A company delivers packages by truck and would like to minimize the length of the route that each driver must travel in order to

reach n delivery locations. The company is considering two different algorithms for determining delivery routes.
Algorithm I Generate all possible routes, compute their lengths, and then select the shortest possible route. This algorithm does not run in reasonable time.
Algorithm II Starting from an arbitrary delivery location, find the nearest visited delivery location. Continue creating the route by selecting the nearest unvisited location until all locations have been visited. This algorithm does not guarantee the shortest possible route and runs in time proportional to n2.
Which of the following best categorizes algorithm II?
A. Algorithm II attempts to use an algorithmic approach to solve an otherwise undecidable problem.
B. Algorithm II uses a heuristic approach to provide an approximate solution in reasonable time.
C. Algorithm II provides no improvement over Algorithm I because neither algorithm runs in reasonable time.
D. Algorithm II requires a much faster computer in order to provide an improvement over Algorithm I.

Indigo Ink Supply paid a dividend of $5 last year on its common stock. It is expected that this dividend will grow at a rate of
pychu [463]

Answer:

a.

1st $5.43

2nd $5.89

3rd $6.39

4th $6.93

5th $7.52

6th $7.81

b.

$75.85

Explanation:

Dividend is the payment to the stockholders out of earning of the company. Companies have a dividend policy which determine the future dividend payments.

Dividend of each year can be calculated by using the growth rate as a discount in the compounding formula.

Dividend Payment

First year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^1 = $5.43

Second year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^2 = $5.89

Third year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^3 = $6.39

Fourth year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^4 = $6.93

Fifth year =$5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^5 = $7.52

Sixth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 3.8% )^1 = $7.81

b.

Intrinsic value of the stock is the present value of all the associated dividends

We need to calculate the present value of all the dividend payment.

First year = $5.43 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-1 =  $4.87

Second year = $5.89 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-2 = $4.74

Third year = $6.39 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-3 = $4.61

Fourth year = $6.93 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-4 = $4.48

Fifth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-5 = $4.36

After fifth year the dividend will be discounted as follow

PV of dividend after fifth year = [ $7.81 / (11.5% - 3.8%) ] x [ (1+11.5%)^-6 ] = $52.79

Intrinsic Value of Stock = Sum of PV of all dividends = $4.87 + $4.74 + $4.61 + $4.48 + $4.36 + $52.79 = $75.85

What should recreational boaters keep in mind if traveling in waters where there are anglers and hunters?

Recreational boaters travelling on such water should give a wide berth and keep away from the water areas where the hunters are carrying out their activities; the boaters should be safety conscious and alert. This is necessary in order to avoid accident.

On August 1, 2021, Rocket Retailers adopted a plan to discontinue its catalog sales division, which qualifies as a separate comp
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$(123,000) + $(29,000)= $(152,000)

Explanation:

Discontinued operations are those operations of segment of a company where a formal plan exists to eliminate it from the company.

The revenues, gains, expenses, and losses pertaining to the discounting business segment are removed from the company's continuing operations and are reported separately on the company's income statement.

Hence, operating loss of $ 123,000 and impairment loss of $ 29,000 will separately be reported on income statement of the company.

Future estimated operating losses do not become part of the income statement.
