Answer:

Expected value of X = -11.09

Explanation:

Expected profit:

= Probability of winning × Amount she wins

= 0.03 × $180  

= 5.4

Expected loss:

= Probability of loosing × Amount she paid

= 0.97 × $17

= 16.49

Let X be amount of money Mary wins or loses.

E(X) = Expected profit - Expected loss

= 5.4 - 16.49

= -11.09

Expected value of X = -11.09

That is expected value of loss of $11.09

Why might a bank be willing to borrow funds from other banks at a higher rate than the rate at which it can borrow from the fed?
liberstina [14]
Because when a bank borrows money from the Fed it has to out toward collateral. Central banks in turn will want extra regulation, depending on the banks rep. As well as banks borrow too frequently from the Fed, resulting in the Fed restricting the ability to borrow in the future.

Sustainable Growth Rate You have located the following information on Rock Company: debt ratio = 46.5%, capital intensity ratio
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is 10.72% ( Approx.).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Debt ratio = 46.5%

Capital intensity ratio = 2.51 times

Profit margins = 21%

Dividend payout = 38%

Formula to calculate sustainable growth rate ae as follows:

Sustainable growth rate = (Earnings retention rate × Return on equity ) / ( 1 - (ROE × RR)

where, Retention rate =(1 - dividend payout rate)

= (1-0.38) = 0.62

ROE = Profit margin × Total asset turonver × Equity multipler

= Profit margin × 1/capital intensity ratio × 1/(1-debt ratio)

= .21 × (1/2.51) × 1/(1-.465)

= .21 × 0.398 × 1.869

= 0.1562

=15.62%

So, Sustainable growth rate = (0.1562*0.62) / 1 - (0.1562*0.62)

= 0.096844 / 0.903156

= 0.1072

= 10.72% (approx.)

Hence, the correct answer is 10.72% (approx.).
