Answer:

A. brokerage firms are increasingly posing a significant challenge to banks and other deposit-holding institutions by providing high-interest combination savings and checking accounts as well as money market accounts and various loan options.

Explanation:

As reliance on physical currency diminishes, the necessity of using banks has also declined.

Provided that appropriate security protocols are in place, no other institution can offer a safer way to save, transfer, and access your funds.

This positions brokerages as viable contenders against banks in the realm of savings and checking accounts. Given their previous association with investment activities, the funds you deposit into a brokerage can readily be moved to your investment accounts.

Answer:

Total cost = Sum of ordering costs + Sum of holding costs

Total cost = DCo     + QH

                     Q              2

Where

D = Annual demand

Co = Cost of ordering per order

Q = EOQ

H = Cost of holding per item annually

D = 40,000 units

Co = $48

H = 18% x $8.00 = $1.44

EOQ = √(2DCo)/H

EOQ = √(2 x 40,000 x $48)/$1.44

EOQ = 1,633 units

Explanation:

EOQ is derived by multiplying two times the annual demand and ordering cost, which is divided by holding cost per item on an annual basis. The annual holding cost is determined as the product of the holding rate and unit cost.

Answer:

Mike's acknowledged gain from the transfer of the house to him is:

$175,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Marital property = $1,500,000

Cost of property =  $575,000

Residual value =     $925,000

Alimony to Karen = $750,000 ($150,000 * 5)

Balance (Mike's) =  $175,000

The amount of $175,000 signifies the surplus of the fair market value of the marital property after accounting for the property's cost and the alimony paid to Karen.  Thus, Mike recognizes a gain of $175,000 following the property sale.
