Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Overhead costs are often affected by many issues and are frequently too complex to be explained by any one factor.

Explanation:

Overhead is an accounting term used for costs that must be paid, even though the company receives no profits. A company would not be able to survive without paying its overhead expenses but the costs are not connected directly to a product or service being generated. Examples of overhead costs are rent, utilities, office supplies, and maintenance.

<em>Overhead costs are difficult to be traced because they can be assigned to more than one factor.</em>

2.11%

YTM 0.089142162

YTC 0.068070103

Difference: 0.021072059 = 0.0211 = 2.11%

Explanation:

To calculate each rate we must solve for a rate at which the future coupon payment and maturity (or call value) equals the market price:

This is solve for excel and goal seek tool

It could also be solve with a financial calculator

YTC:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: $ 120

time 5 yeaars

rate 0.068070103 (solved with excel)

$120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0680701028057608)^{-5} }{0.0680701028057608} = PV\\$

PV $494.5766

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,050 (call price)

time 5.00

rate 0.068070103

$\frac{1050}{(1 + 0.0680701028057608)^{5} } = PV$

PV 755.42

PV c $494.5766

PV m $755.4235

Total $1,250.0002

YTM:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Cuopon payment: $ 120

time 15 years

rate 0.089142162 (solved with excel)

$120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0891421622982136)^{-15} }{0.0891421622982136} = PV\\$

PV $972.2006

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity $ 1,000.00

time 15 years

rate 0.089142162 (solved with excel)

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0891421622982136)^{15} } = PV$

PV 277.80

PV c $972.2006

PV m $277.7995

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is higher than that for the Hungarian project.

Explanation:

The break-even point is defined as that point or level of sales in which the total income is equal to the total costs and, therefore, no accounting profit or loss is generated in the operation. It is a mechanism for determining the point at which sales will exactly cover total costs. The breakeven point is also known as the Cost-Volume-Profit ratio, and emphasizes the different factors that affect profit. The break-even point allows determining the minimum number of units that must be sold or the minimum value of sales to operate without losses. The analysis of the break-even point answers the question related to the decisions that must be made about the planning of the profits of a company or an investment project. In this regard, it is convenient to say that the study of any investment project must include the calculation of the sales levels (either in units or in pesos) that are required for reach operational balance.

How important is structure/culture compared to the other primary internal considerations for a strategic plan?

ZanzabumX [31]

Explanation:

The organizational structure and culture are essential for the design of a strategic plan aligned with the organization's purpose.

What happens is that the structure and culture of an organization constitute its identity, its way of organizing itself and creating an environment designed to obtain the objectives and goals stipulated by strategic planning. So it can be said that there is no way to develop a strategic plan without considering the structure or culture, because it is through these two variables that action plans are developed and modeled according to what the company is, and what it plans to be in the future. All organizational systems must be foreseen in the planning and be developed with the same degree of importance, because together they form the organizational whole that will lead a company to be well positioned in the market, achieve continuous improvement in its processes, achieve competitive advantage in the market, etc.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer: c. interest rate falls; investment rises

Explanation:

The Fed buying treasury securities from banks is an expansionary policy when the government wants to increase the money in circulation and increase economic growth.

When the Fed buys Treasury securities from banks, this will lead to availability of funds as prices will be pushed higher and there will be a reduction in the interest rate.

Since there is reduction in interest rate, investment will increase as investors will borrow from banks.
