shtirl [24]

Explanation:

This can be an interesting idea to start entrepreneurship, since starting a pet sitter service just requires liking animals and publicizing the service, which can be done for free through social media. I believe this is a good opportunity to learn more about managing your own business, meeting a new network of people and understanding the service market, as well as being a source of extra income.

Entrepreneurship is all about identifying people's needs and turning them into products and services that can be profitable, in addition to being a great tool to assist in the development of individual skills, market knowledge, innovation capacity, etc.

zhenek [66]

Answer: D. must purchase shares of the open end fund in the primary market from the investment company and shares of the closed end fund in the secondary (stock) market.

Explanation:

Open ended funds have the power to issue unlimited shares and sells directly to investors which means that to purchase from them after they have launched, one would need to do so through the primary market from the investment company itself.

Closed-end funds however raise a fixed capital by issuing an Initial Public Offering and then the shares of the fund will then be listed in a stock exchange. To buy into such funds after a few years, you will have to go through the secondary market and buy it in the stock market.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: E) Lessors provide a source of financing for lessees.

Explanation:

A Lease is a form of financing because in financing, an entity provides funding in the form of assets whether cash or otherwise to another entity to allow them use to operate their business. The entity that was provided with funding will then pay a periodic payment as a way to pay off the funding.

This is what happens in leases. The Lessor is the owner of the asset and they lease it to the Lessee who then uses it and pays a periodic amount to the Lessor for using the asset.

You can buy a car that is advertised for $24,600 on the following terms: (a) pay $24,600 and receive a $4,600 rebate from the ma

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = Price of the car – rebate

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.
