Answer:

1. Andrew Carnegie

You probably recognize Andrew Carnegie’s name, since he’s one of the most famous and richest industrialists of all time. However, he didn’t accumulate his wealth as a result of formal education or a business-charged background. Instead, he dropped out of school at a young age and spent the major portion of his youth performing manual labor. He was a bobbin boy at a local cotton mill and then became a telegraph messenger. It wasn’t until he taught himself how to read and entered the railroad industry that he began to build the empire that would make him (and his family) a fortune.

2. John Paul DeJoria

You may not have heard of John Paul DeJoria, but you’ve certainly indulged in some of the beauty products attached to his name. Now a multi-billionaire and one of the most accomplished entrepreneurs in modern history, DeJoria got his start as a newspaper courier. To make ends meet, he worked as a tow truck driver and a janitor. Eventually, he found his way to working at a hair-care company, where he met his future partner, Paul Mitchell. With minimal experience and a $700 loan, the duo founded a company now known as John Paul Mitchell Systems. From there, DeJoria co-founded Patron Spirits and the House of Blues.

3. Harland Sanders

If someone asked you for a loan to start a restaurant, but had no formal culinary training or experience, would you make that loan? It seems crazy to think anyone could become a successful restauranteur without a background in the industry, but that’s exactly what Harlan “Colonel” Sanders was able to do. When he started his line of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, the only experience he had was cooking for his siblings as a child and working at a number of odd jobs.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>Cost per Unit  Fatboy= $  27800 </em>

<em>Screamer Cost per unit =  $3779.80   </em>

Explanation:

Howrley-David, Inc.

                               

                                        Fatboy             Screamer           Total

Units Assembled               990                 1,980                  2,970

Materials cost per unit      $ 2,600        $ 3,600

Material Costs                   2574000         7128000  

Other costs:

Direct labor                          $1069200       2138400      $ 3,207,600

Indirect materials                                                                 534, 600

Other overhead                                                                  <u>  1,603,800</u>

FoH                                     712800           1425600           2138400

Total Costs                          2752,2000    7484000

<u>No of units                             990                1980</u>

<u>Cost per Unit                       27800              3779.80   </u>

The total costs have been added and then divided with the number of units to get the cost per unit.

Direct Labor Costs  =Total Direct Labor Costs/ Total number of units* required number of units

DLC for Fatboy= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *990= $1069200

DLC for Screamer= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *1980= 2138400

FActory Overheads = Total Factory Costs/ Total Units ( Required Units)

FOH for Fatboy=  534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 990= 712800

FOH for Screamer = 534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 1980=  1425600

West Corp. issued 20-year bonds two years ago at a coupon rate of 8.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bond
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Yield to Maturity (YTM) is 7.94 %.                      

Explanation:

Yield to Maturity (YTM) refers to internal rate of return that bond holder will earn if he purchased the bond today at the current market price and held it till maturity of the bond.

Yield to Maturity of the the bond = [Coupon payment+ (Future value of bond - Present value of bond / no. of Periods)] / [(Future value of bond + Present value of bond)/2] ---- (a)

Bond maturity period = 20 years

Coupon rate = 8.3 %

Par Value = 1000

No. of periods = 2 x 20 = 40 (semi- annual)

Coupon payment = 8.3 % x 1000 = 83 = 83/2 = 41.5 (Semi-annual)

Present value of bond = 104 percent of Par value = 104

Future value of bond = 1000

YTM = ?

Putting the values in equation (a),

Semi annual YTM = [41.5 + (1000-1040 / 40)] / [(1000 + 1040)/2]

Semi annual YTM = [41.5 + (-40/40) ] / [(1040)/2]

Semi annual YTM= [41.5 - 1] / 1020

Semi annualv YTM =  40.5 / 1020 = 0.0397

Hence, Annual yield to maturity = 0.0397 x 2 = 0.0794 or 7.94 %.
