Answer: $688.17

Explanation:

He has to pay $60 every month on the first day or a lump sum.

The lump sum will be the present value of monthly payments.

This is a stable Cashflow and so is an Annuity and because it is done on the first day of the month it is an Annuity due.

Calculating present value of annuity due is;

= Annuity + Annuity (( 1 - ( 1 + r) ^ -(n - 1)) / r)

= 60 + 60 (( 1 - ( 1 + 0.833%)-¹¹) / 0.833%) )

=60 + 60* 10.4695

= $688.17

Note: interest rate must be divided into 12 to make it monthly rate.

=10%/12

= 0.833%

mariarad [96]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period  

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

<em>For the standard deviation, we need to use </em><u><em>stdev.s function</em></u><em> in Ms Excel</em>

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.

What reason does Macbeth give for killing King Duncan's guards?
Ber [7]

Answer:

Macbeth claimed that he had found the guards covered in the blood of King Duncan.

Explanation:

He further used this to explain how the sight drove him to a point of extreme grief and being so distraught he was overcome with the need to avenge the murder of his King. Using this false story, Macbeth was successful in diverting any suspicion from him without the need of potential suspects -meaning there would be no one to argue or prove their innocence if whoever was blamed for it was no longer living.

Suppose an economy has a law that requires all wages to be adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the general price level. Thi
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

economic (or business) cycles are less severe.

Explanation:

If the wages follow the general price level, it means that they will follow the inflation rate. When the economy is strong and inflation might rise, then the wages should increase accordingly. When the economy is starting to enter a recession then the inflation rate will reduce, so wages will not increase as much (if any increase at all).

This type of economic policy favors expansion cycles since private consumption is the main component of the GDP and also helps when the economy enters a recession because the wages will follow inflation rate which will help make the recession less severe and hopefully shorter.

One basic concept for this to work is that inflation is always a positive number, countries rarely (if ever) go through deflation processes.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Allocating Joint Costs Using the Net Realizable Value Method

1. Joint Cost

Grades Allocation

L-Ten   $1,850

Triol      6,569

Pioze     3,881

Total $12,300

2. Joint Cost

Grades Allocation

L-Ten   $2,112

Triol      5,756

Pioze    4,432

Total $12,300

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of each production run = $12,300

Product    Gallons  Further Processing     Eventual Market   Net Realizable

                                Cost per Gallon          Price per Gallon         Value

L-Ten          3,200              $0.70                       $2.10                $4,480

Triol            3,700                  1.10                         5.40                 15,910

Pioze         2,000                  1.50                        6.20                  9,400

Total          8,900                                                                      $29,790

Allocation of join cost:

L-Ten = $4,480/$29,790 * $12,300 = $1,850

Triol = $15,910/$29,790 * $12,300 = $6,569

Pioze = $9,400/$29,790 * $12,300 = $3,881

Product    Gallons  Further Processing     Eventual Market   Net Realizable

                                Cost per Gallon          Price per Gallon         Value

L-Ten          3,200              $0.70                       $2.10                $4,480

Triol            3,700                 2.10                         5.40                 12,210

Pioze         2,000                  1.50                        6.20                  9,400

Total          8,900                                                                      $26,090

Allocation of join cost:

L-Ten = $4,480/$26,090 * $12,300 = $2,112

Triol = $12,210/$26,090 * $12,300 = $5,756

Pioze = $9,400/$26,090 * $12,300 = $4,432

Novosadov [1.4K]
The answer is no more than minimal risk and the research activities fall within regulatory categories identified as eligible. In addition, an expedited review procedure contains a review of research connecting human subjects by the Institutional Review Board chairperson or by one or more experienced reviewers chosen by the chairperson from between members of the Institutional Review Board in agreement with the requirements set onwards in 45 CFR 46.110. The expedited review process is conducted at an Institutional Review Board expedited review session. The submission goes through by staff in discussion with the Chair as needed, to govern if an expedited review process may be directed. If the procedure encounters the regulatory standards for an expedited review, it will be sent to the expedited review conference.
