Answer:

The Company should undertake project A.

Explanation:

The finance of projects is usually done through pooling of funds, that is using <em>various sources</em> of finance. The WACC represents the return required by providers of this finance and also shows the risk of the company.

A company will always<em> accept projects</em> that provide a return higher that their weighted average cost of capital (risk) and r<em>eject any project</em> offering a return below the WACC.

Conclusion :

The Company should undertake project A as this gives a return higher than the WACC of 8.5%.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3      

Explanation:

Data given and notation      

\bar X=5000 represent the sample mean      

s=800 represent the standard deviation for the sample      

n=16 sample size      

\mu_o =5600 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 5600, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 5600      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 5600      

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:      

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)      

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic      

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:      

t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3

Assume that a bank initially has no excess reserves. If it receives $5,000 in cash from a depositor and the bank finds that it c
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Amount deposited = 5000

Amount which can be Lent out = 2500

The reserve requirement may be explained as a certain percentage of a commercial bank's deposit that must be held in reserve, this is usually a directive placed on the commercial banks by the central bank of the nation.

The reserve requirement is calculated by finding the proportion of the difference between the amount deposited and the maximum amount that can be Lent out to the total deposited amount.

Mathematically,

Reserve requirement =[ (deposit amount - amount that can be Lent out) / deposit amount] × 100

Reserve requirement : ([(5000- 4500) / 5000] × 100)%

= (500 / 5000) × 100

= 0.1 × 100 = 10%

Which of the following describes the products and services of companies that are price-setters?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Correct option is (A)

Explanation:

Companies that are price setters or price makers  produce unique products  as they have an advantage over others. They are price makers as they enjoy monopoly in the market.

Companies producing homogeneous products cannot be price setters as there are many other companies operating in the same market so prices are set by the market forces.
