Answer:

Higher than 0.5%

Explanation:

Since the rate of return is calculated as dividend payment/stock price + dividend growth rate and since that growth rate for the next five years will be 0.5 %, than rate of return will be higher than 0.5 %.

A freelance writer must choose how to spend her time working on several different types of projects. Newspaper stories take 3 ho
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

3N + 25M + P ≤ 45

Explanation:

Let the number of Newspaper Stories taken=N

Newspaper stories take 3 hours to write.

Total Hour spent on Newspaper Stories=3N

Let the number of Magazine Articles taken =M

Magazine articles take much longer to write 25 hours per article.

Total Hour spent in Magazine Articles=25M

Let the number of Proofreading jobs taken =P

Proofreading pays for every 1 hour

Total Hour spent in Proofreading jobs=P

Since both newspaper stories and magazine articles must be completed in the week they are started.

The writer doesn't want to work more than 45 hours per week. So his total hour in a week is less than or equal to 45.

The Constraint that limits the amount of time the writer will work in a week is given as:

3N + 25M + P ≤ 45

Reading through a credit card disclosure (aka the Schumer Box), you see the A.P.R. for a specific card is set at 9.99% - 23.99%.
Leviafan [203]

If the A.P.R. for a specific card is set at 9.99% - 23.99%, it shows the range of the A.P.R bank is offering for the card. It means the A.P.R. can be any % between 9.99% and 23.99%. The A.P.R. is decided on the basis for the credibility of the borrower. The credit score of the borrower is the factor to determine the credibility of the borrower. Hence the A.P.R of the card is determined on the basis of the credit score of the borrower.

Hence, the correct answer is:

b. One of the primary factors determining your card's A.P.R. is your credit score

Crystal Apple Sales Company began 2014 with cash of $2,000, inventory of $3,600 (200 crystal apples that cost $18 each), $2,500
Andru [333]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of ending inventory and cost of goods sold using the three different cost flow assumptions: FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average is shown below:-

Cost of goods sold = (200 × $18) + (800 × $20) + (1,040 × (2,040-200-800)

= (200 × $18) + (800 × $20) + (1,040 × $24)

= $3,600 + $16,000 + $24,960

= $44,560

Ending Inventory Under FIFO = (1,200 - 1,040) × (2,040-200-800)

= 160 × $24

= $3,840

Under LIFO method

Cost of goods sold is

= (1,200 × $24) + (800 × $20) + (40 × $18)

= $28,800 + $16,000 + $720

= $45,520

Ending Inventory Under LIFO is

= (200 - 40) × $18

= 160 × $18

= $2,880

Weighted Average cost flow Assumption

Weighted Average cost per apple = Cost of Beginning inventory and purchase ÷ Total apple available

Cost of Beginning inventory and purchases is

= (200 × $18) + (800 × $20) + (1,200 × $24)

= $3,600 + $16,000 + $28,800

= $48,400

Total apples available is

= 200 + 800 + 1,200

= 2,200  

Weighted Average cost per apple is

= $48,400 ÷ 2,200

= $22

Cost of goods sold is  

= 2,040 × $22

= $44,880

Ending Inventory is

= 160 × $22

= $3,520

b. The Preparation of income statement, a balance sheet, and a statement of cash flows under each of the three cost flow assumptions is prepared below:-

Income Statement                       Amount

Sales (2,040 × $40)                     $81,600

Less: Cost of goods sold            ($44,560)

Gross Profit                                  $37,040

The value of an investment comes from its cash flows.​ Let's say you are intent on receiving​ $45,000 per​ year, starting at the
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Interest rate of 11.84% is required to earn desired amount of $45,000 per year from an Investment of $380,000.

Explanation:

Amount of Investment = P = $380,000

Desired Return per month = A = $45,000

Number of Years = n = 10 years

Interest rate = ?

Use following formula to calculate Interest rate:

A = P x Interest rate

$45,000 = $380,000 x r

r = $45,000 / $380,000

r = 0.1184 = 11.84%
