A survey of entrepreneurs who started companies last year shows that while virtually all did substantial preparatory research an

d planning, only half used that work to produce a formal business plan. Since, on average, the entrepreneurs without formal plans secured the capital they needed in half the time of those with plans, these survey results indicate that, in general, formal plans did not help the entrepreneurs who produced them to secure the capital they needed. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? (A) Companies started by entrepreneurs who had used formal business plans to attract investment were on the whole as profitable in their first year as were companies started by entrepreneurs who had not produced such plans. (B) In surveys of entrepreneurs who have attempted without success to raise sufficient capital, more than half of the respondents indicate that they have produced a formal business plan. (C) Among the entrepreneurs surveyed, those who did not produce formal business plans sought and received a much larger proportion of their capital from investors with whom they had a long-standing business relationship. (D) The entrepreneurs surveyed who did not produce a formal business plan spent nearly as much time doing preparatory research and planning as the entrepreneurs who produced plans. (E) The entrepreneurs who produced business plans generally reported later that the process of writing the plan had increased their confidence that their company would succeed.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The value of the Share of Zeke after the new Expansion is $25.

Explanation:

As there was no growth in the dividend before change, Price of the share from a stable dividend payment can be calculated by following formula.

Price  = Dividend / Required rate of return

As we have the share price and the dividend amount we need to calculate the required rate of return.

Required rate of return = Dividend / Price

Placing value in the formula

Required rate of return = $2.50 / $25.00 = 0.1 = 10%

After New Expansion

Dividend = $1.50

Growth rate = 4%

The share price can be calculated by the dividend growth formula, as follow

Price of share = Dividend / (Rate of return - growth rate)

Price of share = $1.50 / (10% - 4%)

Price of share = $1.50 / 6%

Price of share = $25

Andru [333]

If a company has advance ticket sales totaling 2,000,000 for the uncomping football season. the receipt of cash would be journalized as  Debit Cash, credit Unearned Revenue.

A receipt is documentation that something was purchased and paid for. If you plan to return something you purchased, you usually need it. On business trips, people keep track of their receipts so that their employers can reimburse them for any expenses they incurred. A less common usage of the word receipt is as a verb, as in "The clerk receipted my purchases," which means that the clerk provided written evidence that the things were paid for. Receipts are given out in business-to-business transactions as well as stock market transactions, in addition to the receipts that customers normally obtain from vendors and service providers. Both transactions on the stock market and business-to-business exchanges issue receipts. Furthermore, receipts are required as verification of some expenses for tax purposes.

A single-channel queuing system has an average service time of 10 minutes and an average time between customer arrivals of 15 mi
amm1812

Answer: (a ) 4 per hour (b ) 4.5 minutes (c ) 3 minutes

Explanation:

Average time between customer arrival = 15 minutes

Average service time = 10 minutes

(a) To calculate the customer arrival rate

Arrival rate = 1 / time between Arrival

= 1 / 15

= 0.066 × 60

= 4 per hour

(b) To calculate the average number of customers in queue

( Arrival time )^2 / service time ( service time - Arrival time)

= (15)^2 / 10 ( 10 - 15)

= 225 / 10 (-5)

= 225 / 50

= 4.5 minutes

(c) To calculate the average time customers spend in the system

Arrival time / service time - Arrival time

= 15 / 10 - 15

= 15/ -5

= 3 minutes
