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.

Suppose the September Eurodollar futures contract has a price of 96.4. You plan to borrow $50m for 3 months in September at LIBO
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Definition of simple terminologies ;

  • A contractual agreement is an agreement which is made on future exchanges in order to buy or sell goods at a fixed price at a specified time period.
  • LIBOR stands for London interbank offered rate which is the rate at which  banks borrow money from other banks in london market. this rate is a fixed term by the british bankers association.

a) The implied LIBOR of the September Eurodollar futures of 96.4 is =  100 96.4 /400-=0.9%

(b) As we want to borrow money, it implies buying protection against high interest rates, which means low Eurodollar future prices. We will short the Eurodollar contract.

c) Number of contact to be entered into = One Eurodollar contract which is based on a $1 million 3-month deposit. As such, entering into hedge a loan of $50M, will automatically implies entering into 50 short contracts.

d) A true 3-month LIBOR of 1% means an annualized position (annualized by market conventions) of 1% x 4 = 4%. Therefore, our 50 short contracts will pay: [96.4 − (100 − 4) × 100 × $25] × 50 = $50,000.

The increased interest rate has  made the loan more expensive as such, the loss to exposure  will be compensated hence we have to pay the following amount ; ($50,000,000 x 0.01) - $50,000

= $450,000

Bourdon software has 10.6 percent coupon bonds on the market with 17 years to maturity. the bonds make semiannual payments and c
Nimfa-mama [501]

The Current yield on the bonds are calculated as :

Current yield = Annual coupon payments/ Current price

Here, we assume the face value of the bond to be $1000

Annual coupon payments are 10.6% of the face value or 0.106*1000 = 106

Current price = 108.1% of the face value = 1.081* 1000 = 1081

Current Yield = 106/1081

Current Yield = 0.098057 = 9.8057%

Current Yield = 9.81% (Rounded to two decimals)

B. No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.

C. Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.

Explanation:

The statements that are true regarding owners' equity and ownership rights held in noncorporate entities include:

• No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.

• Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.

• Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.

We should note that sole proprietorships and partnership typically don't have stockholders and shouldn't issue stock as they aren't separated from their founders.

Also, the owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital. We should note that for a sole proprietorship or a partnership, the equity is the owners capital account which can be seen on the balance sheet.

Based on the above explanation, all the options given above are correct.

Pete qualifies for a home office deduction. The amount of space devoted to business use is 300 square feet of the total 1,200 sq
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Rent is $2400

utilities other than cellphone is $625

Total home office expenses is $3025

Explanation:

firstly we need to calculate the percentage of how much in total does the office take in the apartment so we will say (300 square feet/1200 square feet) x 100

which is 25% so then to get the rental expense of the office we will say :

25%x$9600 = $2400 we say 25% which is office space in the apartment multiplied by the total apartment rental to get the office rent expense.

Then for the utilities we will say 25%x$2500 = $625 we multiply like this because the office uses 25% of all the apartment utilities .

thereafter the total home office expenses is the sum  of both the rental office expense plus the the utilities other than telephone for the home office expense:

$625 + $2400 = $3025 then we get total home office expenses.
