Answer:
$404,634
Explanation:
the formula that we can use to calculate equivalent annual costs is:
EAC = asset price x {discount rate / [1 - (1 + discount rate)⁻ⁿ]} + annual maintenance costs
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000 = $234,634 + $170,000 = $404,634
EAC is basically the cost of using an asset during its lifetime. We are determining the cost per year, assuming that they are all equal.
Suppose you receive at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is , what is the present value of these cash flows? b. What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?
Answer:
the question is missing the numbers, so I looked for a similar question:
Suppose you receive $100 at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of these cash flows? (Answer: $257) b. What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? (Answer: $324.61) c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays 8% interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?
a) PV = $100/1.08 + $100/1.08² + $100/1.08³ = $257.71
b) FV = $257.71 x (1 + 8%)³ = $324.64
c) FV = ($100 x 1.08²) + ($100 x 1.08) + $100 = $324.64
it is exactly the same as the answer for (b)
Presented below are four statements which you are to identify as true or false.
1. GAAP is the term used to indicate the whole body of FASB authoritative literature.
2. Any company claiming compliance with GAAP must comply with most standards and interpretations but does not have to follow the disclosure requirements.
3. The primary governmental body that has influence over the FASB is the SEC.
4. The FASB has a government mandate and therefore does not have to follow due process in issuing a standard.
Answer:
1. True.
2. False.
3. True.
4. False.
Explanation:
GAAP is an acronym for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It comprises of the accounting standard, procedures and principles used by public institutions in the United States of America. The GAAP is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
GAAP includes each of the following pronouncements:
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards.Accounting Research Bulletins.Accounting Principles Board Opinions.For external reporting purposes, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) allows companies to use only the traditional format of the income statement.
When accountants prepare and compile financial statements for public firms, it must be in line with United States of America, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Also, the financial accounting standards board (FASB) is a private, non-profit organization saddled with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining standard financial accounting and reporting for general guidance of individuals such as investors, issuers and auditors.
Additionally, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reviews registration statements of bond issuers, investment advisers etc, to ensure they comply with current laws and regulations.
1. True: GAAP is the term used to indicate the whole body of FASB authoritative literature.
2. False: Any company claiming compliance with GAAP must comply with most standards and interpretations but does not have to follow the disclosure requirements. All companies are required to follow the disclosure requirements at all times.
3. True: The primary governmental body that has influence over the FASB is the SEC.
4. False: The FASB has a government mandate and therefore does not have to follow due process in issuing a standard. FASB has to follow due process all the time in issuing standards.
Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.25 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 32% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 6% per year. If the required return on Computech is 17%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
P₀ = $12.23
Explanation:
Div₃ = $1.25
Div₄ = $1.65
Div₅ = $2.178
Div₆ = $2.30868
first we must calculate the terminal value using the dividend discount model = $2.30868 / (17% - 6%) = $20.988
now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value
P₀ = $1.25/1.17³ + $1.65/1.17⁴ + $2.178/1.17⁵ + $20.988/1.17⁵ = $12.23
You are CEO of Rivet Networks, maker of ultra-high performance network cards for gaming computers, and you are considering whether to launch a new product. The product, the Killer X3000, will cost $900,000 to develop up front (year 0), and you expect revenues the first year of $800,000, growing to $1.5 million the second year, and then declining by 40% per year for the next 3 years before the product is fully obsolete. In years 1 through 5, you will have fixed costs associated with the product of $100,000 per year, and variable costs equal to 50% of revenues.
A. What are the cash flows for the project in years 0 through 51
B. Plot the NPV profile for this nvestment using discount rates from 0% to 50% in 5% increments.
C. What is the project's NPV if the project's cost of capital is 10%?
D. Use the NPV profile to estimate the cost of capital at which the project would become unprofitable; that is, estimate the project's IRR or calculate it using the data.
