Answer:

When businesses are deciding how to develop their products and services, they undertake market research. Market research can either be done by the company itself or taken from elsewhere. Having reliable market research data is essential. Basing decisions on unreliable research can be very costly to a business. For research to be reliable, it must have a high level of validity. This means that the facts and evidence gathered are accurate.

Two reasons why market research should be accurate:

Business Risks: Regular market research will be your way to check in with your current customers and potential customers to ensure that you’re still meeting their needs. If it is accurate business risks are reduced but if inaccurate, it could lead to the crash of your business.

Decision-making: The need for and importance of marketing research frequently comes up when making tough business decisions. Instead of having arbitrary criteria for the decisions you make as a business owner, you can always go back to your market research report. Based on that report, will this decision lead to more customers? Will you be able to reach more people who are likely to buy from you? Will it be clear to them that your business can meet their needs? With an accurate market research, the business can make properly informed decisions but with inaccurate market research, the business will be making unwise decisions

You are considering buying a company using leveraged buyout. The company is projected to have sales of 500 million each year in

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Net income= $33 million

Explanation:

A leveraged buyout is a buyout of an entity by it's own managers/board members mostly through debt financing. Now the expected sales after the buyout is 500 million, we are asked to calculate net income only in the first year. First of all lets see what net income is. Net income is the remaining amount of income after having paid all the expenses which is mostly the residual income available for either distribution to shareholders or transfer to retained earnings.

The formula for net income is as follows:

Net income/profit= Sales revenue - COGS - Administrative expenses- depreciation and amortization - Interest expense - Tax

Let first calculate COGS & other administrative expense, depreciation and interest expenses first.

COGS & ADMIN: 500*0.6=300 m

Depreciation: 500*0.05 =25m

Interest expense for the year: 1500 * 0.08= 120m

Now lets substitute values in the formula mentioned above:

Income before taxes: 500m - 300m - 25m - 120m

Income before taxes: 55m

Income after taxes; 55m - 22m (taxes= 55*40%)

Net income= $33 million

Normal 0.25 0.55 0.1375 0.0625 0. 0021484375

Boom 0.48 0.25 0.12 0.2925 0.021389062

ER 0.1875 Variance 0.08131875

Expected return of stock A = 0.1115 = 11.15%

Expected return of stock B = 0.1875 = 18.75%

b. Standard deviation of stock A = √0.00644275 = 0.0802

Standard deviation of stock B = √0.08131875= 0.2852

Explanation:

In the first case, there is need to calculate the expected return of each stock by multiplying the return by probability.

In the second case, we need to obtain the variance. The square root of variance gives the standard deviation. Variance is calculated by deducting the expected return from the actual return, then, raised the difference by power 2 multiplied by probability.

vodomira [7]

Answer: consumption= 2500, imports = 1500, exports = 1000, net exports= -500, GDP = 2000 , investment =0, government purchases =0

Explanation:

this question is incomplete. in complete question we have to calculate consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), imports (M), exports (X), net exports (NX) and gross domestic product (GDP) using the given information and abbreviation.

1. Antonio order will be considered as imports which are 50*30=1500

2. exports by US company spark plug selling to Korean are considered as X which are 200*5= 1000

3. net exports = exports - imports

NX = X - M ,

-500 = 1000-1500

in a nutshell, the economy is in deficit of 500

total C is 1500+ 1000=2500

GDP = C+ I + G + NX

GDP =2500 +0+0+ (-500)

GDP =2000

GDP is the value of final good and services which are produced within the boundary of an economy .

this question is about open economy because it includes exports and imports . this freely trade between different countries is considered as open economy .

no information is given for investment (I), government purchases (G) so these will be taken as 0
