Fred is thinking of starting a bowling alley near a college campus. Fred is an expected utility maximizer with utility function:

U(W) = 1 – (3000/W), where W is his wealth. Fred’s total wealth is $12,000. With probability 0.2 the alley will be a failure and he’ll lose $9,000, so that his wealth will be just $3,000. With probability 0.8 it will succeed and his wealth will grow to $X. What is the smallest value of X that would be sufficient to make Fred want to invest in the bowling alley rather than have a wealth of $12,000 with certainty?

Answer:

$14,250

Explanation:

To determine what amount of money will make Fred take his chances and invest in this new business, we first have to solve this equation:

  • current wealth - (% chance of losing money x wealth after losing money)

$12,000 - (20% x $3,000) = $12,000 - $600 = $11,400

Then:

$11,400 / 80% of getting wealthier = $14,250

Answer:

All of the following are organization-directed benefits associated with offering unconditional guarantees except:

a. the guarantee provides a means to avoid bankruptcy.

Explanation:

Providing or offering customers unconditional guarantees does not help the company to avoid bankruptcy.  Bankruptcy arises from inadequate financing resulting from overtrading.  Importantly, offering guarantees to customers communicates a clear performance goal to employees to improve service delivery to customers.

The Raven Co. has just gone public. Under a firm commitment agreement, Raven received $15.90 for each of the 25 million shares s
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

22.38%

Explanation:

Raven corporation has just gone public

They received $15.90 for each 25 million shares that was sold

The first step is to calculate the net amount raised

Net amount that was raised= 15.90×25,000,000 = 397,500,000

397,500,000-860,000-330,000

= 396,310,000

Underwriter spread= 17.50-15.90

= 1.6 per shares

Total underwriter spread= per share spread× number of shares that were offered

= 1.6×25,000,000

= 40,000,000

Total direct costs= 40,000,000+860,000

=40,860,000

Indirect flotation cost= indirect cost+price appreciation

= 330,000+(19.40-17.50)×25,000,000

= 330,000+1.9×25,000,000

=330,000+47,500,000

= 47,830,000

Total flotation cost= 47,830,000+40,860,000

= 88,690,000

Therefore, the flotation cost as a percentage of funds raised can be calculated as follows

= 88,690,000/396,310,000 × 100

= 0.2238×100

= 22.38%

Hence the flotation costs as a percentage of funds raised is 22.38%

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": total value from trade in a market.

Explanation:

Canadian economist Alex Tabarrok (born in 1966) explains social surplus as the sum of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and bystanders surplus. Tabarrok takes an integrative approach in consumer surplus by stating <em>social surplus encompasses every economic trade in the market rather than only consumers and producers surplus.</em>

<em />

Besides, Tabarrok believes when there are major external costs or benefits, the market will not reach its social surplus.
