Answer:

The correct answer is option (a) Less than 5% but more than 3%

Explanation:

Scheduled time of project = 25

Calculating the activity variance, we have

Task Mean time Standard deviation Variance

A 4 0.6 0.6² = 0.36

B 5 0.2 0.2² = 0.04

E 2 0.1 0.1² = 0.01

F 6 1 1² = 1

H 2 0.2 0.2² = 0.04

M 6 0.1 0.1² = 0.01

Sum of variance = 0.36 +0.04 + 0.01 +1+ 0.04 + 0.01

=1.46

Standard deviation = √variance

=√1.46

=1.2083

probability that the project will be completed in 23 days or less

z = 23-25 /1.2083

= -1.65

which corresponds to prob. of 0.0494 = 4.94%

a is correct.

iragen [17]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Andy can produce 24 loaves of bread or 8 pounds of butter:

Opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of butter = (24 ÷ 8)

= 3 loaves of bread

John can produce 8 loaves of bread or 8 pounds of butter:

Opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of butter = (8 ÷ 8)

= 1 loaves of bread

Therefore,

John has a comparative advantage in producing butter because of lower opportunity cost.

Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of butter is 3 loaves of bread for Andy and 1 loaves of bread for John.

jarptica [38.1K]

Scaling Scrum, it can also be done in multiple teams. The task of the multiple teams is to create a product. Everyone takes their part with continuous updates on scrum meetings and development through a collaborative effort to improve their chosen product by exchange of ideas.

The team works on the same sprint planning each phase. If a team, however, had sprint backlogs they have to learn on how to work and improve it. Thus, they make an integrated increment in each sprint planning that they have.

You are given the following information concerning Around Town Tours:Debt: 7,500, 6.8 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with 11

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

9.0%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the WACC for this firm

First step

Common stock=284,000 × $68

Common stock= $19,312,000

Second step is to calculate the Preferred stock

Preferred stock=9,000 × $88

Preferred stock= $792,000

Debt= 7,500 × .979 × $1,000

Debt = $7,342,500

Value = $19,312,000 + 792,000 + $7,342,500

Value= $27,446,500

Second step

RE = .041 + 1.04(.146-.041)

RE= .1502

RE = ($2.62 /$68) + .025

RE= .0635

Average RE = (.1502+ .0635)/2

Average RE = .1069

RP = $8/$88

RP = .0909

Fourth step

$979 = [(.068 × $1,000) / 2] × ({1- 1 / [1 + (r/ 2)]22} / (r / 2)) + $1,000 / [1 + (r / 2)]22

r = 7.08 %

Now let calculate the WACC

WACC = ($19,312,000/$27,446,500)(.1069) + ($792,000/$27,446,500)(.0909) + ($7,342,500/$27,446,500)(.0708)(1 -.34)

WACC= .090*100

WACC=9.0 %

Therefore the WACC for this firm is 9.0%
