Paul agrees to sell his clothing store to Michael and, as part of the sale, to execute a covenant not to compete promising not to open a similar store within one thousand miles for the next twenty years. A court reviewing the terms of the covenant would likely find that it is:________. a) unenforceable because all covenants not to compete are unreasonable. b) unreasonable as to both geographical scope and duration c) unreasonable with regard to duration d) enforceable
Answer:
d) enforceable
Explanation:
A court reviewing the terms of the covenant would likely find that it is enforceable. This is a standard clause found in many contracts and is also known as Non-compete clause. It is standard because a seller that has the experience of running a similar business can sell the business collect the profit from the sale and open create another similar business with little to no capital and quickly outperform their previous business due to the amount of experience that they have. In order to prevent this, many buyers require this clause to be added to the sales contract.

An annuity pays $500 every six months for 5 years. The annual rate of interest is 8% convertible semiannually. Find each of the following: (a) The PV of the annuity six months (one period) before the first payment, (b) the PV of the annuity on the day of the first payment, (c) the FV of the annuity on the day of the last payment, (d) and the FV of the annuity six months after the last payment.
Answer:
(a) The PV of the annuity six months (one period) before the first payment,
PV ordinary annuity = $500 x 8.1109 (PV annuity factor, 10 periods, 4%) = $4,055.45
(b) the PV of the annuity on the day of the first payment,
PV annuity due = $500 x 8.43533 (PV annuity due factor, 10 periods, 4%) = $4,217.67
(c) the FV of the annuity on the day of the last payment,
FV = $500 x 12.00611 (FV annuity factor, 4%, 10 periods) = $6,003.06
(d) and the FV of the annuity six months after the last payment.
FV = $6,003.06 x (1 + 4%) = $6,243.18
Spiro Corp. uses the sum-of-the-years' digits method to depreciate equipment purchased in January year 1 for $20,000. The estimated salvage value of the equipment is $2,000 and the estimated useful life is four years. What should Spiro report as the asset's carrying amount as of December 31, year 3
Answer:
Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3= $3,800
Explanation:
Depreciable amount = Cost - Salvage Value
Depreciable amount = 20,000-2,000
Depreciable amount = $18,000
Sum of years’ digits = 1+2+3+4 = 10
Depreciation for Year 1 = 18,000*4/10 = 7,200
Depreciation for Year 2 = 18,000*3/10 = $5,400
Depreciation for Year 3 = 18,000*2/10 = $3,600
Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3 = Purchase cost - Depreciation
Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3 = $20,000 - $7,200 - $5,400 - $3,600
Carrying value on Dec 31, Year 3= $3,800

Countries belonging to a ________ maintain whatever policies they see fit against nonmember countries.a) economic union.b) customs union.c) common market.d) free trade area.
Answer:
d) free trade area.
Explanation:
A free trade area refers to a region which comprises of a group of countries that have signed a free trade agreement to eliminate or reduce (limit) tariffs and non-tariffs or quotas among them.
A trade agreement can be defined as a pact or treaty signed between two or more countries to encourage the free flow (import and export) of goods and services among its members, as well as eliminating or reducing trade barriers such as quotas, tariffs on goods traded.
Trade agreements can cause jobs to go to countries that provide those jobs efficiently because all business entities or firms want to have competitive advantage over its rivals. Thus, business owners who have signed a treaty with other countries would tend to outsource or recruit workers from countries that provide their services efficiently.
Hence, countries belonging to a free trade area maintain whatever policies they see fit against nonmember countries
Suppose Shaan invested just $10,000 of his own money and had a $90,000 mortgage with an interest rate of 8.5 percent. After three years, he sold the property for $120,000.
(a) What is his gross profit?
(b) What is his net profit or loss? (Input the amount as a positive value.)
