The answer is $2 = 1 British pound.

To calculate the rate of exchange, we will use a proportion method. If 10,000 British pounds is <span>$20,000, then 1 British pound is x dollars:
</span>10,000 British pounds : $20,000 =  1 British pound : x

The cross products are equal:
x * 10,000 British pounds = $20,000 * 1 British pound
x = $20,000 * 1 British pound : 10,000 British pounds
x = $2.

So, the exchange rate is $2 = 1 British pound.

Under its executive stock option plan, National Corporation granted 15 million options on January 1, 2021, that permit executive
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Compensation expense for 2022 and 2023 are $12 million and $16 million respectively.

Explanation:

Total compensation expenses = Number of options × Option fair of value = 15 million × $4 = $60 million

Number of years the option is allowed to be exercised = January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023 = 3 years

Annual compensation expenses = Total compensation expenses ÷ Number of years the option is allowed to be exercised = $60 million ÷ 3 = $20 million

That shows that $20 million is recognized as compensation expenses in 2021.

As there is a 20% forfeiture of the options due to an unexpected turnover, total compensation expenses reduces to:

New total compensation expenses = $60 million × (100% - 20%) = $48 million

Accumulated expenses in 2022 = ($48 million ÷ 3) × 2 = $32 million

Compensation expenses recognized in 2022 = Accumulated expenses in 2022 - Compensation expenses already recognized in 2021 = $32 million - $20 million = $12 million

Compensation expenses recognized in 2023 = $48 million ÷ 3 = $16 million

Therefore, compensation expense for 2022 and 2023 are $12 million and $16 million respectively.

Susie is thinking about changing her auto insurance policy at Fret-No-More Auto Insurance. Her current policy includes the follo
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Changes that would increase Susie’s limits the most without increasing her monthly premium by more than $5.00 is Option C: Increase coverage on bodily injury to $100/300,000 and on property damage to $50,000.

Explanation:

Lower coverage does not necessarily means lower premiums.

Premium is the amount of one makes to keep his insurance policy active. Lower coverage would mean lower premium but that means there would be a few restrictions on the insurance policy while covering that policy.

Full coverage policies of the vehicle not only covers the liabilities but also the damage that occurs to the car.

If Susie increases the 'coverage' on the injury of the body to '$100/300,000' and on property damage to '$50,000', then her monthly premium would not increase from more than $5.00.