Initial investment $900,000
Revenues vear 1 $800,000
Revenues vear 2 $1,500,000
Revenues decline years 4000
Fixed costs vears 1-5 $100,000
Variable costs 50%
Answer:
F= (900,000)
F1= 300,000
F2 = 650,000
F3 = 350,000
F4 = 170,000
F5 = 62,000
NPV at 10% $327487
IRR 20.587%
Explanation:
F0 -900,000
revenues variable cost fixed cost net flow
F1 800,000 -400000 -100,000 = 300,000
F2 1,500,000 -750000 -100,000 = 650,000
F3 900000 -450000 -100,000 = 350,000
F4 540000 -270000 -100,000 = 170,000
F5 324000 -162000 -100,000 = 62,000
NPV at 10%:
For each cashflow, we apply the discount of a lump sum formula
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
And add them together for the net present value
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Year&$cashflow&PV\\0&-900,000&-900,000\\1&300,000&272,727\\2&650,000&537,190\\3&350,000&262,960\\4&170,000&116,112\\5&62,000&38,497\\Total&&327487\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
We solve for the IRR using the excel IRR formula
we list the cashflow and use IRR to select them.
Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2015:
Allister Barone
Inventory $50,000 $300,000
Sales 1,000,000 8,00,000
Investment income Not given
Cost of goods sold 500,000 400,000
Operating expenses 230,000 300,000
Allister acquired 90 percent of Barone in January 2020. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $66,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a six-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2021, Barone sells inventory costing $135,000 to Allister for $190,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end.
Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2015:
a. Inventory
b. Sales
c. Cost of Goods Sold
d. Operating Expenses
e. Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
Answer:
a. $344,500
b. $1,610,000
c. $405,500
d. $530,000
e. $9,550 loss
Explanation:
First, Eliminate the Intragroup transactions as follows :
Elimination Journal for the Intragroup Sale :
Sales (Barone) $190,000 (debit)
Cost of Sales (Allister) $190,000 (credit)
Elimination of unrealized profit in closing inventory :
Cost of Sales (Barone) $5,500 (debit)
Inventory (Allister) $5,500 (credit)
Unrealized Profit in Inventory ($190,000 - $135,000) × 10% = $5,500
Then, Consolidate the Financial Statements taking into account the elimination journals
Note : Consolidation is 100% of Parent + 100% of Subsidiary.
Note : A firm that is exercising control (> 50% Voting Rights) is required to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 3.
Consolidated Income Statement
Sales (1,000,000 + 8,00,000 - $190,000) $1,610,000
Cost of Sales ( $500,000 + 400,000 - $190,000 + $5,500) ($715,500)
Gross Profit $894,500
Less Operating Expenses ($230,000 + $300,000) ($530,000)
Net Income $364,500
Consolidated Financial Statement (Extract)
Inventory ($50,000 + $300,000 - $5,500) $344,500
Subsidiary Profit
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = Net Subsidiary Income × % Non Controlling Interest
Net Subsidiary Income - Barone
Sales (800,000 - 190,000) $610,000
Less Cost of Sales ( 400,000 + 5,500) ($405,500)
Gross Profit $204,500
Less Operating Expenses ($300,000)
Net Income/ (loss) ($95,500)
Therefore,
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = ($95,500) × 10%
= $9,550 loss
how globalization has changed jobs in an organization where you have worked. What are some HR responses to those changes
Explanation:
Globalization is a phenomenon that has interconnected the world in a political, economic, social and cultural way, which means that this phenomenon has had a significant impact on an organization's business world and HR sector.
An organization that is present in a globalized world, will need to develop new ways of carrying out processes, since this environment is increasingly competitive and needs creativity and innovation for a company to remain well positioned in the market. It is also necessary to highlight that people have new work demands and seek to work in companies that exercise corporate governance and improve their socio-environmental environment.
Therefore, HR was positively impacted by globalization in a positive way, establishing an integration of its processes and people, in order to seek cultural and professional diversity in the recruited professionals, which combine greater innovation and competence for the company. In addition, organizations are more flexible and open to communication, assertiveness, self-management and processes that assist in innovation, motivation and continuous improvement of processes.
Your client, Bob, is the CEO of a corporation that has 12 stockholders who are also the only employees of the business. The corporation operates a boat dealership in Sherman, Texas. The corporation has accumulated earnings and profits of $3,000,000, not including the current year’s taxable income, which is expected to be $800,000. No dividends have been paid to stockholders. Bob has been very pleased with the corporation’s performance and he wants to reward the stockholders.
