Which of the following would be most likely associated with the expansionary phase of the economic business cycle?

1 answer:

6 0

I’m not exactly sure but- expansion is the phase of the business cycle where real GDP grows for two or more consecutive quarters, moving from a trough to a peak. This is typically accompanied by a rise in employment, consumer confidence, and equity markets. Expansion is also referred to as an economic recovery. Knowing this, it cannot be A where unemployment is high or B where inflation is high because inflation is the rise in the general level of prices where a unit of currency effectively buys less than it did in prior periods, it shouldn’t be D because the profits wouldn’t be on a decline, so making a guess using elimination it’s most likely C businesses produce more and hire workers

The HR scorecard determines if the HR department is providing the institution the correct human sources by questioning:

Current GAAP requires the allocation of total share-based compensation cost to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Cost allocations move costs and revenues between cost types, cost centers and cost objects. You can define as many assignments as you need. Each assignment consists of:

- An origin assignment.

- One or more assignment destinations.

The allocation source establishes what costs should be allocated, and the allocation destinations determine where the costs should be allocated. For example, an origin of allocation may be the costs of the type of cost Electricity and Heating. Assign all electricity and heating costs to three cost centers: Workshop, Production and Sales. These cost centers are the allocation destinations.

For each assignment source, you can define an assignment level, a validity period and a variant as a group identifier. You can use a batch job to define filters to select assignment definitions and then run cost assignments automatically.

A loan is amortized over five years with monthly payments (i.e. end of month) at an annual nominal interest rate of 5% compounde

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Given:
Amortizing period = 5 years
APR=5% per annum
interest rate, i = 0.05/12 per month
number of periods, n = 5*12=60 months (for amortization)
Payment schedule:
$500 at the end of first month,
increased by $20 each month thereafter.
Borrowed amount: not given

Question: Find outstanding loan balance after the 40th payment.

Solution:
Step 1: First we need to find the amount borrowed, P.
From the payment schedule, we decompose the payment into two components,

A. Equivalent uniform monthly payment, As, for a step amount of G=$20 a month, starting with zero after the first month, for a period of 5 years (n=60).
The value of As can be obtained from a specialized formula for step-payments,
$As=\frac{G((1+i)^{n}-i*n-1)}{i(1+i)^{n}-i}$
Substitute values, G=20,i=0.05/12,n=60
$As=\frac{20((1+.05/12)^{60}-(.05/12)*60-1)}{(.05/12)(1+.05/12)^{60}-(.05/60)}$
=565.0847

B. Principal, Pb, for a uniform monthly payment of A a month
The principal,Pb can be found from the basic amortizing formula to be
$Pb=\frac{A((1+i)^{n}-1)}{i(1+i)^{n}}$
We have
Equivalent uniform monthly payment
=500+equivalent uniform payment step amounts
=500+565.0847
=1065.0847
substituting values, A=1065.0847,i=.05/12,n=60
$=\frac{1065.0847((1+.05/12)^{60}-1)}{(.05/12)(1+.05/12)^{60}}$
=56439.591
check: average monthly payment = 1100
duration: 60 months
total amount paid = 60*1100=66000
average annual interest=((66000-56439)/56439-1)/5=3.3% (~ 5%/2) ok.

Amount borrowed, P=56439.591

Step 2: Future value of loan at the end of the 40th month.
This can be found by the compound interest formula
F=P(1+i)^n=56439.591(1+0.05/12)^40=66652.416

Step 3: Future value of payments
first we need to find the equivalent monthly payment of the step payments, using the same formula as in step 1, but with n=40
$A=\frac{G((1+i)^{n}-i*n-1)}{i(1+i)^{n}-i}$
$=\frac{20((1+0.05/12)^{40}-(0.05/12)*40-1)}{(0.05/12)(1+0.05/12)^{40}-(0.05/12)}$
=378.924
This should be added to the constant payment of $500 a month to give
A=500+378.924=878.924
Future value of monthly payment of 878.924
$F=\frac{A((1+i)^{n}-1)}{i}$
Substitute values, A=878.924, i=0.05/12, n=40
$=\frac{878.924((1+0.05/12)^{40}-1)}{0.05/12}$
=38170.213

Step 4: Outstanding balance right after the 40th payment
=future value of loan - future value of payments
=66652.416-38170.213
=28482.20

Answer: Outstanding balance after the 40th payment is $28482.20

Being a good corporate citizen and contributing to the community are examples of __ responsibilities.

Talja [164]

Answer:

corporate social responsibilities

Explanation:

Corporate Social Responsibility refers to the form of global self-regulation for private companies aimed at contributing to community objectives of an entrepreneurial, political, or humanitarian type or by participating in or promoting voluntary or ethically focused action.

Although before it was easy to explain CSR as an inner organizational practice or a business ethics technique, the period followed when different international legislation were established and different organizations used their power to move beyond person and even sector-wide programs.

Although it has long been known a type of organizational self-regulation, it has changed significantly over the past decades from voluntary actions at just the individual level companies to compulsory systems at local, domestic and international scale.
