A builder has located a piece of property that she would like to buy and eventually build on. The land is currently zoned for fo

ur homes per acre, but she is planning to request new zoning. What she builds depends on approval of zoning requests and your analysis of this problem to advise her. With her input and your help, the decision process has been reduced to the following costs, alternatives, and probabilities: Cost of land: $3 million. Probability of rezoning: 0.40. If the land is rezoned, there will be additional costs for new roads, lighting, and so on, of $1 million. If the land is rezoned, the contractor must decide whether to build a shopping center or 1,400 apartments that the tentative plan shows would be possible. If she builds a shopping center, there is a 50 percent chance that she can sell the shopping center to a large department store chain for $5 million over her construction cost, which excludes the land; and there is a 50 percent chance that she can sell it to an insurance company for $8 million over her construction cost (also excluding the land). If, instead of the shopping center, she decides to build the 1,400 apartments, she places probabilities on the profits as follows: There is a 60 percent chance that she can sell the apartments to a real estate investment corporation for $2,000 each over her construction cost; there is a 40 percent chance that she can get $2,500 each over her construction cost.

Answer:

the best alternative is to sell the shopping center to the insurance company

Explanation:

Answer:

Step 1:  

Facts given in the case

Current rezoning policy = 4 home / acre

Cost of land = $3, 000, 000

Rezoning alternative: (RZ)

Probability of rezoning = 0.40

Additional costs = $1, 000, 000

Alternatives: 1 shopping center (SC) or 1, 400 apartments (AP)

Probability of selling shopping center to large department store chain (DS) = 0.50

Profit from selling shopping center to large department chain store excluding land cost = $5,000, 000

Probability of selling shopping center to insurance company (IC) = 0.50

Profit from selling shopping center to insurance company excluding land cost = $8,000, 000

Probability of selling 1, 400 apartments to real estate investment (RE) = 0.60

Profit from selling the to a real estate investment = 1, 400 x $2, 000 = $2, 800, 000

Probability of selling 1, 400 apartments to others (OT) = 0.40

Profit from selling 1, 400 apartments to others excluding land cost = $2, 500 x 1, 400 = $3, 500, 000

Non- rezoning alternative: (NRZ)

Probability of non-rezoning = 0.60

Number of homes to be built (H)= 500 homes (mock figure as full question is not given)

Profit from selling 500 homes excluding the land cost = $3, 500 x 500 = $1, 750, 000

(mock figures as complete question is not given)

What is the best alternative?  

Land if rezone, build shopping center and sell it to the insurance company

It has the highest profits = $8, 000, 000

Government's role is to create and enforce laws that:
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Balance the relationship between business and society.

Explanation:

Government regulates both society and business.

The government regulates businesses to ensure that the activities of businesses are in the best interest of the society. This is why they regulate monopolies, tax companies that create negative externalities and subsidise the activities of companies that provide positive externality.

Government also has to look out for businesses by ensuring that the amenities and facilities needed for smooth running of business activities are in place. This is why a government may regulate import activities through quotas or tariffs.

I hope my answer helps you.

On July 15, 2016, you convert 650,000 U.S. dollars to Japanese yen in the spot foreign exchange market and purchase a six-month
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The question is not complete:

On July 15, 2016, you convert 650,000 U.S. dollars to Japanese yen in the spot foreign exchange market (¥104.91/$) and purchase a six-month forward contract ($0.0095320/¥1) to convert yen into dollars. How much will you receive in U.S. dollars at the end of six months? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

The sum of $650,001.38  would be received in six months

Explanation:

In the first place by buying the yen in the spot market on July 15 ,2016, the amount of yen is computed thus:

$650,000 was at (¥104.91/$) ,which implies that each $ was exchanged for ¥104.91

yen received =$650,000*104.91/1

                       = ¥ 68,191,500.00  

The six month forward contract outcome is as follows:

($0.0095320/¥1)

each Yen was exchanged $0.0095320

dollars received= ¥ 68,191,500.00 *0.0095320/1

                          =$650,001.38

Key numbers that financial managers use to calculate ratios usually come from the firm’s
3241004551 [841]
The answer that fits the blank above would be BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME STATEMENT. The balance sheet serves the copy of the liabilities and assets that a company or firm has recorded for a specific period of time. On the other hand, the income statement shows both the profit and loss that the company has. Therefore, it is based on these two that financial managers are able to calculate ratios.
