Answer:

C)25 percent

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

The interest rate where the present value of the two two prizes would be identical can be found using a financial calculator and trial and error method.

Option A :

Cash flow for year zero = $200

Cash flow for year one = $200

Present value when I is 0 = $400

Present value when I is 5 = $390.48

Present value when I is 10 = $381.82

Present value when I is 25 = $360

Option B

Cash flow in year 0 =$100

Cash flow in year 1 = $325

Present value when I is 0 = $425

Present value when I is 5 = $409.52

Present value when I is 25 = $360

Present value when I is 10 = $395.45

It can be seen that it's at 25% that both cash flows would be equal.

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Answer:

Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis  and conclude all three means are not equal.

Explanation:

The given data is

Banking          Retail            Insurance

12                      8                        10

10                     8                          8

10                     6                          6

12                     8                           8

<u>10                    10                          10</u>

The results of excel are:            

<u><em>Anova: Single Factor  </em></u>    

     

SUMMARY      

Groups    Count Sum Average         Variance  

Column 1 5 54            10.8              1.2  

Column 2 5 40               8               2  

Column 3 5 42              8.4                 2.8  

         

1) Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0: u1=u2=u3  i.e all the three means are equal and

Ha: Not all three means are equal

2) The significance level is set at ∝ =0.05

3)The test statistic to use is

F= sb²/ sw²

which has F distribution with v1= k-1 →3-1=2 and v2= n-k →15-3=12 degrees of freedom

After calculations the following table is obtained.

<u><em>ANOVA  </em></u>

<u>Total                     46.93      14                                                                </u>

4) The critical region is F ≥ F(0.05, 2,12) = 3.885

5) Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis  and conclude all three means are not equal.

Wolverine Company financial statements included the effects of these errors: Reported Net Income for Year 1 was $20,000. Reporte
Natali [406]

Answer:

Net income year 2 = $21,300

Explanation:

I looked for the missing information and found this:

Year            Depreciation overstated         Prepaid expense omitted

1                              $2,500                                $2,000

2                             $4,000                                $2,700

If your question doesn't include the same values, just adjust the answer.

Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $2,000 - $2,700 = $21,300

A person has a poor credit score due mainly to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans. How could the person impr
KIM [24]

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

The credit score is a number used by lenders to help them decide the likelihood of an individual to repay on time if the person is granted a credit card or a loan. The higher the scores, the likelihood that the person qualifies for credit cards and loans.

A person that has a poor credit score due to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans can improve his or her score by paying off the debt. When an individual pays of his or her debt, the person will have an improved credit score which can be used to apply for further loans.

Furthermore, such individual can also keep his or her balances low on the credit cards. A credit card with high debts doesn't represent the individual well when applying for a loan which will lead to a negative credit score.
