Answer:
We see that Prog A will give an annual CF of 75%*$6000 = $4500
Prog B will give annual CF of 95%*$6000 = $5700
Disc Rate Kd = 20%
So PV of Annuity of $1 for 5 yrs with Kd = 20% is 2.9906
So NPV of Prog A = CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -12000+2.9906*4500 = $1,458
So NPV of Prog B= CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -20000+2.9906*5700 = $(2,954)
So Prog A is more effective as it gives a Positive NPV
Answer:
"trading fortress."
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Firms outside of trading areas run the risk of being shut out of the single market by the creation of a "trade fortress." A trade fortress serves as a barrier for the exchange of goods and services.
Free trade policy includes the adoption and implementation of tariffs and quotas between countries.
Trade policies tariffs and quotas will most likely benefit domestic producers of the protected good and harm domestic consumers of the protected good as they're made to pay for the consumption of imported products. Hence, under free trade there are more societal benefits due to the specialization of domestic goods.
Tariffs can reduce both the volume of exports and imports in a country.
Answer:
All the options might convince to an employer to choose a nonqualified retirement plan over a quialified plan.
en A). the owner of the corporation would use a nonqualified plan because the income tax rate of the business is lower than the owner´s tax rate.
B) Is a true statement. as nonqualified plans are typycally only stablised to benefit the executive and there are no requirements to benefit thr rank and file
C)
would cause an employer to choose a nonqualified plan because a nonqualified plan requires less administrative costs than a profit sharing plan
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
We will derive a two-state put option value in this problem.
Data: S₀ = 106; X = 112; 1 + r = 1.12. The two possibilities for ST are 149 and 75.
The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put
Answer: the hedge ratio of the put H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5
Explanation:
Given that;
S₀ = 106, X = 112, 1 + r = 1.12
Us₀ = 149 ⇒ Pu = 0
ds₀ = 75 ⇒ Pd = 37
To find the Hedge ratio using the expression
H = Pu - Pd /Us₀ - ds₀
so we substitute
H = 0 - 37 / 149 - 75
H = - 37/ 74
H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5
Explanation:
1. The ceterus paribus effect gives us to what extent, the effect of a variable has on another variable, while holding all other factors fixed. Analysing job training of workers on productivity will give us results that are not biased since we will not be taking account of other factor variables in the calculations. When 2 firms are the same in almost every aspect apart from number of hours on training, then we will find out that each firm would have different levels of workers output. So we should know if workers output increases due to job training.
2. When it comes to provision of training, furms do these based on characteristics of the workers. Some of these characteristics are measurable while some are immeasurable
Measurable:
Experience on the job,
Productivity
Level of education,
immeasurable :
Skill set
Vision
Likeliness to bstay at firm
3. Apart from worker characteristics, productivity also depends on other factors one of which is technological change. A technological change can bring about increased efficiency and greater output by the worker. Different firms using different capital and technological combination are quite likely to have different output levels.
4. A positive correlation between job training and productivity cannot be used to ascertain if job training makes worker more efficient this is due to the fact that correlation only tells us if variables are in coexistence. So a positive correlation does not tell us that job training is indeed bringing about changes in the productivity of workers.
