Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": They should be ignored in a bidding war.

Explanation:

Negotiations are vital in every aspect. They allow individuals to deal with situations in which parties need from each other but either of them is willing to take the first step to come to an agreement. Negotiations can also be useful out of problematic situations when parties voluntarily want to make a pact but the initial terms are unclear.

Placing limits for negotiations is important as well. Limits will prevent parties from giving to much of themselves or avoiding the other party to take advantage of a given situation. Thus, in front of war, limits must be placed in a negotiation.

Explanation:

Price is sum of:

1. Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years;

2. Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year based on growth at 5%.

Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years:

PV1 = 3*(1+0.30)*0.8929 = 3.90*0.8929 = $3.482

*0.8929 = 1/1.12

PV2 = 3.90*1.30*0.7972 = 5.07*0.7972 = $4.042

PV3 = 5.07*1.30*0.7118 = 6.591*0.7118 = $4.691

PV4 = 6.591*1.30*0.6355 = 8.5683*0.6355 = $5.445

Total = $17.661

Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year:

Market price of the share at the end = 5th year dividend/(Required rate of return - growth rate)

5th year dividend = $8.5683*(1+growth rate) = $8.5683*(1+0.05) = $9

Market price of the share at the end = $9/(0.12-0.05) = $128.57

Present value of $128.57 is 128.57*0.6355(present value interest factor for year 4) = $81.7

So the price of share is $17.661+$81.7 = $99.37

The average price of homes sold in the U.S. in 2012 was $240,000. A sample of 144 homes sold in Chattanooga in 2012 showed an av

Ainat [17]

Answer:

H0 : Average price of homes sold in US = 24000 ; H1 : Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000

t calculated value = 2 , t critical (tabulated) value = 1.96

calculated t > critical t . Null Hypothesis is rejected, It is concluded that 'Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000 '

Explanation:

Null Hypothesis : Average price of homes sold in US = 24000

Alternate Hypothesis : Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000

t = (x' - u) / (s / √n)

x' = sample mean = 246000 (given)

u = population mean = 240000 (given)

s = standard deviation = 36000

n = no. of observations = 144

t = (246000 - 240000) / (36000/√144)

6000/ (36000/12000) = 6000/3000

t = 2

Critical value for a two tailed test at 5% significance level, 0.025 in t distribution = 1.96

Since calculated value, 2 > tabulated or critical value at significance level, 1.96. So, we reject the null hypothesis. This implies that <u>'Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000</u>'
