Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. During 2003, an auction

house sold a sculpture at auction for a price of $10,361,500. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 2000 at a price of $12,477,500. What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture?

Answer:

-0.06 or -6%

Explanation:

The duration 't' of his investment is determined by subtracting the selling year by the purchasing year:

t = 2003-200 = 3\ years

The future value ($10,361,500) of this original investment ($12,700,500) at a rate 'r' for a period of 3 years is given by:

10,361,500=12,477,500*(1+r)^3\\r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{10,361,500}{12,477,500}} -1\\r=-0.06

His annual rate of return was -0.06 or -6%.

*Since he had a negative rate of return, the previous owner lost money in this investment

Memorial Hospital CEO conducts performance reviews of the hospital's departments and discovered that the average cost of deliver
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Memorial Hospital

From the information on how much the hospital is losing on deliveries, the change in profit for each extra delivery is:

= 16.3%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average cost of deliveries = $5,000

Average revenue per delivery = $4,300 ($5,000 - $700)

Loss on each delivery = $700

The change in profit for each extra delivery is

= 16.3% ($700/$4,300 * 100)

b) The implication of the above information is that the hospital is losing 16.3% each time it performs a delivery because it cost it $5,000 while it can only receive $4,300 from each patient delivered.

_____ uses an iterative process that repeats the design, development, and testing steps as needed, based on feedback from users.
Alecsey [184]

Answer: Rapid Application Development (RAD)

Explanation:

Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a method of developing software that tries more to develop a working model first and then adjusts as it receives feedback from users. It essentially is evolving every time because instead of planning for what is needed ahead of time, it simply makes a product and changes it as needed to fit the actual needs of the customers.

Competition in the craft Brewing Industry in 20171. Identify the strategic issues facing craft beer brewers in 2017. What effect
Cloud [144]

Answer:

1. Threat of new entrants to the industry and the power of suppliers are the strategic issues facing craft brewers in 2017. The threat of entry has a great effect on a companies willingness to expand its product base in fear that a new entrant will either mimic or produce a substitute for their product.

2. I would recommend that small breweries need to get out there and get their product in the minds of more customers, use social media to target their audiences and consumers. They should also invest in equipment that will reduce labor costs in the long run. Risk of supply availability can be mitigated by using multiple suppliers or becoming your own suppliers and also selling to other breweries, making another source of income.

Suppose the demand function (D) for golf clubs is: Q = 240-1.00P, where P is the price paid by consumers in dollars per club and
bogdanovich [222]

Solution :

According to the theory of demand and supply, the equilibrium price and the quantity is established where both the demand and supply curves intersect.

From the graph, we can see that the point of equilibrium is at the intersection of D and S.

At this point, mathematically, D = S. In order to determine the price and quantity which exists at this point, we need to equate the demand as well as supply functions to calculate the equilibrium values.

∵ D is equal to S, we have

$240-1.00P=1.00P$

240=2P

120=P

Now substituting this value of the equilibrium price in to any of the functions, we get the equilibrium quantity at this price.

$Q=240-1.00P$

$Q=240-1.00(120)$

$Q=240-120$

$Q=120$

This is the equilibrium quantity. At this point, equilibrium price as well as the quantity is the same. Let the price of the golf club increases from $120 to $140. So substituting the value to the function above to determine the new quantity.

$Q = 240-1.00(140)$

   = 100

Therefore, when the demanded quantity decreases from 120 thousand clubs to 100 thousand clubs. This increases the price and decreases the quantity as the supply curve moved to the left. The demand remains constant.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

b. $400,000

Explanation:

According to the historical cost principle, the land or fixed assets should be reported in the financial statement with the purchase price or historical price.

In the given situation, the land receiving value is $400,000 and its fair market value or FMV is $500,000 and exchange value is $300,000

So, here the land should be recorded at $400,000. Hence, we ignored the fair market value and the exchanged value
