Answer:

It has to do with cost, portion control and child personality training

Explanation:

1. Portion Control: Parents often give their children so much more to eat than they can, when meals are presented pre-plated and this can lead to waste, which would have been avoided in a family-style meal where each child can pick for themselves as much as they know they can eat.

2. Cost Control: Pre-plated meals because of their nature of already-defined-portions could help parents budgeting as against when children begin to pick so much more portions of fish at meal time, than they do vegetables; which can spike the cost of each meal

3. Personality Training: In pre-plated meals, the decision making is in the hands of the parent but in the family style meals, the child is beginning to learn how to make choices and decisions, early enough in life; which have have huge leadership benefits at the work place and personally, later in life.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established after the great depression. Bank run was attributed to be one of the causes of the great depression. The FDIC increases confidence of depositors in banks because they insure the deposit of bank customers. In the case a bank fails, customers are assured that they would not lose their monies deposited

The FDIC provides protection for up to $250,000 of deposits

$55,000 is less than $250,000, thus the depositors would receive full protection

2. United Uninsured Underwriters (U3) needs to raise $192 million. If it issues new common stock to raise the funds, the flotati

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Let x denote the no of shares of common stock to be issued by UUU at a price of $25 per share

Therefore, the total money raised is $24 * x

Given that UUU has to incur flotation cost of 8% plus additional costs of $280,000, the total flotation costs work out to $25 * x * 0.08 + $280,000

Since UUU needs $192 million, calculation of the value of x is as follows:

$25 * x - ($25 * x * 0.08 + $280,000) = $192 million

$25 * (1-0.08) * x = $192 million + $280,000

x = 192.28 million/25 * 0.92

x = 8.36 million

Therefore, UUU has to issue 8,360,000 shares of common stock at $25 to obtain its funding need of $192 million

The flotation costs would be $25 * 8,360,000 * 0.08 + $280,000 = $17 million

Out of the total money raised of 8,360,000 * $25 = $209 million, after deducting the flotation costs of $17 million, UUU will receive $192 million