(c) What is the rate of return on investment? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. $20,000
b. -$2,950
c. -29.50%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Gross Profit is
= Sale value of Property - Invested amount - Mortgage amount
= $120,000 - $10,000 - $90,000
= $20,000
b. Net Profit
= Gross profit - number of years × mortgage amount × rate of interest
= $20,000 - 3 × $90,000 × 8.5%
= -$2,950
And,
c) Rate of return is
= Net profit ÷ invested amount
= -$2,950 ÷ $10,000
= -29.50%
Burnett Corp. pays a constant $8.90 dividend on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 12 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 11 percent, what is the current share price?
Answer:
Price today = $57.78196973 rounded off to $57.78
Explanation:
The dividends paid by the stock can be said to be in the form of an annuity as the dividend payment is constant, it occurs after equal interval of time and it is expected for a finite or limited period of time. These satisfy the conditions of being an annuity. We assume that the dividend are paid at the end of the year and this is in form of an ordinary annuity.
To calculate the present value of the stock today, we will use the formula for present value of ordinary annuity. The formula for present value of annuity is attached.
Price today = 8.9 * [ (1 - (1+0.11)^-12) / 0.11 ]
Price today = $57.78196973 rounded off to $57.78

5. Suppose you are working in a ceramics factory and you are constructing control chart for an critical feature with batches of very fragile parts that common get broken during the measurements. You always start with 8 parts, but sometimes a few of them are broken while measuring them. What type of control chart would you construct and why
Explanation:
Analyzing the above scenario, the ideal type of control chart for construction would be the EWMA control chart integrated with the VSS and VSI control, because unlike traditional charts, it considers the variable sample size (VSS) and the variable sampling interval ( VSI) and therefore are more effective in considering the variations in the process in the control, which was what happened in the question above, since during the process of building the control chart there are some changes resulting from the breaking of the ceramic pieces, so it is ideal to build a graph that detects the changes in a more complete way.
A ________ is an unsecured bond, and most of the bonds sold today in the United States are of this type.A) mortgage bondB) debentureC) senior bondD) bond indenture
Answer:
B) debenture
Explanation:
A bond refers to a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (creditor or investor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time.
Generally, the bond issuer is expected to return the principal at maturity with an agreed upon interest to the bondholder, which is payable at fixed intervals.
A debenture is an unsecured bond, and most of the bonds sold today in the United States are of this type because it's a long-term security that yields fixed rate of interest.
XYZ Corporation, whose common stock is currently selling for $40 per share, is having a rights offering. The terms of the offering require 10 rights plus $35 to subscribe to one share of stock. Compute the theoretical value of a right before the ex-rights date.
Answer:
$0.45
Explanation:
Computation for the theoretical value of a right before the ex-rights date
Using this formula
Theoretical value=(Common stock-Required offering subscription shares)÷(Offering require right+1)
Let plug in the formula
Theoretical value= ($40 ‒ $35) ÷ (10+1)
Theoretical value= $5.00 ÷ 11
Theoretical value=$0.45
Therefore the theoretical value of a right before the ex-rights date will be $0.45
Gordon Company started operations on January 1 of the current year. It is now December 31, the end of the current annual accounting period. The part-time bookkeeper needs your help to analyze the following three transactions:
a. During the year, the company purchased office supplies that cost $2,300. At the end of the year, office supplies of $670 remained on hand.
b. On January 1 of the current year, the company purchased a special machine for cash at a cost of $23,500. The machine's cost is estimated to depreciate at $2,350 per year.
c. On July 1, the company paid cash of $840 for a two-year premium on an insurance policy on the machine; coverage began on July 1 of the current year.
Answer:
Gordon Company
Analysis of Transactions at December 31:
a. Office Supplies $670 (DR)
Office Supplies Expense $1,630 (DR)
b. Equipment $23,500 (DR)
Accumulated Depreciation on Equipment $2,350 (CR)
Depreciation Expense - Equipment $2,350 (DR)
c. Prepaid Insurance $630 (DR)
Insurance Expense $210 (DR)
Explanation:
1. The Office Supplies Account will be debited with $2,300 and credited with $1,630 ($2,300 - $670) as Office Supplies Expense (used supplies) for the year. This will leave a debit balance of $670 in the account.
