Describe an example of a company that manufactures a product.

Assuming a 12% annual interest rate, determine the present value of a five-period annual annuity of $5,000 under each of the fol

Paraphin [41]

Solution :

Annual payment = $\$ 5000$

1. The rate of interest annually = 12%

Present value $=\$5000 \times \text{PVA of} \ \$1(12\%, 5)$

$=\$5000 \times 3.60478$

= $ 18,023.90

2. The rate of interest annually = 12%

Present value $=\$5000 \times \text{PVAD of} \ \$1(12\%, 5)$

$=\$5000 \times 4.03735$

= $ 20,186.75

3. The rate of interest annually = 12%

The rate of interest quarterly = 3%

Present value = $\$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 4) + \$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 8) +\$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 12)$ $+\$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 16) + \$5000 \times \text{PV of} \ \$1(3\%, 16)$

$= \$5000 \times 0.88849 + \$5000 \times 0.78941 + \$5000 \times 0.70138 + \$5000 \times 0.62317 + \$5000 \times 0.55368$ $=\$ 17,780.65$

A reduction in the saving rate starting from a steady state with more capital than the golden rule causes investment to?

Studentka2010 [4]

Starting from a steady state with greater capital than the Golden Rule, a decrease in the saving rate results in a decline in investment.

<h3>What is the definition of the golden rule?</h3>

The Golden Rule instructs people to make decisions for others based on their own personal preferences. Putting yourself in another person's shoes or "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you" are two common definitions of the Golden Rule (Baumrin 2004).

The golden rule would advise us to release someone who has been convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence, for instance, because we would not want to go to prison ourselves. This holds true even if we use the platinum rule because it's likely that the prisoner would choose to stay out of jail or prison.

Maria is a hard-working college sophomore. One Sunday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 100 practice problems

sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

i. The marginal, or additional, gain from Maria’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is <u> 40 </u> problems.

ii. The marginal gain from Maria’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is <u> 20 </u> problems

iii. 2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading (c)

Explanation:

i. The marginal gain from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM is calculated thus:

work done at 8:00 AM = 0 problems

Work done at 9:00 AM = 40 problems

Marginal gain = (Work done at 9:00 AM) - (work done at 8:00) = 40 - 0 = 40 problems

ii. work done at 10:00 AM = 70 problems

work done at 11:00 AM = 90 problems

Marginal gain = 90 - 70 = 20 problems

iii. To get the best exam score, the most number of problems possible in total must be answered within the 4-hour period, and this is determined as follows:

we are told that Maria gets tired as time progresses and the number of questions answered reduces we notice the following numbers of questions answered in each hour:

8:00 AM to 9:00 AM = 40 - 0 = 40 problems (hour 1)

9:00 AM to 10:00 AM = 70 - 40 = 30 problems (hour 2)

10:00 AM to 11:00 AM = 90 - 70 = 20 problems (hour 3)

11:00 AM to Noon = 100 - 90 = 10 problems (hour 4)

Also, we are told that;

1 hour of reading = 25 problems

Comparing the reading and solving problems, we see that the number of problems solved in hour-1 and hour-2 (40 and 30 respectively) are more than the equivalent number of problems solved in reading for 1 hour, while hour-3 and hour-4 (20 and 10 respectively), have lesser equivalent number of problems each, than reading for one hour. Therefore to make the most out of the 4 hours, Maria will spend the first 2 hours solving problems and the next two hours reading, giving a total of: 40 + 30 + 25 + 25 = 120 problems solved.

Cazden Motors' stock is trading at $30 a share. Call options on the company's stock are also available, some with a strike price

slava [35]

Answer:

d. If Cazden's stock price rose by $5, the exercise value of the options with $25 strike price would also increase by $5.

Explanation:

A call option confers a right, not an obligation upon the call buyer to buy a security at a pre determined price, known as exercise price or strike price at a future date.

A call buyer would exercise his right only in the scenarios wherein the strike price is lesser than the current market price on maturity.

Profit of a call buyer is given by = CMP as on expiry - Exercise/Strike price - Option premium paid

wherein CMP= Current Market Price

A call option is "in the money" when it's strike price is less than it's current market price. In the given case, it means if the CMP today represents CMP upon expiry, call buyer would exercise his right and his gain would be $5 i.e $30 - $25.

Since the $25 exercise option is "in the money", an increase in stock price by $5 will also increase the strike price by $5.

Supply chain management plays a dual role. Its first role is as a communicator of customer demand that extends from the point of

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

Supply Chain Management aims to streamline the processes involved in the supply chain. The supply chain is a complex network of activities and resources involved in transferring raw materials, parts, and finished goods from initial manufacturers to end consumers.

<em>We could say then, that the supply chain management has a dual role: one driven by the manufacturers needs to be communicated to suppliers and the second represented by the number of activities that the supply chain processes demand managers and engineers to structure.</em>
