Answer: c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
Explanation:
Corporations tend to have many shareholders who would get hurt if the company fails and for this reason they are regulated by the law. They must be publicly registered to allow people to purchase and sell shares and they must have the official acknowledgement of the law.
The formation of a corporation can be complicated and require a relatively high number of legal processes and corporations are not regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
Also, even though shareholders are technically entitled to the company's profits, they don't get to collect it immediately because the company needs money to function and grow.

describe five ways in which contract management might adds value after the contract award stage of the sourcing process.
Answer:
The five ways for contract management are:
1 - how buyer and supplier work after contract has been awarded.
2 - Key decisions made.
3 - Risk of misunderstanding and disagreement.
4 - Identify opportunities and improve performance.
5 - Performance evaluation against KPIs.
Explanation:
Contract management is essential for any business to succeed. There are five ways in which contract management will add value after contract award stage. Usually value addition is achieved by the response of buyer and seller towards the services after the contract has been awarded. There should be right individuals involved in decision making process. The performance should be evaluated against the KPI mentioned in the contract. If both supplier and buyer work with mutual understanding there is very less chance for disagreement and value will be added to the contract performance.

A. The cash disbursements amount includes planned disbursements for ending inventory.
B. The cash disbursements does not need to equal changes in finished goods inventory.
C. The cash disbursements amount is no longer based off of the purchasing budget.
D. The cash disbursements amount includes planned disbursements for conversion costs.
Answer: D. The cash disbursements amount includes planned disbursements for conversion costs.
Explanation:
Manufacturing companies have to set aside money for the conversion of raw materials into manufactured goods so there is a cash disbursement for conversion costs.
Merchandising companies on the other hand buy already made goods so they do not have to convert those. There will therefore be no conversion cost in a merchandising company and so no cash disbursement for same.

A 30-year maturity bond with face value of $1,000 makes annual coupon payments and has a coupon rate of 8%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 3 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
a. The yield to maturity is
Given that
FV = $1000,
PV = -$900
PMT = 80 (8% of $1,000)
NPER = 30
The formula is
=RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)
after applying the formula, the rate is 8.97%
b. In the case when the bond is sold at par so this means that yield to maturity is equivalent to the coupon rate i.e. 8%
c. The yield to maturity is
Given that
FV = $1000,
PV = -$1100
PMT = 80 (8% of $1,000)
NPER = 30
The formula is
=RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)
after applying the formula, the rate is 7.18%

Jerry Rice and Grain Stores has $4,320,000 in yearly sales. The firm earns 1.8 percent on each dollar of sales and turns over its assets 3.5 times per year. It has $139,000 in current liabilities and $372,000 in long-term liabilities.
a. What is its return on stockholders’ equity?
b. If the asset base remains the same as computed in part a, but total asset turnover goes up to 4.00, what will be the new return on stockholders’ equity? Assume that the profit margin stays the same as do current and long-term liabilities.
Answer:
a. Return on Stockholders’ Equity = 10.75%
b. New return on stockholders' equity = 12.29%
Explanation:
a. What is its return on stockholders’ equity?
This can be calculated as follows:
Net Income = Sales * Profit Margin = $4,320,000 * 1.8% = $77,760
Total Assets = Sales / Total Assets Turnover = $4,320,000 / 3.50 = $1,234,285.71
Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities + Long term liabilities = $139,000 + $372,000 = $511,000
Total Stockholders’ Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities = $1,234,285.71 - $511,000 = $723,285.71
As a result, we have:
Return on Stockholders’ Equity = (Net Income / Total Stockholders Equity) * 100 = ($77,760 / $723,285.71) * 100 = 10.75%
b. If the asset base remains the same as computed in part a, but total asset turnover goes up to 4.00, what will be the new return on stockholders’ equity? Assume that the profit margin stays the same as do current and long-term liabilities.
This can be calculated as follows:
New Sales = Total Assets * New Assets Turnover Ratio = $1,234,285.71 * 4 = $4,937,142.86
New Net Income = New sales * Profit Margin = $4,937,142.86 * 1.8% = $88,868.57
As a result, we have:
New return on stockholders' equity = (New Net Income / Total Stockholders Equity) * 100 = ($88,868.57 / $723,285.71) * 100 = 12.29%
The income expenditure model predicts that if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and the federal government increases spending by $100 billion, real GDP will increase by:_______
a) $100 billion.

