The text represents an example of the vishing social engineering attack.

Vishing is a term to refer to the fraudulent practice that consists of the use of the conventional telephone line and social engineering to deceive people and obtain sensitive information such as financial information or information useful for identity theft.

According to the above, it can be inferred that the described situation is an example of vishing because employees are forced to call a line where they ask for private information that could put them at risk of security.

You have two options to repay a loan. You can repay $6,000 now and $5,940 in one year; or you can repay $12,000 in 6 months. Fin
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

We will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Explanation:

The formula for Future value is:

FV=PV(1+i)^n

The present value will become:

PV=FV(1+i)^{-n}

where:

n is the number of years

Since the condition is same present value,so the given data form the equation:

6000+5940(1+i)^{-1}=12000(1+i)^{-1/2}

Divide above equation by (1+i)^{-1}

6000(1+i)+5940=12000(1+i)^{1/2}

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\. Above equation will become:

6000z^2+5940=12000z

Rearranging above equation:

5940-12000z+6000z^2=0

Solving the quadratic equation:

z=1.1,    z=0.9

Let z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\ will become:

z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\\\z^2=1+i

i=z^2-1

For z=1.1

i=(1.1)^2-1\\i=0.21

For z=0.9

i=(0.9)^2-1\\i=-0.19

we will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Chess Top uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 480 units that cost $6
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The cost of ending inventory is $24314.

Explanation:

Under the average cost method, the inventory is valued at the average cost of all the inventory that is available from the start of the month and the purchases made.

The average cost of inventory can be calculated by summing up the total cost of beginning inventory and purchases and dividing it by the total number of units available for sale.

Average cost per unit = [ 480*65 + 720*68 + 360*70 ] / [480 + 720 + 360]

Average cost per unit = 67.538 rounded off to $67.54 per unit

The total inventory available for sale = 480+720+360 = 1560 units

The ending inventory in units = 1560 - 1200 = 360 units

The cost of ending inventory = 360 * 67.54 = $24314.4 rounded off to $24314

dangina [55]

Answer:

Under north Carolina's laws, the developer must refund the buyer's money within a 30 day period since the purchase date. North Carolina law also sets a deadline of 5 calendar days to cancel a timeshare contract, so this buyer barely made it on time. A buyer cannot waive his right to cancellation, even if the option is not included in the contract.
