Answer:
$360.43
Explanation:
Calculation for how much does a share of preferred stock cost today
First step is for us to calculate the price of the stock in Year 15 which is a year before the first dividend payment.
P15= $27 / .041
P15= $658.54
Last step is to calculate for the price of the stock today
P0= $658.54/ (1+.041)^15
P0= $658.54/ (1.041)^15
P0=$360.43
Therefore the amount that a share of preferred stock cost today will be $360.43

Ebrima Kanteh works as a supervisor for an engineering company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In the UK he had a reputation for speaking his mind and by doing so getting the best out of his staff. At the current project in Riyadh he supervises 12 British staff and nearly 50 Saudi staff. After a few months Ebrima has become increasingly frustrated by what he sees a less than effective Saudi team. Their lack of competence and slow work pace is worrying George. What should he do to try and bring the Saudi staff back into line?
Answer:
He should try to analyze and understand how Saudi workers view the role of a leader and teamwork. Cultural differences between Saudi Arabia and the UK are huge, the only similarity is that both are monarchies, but British monarchy stepped aside and doesn't rule anymore. While Saudi monarchy rules with an iron fist.
Some behavior or actions that are considered completely out of place or might even be illegal in the UK are totally normal in Saudi Arabia, and vice versa. I met someone that used to work in the middle east and he remembers that subordinates have a great respect for their leaders and do not question anything. But at the same time, normal motivation techniques didn't work with them. I remember he told me that in order to be able to make his team work he had to be rude with them and basically order them what to do and make sure they did it. This behavior would be unacceptable in western countries, bosses do not yell at employees all the time, but it worked for him there.
It wasn't the same country, but in order to work properly he had to overcome several cultural barriers and adopt several local customs. By the way, his subordinates were happy with him. No one ever confronted him and told him not to yell at people, since that is normal for them.
Ebrima will need to treat his British subordinates one way, and his Saudi subordinates another way. He should also talk to his fellow British employees and explain them why he is acting that way. If he doesn't, some of them might think he is abusing his authority. When my friend told about his experience I also thought he had become a really bad boss, but them he explained things to me in greater detail.

A perfectly competitive industry in long-run equilibrium comprises 200 identical firms. In one of the firms, the workers unionize and receive a 20% wage increase. What happens to the unionized firm in the short run and the long run
Answer:
Short Run
This is a perfectly competitive industry which means that prices are the same for all the companies. The company that will increase its wages will therefore be unable to increase its prices to match.
This means that a situation might develop where average variable costs will be more than average revenue. At this point the company would have to shutdown operations.
Long Run
If the other companies in the industry have not seen the wages of their workers increase, it would mean that the prices would remain the same as they were which means that the company with the increased wages cannot come back into business and they will exit the market.
If on the other hand, other companies have unionized and improved wages, the market price in the industry will rise and the original unionized company can come back into business as they will now be able to afford to pay their workers.
what are the 4 SOURCES of STRESS an entrepreneur may encounter and 3 ways they can DEAL WITH THIS STRESS.
Explanation:
An entrepreneur can have many challenges especially at the beginning of his journey when opening a new business. One of the main challenges is leading with stress, which can occur for several reasons.
The four main sources of stress in entrepreneurs are: loneliness, the need to anchor results, people and immersion in business people.
Each of these variables can arise from the fact that an entrepreneur can feel overwhelmed and pressured to make the business work, as there is always a capital invested in the business and a positive return on this money is expected to start something new. .
There is also the fact that the entrepreneur can spend a lot of time immersed in business, since he is the main interested in his business, which can cause loneliness and generate more stress. There is also the risk of establishing partnerships and societies with people and conflicts arising due to incompatibility of ideas, anti-ethical actions, etc.
To deal with stress, the entrepreneur must: delegate tasks, be aware of the signs that the body emits from fatigue and stress and balance time for work and social life. Because although the entrepreneur knows that he needs to work and work hard for his business to succeed, it is necessary to manage stress so that it does not hinder his performance, his creativity and capacity for innovation, it is necessary to recognize that we do not have to give at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to mental health so that work can flow effectively.
If income increases by $100 and consumption increases by $75, the slope of the consumption function equals _____.

