Baker Corp. is required by a debt agreement to maintain a current ratio of at least​ 2.5, and​ Baker's current ratio now is 3. B
Orlov [11]

Answer:

$1.67 Million

Explanation:

Current asset = 15 Million    

Current liabiltiy = 15 Million/3

                          = 5 Million    

Let the inventory X can be purchased with short term debt without violation

per current ratio requirement    

(15 + x)/5+x = 2.5    

       15 + x  = 12.5 + 2.5x    

            2.5 = 1.5x    

               x = $1.67 Million

Therefore, $1.67 Million inventory can Baker purchase without violating its debt agreement if their total current assets equal​ $15 million

Suppose your grandma sends you $100 for your birthday and you deposit $100 into your checking account at the local bank. The res
muminat

Answer:

$90; $900

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of deposits = $100

Required reserve ratio = 10%

Required reserves:

= Amount of deposits × Required reserve ratio

= $100 × 10%

= $10

Excess reserves = Deposits - Required reserves

                           = $100 - $10

                           = $90

Money multiplier:

= 1/ Required reserve ratio

= 1/ 0.1

= 10

Money Supply:

= Amount of excess reserves used for lending × Money multiplier

= $90 × 10

= $900

The money supply could eventually grow by as much as $900.

What is a characteristic of Cloud computing?​
Arisa [49]
Cloud computing services are paid for based on consumption. The business model is analogous to the utility, the rental car, or the hotel industries, where users don’t own any of the infrastructure (power/cars/rooms) and pay only for the services they consume on a monthly basis. Similar to the examples mentioned, cloud computing resources are available on-demand. That’s my three sentence synopsis of the business concept behind cloud computing, but I also see it as a technical change in the way IT resources are delivered and consumed.

Hope this helps!
