Answer:

Legitimate promissory notes are marketed to sophisticated, corporate investors that have the ability to thoroughly research the company issuing the notes and determine whether the issuer will be able to repay principal and interest.   There have been many instances of "promissory note fraud" where unlicensed individuals push bogus promissory notes that are sold as investments that offer above-market fixed interest rates and safeguarding of principal - and most of there are frauds.  This is a major concern to state regulators.

To offer a promissory note, both the salesperson and the note must be registered in the state.  Only promisory notes that have maturities of 9 months or less, that are investment grade, and are sold in minimum increments of $50,000 are exempt from registration.  

Finally, the tell-tale sign of fraud are:

Statements that tho notes are "guaranteed" or insured, especially by bogus foreign entities.

Promises of above-market rates fo return

Statements that the notes are "risk"free"

The labeling of a star-up company´s notes as prime

Offers of promissory notes from a stanger who does not know the costumer financial situation

Soundgarden Company sold 200 color laser copiers on July 10, 2020, for $4,000 apiece, together with a 1-year warranty. Maintenan
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Soundgarden Company

Journal Entries:

July 10, 2020:

Debit Cash Account (or Accounts Receivable) $800,000

Credit Sales Revenue $800,000

To record the sale of 200 copiers at $4,000 apiece.

July 10, 2020:

Debit Warranty Expense $66,000

Credit Warranty Liability $66,000

To record the estimated warranty maintenance on copiers sold.

December 31:

Debit Warranty Liability $17,000

Credit Inventory $17,000

To record actual warranty costs incurred.

Explanation:

Soundgarden should record these transactions according to the matching principle, whereby warranty expense is recognized in the period that matches the sale so that all expenses related to sales are recognized when the sales are recognized.  This is achieved by creating a warranty liability account after the sales and recording a warranty expense as the debit entry.  When actual warranty costs are incurred, the Soundgarden Company will debit the warranty liability and credit the inventory actual for the actual costs.

Otis, the manager of a camera store, believes that his store may be closed by corporate in the near future, so he cannot sleep w
Wewaii [24]

Answer: His district manager may be influenced by <u><em>availability bias. </em></u>

Explanation:

Availability bias may influence his manager because the district manager has this information in his recent memory. He may consider this to be an accurate description of Otis's behavior all of the time, and not just in recent times. Since everything has occurred since the last evaluation he may be judged solely on these actions and not of his overall actions and work ethic in the past.

There are several ways to avoid availability bias such as:

  • Set high standards
  • Build a diverse team
  • Utilize your network
  • Seek input from your team

When using the gzip utility, the option is also known as best compression and results in higher compression ratio?
Liula [17]
When it comes to using gzip, the vital thing that you need to remember is that this tool helps you in making your files smaller by compressing them. File types vary in how well they get compressed.

That's why there are recommendations given as to the best compression option for you to take. Though, it's not a must that that's the one you choose. In fact, you can run a simple gzip command to either get the minimum compression or get the maximum by varying the speed that it's run to compress the file.

Hilltop Paving has a levered equity cost of capital of 14.92 percent. The debt-to-value ratio is 0.4, the tax rate is 34 percent
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

c. 12.56%

Explanation:

Debt-to-value=D/(D+E) =0.4=> D=0.4D + 0.4E => 0.6D = 0.4E => D/E=4/6=2/3

According to M&M proposition II with taxes,

re=r0+(D/E)(r0-rd)(1-Tax rate) . Where re= levered cost of equity(or cost of equity when the firm is levered)=.1492, r0 = unlevered cost of equity,Tax rate=34%=.34, rd=pretax cost of debt=7.2%=0.072,D/E=2/3

re = r0+(2/3) * (r0 - 0.072)*(1-.34)

=> 0.1492=r0(1+(2/3)*(1-.34)) -(2/3)*(.072)*(1-.34)

=> 0.1492 = r0(1+0.44) -0.03168

=> 0.1492 = 1.44*r0 -0.03168

r0 = (.1492+0.03168)/1.44

r0 =0.1256

r0 =12.56%

Thus, r0=unlevered cost of equity=12.56%
