Answer:

A. Consists of constructing a hierarchy of criteria and subcriteria.

Explanation:

The Analytical Hierarchy process was developed by Thomas Saaty for use by organizations seeking to make very complex decisions. The first step in this approach involves the breakdown of the problem into criteria and sub-criteria. The reason for this breakdown is to ensure a smoother analysis of the problem.

After these alternatives are developed comparisons are made of the different criteria using data obtained from them or human reasoning and perceptions. The next step is the compilation of the numerical probability of the alternatives which is a rigorous process.

Answer:

1. True, 2. True, 3. True, 4. False, 5. False, 6. True, 7. True, 8. True, 9. False, 10. False, 11. False, 12. False

Explanation:

1. The variable manufacturing cost will remain same as cost behavior patterns remain unchanged.

2. Total fixed cost increases as level of production increases.

10000 units: 10050 units

Variable cost= (70x10000) x40%=$280000 (70x10050)x40%=$281400

Fixed Cost-= 700000-280000= $420000 703500-281400=$422100

3. Increase in level of production will cause the total manufacturing cost to increase.

4. At 10000 units, $\frac{420000}{10000}$ = 42/unit

10050 units, $\frac{422100}{10050}$ = $42/unit

5. The total variable manufacturing cost will be greater than last month

At 10000 = (70x10000) x 40% = $280000

At 10050 = (70x10050) x 40% = $281400

6. At 10000 = 70 x 10000 = $700000

At 10050 = 70 x 10050= $703500

7. Cost behavior remain unchanged

70 x 40% = $28

8. Total manufacturing cost = total manufacturing variable + total manufacturing fixed cost

703500 = 281400 - Fixed cost

Fixed cost = $ 422100

9. Total manufacturing cost = 70 x 10050 = $703500

10. $\frac{422100}{10050}$ = $42/ unit

11. Increase in level of production will increase total manufacturing variable cost

(70x10000) x 40% = 280000

(70x10050) x 40% = 2814000

12. Cost behavior pattern unchanged

$\frac{703500}{10050}$ = $70

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

A.On Ex-dividend date: November 20, 2006

B.1%

C.$0.19

D. $1.82

Explanation:

1.On Ex-dividend date: November 20, 2006

will the stock price change to reflect the value of the dividend

b. Calculation for Formaggio’s dividend yield

Using this formula

Dividend yield = dividend/share price

Let plug in the formula

= .20/20 = 1%

c. Calculation of how much the stock price is likely to fall

0.20*(1 – 15%) = P*(1 – 10%)

Solve for P = $0.19

d. Calculation of How much is the stock price likely to fall Suppose that the company decides to issue a 10% stock dividend instead of a cash dividend.

$1,000,000 + (1,000,000 * 10%)

$1,000,00+$100,000

= 1,100,000 total shares

Hence,

$20,000,000 / 1,100,000 = $18.18 per share

$20 – 18.18 = $1.82 fall

Explanation:

We start by first explaining the meaning of the concept anchoring bias. This would help us to pick the best answer for this question.

Anchoring bias can be described as a bias that exists when a person is heavily dependent on the first information they get or are offered. Once the person sets this anchor, all the judgments that they make tends to be anchored around this information.

so from these options in this question , the one that substantiates on what an anchoring bias is option A.

2. United Uninsured Underwriters (U3) needs to raise $192 million. If it issues new common stock to raise the funds, the flotati

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Let x denote the no of shares of common stock to be issued by UUU at a price of $25 per share

Therefore, the total money raised is $24 * x

Given that UUU has to incur flotation cost of 8% plus additional costs of $280,000, the total flotation costs work out to $25 * x * 0.08 + $280,000

Since UUU needs $192 million, calculation of the value of x is as follows:

$25 * x - ($25 * x * 0.08 + $280,000) = $192 million

$25 * (1-0.08) * x = $192 million + $280,000

x = 192.28 million/25 * 0.92

x = 8.36 million

Therefore, UUU has to issue 8,360,000 shares of common stock at $25 to obtain its funding need of $192 million

The flotation costs would be $25 * 8,360,000 * 0.08 + $280,000 = $17 million

Out of the total money raised of 8,360,000 * $25 = $209 million, after deducting the flotation costs of $17 million, UUU will receive $192 million