A coal mine cost $1,004,000 and is estimated to hold 56,000 tons of coal. There is no residual value. During the first year of operations, 7,000 tons are extracted and sold. Calculate depletion expense for the first year.
Answer:
$125,500
Explanation:
The initial cost of coal mine=$1,004,000
Estimated useful life=56,000 tons of coal
tons of coal extracted in the first year=7,000 tons
depletion expense=(cost of coal mine-residual value)*tons of coal extracted in the first year/estimated useful life
residual value =$0
depletion expense=($1,004,000-$0)*7000/56000
depletion expense=$1,004,000*7000/56000
depletion expense for first year=$125,500

If annualized nominal interest rates in the US and Switzerland are 12% and 8% respectively and the 90-day forward [one-year forward] rate for the Swiss franc is $1.0218, at what current spot rate for the Swiss frank will interest rate parity hold?
Answer:
Current spot rate for the Swiss frank will interest rate parity hold is $1.0214
Explanation:
As per given data
Annualized nominal interest rates in the US = 12%
Annualized nominal interest rates in the Switzerland = 8%
90 days forward rate = $1.0218
As we know
According to interest rate parity theory
Forward rate differential = Interest rate differential
( ( F - S ) / S ) x (360/n) = ( ( 1 + ru ) / ( 1 + rs ) ) - 1
Where
F = Forward Rate = $1.0218
S = Spot rate = ?
n = numbers of days = 90 days
ru = Annualized nominal interest rates in the US = 12%
rs = Annualized nominal interest rates in the Switzerland = 8%
Placing the values in the formula
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) x (360/90) = ( ( 1 + 12% ) / ( 1 + 8% ) ) - 1
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) x 4 = ( 1.12 / 1.08% ) - 1
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) x 4 = 0.037037
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) = 0.037037 / 4
( $1.0218 - S ) / S = 0.00925925
$1.0218 - S = S0.00925925
$1.0218 = S0.00925925 + S
$1.0218 = S1.00925925
S = $1.0218 / 1.00925925
S = $1.0214

Mike Inc. makes a lump sum purchase for land and building and pays $300,000. The land has been independently appraised at $105,000 and the building has been appraised at $245,000. What percentage of the purchase price should be allocated to land
Answer: 30%
Explanation:
To solve this question, the first thing that is needed to be done is for us to calculate the total appraisal value. This will be:
= $105,000 + $245,000
= $350,000
The percentage of the purchase price that should be allocated to land will then be:
= 105,000/350,000
= 30%
On January 1, Year 1, Vaughan Company purchased equipment for $276,000. Freight charges amounted to $12,000 and there was a cost of $24,000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 12-year useful life. Depreciation expense each year using the straight-line method will be:_______.a. $19,700.
b. $16,700.
c. $14,300.
d. $14,000.
Answer:
Depreciation expense each year will be $21,000
Explanation:
As the capitalized cost of an asset is the cost incurred to make the asset usable for the operations of the business.
Cost of Asset = Purchase price + Freight charges + Installation cost
Cost of Asset = $276,000 + $12,000 + $24,000
Cost of Asset = $312,000
Now $312,000 is the cost that is used for the depreciation purpose.
First we need to calculate the depreciable value
Depreciable value = Cost of Asset - Salvage value
Depreciable value = $312,000 - $60,000
Depreciable value = $252,000
Now Use follow formula to calculate the straight line depreciation expense for the year
Depreciation for theyear = Depreciable value / Useful life
Depreciation for theyear = $252,000 / 12 years
Depreciation for theyear = $21,000

Which answer choice is not one of the top 10 abusive lending practices?
a credit cards
b. high fees
C. bait & switch
d. balloon loan
Answer:
it's A
Explanation:
credit cards
The practise of applying unfair, dishonest, or abusive loan terms to customers is known as predatory lending. Hence option A is correct .
What is predatory lending ?These loans frequently come with excessive fees and interest rates, drain the borrower's equity, or place a creditworthy borrower in a loan with a worse credit rating (and higher cost), all to the lender's advantage.
Predatory lenders frequently employ pushy sales techniques and prey on the borrowers' ignorance of financial transactions. They lure, encourage, and help a borrower take out a loan they will not reasonably be able to repay through deceptive or dishonest conduct and a lack of transparency.
Any dishonest actions taken by lenders to persuade, induce, deceive, or aid borrowers into taking out loans they are unable to responsibly repay or must pay back are considered predatory lending back at a price that is significantly more than the going rate. Predatory lenders prey on the situation or ignorance of borrowers.
