Some states have recently restructured (or are considering restructuring) their electricity industries to allow utilities to purchase wholesale electricity supplies from competitive electric generators in deregulated markets. What do you think has changed that allows state policy makers to consider deregulation?
Answer:
Innovative technologies brought about by competition in the industry that cannot be fostered by state owned electricity corporations or industry
Explanation:
power sector deregulation which allow for private owned power distribution companies are done for the purpose of encouraging competition in the power sector market by eliminating monopoly brought about by state owned power sectors.

gdaniel is working in a job that pays $18,000 per year. He is considering a one-year automobile mechanics course that costs $1,000 for books and tuition. He would stop working for a year while he attends this course. Daniel estimates that this course will increase his income to $23,000 in each of the three years following completion of the course. At the end of those three years, Daniel plans to retire to a commune in Tucson, AZ. The current interest rate is 10 percent. Is it economically rational for Daniel to enroll in the course? Explain and justify your answer.
Answer:
It is not economically rational for Daniel to enroll in the course
Explanation:
Increase in income = $23,000 - $18,000 = $5,000
i = 10% = 0.1
NPV = -(18,000 + 1,000) + 5,000/(1.1)^1 + 5,000/(1.1)^2 + 5,000/(1.1)^3
NPV = -17,000 + (4545.45 + 4132.22 + 3756.74)
NPV = -17,000 + 12,434.41
NPV = -4,565.59
Conclusion: Since NPV is Negative. Therefore, it is not economically rational. So the answer is NO.

The General Fund levies property taxes in the amount of $1,000,000 for calendar year 2019. It expects to collect $950,000 during the year, $30,000 in the first 60 days of the next year, and $15,000 during the rest of the next year. It does not expect to collect the remaining $5,000. How much property tax revenue should it recognize for the year 2019?
Answer:
Under the accrual basis, it should recognize $1,000,000 as property tax revenue for the year 2019. The remaining $45,000 that it does not collect in year 2019 will be accounted for as Property Tax Receivable while the $5,000 will be recorded as Uncollectible Expense in 2019.
Explanation:
The accrual concept or basis of accounting requires that all revenues and expenses relating to a fiscal year be recognized in that accounting year. It is not only the actual cash receipts and payments that should be recognized. This means that any revenue that is due but not yet received will be accounted for in the year that the revenue arises. And all the related expenses for raising the revenue will also be accounted for in the same year.

A manager receives a request from an employee to take off a Wednesday for religious reasons. The manager did not know that this employee was particularly religious and does not believe that the leave is for religious reasons. The manager believes that the employee is going to use this day as a personal day off. Should the manager investigate the situation?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
There is no federal law that requires that a manager give an employee days off due to religious reasons. Therefore in this scenario, the manager should investigate the situation further. If the manager finds out that the employee is taking advantage of the manager's generosity and lying then they should get reprimanded for doing so. Otherwise, the employee can have their day off as they asked.
People take permission to be off duty for different reasons. I do not want the manager to investigate the situation. It is a No for me because I believe that as Human being, we have to respect all the religion.
U.S. law clearly stipulated that that employers should not discriminate on the basis of religion and must accommodate for religious needs of the employees.Forcing employees not to use or take an off days for religious holidays is said to be not advisable.

SDJ, Inc., has net working capital of $2,060, current liabilities of $5,550, and inventory of $1,250. What is the current ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Current ratio times What is the quick ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Quick ratio times
Answer: Current ratio = 1.37
Quick ratio = 1.15
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Current assets is the addition of the net working capital and the current liabilities. This will be:
= $2060 + $5550
= $7610
The Current ratio will be the current assets divided by the current liabilities. This will be:
= $7610/$5550
Current ratio = 1.37
Quick ratio will be the subtraction of invention form the current asset and the result gotten is divided by the current liabilities. This will be:
= ($7610 - $1250)/$5550
= $6360/$5550
= 1.15
A security will make payments of $25 per month for the next 5 years, plus $1000 at maturity. Which of the following is true? Group of answer choices If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the period rate will be more than the nominal rate If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the yield to maturity will increase. If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the effective rate will increase If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the yield to maturity will decrease.
Answer: If the price increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then the yield to maturity will decrease.
Explanation:
If Yields in the market fell, Bonds would still be making the same coupon payments they always have been regardless of this fall. This will lead investors to buy more bonds which will have the effect of raising bond prices.
This therefore shows that Bond prices and Yields are inversely related. If one rises, the other falls. If the price of the security (bond) increases from $1,500 to $1,600 then it follows that the yield to maturity will decrease.
