Answer:
14.34%
Explanation:
To find the percentage of returned surveys over the total we divide and then multiply:
(717/5000)*100= 14.34%
The response rate appears to be low because it is less than 50% (which would be 2500 return surveys). Some statistical studies agree that 30 is the minimum number of observations a study must have, but this number does not ensure statistically significant results.
The problem with a very low response rate is that survey´s answers does not significant represent the study population characteristics and so we cannot make inferences, correlations or regressions that are statistically significant. In this case, the conclusions that scientists make about association between the left-handed population and right-handed population with the use of cell phone calls could be wrong or not represent the population characteristics, which means answers are not trustful.
Answer:
$1,081,434
Explanation:
<em>At indifference point, the present value of cash outflow equals present value of cash inflow.</em>
Present value of cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * PV annuity factor (12%, 5 years)
Present value of cash inflow = $300,000*3.60478
Present value of cash inflow = $1,081,434
So, the amount at which the firm would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the investment is $1,081,434.
The question is incomplete:
Clare, a florist, opened a new store and wanted to purchase a new refrigeration display cabinet for fresh-flower arrangements. She entered into a deal with Alpha Refrigeration Systems for two refrigeration units at $600 each. But, after delivering the units, the salesperson demanded another $100 as delivery charges, which was not mentioned in the deal. Identify the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson.
-Good guy-bad guy routine
-Browbeating
-Red herring
-Trial balloon
-Lowballing
Answer:
-Red herring
Explanation:
-Goog buy-bad guy routine is a strategy in which one person appears to be on your side and when you get to an agreement, this person goes to the bad guy for approval who will renegotiate.
-Browbeating is a strategy in which the buyer tries to affect the saleperson atittude by saying unflattering things.
-Red herring is a strategy in which one of the parties tries to distract the other one from certain isues to get an advantage.
-Trial balloon is an strategy in which one of the parties says something to the other one to get information about its position in the negotiation.
-Lowballing is an strategy in which the buyer makes a really low offer to test the seller.
According to the definitions, the answer is that the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson is red herring because Clara didn't consider the information related to the delivery when purchasing the units as she was probably distracted by other aspects and didn't consider this.
Answer:
a. 6.7%
b. 12.0%
Explanation:
a. DDM
Dividende Discount Method is used to calculate the price of the stock using Dividend, rate of return and growth rate.
Return on equity = [ Dividend x ( 1 + growth rate ) / Price of stock ] + Growth Rate
Return on equity = [ $0.5 x ( 1 + 6% ) / $76 ] + 6%
Return on equity = [ $0.5 x ( 1.06 ) / $76 ] + 0.06
Return on equity = 6.7%
b. SML
Security Market line method uses calculates the cost of capital using following formula
Re = R
f + β ( Rm − R
f )
Rf = Risk free rate
β = stock beta
Rm = Market rate
Re =Expected rate
Re = 5.9% + 1.20 ( 11% - 5.9% )
Re = 12.02%
