Answer:

(a) Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9

(b) The firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds is 1.34

Explanation:

Current assets = $1,750,000

Current liabilities = $700,000

Initial inventory level = $490,000

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities

= $1,750,000 ÷ $700,000 = 2.5

1.9 = (Current assets + \Delta{NP) ÷ (Current liabilities + \Delta{NP)

1.9 = ($1,750,000 + \Delta{NP) ÷ ($700,000 + \Delta{NP)

1.9 × ($700,000 + \Delta{NP) = ($1,750,000 + \Delta{NP)

$1,330,000 + 1.9\Delta{NP = $1,750,000 + \Delta{NP

0.9\Delta{NP =  $1,750,000 - $1,330,000

\Delta{NP = $466,666.67

Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) ÷ Current liabilities

= $937,500 ÷ $700,000

= 1.34

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party

Explanation:

  • Since Company X uses crude oil, the company buys the swap to hedge in the swap market, so option A is not appropriate because it buys the swap, which pays the counterparty when the spot price falls below $ 25.
  • so correct option is c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party

Applegate is in litigation with Magnifium over a contract breach. Applegate has been approached by a former janitor for Magnifiu
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Applegate cannot use the janitor's statement in the trial since the janitor was not directly involved in the work that was being discussed in the meeting. At most, Applegate can try to use some of the information to investigate further about the issue by its own.

Explanation:

The janitor could be considered a hearsay witness, but courts usually limit their testimonies depending on whether its content is admissible or not. The court and Magnifium's lawyers would examine the perception of the witness, his recollection of the events, how he communicated those events to the other party involved in the case, and most importantly the truthfulness of the witness testimony.

The janitor doesn't have a solid position in any of the possible challenges, e.g. he might be mad for being fired and is making up the story, he misinterpreted what he heard because he didn't know what they were talking about, Applegate reached the witness and offered him money to testify, his testimony may have some gray areas or may not be complete. There are simply too many possible objections that can eliminate his testimony and leave Applegate in a worse position.

Mark Johnson saves a fixed percentage of his salary at the end of each year. This year he saved $2,500. For each of the next 5 y
yarga [219]

Answer:

Mark will have at the end of six years the amount of $25,865.74

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

First investment = 2500

Investment increasing at rate of 10%

Interest rate = 13%

t=6 years

Present value is given by formula = C * [((1+g)^n/(1+i)^n) - 1 ] / (g-i)

C is first value = 2,500

g is increase in investment = 0.10

i is intrest rate = 0.13

n is no of years = 6

Putting values into the equation

P = 2500* [((1+ 0.10)^6/(1+0.13)^6) - 1 ] / (0.10-0.13)  1.771561    2.08195

P = 2500* [((1.10)^6/(1.13)^6) - 1 ] / (-0.03)

P = 2500* [0.8509142870866 - 1 ] / (-0.03)

P = 2500* (-0.14908571)/ (-0.03)

P = 2500* 4.9695236

P=$12,423.809

Future value = P*(1+i)^t

= $12,423.809 *(1+0.13)^6

= $25,865.74

Mark will have at the end of six years the amount of $25,865.74