1. Why should Bob declare a cash dividend over giving stockholders a bonus?2. Why should Bob not consider paying a larger year-end bonus to his employee/stockholders’
Answer:
1. Why should Bob declare a cash dividend over giving stockholders a bonus?
Bob should not declare a cash dividend, instead he should give the employees/stockholders a bonus. A corporation distributes dividends with their after tax income, while bonuses actually decrease net income and lowers taxes. it is always better to pay less taxes.
2. Why should Bob not consider paying a larger year-end bonus to his employee/stockholders’.
In this case, if you have to choose between declaring a dividend or paying a bonus, Bob should definitely pay a bonus. But the bonus should not be larger than the corporation's expected income. It is not a good idea to incur in an operating loss due to huge bonuses.
Sunland Diesel owns the Fredonia Barber Shop. He employs 4 barbers and pays each a base rate of $1,440 per month. One of the barbers serves as the manager and receives an extra $520 per month. In addition to the base rate, each barber also receives a commission of $9.15 per haircut. Other costs are as follows.
Advertising $240 per month
Rent $1,100 per month
Barber supplies $0.35 per haircut
Utilities $185 per month plus $0.10 per haircut
Magazines $35 per month Sunland currently charges $16 per haircut.
Vin currently charges $10 per haircut.
Required:
a. Determine the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs.
b. Compute the break-even point in units and dollars.
c. Prepare a CVP graph, assuming a maximum of 1,800 haircuts in a month. Use increments of 300 haircuts on the horizontal axis and $3,000 on the vertical axis.
d. Determine net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month.
Answer:
a. Variable costs = $9.60 and Fixed Costs = $7,840
b. 1,225 haircuts and $19,600
c. See attachment
d. $2,400
Explanation:
Variable Costs per haircut Calculations
Barber supplies $0.35
Utilities $0.10
Commission $9.15
Total Variable Costs per haircut $9.60
Total Monthly Fixed Costs Calculation
Base Salary (1,440 × 4 + 520) $6,280
Advertising $240
Rent $1,100
Utilities $185
Magazines $35
Total Monthly Fixed Costs $7,840
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable Cost per unit
= $16.00 - $9.60
= $6.40
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Selling Price
= $6.40 ÷ $16.00
= 0.40
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $7,840 ÷ $6.40
= 1,225 haircuts
Break-even point (dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $7,840 ÷ 0.40
= $19,600
Net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month [calculation]
Contribution (1,600 × $6.40) $10,240
Less Fixed Costs ($7,840)
Net Income/(loss) $2,400
Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $1,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $5,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year. (use the 2016 tax rate schedules).
1. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
2. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
3. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
Answer:
$24750
$47750
Explanation:
Total amount of Marc and Michelle's deduction. From AGI:
MAX of (ITEMIZED DEDUCTION or MARRIED FILING JOINTLY)
2016 TAX SCHEDULE :
STANDARD DEDUCTION FOR MARRIED FILING JOINTLY = $12600
Personal and dependency deduction = 4,050
(4050 * 3). = $12,150
Deduction from AGI = $12,600 + $12,150 = $24750
Taxable income :
Gross income = (Marc and Michelle's salary + corporate bond)
= $(64000 + 12000 + 500) = $76500
Contribution + alimony = ($2500 + $1500) = 4000
Taxable income = ($76500 - 4000 - 24750) = $47750

How much would the Gerrards have to put down if the lender required a minimum 20 percent down payment
Answer:
the first part of the question is missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
Ben and Marie Gerrard, both in their mid-20s, have been married for 4 years and have two preschool-age children. Ben has an accounting degree and is employed as a cost accountant at an annual salary of $63,000. They're now renting a duplex but wish to buy a home in the suburbs of their rapidly developing city. They've decided they can afford a $210,000 house and hope to find one with the features they desire in a good neighborhood.
If the Gerrards are required to make a minimum 20% down payment, then they need to pay at least $210,000 x 20% = $42,000.
Many lenders require a minimum down payment for a mortgage loan and others charge different interest rates depending on the down payment percentage, e.g. if your down payment represents 30% of the house's value, the interest rate will be lower than a loan with a 20% down payment. The logic behind this is that the higher the down payment, the safer the loan.
