Answer:

1.10 dollars or 110 cents

Explanation:

We have a fall in the balance margin by contract.

We calculate the change as:

-1,500 =[ future price - (1.20)]*15000

We got 1.20 by dividing 120 by 10.

-1500 = [future price - (1.20)]*15000

Divide through by 15000

-1500/15000 = future price - 1.20

-0.10 = future price -1.20

Collect like terms

-0.10+1.20 = future price

1.10 = future price

Therefore the margin is $1.10 or 110 cents

joja [24]

Answer:

X=97.24

Explanation:

PV = Present Value = X+2000 by the 16th years

PMT = Payments = $100

FV = Future Value = 2000 at the end of 16 years

n= number of years

Applying the equation of future value for annuity

FV = pmt* ​((1+r)ⁿ - 1   )/r

Inputting the values;

2000=100*((1+r)¹⁶-1)/r

Solving for r, gives r = 2.9%

Therefore using the formula for PV for annuity;

PV=PMT*(1-(1/1+r)/r)

X=100*(1-(1/1.029)/0.029

X=100*((1-0.9718)/0.029)

X=100*(0.0282/0.029)

X=97.24

Talja [164]

Answer: The Option "d.returning inventory that is defective or broken" is NOT an example of safeguarding inventory.

Explanation: If we analyze the statements:

a.physical devices such as two-way mirrors, cameras, and alarms - These are all tools intended for protection against possible inventory theft.

b.storing inventory in restricted areas - Restricting access only to inventory-enabled personnel is able to protect the inventory much more than if anyone can access it.

c.matching receiving documents, purchase orders, and vendor's invoice - Controlling each of the purchase documents and performing the physical count reduces the possibilities of inventory differences for losses or errors.

d.returning inventory that is defective or broken - Returning the defective inventory is a post-echo action that occurred due to the unprotection of the inventory, therefore it could not be referred to as an example of inventory protection.
