Tangshan Mining​ Company, with a cost of capital of 10​ percent, is considering investing in project​ A, with an initial investm
alexdok [17]

Answer:

the breakeven cash inflow for the project is $131474

Explanation:

given data

cost of capital = 10​ percent

initial investment =​ $1,000,000

useful life = 15 year

to find out

the breakeven cash inflow for the project

solution

first we consider here annual cash inflows that is =  x

now break even point is the one at which the net present value of the project  =  0

so we can say that here  

Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows = 0   .................1

here we know Present value of cash inflows = x  × PVAF ( 10%,15 years)

Present value of cash inflows = x  ×  7.6060

put value in equation 1 we get

x  ×  7.6060 - $1,000,000  = 0

solve and we get x

x = \frac{1,000,000}{7.6060}

x = $131474

so the breakeven cash inflow for the project is $131474

Which estimating technique uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other proj
VashaNatasha [74]

Parametric estimation is a  techniques that uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other project parameters

Parametric estimation is a quantitative method (statisitical relationship) used to estimate the project cost, resources, and duration based on historical data and other project parameters.

Parametric estimation models are used when:

  1. There is precedent
  2. The model is a unit hence can be scaled up
  3. The parameters required are easily quantifiable

While the other options of this question is incorrect because:

b. grass roots estimating

Cost estimation done by the individuals who will be performing the task being estimated.

c. empirical estimating

Estimation method in which the data is obtained using empirical formulas. It is usually based on an amalgamation of historical data, assumptions, guesses, and personal experience.  

d. analogous estimating

Also called top-down estimating, this is a technique that involves comparing previous projects, personal experiences and cursory cross-referencing observed costs to estimate time resources required. This technique is most useful in the absence of quantifiable data.

Suppose that the market equilibrium price for a basic medical check-up is $50, in a market in which there is no health insurance
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The number of check-ups in this market would decrease.

Explanation:

This is an example of price ceiling.  

Price ceiling refers to a legal maximum price that is set by the government for a commodity to be sold.

Price ceiling set below the equilibrium price will result in a supply shortage as it will be effective and binding, while price ceiling set above the equilibrium price will not affect quantity supplied in the market as it will not be effective and binding.

Since the $40 price of heck-up is below $50 equilibrium price, it will result in shortage supply and the number of check-ups in this market would decrease.

Suppose Antonio and Caroline are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff ma
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: See explanation column for answer

Explanation:

                                Caroline

                           left           Right

Anthonio   left   6,6             6,3

                  Right  4,3            5,5

The first digits in both left and right  is Anthonio's best response payoff given what Caroline chooses. Also, the second digit on both left and right is Caroline's best response payoff  based on what Anthonio chooses.

When Antonio chooses left, Caroline should choose left so as to get a payoff of 6, also when Antonio chooses right, Caroline chooses right to get a payoff of 5. therefore, there is no dominant strategy for Caroline.

The dominant strategy for Antonio occurs  

When Caroline chooses left, Antonio will have to choose left to get a payoff of 6, also when  Caroline chooses right, Antonio should choose left to get a payoff of 6. So, the dominant strategy for Antonio is to choose left.

The only dominant strategy in this game is for Antonio, to choose left.

b).  For Nash Equilibrum, Antonio will have to choose his dominant strategy, that is to choose left, which will make  Caroline is to choose left so as to get a payoff of 6. So, the Nash equilibrium is for Antonio to choose <u>left </u>and caroline chooses<u> left</u> too

Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-free securities yield a nominal annual rate of 3% in the United Stat
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$1.55

Explanation:

Interest rate parity = (1+Rh) / (1+Rf) = F1 / S0

Rh = rate on home currency here US is home 3% p.a = 3%/4 = 0.75%

Rf= rate on foreign currency here Germany 3.5% p.a = 3.5%/4 = 0.875

F1 = Forward rate , S0= Spot market rate

So, (1+0.0075) / (1+0.00875) = F1 / 1.56

1.0075/1.00875 = F1 / 1.56

0.998761 = F1 / 1.56

F1 = 0.998761 * 1.56

F1 = 1.55806716

F1 = $1.55

Thus, the 90-day forward rate is $1.55
