Based on the given states, their probability of occurrence, and the investment returns, the expected return would be 8.72%.

<h3>What is the expected return for this investment?</h3>

This can be found by the formula:

= ∑ (Probability of occurrence x Investment returns if state occurs)

Solving gives:

= (18% x 20%) + (42% x 16%) + (30% x 3%) + (10% x -25%)

= 3.60 + 6.72 + 0.90 - 2.50

= 8.72%

Question:

Find the expected value of the investment.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Calculating the cost of each activity,

Unloading = $ 80,100

Counting = $ 37,500

Inspecting = $54,450

Explanation:

Given:

Unloading lease = $15,000 per year

Fuel for the forklift = $3,600 per year

Maintenance for the forklift = $1,500 per year

Inspection uses some special testing equipment that has depreciation of $1,200 per year

Operating cost = $750.

Receiving employees average salary = $50,000 per year

Salaries; 3 × 50,000 = 150,000

Unloading salary = 40%  × 150,000 = 60,000

Counting salary = 25%  × 150,000 = 37,500

Inspecting salary = 35% × 150,000 = 52,500

                              Unloading                 Counting                    Inspection

In year T, a US citizen buys 100 shares of Sonic on the Tokyo stock exchange at 700 yens each. Suppose the exchange rate then is
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Change in US external wealth between periods T and T +1 in dollars = -$100

Explanation:

Since nothing else changes, this implies that the exchange rate per yen is $0.01 in periods T and T +1. Therefore, we have:

Value shares of Sonic in period T in dollar = Number of shares of Sonic bought in period T * Price per share of Sonic in Yen in period T * Exchange rate per yen in periods T = 100 * 700 * $0.01 = $700

Value shares of Sonic in period T+1 in dollar = Number of shares of Sonic in period T+1 * Price per share of Sonic in Yen in period T+1 * Exchange rate per yen in period T+1 = 100 * 600 * $0.01 = $600

Change in US external wealth between periods T and T +1 in dollars = Value shares of Sonic in period T+1 in dollar - Value shares of Sonic in period T in dollar = $600 - $700 = -$100

Simora [160]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Involve farming out value chain activities presently performed in-house to outside specialists and strategic allies.

Explanation:

Outsourcing refers to a practice that companies engage in to take their operations abroad to lower production costs and avoid being subject to stiff regulations that might harm their profits. <em>Under this approach, firms value chain activities handled in their original country are taken to countries where the manufacturing and labor costs are much lower with and relatively similar qualified workforce and suppliers.</em>  

Outsourcing might harm the employment rate in the domestic country of the company handling operations abroad but could benefit the outsourced nation by introducing job opportunities where there may not even be basic labor conditions.
