FOR EXAMPLE You meet three islanders named Ellis, Farin, and Gobi. They all know what each other is (a knight, knave or joker) and make the following statements:If exactly one of them is a joker then One of them is a knight
Since exactly one of them is a joker, and they all accuse different people of being jokers, then the joker is lying. If the joker were telling the truth, then they would claim that they themselves are the joker, which none of these three are doing.  
Given this, one of them is telling the truth. For instance, suppose that Ellis is the Joker, then Gobi is telling the truth. Or you can suppose that Farin is the joker, in which case Ellis is telling the truth. Same thing with Gobi.  
This person telling the truth can't be a joker since all the statements accuse other people of being jokers and, again, a joker telling the truth this once would say that they, themselves, are the joker. So the truth-teller must be a knight.  
So one person is a joker, and at least one is a knight. The third person can't be a knight (they must be a knave), because the knight and the third person are saying that different people are jokers, which is impossible with only one joker. For instance, if Ellis is the joker, then Gobi is telling the truth (and is a knight), and Farin is lying (and is a knave.  
So, since there is only one truth-teller there must be only one knight

Which of the following are examples of natural barriers to entry? Correct Answer(s) Drag appropriate answer(s) here Smaller comp
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

These are correct:

  • Smaller companies with smaller production processes have higher per unit costs than larger companies. - smaller firms find it harder to adopt economies of scale to reduce costs.
  • Over time, a firm takes control of 85% of the world’s supply of a chemical used in the production of plastic. - the firm has almost total control over a scarce resource, and new competitors have to scramble for the remaning 15%. (note: this is a natural barrier to entry as long as the pharmaceutical company did not collude with the government to reach such a high market share, in said case, it would be an artificial barrier to entry).
  • Lenders are hesitant to provide funding for new firms that will compete with a large, well-established firm. - a small firm may lack market credibility in the financial markets, because investors are hesitant about the future of the company, or do not expect high rates of return.

Calculate the price of a two-year bond with a face value of $100, a coupon rate of 5%, and a yield-to-maturity of 5%.
aalyn [17]

The price of the bond is $100.

The bond's price is the present value of the face value plus the present value of the interest accrued throughout the bond's term.

The coupon interest rate is 5% of 100, that is $5 per year. The yield to maturity is also 5%. Because the coupon rate is equal to the yield, the bond's present value will only be its face value.

Present value = 5(P/A, 5%, 2) + 100(P/F, 5%, 2)

                      = 5×1.85941+ 100×0.90703

                       = 100

Therefore, the price of the bond is $100.

Kamath-Meier Corporation's CFO uses this equation, which was developed by regressing inventories on sales over the past 5 years,
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$71.5

Explanation:

Inventory forecast is a way of predicting the volume of inventory required to fulfill future orders based on the existing production capacity and other plans relating to production

equation for forecasting inventory = $22 + 0.125 sales

Current sales = $300 million

Annual sales growth rate =32%

sales for next year = 300 + (300*32%)

300 + 96= $396 million

Applying the equation

Inventory = $22 + (0.125*396)

$22 + $49.5 = $71.5 million

The Morris Corporation has $350,000 of debt outstanding, and it pays an interest rate of 8% annually. Morris's annual sales are
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

8.14 times

Explanation:

The computation of the Time interest earned ratio is shown below:

As we know that

Times interest earned ratio = (Earnings before interest and taxes) ÷ (Interest expense)

where,

Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax for the year + Interest expense

But before tha,  we need to do the following calculations

The interest amount  is

= $350,000 × 0.08

= $28,000

The net profit is

= $1,750,000 × 8%

= $140,000

The EBIT is

= Profit before tax + interest expense

= $140,000 ÷ (1 - 0.30) + $28,000

= $200,000 + $28,000

= $228,000

And, the interest expense is $28,000

So, the TIE ratio is

= $228,000 ÷ $28,000

= 8.14 times
