Answer:

  1. b. Financial scandals and corporate fraud.
  2. b. By legally requiring companies to certify the truth of their statements to investors.
  3. d. The cost and difficulties of compliance.

Explanation:

After the U.S. was rocked by the financial scandals and corporate fraud of companies like Enron and WorldCom, the U.S. Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to mitigate the risk of such ever occurring again.

The Act involves making the management personally liable for the accuracy of the statements by legally requiring companies to certify the truth in their statements to their investors.

While this seems easy enough, it requires a lot of information gathering which has left companies paying millions to comply.

Answer:

Explanation:

Annual worth: this will be the annuity payment equivalent to all the cashflow of the investment. Thus the PMT of the net present value

Cash Investment at F0: <em>230,000/2 = 115,000</em>

present value of 7,500 salvage value:

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

Maturity  7,500.00

time   7 years

MARR: 10% = 0.1

\frac{7500}{(1 + 0.1)^{7} } = PV  

PV  <em> 3,848.69 </em>

<u>Then, we need to calculate the present value of the loan discounted at 10%</u>

half the investment is finance: 230,000 / 2 = <em>115,000</em>

Then, this capitalize 2 year at 8% before the first payment:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 115,000.00

time 2 year

MARR: 10% = 0.08000

115000 \: (1+ 0.08)^{2} = Amount

Amount 134,136.00

Now we need to discount this loan at 10% which is our rate of return:

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

Maturity  134,136.00

time   2.00

MARR: 10% = 0.1

\frac{134136}{(1 + 0.1)^{2} } = PV  

PV   <em>110,856.20 </em>

Finally: we add this values to get the resent worth:

<em>115,000 +  110,856.20 - 3,848.69 = </em><em>222,007.51</em>

<em />

Last step, we calculate the PMT of the present worth:

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

PV 222,007.51

time 7 years

MARR: 10% = 0.1

222007.51 \div \frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-7} }{0.1} = C\\

C  $ 45,601.564

miskamm [114]

Answer:

B. False.

Explanation:

The above statement is false in that it asserts that information has not become the lifeblood of every organization. While it's true that an increasing volume of information today has increased and exchanged through the social networks and web2.0 tools like blogs, microblogs and wikisa, this further lends credence to the indispensability of information in this contemporary times.

In contrast, what Frank and Smallwood(2013) preached was that information has now become a lifeblood of every organization. This is an undisputed reality in their study and intellectual intervention. Thus, they went on give a demographic distribution of information through the use of social networks and/or web2.0 tools like blogs, microblogs, and wikisa.

Cameron Tiller is paid one and one-half times the regular hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week and do
kozerog [31]

Answer:

His regular earnings ( based on regular rates) is $480 while his total earnings for the week ended March 15 is $738.

Explanation:

Regular rate = $12 per hour

Rate for hours in excess of 40 hours per week

= (3/2) × $12

= $18

Rate for hours for Sunday is double

= 2 × $12

= $24

During the week ended March 15, 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday

Period in excess of 40 hours during the week

= (9 × 5) + 4 - 40

= 9

Total regular earning = 40 × $12

                                   = $480

Additional earnings = (9 × $18) + (4 × $24)

                                 = $162 + $96

                                 = $258

Total earnings = $480 + $258

                        = $738
