Answer:
B) Is not a contract because there is no consideration for B's promise.
Explanation:
In contract law, consideration is the benefit that must be bargained for between the parties involved. It is the essential reason for the parties entering a contact. Consideration must have some value and is exchanged on the performance or promise from the other party.
Common law rules on contract modifications require some new consideration in order to modify an existing contract. In this case, only B added some new consideration (more money) to the written contract, A didn't add anything new.
Answer:
The correct answer is have a low value-to-weight ratio.
Explanation:
Products that have low weight-value ratios (for example, coal, iron ore, bauxite and sand) also have low storage costs but high movement costs as a percentage of their sales price. Inventory management costs are calculated as a ration of the value of the product. Low product value means low storage cost, since inventory management costs are the dominant factor in storage cost. When the value of the product is low, transport costs represent a high proportion of the sale price.
Consequently, companies that deal with products of low value for weight frequently try to negotiate more favorable transport rates; rates are generally lower for raw materials than for finished products of the same weight.
Answer:
$0.013
0.010724
Explanation:
Given that :
Mean, m = 36500
Standard deviation, s = 5000
Refund of $1 per 100 mile short of 30,000 miles
A.) Expected cost of the promotion :
P(X < 30,000)
Using the Zscore relation :
Zscore = (x - m) / s
Zscore = (30000 - 36500) / 5000
= - 6500 / 5000
= - 1.3
100 miles = $1
1.3 / 100 = $0.013
b. What is the probability that Grear will refund more than $50 for a tire?
100 miles = $1
$50 = (100 * 50) = 5000 miles
Hence, more than $50 means x < (30000 - 5000) = x < 25000 miles
P(x < 25000) :
(25000 - 36500) / 5000
-11500 / 5000
= - 2.3
P(z < - 2.3) = 0.010724 (Z probability calculator)
Dividends that were paid last year = $200
Retained earnings = $522
Net Income = Retained earnings + Dividends paid = 200+522 =722
Tax rate was 38%.
Earnings before tax (EBT) = Net income/ (1-tax rate) =722/(1-0.38) = 1,164.52
Interest expense= 624
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = EBT + interest expense = 1,164.52 + 624 = 1,788.52
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = 1,788.52
