Answer

Discrimination or inequality is no justice against different categories of people.This normally occurs based on the grounds of age, sex or gender and the age or even based on the religious beliefs.

Explanation

When there is discrimination based on the above mentioned grounds that is racial among others which is treating people differently and some are treated well and others worse can easily weaken the economy. This will happen because some groups will feel that they dont fit in the community and due to unfair treatment they will not be in a position to interact with others. This will ruin the trade between different groups. They will also not be able to work with full potential in their working areas which will make their company s to less income.

Well, if people are discriminated against and feel they are not equal to some other classes in their own society, they obviously will not be happy which will have an impact on their jobs and careers. If they are not happy, they will not give their full potential at their jobs, which will ultimately lead to less and less income for the company.
That's what I think, at least. :)

On January 1, 2016, Brian's stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 2016, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, an

defon

Answer:

1.93%

Explanation:

The time weighted rate of return will be computed by combining the return at every time period demarcated by a withdrawal/addition.

Time 1: Jan 1, 2016 to Sep 30, 2016

start value = 100,000; end value = (105,000+5,000) = 110,000

Return = $\frac{110,000}{100,000}=1.1$

Time 2: Sep 30, 2016 to Sep 30, 2017

start value = 105,000; end value = 108,000

Return = $\frac{108,000}{105,000}=1.028571$

Time 3: Sep 30, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017

start value = (108,000 + 3,000) = 111,000; end value = 100,000

Return = $\frac{100,000}{111,000}=0.900901$ .

Therefore, time weighted return

= (1.1 * 1.028571 * 0.900901) - 1

= 0.019305

= 1.93%.

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c

Using the CAPM , the expected return on a asset is given as follows:

E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)

E(r) =? , Rf- 6%, Rm- 14%, β- 1.2

E(r) = 6% + 1.2× (14- 6)%

= 6% + 9.6%

= 15.6%

Avicorp has a $ 12.9 million debt issue outstanding, with a 5.9 % coupon rate. The debt has semi-annual coupons, the next coup

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Pre-tax Cost Of Debt = 7.64%

Tax Rate = 40%

Post Tax cost of debt = 7.33% * (1 - 40%) = 4.58%

So Post Tax cost of Debt = 4.58%

Explanation:

Bond Par Value = 12,900,000

Bond Market Price 93% of face value = 11,997,000

Years To maturity = 5.00

Annual Interest 5.9% = 761,100

Formula = [Annual Interest + (Par Value-Market Value) / Years to Maturity] / [(Par value+Market Price*2)/3]

Year To Maturity = [761100 + (12900000 - 11997000) / 5] / (12900000 + 2*11997000) / 3

Year to maturity = 7.33%
