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

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The correct option is (c)

Explanation:

From the year end balance sheet for 2014 and 2015 it can be seen that common stock balance as on 2014 was 2,000,000 and as on 2015, it increased to 3,000,000.

An increase in common stock implies that the company issued new 1,000,000 common stock in 2015.

Option (a) cannot be determined as no income statement item is given.

Option (b) is incorrect as the company reduced its short term bank debt in 2015.

Option (d) is incorrect as long term debt was issued in 2014 and not in 2015.

Option (e) is incorrect as company had issued and not repurchased common stock.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

PV= $50,981.17

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value at the end of the period:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payment

FV= {7,500*[(1.071^19) - 1]} / 0.071

FV= $283,234.78

<u>Now, the present value:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

in this case n=25 years

PV= 283,234.78 / (1.071^25)

PV= $50,981.17
