarification.

Consumers will willingly make less-informed decisions: a. ​ if information costs are less than the perceived benefits of gatheri
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, it is assumed that the buyers and sellers have perfect information and take their economic decisions accordingly. But in reality, buyers and sellers do not have perfect information.

Information comes at a cost, which can sometimes be high. The rational decisions of the consumers without full information can lead to irrational outcomes.

If the cost of gathering information is less than or equal to the benefit earned from the information, the consumers will gather information and make fully informed decisions.  

But if the cost is higher than the benefits, the consumers will not gather information and make a less informed decision.

An investment with more liquidity would be ideal for
ollegr [7]

Answer:

An investment with more liquidity would be ideal for someone who knows they will nee cash in the near future.

Explanation:

More liquid assets are those that can be  turn into cash more quickly than those that  less liquid assets.

If one is thinking about investing in a  liquid asset, surely is because it will need the cash in the short run. On the contrary, we could invest in other financial instruments less liquid (typically those who offer higher yields and have  longer terms), because we are not going to need the money for the moment, and we want to take advantage of that to get a higher yields.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

1. Ending Carrying value value in 2016 = legal cost for application which is $20,000

Avicorp has a $10 million debt issue outstanding, with a 6% coupon rate. The debt has semiannual coupons, the next coupon is due
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pretax cost of debt is the annual rate(YTM) of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate it;

N = 5*2 = 10

PV = -(95% *10,000,000) = -9,500,000

Coupon PMT = (6%/2)*10,000,000 = 300,000

FV = 10,000,000

then compute semiannual rate; CPT I/Y = 3.604%

convert to annual rate = 3.604*2 = 7.21%(this is the pretax cost of debt)

After tax cost of debt is calculated because interest payable on debt has tax shield. The formula is as follows;

Aftertax cost of debt = pretax cost of debt (1-tax)

AT cost of debt = 7.21% (1-0.40)

AT cost of debt = 4.33%
