Answer:

weighted average cost of capital is minimized

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) in accounting is the average rate of return a company is expected to compensate all its various investors by comparing its debt and equity structure.

The value of a firm is maximized when the weighted average cost of capital is minimized.

The formula to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is:

WACC = ((E ÷ V) x Re) + (((D ÷ V) x Rd) x (1 - T))

Where;

Re=Cost of equity

Rd=Cost of debt

E=Market value of equity

D=Market value of debt

T=Effective tax rate

V=Total market value of combined equity and debt

What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont

Nadusha1986 [10]

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

<u>Explanation:</u>

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

$P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}$

$P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}$

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

$P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}$

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

$= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700} + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37$

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:a.

It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

Explanation:

A bank will often hold government securities as an asset. If a bank were to sell S500,000 in government securities to an individual who paid for the bond in cash and the bank placed this cash in its vault, by how much would the money supply change as a result - It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

The money supply is the entire stock of currency and other liquid instruments circulating in a country's economy and is given by the formula:

MONEY SUPPLY = RESERVES X MONEY MULTIPLIER

Therefore the bank reserves increasing in the scenario will increase money supplier by the effect of the money multiplier or the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.