An order for 140 units of Product A has been placed. There are currently 20 units of Product A on hand. Each Product A requires 3 units of Component B. There are 40 units of Component B on hand. What are the net requirements for Component B
Answer:
Order for unit B = 440
Explanation:
Given:
Order for unit A = 140 units
Units A in hand = 20 units
Units B in hand = 40 units
1 unit A required 3 units of B
Find:
Order for unit B
Computation:
Total unit of A = 140 + 20

What is loan?The term loan refers to a type of credit vehicle in which a sum of money is lent to another party in exchange for future repayment of the value or principal amount. In many cases, the lender also adds interest and/or finance charges to the principal value which the borrower must repay in addition to the principal balance. Loans may be for a specific, one-time amount, or they may be available as an open-ended line of credit up to a specified limit. Loans come in many different forms including secured, unsecured, commercial, and personal loans.
A loan is a form of debt incurred by an individual or other entity. The lender—usually a corporation, financial institution, or government—advances a sum of money to the borrower. In return, the borrower agrees to a certain set of terms including any finance charges, interest, repayment date, and other conditions. In some cases, the lender may require collateral to secure the loan and ensure repayment.
What are methods of calculating interest on loan?"The interest rate on loans can be set at simple or compound interest. Simple interest is interest on the principal loan. Banks almost never charge borrowers simple interest. For example, let's say an individual takes out a $300,000 mortgage from the bank, and the loan agreement stipulates that the interest rate on the loan is 15% annually. As a result, the borrower will have to pay the bank a total of $345,000 or $300,000 x 1.15. Compound interest is interest on interest and means more money in interest has to be paid by the borrower. The interest is not only applied to the principal but also the accumulated interest of previous periods. The bank assumes that at the end of the first year, the borrower owes it the principal plus interest for that year. At the end of the second year, the borrower owes it the principal and the interest for the first year plus the interest on interest for the first year."

To decrease the money supply, the Federal Reserve could a. decrease the required reserve ratio. b. conduct an open market purchase of U.S. Treasury securities. c. increase the discount rate. d. forbid the reselling of U.S. Treasury securities.
Answer: c. increase the discount rate.
Explanation:
The discount rate of a country is the rate at which the central bank in that country loans money out to the financial institutions.
When this rate is low, more financial institutions will borrow money as opposed to when it is high. Banks borrowing money increases the money supply in the economy so if the Federal Reserve wants to reduce money supply, it should increase the discount rate which would dissuade banks from borrowing from the Fed thereby limiting money supply.

Sassy, Inc. needs $115 million to build a new distribution center. If it issues common stock to raise the funds, the issuance costs will be 8 percent of the total amount issued. If Sassy can issue stock at $40 per share, how many shares of common stock must be issued so that it has $115 million after flotation costs to use to fund the construction of the distribution center
Answer: 3,125,000 shares.
Explanation:
The number of shares of common stock that must be issued will be calculated as follows:
Let the amount to be raised be represented by x. Therefore,
x - (8% × x) = $115 million
x - (0.08 × x) = $115 million
x - 0.08x = $115 million
0.92x = $115 million
x = $115 million/0.92
x = $125 million
Then the number of shares that'll be issued will be:
= Amount raised / Issue price of stock.
= $125 million / 40
= 3,125,000 shares.

Sunland Clothing Store had a balance in the Accounts Receivable account of $112000 at the beginning of the year and a balance of $88000 at the end of the year. Net credit sales during the year amounted to $3650000. The average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was
Answer:
10 days
Explanation:
Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × Average receivables) / Net sales
Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × $100,000) / $3,650,000
Day's sales in receivables = 10 days
• Note
Average receivables = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2

= $100,000
Therefore, the average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 10days
