Answer:

a. What is the average annual​ return?

average annual return (mean) = (-4.5% + 28.1% + 12.2% + 3.7%) / 4 = 9.875%

b. What is the variance of the​ stock's returns?

variance = [(-4.5% - 9.875%)² + (28.1% - 9.875%)² + (12.2% - 9.875%)²) + (3.7% - 9.875%)²] / 4 = (206.64 + 332.15 + 5.41 + 38.13) / 4 = 582.33 / 4 = 145.5825

c. What is the standard deviation of the​ stock's returns?

standard deviation = √145.5825 = 12.06%

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

$450

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Number of the units produced is 50 units

Marginal revenue is $6

Now the output increase by 50%

So, the total revenue is

= Number of units produced × marginal revenue + increased output percentage × (Number of units produced × marginal revenue)

FIN issues a $1000 par value bond that pays 7 precent annula interest and will mature in 14 years. The current market price for
Serjik [45]

Answer:

7.05 %

Explanation:

After tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)

so, the initial step is to determine the interest rate :

The Bond Yield (i/yr) presents the market rate and this is what we want for our interest rate.

thus,

PV = -  [$950 - ($950 x14%)] = - $817<em>(remove floatation cost from market price)</em>

FV = $1000

PMT = $1000 x 7 % = $70.00

P/YR = 1

N = 14

i/yr = ??

Using a financial calculator to input the values as above, the Bond Yield (i/yr) will be 9.40 %

therefore,

After tax cost of debt = 9.40 % x (1 - 0.25)

                                    = 7.05 %

What theory asserts that workers want to be taken care of and protected by their leaders?
svlad2 [7]
I believe the correct answer is Theory X.
It is a rather pessimistic point of view which suggests that workers have no ambitions whatsoever and are constantly in need of someone to pat their shoulders and tell them they did a good job. They always need approval even though they are not interested in the work they do.