On January 1, 20X8, L Corporation acquired all of the common stock of S Company for $300,000. On that date, S Company's identifiable net assets had a fair value of $250,000. The assets acquired in the purchase of S are considered to be a separate reporting unit of L Corporation. The carrying value of S Company's net assets at December 31, 20X8, is $310,000. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be 260,000. Determine the amount, if any, of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8.
a. 40,000
b. 50,000
c. 10,000
d. 60,000
Answer:
b. 50,000
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of impairment loss is shown below:-
The Amount of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8 is
= Net assets - Fair value of reporting unit
= $310,000 - $260,000
= $50,000
Therefore we applied the above formula to determine the amount of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8.

2017 2016
Free cash flow
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
a. Current ratio
= Total current asset / Total current liabilities
2017
Current asset. 890,400
Current liabilities 424,000
Current ratio = 890,400/424,000
= 2.1
2016 Current ratio
Current asset. 999,600
Current liabilities 357,000
Current ratio = 999,600/357,000
= 2.8
b. Earnings per share
= (Net income - Preference dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding
2017
Net income. 166,830
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 201,000
Earnings per share = $166,830/201,000
= $0.83
2016 Earnings per share
Net income $337,600
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 211,000
Earnings per share = $337,600/211,000
= $1.6
c. Debt to asset ratio
= Total liabilities / Total assets
2017
Total liabilities 573,300
Total assets 1,950,000
= 573,300/1,950,000
= 0.29
2016 Debt to asset ratio
Total liabilities 552,132
Total assets 1,878,000
Debt to asset ratio = 552,132/1,878,000
= 0.29
d. Free cash flow
2017
Cash flow from operating activities 300,000
Less: capital expenditure (271,000)
Free cash flow 29,000
2016 free Cash flow from operating activities
Free cash flow 452,600
Less: capital expenditure (246,500)
Free cash flow. 206,100
One of the disadvantages of the sole proprietorship is related to the fact that the amount of equity capital that can be raised to finance the business is limited to the owner's personal wealth. ____________ is about determining how the firm should finance or pay for assets. The risk manager monitors and manages the firm's risk exposure in financial and commodity markets and the firm's relationships with insurance providers. Privately held, or closely held, corporations are typically owned by a small number of investors, and their shares are not traded publicly.
Answer:
The missing word is: Financial Risk
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Financial Risk" is used in the field of business and finances in order to explain that the companies, and also the government, have to find a way to determine how the firm will finance itself so that they could pay for all the assets they own. Moreover, this financial term implicates the loss of the money that can happen when the company needs to invest in assets and the operations may not go right. So that is why that it is a concept used to understand the danger that the organization has when it comes to acquire the assets and pay for them.
Label the following hypothetical demand scenarios. Use the midpoint method.
Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature "lunchbox" container from $3.00 to $4.00. As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000. ..........
Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5. ..................
CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day. ...............
Inelastic unit-elastic Elastic perfectly elastic
Answer:
Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature "lunchbox" container from $3.00 to $4.00. As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000.
UNIT ELASTIC ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is unit elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in the quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(15 - 20) / [(15 + 20)/2]} / {($4 - $3) / [($4 + $3)/2]} = -0.2857 / 0.2857 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms
Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5.
INELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally lower change in the quantity demanded.
CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.
ELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the demand for a good is elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally higher change in quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(61,000 - 70,000) / [(61,000 + 70,000)/2]} / {($2.21 - $2) / [($2.21 + $2)/2]} = -0.1374 / 0.1 = -1.374 or |1.374| in absolute terms
1. Accrual accounting is used by the vast majority of companies. *
O
True
O False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The accrual accounting system is one of the two methods of reporting or recording income and expenses. The other way is the cash system.
In the accrual method, income and expenses are accounted for when they were earned or incurred regardless of whether money changed hands. Sales are reported when goods are delivered, and the invoice is issued even if the customer has not paid.
The accrual system is the standard method of operating for many businesses, big and small. The accrual method matches revenue and income with the time of their respective economic events. The general accounting principles recommend the accrual accounting system for both the private and public sectors.
Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual after-tax cost
Additional salary = $ 10,000
Marginal tax rate=21%
First step is to find the income tax benefit
Income tax benefit = $ 10,000 x 21%
Income tax benefit= $ 2,100
Second step is to find the Annual after tax cost of additional salary
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $ 10,000 - $2,100
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $7,900
Therefore the annual after-tax cost will be $7,900

Nell and Kirby are in the process of negotiating their divorce agreement. What should be the tax consequences to Nell and Kirby if the following, considered individually, became part of the agreement?
a. In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.
Nell's basis for the stock is _______$ X
Kirby's basis in the house is ______$ X
b. Nell will receive $1,000 per month for 120 months. If she dies before receiving all 120 payments, the remaining payments will be made to her estate.
The payments (qualify, do not qualify) as alimony and are (included in, excluded from) Nell's gross income as they are received.
c. Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.
$ X per month is alimony that is (included in, excluded from) Nell's gross income, and the remaining $ X per month is considered(child support, property settlement) and is (nontaxable, taxable) to Nell.
Answer:
a. In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.
Nell's basis for the stock is $150,000
Kirby's basis in the house is $300,000
The transfer of property due to divorce is nontaxable. The $50,000 that Nell receives is generally considered alimony (for tax purposes).
b. Nell will receive $1,000 per month for 120 months. If she dies before receiving all 120 payments, the remaining payments will be made to her estate.
The payments NOT QUALIFY as alimony and are EXCLUDED FROM Nell's gross income as they are received.
The TC&JA changed alimony rules and made them not deductible for the spouse that gives it, and not taxable for the spouse that receives it. It now works in a similar manner than child support. It doesn't make any difference now if payments are alimony or not.
c. Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.
$300 per month is alimony that is EXCLUDED FROM Nell's gross income, and the remaining $900 per month is considered CHILD SUPPORT and is NONTAXABLE to Nell.
Again, the TC&JA changed the rules, so alimony received is not taxable.
Which section of a CAR Residential Purchase Agreement is a provision divided into three sections: mediation, arbitration of disputes, and additional terms?
Answer: Appraisal contingency and Removal.
Explanation:
The appraisal contingency, is a kind of CAR residential purchase agreement, which allows a buyer to back out of the deal if the house appraises for less than the already agreed-upon value. and the loan contingency, this term lets the buyer back out if he/she can't get their loan approved for the said purposes.
The section of a car residential purchase agreement that separates it into three sections would be:
Section 9C
The section titled 9C functions to separate the property purchase provisions into three varied divisions. These divisions include mediation followed by arbitration of disputes, and the external terms that fulfill the remaining ones.The other options are present in order to fulfill if either of them fails to resolve the dispute.Thus, "section 9C" is the correct answer.

Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument
Answer:
A)Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.
In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.
Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.

James Dodgsen is a student in a graduate course in business. The professor in the course has given Dodgsen and his classmates a surprise quiz in class. Dodgsen did not do the reading for class that day because he had been grading papers as part of his TA position. He has been prepared for every other class that semester. As he glances as the quiz questions, he realizes that he does not know any of the answers. However, he sees that Jane Frampton, the student who sits next to him, is well prepared and answering the questions with great ease. He can see her answers because of her large, block-style printing. Dodgsen copies her answers.
a. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because the pop quiz was unfair.
b. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers because he was fulfilling his TA responsibilities instead of preparing for class.
c. Dodgsen is justified in using the answers if he intends to read the material eventually.
d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.
Answer:
d. Dodgsen has been dishonest.
Explanation:
Looking at the scenario in the question above, it is possible to say that James Dodgsen was dishonest in copying Jane's responses.
This question leads us to the conclusion that Dodgen's schedule lacked organization. As much as he was prepared for the other classes and having just coincided with a surprise test when he couldn't find time to study the content of that class specifically, there is a problem looking at his classmate's answers when the test given by the teacher was individual guidance.
The organization of the agenda is essential for a student of business administration, since the corporate environment consists of the functions of organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling, therefore there must be established times for each task of daily fulfillment, whether in a personal or professional environment. , so that there is a greater possibility of fulfilling the essential tasks and the established objectives are properly achieved
