Answer: The answer is C

Explanation:

Unemployment Rate: This is the proportion of the population of a country who had reached the age allowed by law to work but cannot find a job to do in the country. It is calculated as

U = Number of people unemployed / Labour Force*100%

Unemployment is a serious economic problem confronting a nation.infact,it is the major causes of poverty and human trafficking in the developing countries all over the world. It is the major causes of human trafficking into other parts of the world such as Europe and America. Almost on daily basis Africans most especially youth tried in their thousands to cross the Mediterranean sea to Europe from Africa in search of greener pasture and in the process many of them lose their life's when they perish on the sea.

Furthermore, In spite of these horrible news of economic migrant dying on the the sea in their attempt to reach Europe ,many African youth still want to embark on the journey in search of jobs to better their life's. Unemployment is of the following types such as frictional, cyclical, structural, seasonal, and technological unemployment.

However, with a view to solve the problem government should embark on the provision of employment opportunities for their people. In addition, government should also provide the enabled environment for the private sector to thrive so that they too could also contribute their own quota to the effort of government aimed at job creation in the country.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

7.00%

5.96%

1.20%

Explanation:

First and foremost, we need to determine the yield to maturity on the bond, using a financial calculator as shown thus:

The financial calculator should be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:

N=20(number of semiannual coupons in 10 years=10*2=20)

PMT=30(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*/2=$1000*6%/2=$30)

PV=-1163.51(current price=$1,163.51)

FV=1000(face value of the bond=$1000)

CPT

I/Y=2.00%(semiannual yield=2%, annnual yield=2.00%*2=4.00%)

bond yield plus risk premium=bond yield(4.00%)+ risk premium(3%)

bond yield plus risk premium=7.00%

In determining the midpoint range is the maximum plus minimum cost of equity divided by 2

Let us determine cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Constant Dividend Growth Model

cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected return on the market portfolio-risk-free rate)

risk-free rate=yield on Treasury bonds= 0.6%

beta=0.8

expected return on the market portfolio= 6%

cost of equity=0.6%+0.8*(6%-0.6%)

cost of equity=4.92%

cost of equity=expected dividend/share price+growth rate

expected dividend=last dividend*(1+growth rate)

expected dividend=$1.13*(1+4%)=$1.1752

share price= $39.17

growth rate=4%

cost of equity=($1.1752/$39.17)+4%

cost of equity=7.00%

midpoint range=(maximum cost of equity+minimum cost of equity)/2

midpoint rate=(7.00%+4.92%)/2

midpoint range=5.96%

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of preferred stock*cost of preferred stock)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

weight of equity= 20%

cost of equity=5.96%

weight of preferred stock=20%

cost of preferred stock=annual dividend/price

cost of preferred stock=$4.3/$135.26=3.18%

weight of debt=60%

aftertax cost of debt=4.00%*(1-34%)=2.64%

WACC=(20%*5.96%)+(20%*3.18%)*(60%*2.64%)

WACC=1.20%

Leya [2.2K]

I would hire the first candidate. However, in today’s world everything you say is being recorded or somebody is paying close attention to what you, as a representative of a company has to say. If an employee does not feel that customer service is important I would see that as a liability because they may not censor themselves in front of customers. That being said, having good technical skills is important to do the job you were hired in the first place. Before hiring either employee I would do a stress test and see how each employee reacts to the scenarios in which they were put.

Young Company budgets sales of $112,900,000, fixed costs of $25,000,000, and variable costs of $66,611,000. What is the contribu

quester [9]

Answer:

a. The contribution margin ratio will be 41%

b. The income from operations will be $12,420,000.

Explanation:

a. The sales are given at $112,900,000.

The fixed costs are $25,000,000.

The variable costs are $66,611,000.

The contribution margin will be

=Sales-variable costs

=$(112,900,000-66,611,000)

=$46,289,000

The contribution margin ratio will be

=(Contribution margin/sales)*100

=($46,289,000/ $112,900,000)*100

=41%

b. Now, if the contribution margin ratio is 40%.

The sales are given at $34,800,000.

The fixed costs are $1,500,000.

Income from operations or operating profit will be

=(sales*contribution margin ratio)-fixed cost

=$(34,800,000*0.4)-$1,500,000

=$12,420,000
