Answer:
She invested $2,167
Explanation:
As interest rate is not compounded, the 9-month interest of a 8% annual interest is simply:
8% * 9 / 12 = 6%
Let A be the amount of money she invest. After 9 month she will receive:
A * 0.06 dollars.
And the actual amount is $130. So she invested
A = $130 / 0.06 = $2,167
Answer: a good with an elastic supply
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply simply refers to how the changes in market price of a good bring about a responsiveness to the supply of such good.
Based on the information given, the best description of the grass seed that is described in this scenario is that it's a good that has an elastic supply. This is because the price of the good in thus case, is sensitive to the changes in the price.
Answer:
Portfolio A and Portfolio B
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) = Market risk premium
Let us assume the market risk premium be X
For Portfolio A:
21% = 8% + 1.3 × X
13% = 1.3 × X
So, the X = 10%
For Portfolio B:
17% = 8% + 0.7 × X
9% = 0.7 × X
So, the X = 12.86%
Based on the market risk premium calculations, we can conclude that Portfolio A should be in short position while Portfolio B should be in long position as portfolio B has higher market risk premium than B
Answer:
the three of them could be held personally liable:
- I. John
- II. John's manager
- III. The CEO, who in this specific case we assume could have prevented the crime.
Explanation:
John committed forgery and possibly fraud by forging clients' signatures on documents held by the company. His boss ordered him to do so, so he is also responsible for John's actions. John can even try to put all the blame on his boss alleging that he was forced to forge the signatures. The CEO of the firm is also responsible because the forged documents had to serve someone's illegal purposes, and the CEO probably was the one that needed them or knew about what was going on and didn't do anything to stop it.
Answer:
(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years
(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%
Explanation:
Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850
The useful life is 5 years
The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year
The salvage value is $107,100
(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows
= cost/amount of cash flow
= 283,850/81,100
= 3.5 years
(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows
First we calculate the depreciation expense
= 283,850-107,100/5
= 176,750/5
= 35,350
Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses
= 283,850-35,350
= 248,500
Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100
= 248,500/283,850 × 100
= 0.875 × 100
= 87.5%
