Based on the cost of the computer in terms of electricity, and the amount he paid for it, the percentage of the cost that the electricity made up is 54.898%.

<h3>What percentage of the cost did the electricity use?</h3>

First find the amount that Seth paid over the two and half years:

= Monthly payment x 2.5 years x 12 months a year

= 55.32 x 2.5 x 12

= $1,659.60

The cost of the computer over 7 years is:

= (0.79 per day x 365 x 7)

= $2,018.45

The percentage that electricity takes is:

= 2,018.45 / (2,018.45 + 1,659.60)

= 54.88%

Answer:

Advantage in competition. ( competitive advantage)

Explanation: Whenever a hospital is more equipped or fully equipped with tools, machines, and any other factor that favors the saving of lives, that hospital will mostly have the upper hand in competition against it's rivals. It is safe to say a heart patient who is facing a life threatening situation would rather be taken to such a hospital for quick response to save their lives. A hospital less equipped with these kind of machines , especially those needed in critical moments like defibrillating someone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, will less likely be a first choice to treating patients of these nature. In critical moments like these a hospital better equipped will always be the first choice, disregarding other factors like cost. Now distance could be critical, but again, almost always if the distance is not too long then the better equipped gets the patients.

Answer:

A. Assuming that employees would understand the content of the PowerPoint slides

Explanation:

One of the most common mistakes that can be made is assuming that the receiver on the other end of the communication chain would understand quite well, what message, you as the sender, is passing across.

In the scenario cited in the question above, the new benefit offerings that have been developed after the overhauling, of which Mike has taken his time to explain in a power point presentation just few months before employees would be required to enroll for the program, must have been misunderstand by the employees.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

b.

The cost of equity is 11.20% if beta is 0.9

c.

The cost of equity is 12.40% if beta is 1.05

d.

The cost of equity is 13.60% if beta is 1.2

Explanation:

The SML approach is used to calculate the required rate or return (r) which is the minimum return that the investors require to invest in a company's stock. This is also referred to as the cost of equity. The formula for required rate of return under SML is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on Market

a.

r = 0.04 + 0.75 * (0.12 - 0.04)

r = 0.10 or 10%

b.

r = 0.04 + 0.9 * (0.12 - 0.04)

r = 0.112 or 11.20%

c.

r = 0.04 + 1.05 * (0.12 - 0.04)

r = 0.124 or 12.40%

d.

r = 0.04 + 1.2 * (0.12 - 0.04)

r = 0.136 or 13.60%
