Answer: Contingency planning

Explanation: In simple words, it refers to the planning for an upcoming event that may or may not occur in the future. This planning is usually done by organisation so that they can act accordingly if any problem in business operations occurs in future.

Walker Machine Tools has 6.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current market price of Walker common stock is $72
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

(a) Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares

= $22,500,000 ÷ 6,500,000

= $3.46

Price-earnings ratio = Stock price ÷ Earnings per share

= $72 ÷ $3.46

= 20.81

(b) Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares

= $22,500,000 ÷ (6,500,000 + 650,000)

= $3.15

R = (M0 - S) ÷ (N + 1)

= ($72 - $66.50) ÷  (7 + 1)

= $0.69

where,

M0 = current market price of Walker common stock

S = selling price per share

N = seven rights is needed to buy one of the new shares

Ex-rights price = Rights-on price - Rights value

= $72 - $0.69

= $71.31

Price-earnings ratio = Stock price ÷ Earnings per share

= $71.31 ÷ $3.15

= 22.64

Dr. G, the principal at Westside High School Academy, is worried that the students who win academic awards might also be more li
rosijanka [135]

No, Dr G has nothing to worry about because only 8 students won the academic as well as fine arts award out of 128 academic award winners. This corresponds to very low percentage of joint winners out of just academic award winners (0.0625%)

Explanation:

Total students in the Westside High School- 768

Winner of academic awards- 128

Winner of fine arts awards- 48

Students who won both awards- 8

Dr G pre assumption= Dr G was worried that winner of academic awards would win fine awards more likely.

But it seems that his assumtions are wrong since only 8 students out of 128 students won joint awards (meaning only 8 students won awards for fine arts as well as academic awards). Similarly, this corresponds to only 0.0625% of students winning academic awards as well as Fine arts awards.

You are asked to make comparisons of two pairs of countries. The first pair are the Latin American countries of Chile and Argent
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Part a: According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

Part b: The per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.

Explanation:

<em>Part a:</em>

According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

In Solow model the GDP per capita is defined as

                                           y=k^{\alpha}=f(k)

Also the steady state path is given as

sf(k)=(s+n)k\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*}{f(k^*)}\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*^{\alpha-1}}{k^*}\\\frac{s}{s+n}={k^*^{\alpha-2}}

As all other parameters are same thus the country with higher value of s will have a higher per capita GDP.

According to the Solow model, higher saving rate means larger capital stock and high level of output at the steady state.

Higher saving rate leads to faster growth in Solow model. So there is higher per capita real GDP for the country that has higher saving rate.

<em>Part b:</em>

In Simple Solow Model, the steady state per Capita GDP, y^* is the function of the steady state per capita capital stock given as k^*

Now this indicates that

y^*=f(k^*)

where f is an increasing concave function i.e. f'>0 and f''<0

Thus the sole dependence of per capita GDP is on per capita capital stock.

Thus the per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.

Calloway department store buys jackets for $19.75 each and sells them for $37.88 each. what is the markup rate based on cost?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer : The markup rate based on cost is 91.79747%.

We have

Selling price per jacket = $37.88

Cost per jacket = $19.75

Markup rate =[\frac{Selling Price - Cost}{Cost}] * 100

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

Markup rate = [\frac{37.88-19.75}{19.75}] *100

Markup rate = [\frac{18.13}{19.75}] *100

Markup rate = 91.79746835%
