True.The financial crisis hastened the ongoing process in which the financial services industry was transforming from having a few large firms to many small firms.
Explanation:
The financial crisis broke the back of many big firms especially working the stock market and exchange. Financing services were being handled by big behemoths during the time that harbored a lot of space in the industry and did not allow smaller firms to take over the tasks and succeed in their stead.
The crisis made it impossible for their business models to sustain and no one could afford a hefty sum for financial services so smaller companies with less operational costs took their place.
Answer:
Determining the priority among projects for access to the drum.
Explanation:
An Israeli physicist named, Eliyahu M. Goldratt developed the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and introduced it in his book "Critical Chain" in 1997.
The CCPM is a project management methodology used by managers to better manage a project. The CCPM ensures that the project plan is feasible and immune from any uncertainty or statistical fluctuations.
In the CCPM activity network, there are no milestones and all non-critical activities are performed as late as possible.
A resource constraint can be exploited using Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) methodology by determining the priority among projects for access to the drum (a system wide constraint).
CCPM adopts the use of drum buffers, so as to ensure extra safety is applied to a project immediately before using constrained resource.
Answer:
Risk is higher if a company has more assets.
Explanation:
All of the following statements are true and correct;
1. Higher financial leverage involves higher risk.
2. Risk is higher if a company has more liabilities.
3. The debt ratio is one measure of financial risk.
4. Lower financial leverage involves lower risk.
However, it is false and an absolutely incorrect to say risk is higher if a company has more assets.
A company having more assets would have a debt ratio less than one (1) because it has many assets to fund it's business. Thus, the company would have little or no debts and as such, it's risk portfolio is very low.
Hence, risk is lower if a company has more assets.
Answer:
$863,689.50
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of the terminal value is shown below:
The terminal value at the end of the third year is
= Third year Cash flows × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
= $64,000 × (1 + 2%) ÷ (8% - 2%)
= $1,088,000
Now its present value is
= terminal value at the end of the third year ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $1,088,000 ÷ (1 + 8%)^3
= $863,689.50
