Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is

brought to market) is $33.5 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $11.5 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 50 percent chance of success. Alternatively, Ang can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.25 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 80 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. Calculate the NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market.(Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount. (e.g., 32))

Answer:

The NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market is $22.5 million and  $24.97 million respectively

Explanation:

The computation of the NPV of going directly to market is shown below:

=  Present value of the payoff i.e market × success percentage + Present value of the payoff × failure percentage

= $33.5 million × 50% + $11.5 million × 50%

= $16.75 million + $5.75  billion

= $22.5 million

And, The computation of the NPV of going directly to market is shown below:

=  (Present value of the payoff i.e market × success percentage + Present value of the payoff × failure percentage) ÷ ( 1 + discount rate) - spending amount

= ($33.5 million × 80% + $11.5 million × 20%) ÷ ( 1 + 0.11) - $1.25 million

= ($26.80 million + $2.30  million) ÷ (1.11) -  $1.25 million

= ($29.10 million) ÷ (1.11) -  $1.25 million

= $24.97 million

Credit card debt. The average credit card debt for college seniors in $3262. If the debt is normally distributed with a standard
Reika [66]

Answer:

  • 0.98 approximately
  • 0.25 approximately
  • 0.34 approximately

Explanation:

standard deviation by which debt is distributed  = $1100

average credit card debt for college seniors = $3262

A)  probability that senior owes at least $1000

P (x ≥ 1000 ) = P ( Z ≥ \frac{1000- \alpha }{\beta }  )

where \alpha = average credit card debt = $3262

\beta = standard deviation = $1100

Z = random variable representing credit card debt for college seniors

back to equation P ( Z ≥ \frac{1000- 3262}{1100} )

therefore  P ( z ≥ -2.06 )

                 1 - p ( z ≤ -2.06 )

therefore probability of the senior owing $1000 = 1 - 0.0199 = 0.9801

B) probability that senior owes more than $4000

p ( x ≥ 4000) = P ( Z ≥ \frac{4000 - \alpha }{\beta } )

                     = P ( Z ≥ \frac{4000 - 3262}{1100} )

                     = 1 - p ( Z ≤ 0.67 ) therefore probability that senior owes more than $4000 = 1 - 0.7468 = 0.2514

C ) Probability that the senior owes between $300 and $4000

P ( 3000 ≤ x ≤ 4000) = P ( \frac{3000 - \alpha }{\beta } ≤ Z ≤ \frac{4000 - \alpha }{\beta } )

                                  = P ( \frac{3000 - 3262}{1100} ≤ z ≤ \frac{4000 - 3262}{1100} )

                                  = P ( - 0.24 ≤ z ≤ 0.67 )  

                                 = p ( z ≤ 0.67 ) - p ( z ≤ - 0.24 )        

                                 = 1 - p ( z ≥ 0.67 ) - 1 - p ( z ≥ -0.24 )

                                 = 0.7846 - 0.4052 = 0.3434

Bill Dukes has $100,000 invested in a 2-stock portfolio. $50,000 is invested in Stock X and the remainder is invested in Stock Y
ohaa [14]

Answer:

the portfolio´s beta is 1.65

Explanation:

when the individual calculation of beta has been given, is possible to aggregate them as a weigthed average, so it is possible to apply te next formula

Beta Portfolio=w_{1} *\beta _{1}+ w_{2} *\beta _{2} + .... + w_{n} *\beta _{n}

where w is the weigthed value for each asset, in this particular case we have:

Beta Portfolio = \frac{50.000}{100.000}*1.50 +\frac{50.000}{100.000}*1.70

so with this result we get 1.65

Which section of the statement of cash flows may be prepared using either the direct method or the indirect method?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

b. Operating activities

Explanation:

As we know that there are two methods of cash flow statement. The one method is direct method and the other one is indirect method

Also the financing activities and the investing activities should be same calculated under both the methods

But the operating activities would be calculated differently under both the methods

In the direct method, the cash receipts and cash payment would be adjusted while an indirect method, the changes in working capital would be adjusted

Therefore the option b is correct
