Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Let re-visit the definition of information asymmetry before we further investigate the scenario. Information asymmetry describes the situation when the two parties are negotiating and one of them have more relevant information/knowledge that helps he/she gains competitive advantages in negotiation over the other party.

In the described scenario, the information that Nina has been fired from her previous job mainly because of her fault rather than any other objective reasons  is of much importance for the interviewer's decision-making in term of hiring Nina. Did the interviewer know this piece of information, he/she may not hire Nina or the negotiating salary level would be pretty much lower.

At the beginning of the period, the Cutting Department budgeted direct labor of $136,000, direct materials of $156,000 and fixed
sammy [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In this question, we will calculate the appropriate total budget for the department.

We employ a mathematical approach as follows;

direct labor =$136,000

direct material =$156,000

fixed factory overhead = $10,100

total cost will be ---- 136,000 + 156,000+ 10,100 = $302,100 (for 7,000 hrs of production)

the cost of 1 hr of production is 302,100/7,000= $43.16

so in order to extend it to 10,300 we need (10,300-7,000) = 3,300 more hrs of production

3,300 * 43.16 = 142,419

adding this to 302,100 + 142,419 = $444,519

Wiley's Wire Products is considering a project that has the following cash flow and cost of capital (r) data. What is the projec
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct option is d. 13.50%.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

The explanation to the answer is now provided using following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the present value (PV) of the cash flow of the project

Since the cash flow is $350 for each year, the PV of the project can be calculated using the

formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the project = ?

P = Annual cash flow = $350

r = cost of capital = 11%, or 0.11

n = number of years = 3

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = 350 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.11))^3) / 0.11)

PV = $855.300150406068

Step 2: Calculation of MIRR of the project

This can be calculated using the following formula:

MIRR = (PV / Outlay)^(1/n) * (1 + r) - 1……………….. (2)

Where;

PV = $855.300150406068

Outlay = Absolute cash outflow = 800

r = cost of capital = 11%, or 0.11

n = number of years = 3

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

MIRR = (855.300150406068 / 800)^(1/3) * (1 + 0.11) - 1

MIRR = 0.13500863584805, or 13.500863584805%

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

MIRR = 13.50%

Therefore, the correct option is d. 13.50%.

What would you expect to happen to the mix between internal financing (where companies use their own funds such as retained earn
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

With the large increase in financial market uncertainty, the mix between internal financing and external financing for new investment projects will tether towards internal sources of funding.

Explanation:

This means that the larger proportion of finance for new investment projects must come from internal sources rather than external sources.  The companies will, therefore, experience much more pressure to generate and retain sufficient profits than it would have experienced otherwise.  While this looks like the best way to go, the possibility of success depends on the chunk of the internally-generated funds that the companies already have.
