<span>Technically, Kyle lied to Patrick about the time at which he would punch him. However, there is no contract to prove that this was what was said on the phone (heresay). Additionally, it does not mention that there was any sort of agreement or consideration made between the two of them regarding this. And even if there was, there might be a legality issue due to the fact that punching is both assault and battery when committed on a person, so the contract may not even be enforceable.
In terms of civil torts, Kyle didn't really commit anything that is pursuable in court, but did commit battery and assault. If Patrick fell or hit his head further and was injured/killed, he would be liable for an involuntary action, of which would be manslaughter if Patrick died. He would also be able to be sued for wrongful death by Patrick's family.</span>
Answer:
Increase by 5%.
Explanation:
Given that,
cross-price elasticity of demand between goods X and Y = 4
Percentage increase in consumption of good X = 20 %
cross-price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded for good X ÷ Percentage change in price of good Y
4 = 20 ÷ Percentage change in price of good Y
Percentage change in price of good Y = 20 ÷ 4
= 5%
Therefore, the price of good Y must be increase by 5% in order to increase the consumption of good X by 20 percent.
Answer:
a. Long
b. $375.00
Explanation:
a. If interest rates decrease over the period of investment, Treasury bond prices will increase. Thus, Dudley Savings Bank should take a long position in the futures contracts on the Treasury bonds. As T-bond prices go up, so will T-bond futures prices.
b. Given a long position:
Net profit = Sale price of futures − Purchase price of futures
= $107,687.50 − $107,312.50 = $375.00
Purchase price of futures = 107 − 100 = 107 10/32% × $100,000 = $107,312.50
Sale price of futures = 107 − 220 = 107 22/32% × $100,000 = $107,687.50
Explanation:
Answer:
$14,960
Explanation:
Pay $22,000 bill in December:
$22,000 tax deduction × 32%marginal tax rate = $7,040 in present value tax savings.
After-tax cost= Pretax Cost − Present Value
Tax Savings= $22,00 − $7,040
= $14,960
Therefore the after-tax cost if she pays the $22,000 bill in December will be $14,960
Answer:
$43.19
Explanation:
Use dividend discount model(DDM) to solve this question; specifically constant dividend growth model.
P0 = D1/(r-g)
P0 = Current price
D1 = Next year's dividend = $3.11
r = investors' required return = 11.4% or 0.114 as a decimal
g = dividend growth rate = 4.2% or 0.042 as a decimal
P0 = 3.11/(0.114 - 0.042)
P0 = $43.19
Therefore, this stock price is $43.19
