Answer: WorldCom

Explanation:

The WorldCom scandal of 2002 was the worst one in U.S. history and led to shareholders losing over $30 billion as a result of share prices falling drastically when it was revealed that the company had been making fraudulent accounting entries to look successful when it fact it had been losing money.

Betty Vinson was the company's Director of Corporate Reporting and her boss, CEO Bernie Ebbers, pressured her into making fraudulent entries because it was said that he "didn't want to disappoint Wall Street". This scandal was one of those that directly led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act being passed.

bonds = $4400

and mutual fund = $3400

Explanation:

given data

savings account paying = 4.5% per year

bonds paying = 5%

income from these investments = $455

to find out

How much did the worker place in the government bonds

and hen his investment in bonds is = 2x for 5%

and rest is 10000- x - 2x

that is = (10000- 3x ) for 4%

interest equation will be here

0.045 x + 0.05 (2x) + 0.04 (10000-3x) = 455

solve we get

x = 2200

You have arranged for a loan on your new car that will require the first payment today. The loan is for $24,500, and the monthly

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

84%

Explanation:

APR is the annual rate of interest that is paid on an investment, without taking into account the compounding of interest within that year. APR is calculated by multiplying the periodic interest rate by the number of periods in a year in which the periodic rate is applied.

Divide the finance charge by the loan amount. In this case, $3,400 divided by $24,500 equals 0.138

Multiply the result by 365 to get 50.4

Divide the result by the term of the loan. In this case, 50.4 divided by 60 is 0.84

Multiply the result by 100 to turn the answer into a percentage 84%
