Answer:
$11 billion annually.
Explanation:
Firms carried out assessments based on their daily activities as well as employee assessment.
Employees in firms are assessed based on their productivity level, rate at which they are absent from work as well as their turnover rate in the firm.
Low productivity can be defined as a decrease in the production capacity of a firm due to the inefficiency of workers.
Absenteeism can be defined as when a person is not present at work. This may be due to genuine or deliberate reasons.
Employee turnover can be defined as the number of employees who leave a firm and are replaced with new employees.
Low productivity, consistent absenteeism and employee turnover rates are said to cause firms to lose a lot of money due to:
a. Payment of salary for absent workers
b. Having to find replacement for absent staffs.
c. Low productivity due to lack of or absent staffs.
It is estimated that firms lose $11 billion annually in productivity, absenteeism, and employee turnover due to caring for aging parents.
Answer:
(A) Half-year and (D) Half-year
Explanation:
MACRS stands for Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System and is the most commonly-used tax depreciation method .Without getting into too much detail, MACRS is accelerated depreciation that allows for a larger deduction while the asset is still new. By comparison, straight-line depreciation gives you the same deduction year after year over the asset's useful life. MACRS cannot be used for intangible property, nor can it be used to depreciate. MACRS convention determines the number of months for which you can claim depreciation during a partial year, either when you first placed the asset in service or when you disposed of it. The mid-month convention only applies to residential rental property, nonresidential real property, and railroad grading or tunnel bore. It simply means that you get a half month's worth of depreciation no matter when that asset was placed into (or taken from) service during that month, whether that was at the beginning, middle, or end of the month. The half-year convention works the same way but instead of the month it goes by the year. In other words, you'll get 6 months' depreciation if the asset was placed into service or disposed of during the year, no matter if it was in January or December.

Answer:
Correct option is (C)
Explanation:
Given:
Face value of bond (FV) = $1,000
Coupon rate = 6.2% annual and 6.2 / 2 = 3.1% semi annual
Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.031 × 1,000 = $31
Maturity period (nper) = 8×2 = 16 periods
Rate = 8.3% annual or 8.3 / 2 = 4.15%
Present value of bond can be computed using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)
Present value of bond when yield is 8.3% is $878.99
If ytm increases to 8.6% annual or 8.6 / 2 = 4.3% semi annual, then present value of bond will be $863.22 (using spreadsheet function again)
It can be seen that as ytm increased from 8.3% to 8.6%, price of bond fell by $15.77 approximately (878.99 - 863.22)