2. The equipment account will be maintained at its cost, while a contra account (accumulated depreciation) is created to accumulate the depreciation expenses over the years. The useful life of the equipment is 10 years ($23,500/$2,350) with an annual depreciation expense of $2,350.
3. The Prepaid Insurance Account will be debited with $840 and credited with $210 ($840/4) representing Insurance that expired during the year for six months. The balance of $630 is carried forward for the remaining one and half years.

The First National Bank recently acquired three mortgages from the failed Fargo Bank. It estimates that the chances of these mortgages being repaid are 0.6, 0.4, 0.25. Assuming independence, fine the probability that:_________.
Answer:
a. 0.06
b. 0.18
Explanation:
a) all of them will be repaid
b) none of them will be repaid
P1 = 0.6, P2= 0.4, P3 = 0.25
a. The Probability that all will be repaid = (P1∩P2∩P3)
= P1 * P2 * P3 (Since independent)
= 0.6*0.4*0.25
= 0.06
Thus, the Probability that all will be repaid is 0.06
b. The Probability that none of them will be repaid = (1-P1)*(1-P2)*(1-P3)
= (1-0.6)(1-0.4)(1-0.75)
= 0.4 * 0.6 * 0.75
= 0.18
Thus, the Probability that none of them will be repaid is 0.18
Price discrimination: Multiple Choice tends to decrease the profits of the competitive firm. is more successful if one consumer can resell the product to another. can benefit consumers with a lower willingness to pay as compared to other consumers in the market. can be a successful strategy for any firm in a competitive market.
Answer:
can benefit consumers with a lower willingness to pay as compared to other consumers in the market.
Explanation:
Price discrimination occurs when a supplier sells a product to different customers at different prices.
The criteria for discrimination can be as a result of income, social class, demographics and so on.
Price discrimination is not a good strategy in a competitive market as consumers will move to other suppliers when the price is not conducive.
However a consumer who is less willing to buy the product can benefit from this because the supplier is open to lowering the price depending on certain criteria
Logano Driving Schoolâs 2017 balance sheet showed net fixed assets of $2.4 million, and the 2018 balance sheet showed net fixed assets of $3.3 million. The companyâs 2018 income statement showed a depreciation expense of $319,000.What was net capital spending for 2018? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
$1,219,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the net capital spending for 2018
Using this formula
2018 Net capital spending=(2018 Net fixed assets-2017 Net fixed assets)+Depreciation expense
Let plug in the formula
2018 Net capital spending=($3,300,000-$2,400,000)+$319,000
2018 Net capital spending=$900,000+$319,000
2018 Net capital spending=$1,219,000
Therefore the 2018 Net capital spending will be $1,219,000
In an effort to avoid recession, the government implements a tax rebate program, effectively cutting taxes for households. We would expect this to:_______. A. affect neither aggregate supply nor aggregate demand. B. increase aggregate demand. C. reduce aggregate demand. D. reduce aggregate supply.
Answer:
B. increase aggregate demand.
Explanation:
A recession can be defined as a period of significant fall in the economic performance such as employment, production, income level, sales of goods and services etc, of a particular country lasting over a few months.
In an effort to avoid recession, the government implements a tax rebate program, effectively cutting taxes for households. Thus, we would expect this to increase aggregate demand.
Aggregate demand (AD) can be defined as the total quantity of output (final goods and services) that is demanded by consumers at all possible price levels in an economy at a particular time.
On a standard Aggregate demand (AD)-Aggregate supply (AS) curve, the y axis denotes the Price (P) of goods and services while the x axis typically denotes the Output (Q) of final goods and services.
In the short-run, a rightward shift in the aggregate supply (AS) curve causes output to increase and result in a price fall (lower price) while a rightward shift in the aggregate demand (AD) curve also cause output to increase and rise in prices.
The short-run nominal fluctuations basically cause a change in the level of production. In the short-run, as a result of a shift in the aggregate supply; an increase in money consequently to result in increase the level of production (output).
Hence, more goods are produced as a result of the increased output (supply) and more goods would be purchased as a result of their lower prices.
