You and a rival are engaged in a game in which there are three possible outcomes: you win, your rival wins (you lose), or the tw

o of you tie. You get a payoff of 50 if you win, a payoff of 20 if you tie, and a payoff of 0 if you lose. What is your expected payoff in each of the following situations where nature decides if you win or not:
A) There is a 50% chance the game ends in a tie, 10% chance you win (and therefore a 40%
chance you lose).
B) There is a 50-50 chance of winning and there are no ties.
C) There is an 80% chance you lose and a 10% chance you win or tie.

Answer:

A) There is a 50% chance the game ends in a tie, 10% chance you win (and therefore a 40%  chance you lose).

expected value = (50% x 20) + (10% x 50) + (40% x 0) = 10 + 5 + 0 = 15

B) There is a 50-50 chance of winning and there are no ties.

expected value = (50% x 50) + (50% x 0) + = 25 + 0 = 25

C) There is an 80% chance you lose and a 10% chance you win or tie.

expected value = (10% x 20) + (10% x 50) + (80% x 0) = 2 + 5 + 0 = 7

The expected value of an event is determined by adding up all the possible outcomes multiplied by their respective value.

Marianna [84]

The entry to record this transaction would include:

Dr. Inventory $20,000

Cr. Accounts payable    $20,000

What does it mean to purchase inventory on account?

Purchasing the inventory on account for $20,000 means that Ferguson corp. did not make payment for the inventory immediately, it rather purchased the inventory on credit with a promise to pay later.

As a result, the liability of Ferguson corp. has increased, specifically, the company would credit accounts payable with $20,000 such that inventory, which is the receiving account is debited with the same amount

Morganti corporation sells a product for $170 per unit. the product's current sales are 41,800 units and its break-even sales ar
ololo11 [35]
To find the margin of safety in dollars, subtract the breakeven sales from the budged or actual sales. 

Current sales are 41,800 units 
Break even point in units is 33,900
Cost per unit is $170

(33,900)($170) = $5,763,000
(41,800)($170) = $7,106,000

The margin of safety in dollars is:
$7,106,000 - $5,763,000 = $1,343,000

An investor is considering two investment, an office building and bonds. He can only invest on of them. The possible return from
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in office building.

expected return:

$50,000 x 0.3 = $15,000

$60,000 x 0.2 = $12,000

$80,000 x 0.1 = $8,000

$10,000 x 0.3 = $3,000

<u>$0 x 0.1 = $0                      </u>

expected return = $38,000

$50,000 - $38,000 = -$12,000² = $144,000,000

$60,000 - $38,000 = -$22,000² = $484,000,000

$80,000 - $38,000 = -$42,000² = $1,764,000,000

$10,000 - $38,000 = -$28,000² = $784,000,000

<u>$0 - $38,000 = -$38,000² = $1,444,000,000         </u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.3 x $144,000,000) + (0.2 x $484,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,764,000,000) + (0.3 x $784,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,444,000,000) = $43,200,000 + $96,200,000 + $176,400,000 + $235,200,000 + $144,400,000 = $695,400,000

standard deviation = √$895,800,000 = $26,370

2) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in bonds.

expected return:

$30,000 x 0.4 = $12,000

<u>$40,000 x 0.6 = $24,000   </u>

expected return = $36,000

$30,000 - $36,000 = -$6,000² = $36,000,000

<u>$40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000² = $16,000,000</u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.4 x $36,000,000) + (0.6 x $16,000,000) = $14,400,000 + $9,600,000 = $24,000,000

standard deviation = √$24,000,000 = $4,899

3) Based on the expected return we should choose investing in a building, but if we consider the variance and the standard deviation of the investments, I would choose investing in bonds. The difference in expected returns is not that large (only $2,000) but the variance and standard deviations of investing in the office buildings is quite large, meaning that the risk is very high.

Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $90 per share and the required return on the stock is 8 percent. You also
maks197457 [2]

Answer: $3.46

Explanation:

Given the following :

Current share price (P0) = $90 per share

Required return on stock= 8%

total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield ;

Therefore, Required return on stock= 8% ;

4% capital gain yield + 4% Dividend yield = 8%

Growth rate = 4% = 4/ 100 = 0.04

D1 = D0(1 + g)

D1 = value of next year's Dividend

D0 = current Dividend yield

g = Constant growth rate

D1 = current stock price * g

D1 = 90 * 0.04 = 3.6

D1 = D0(1 + g)

D0 = D1 / (1+g)

D0 = 3.6 / (1+ 0.04)

D0 = 3.6 / 1.04

D0 = $3.46
