Answer:

Nominal rate of return= 7.11%

Explanation:

Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money  

Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.  

Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.  

The relationship between inflation, real interest and nominal interest rate is given using the Fishers Effect;  

N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1  

N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation  

real rate - 2.2%, inflation - 4.8%

Nominal rate of return =(1.022)× (1.048) - 1 = 0.071056

Nominal rate of return = 0.071056 × 100 = 7.1056 %

Nominal rate of return= 7.11%

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

C) more than 5Y

Explanation:

the opportunity cost of producing 101 units of X = 5 units of Y

if the opportunity costs increase as the number of units produced increases, then the opportunity cost of producing 201 units of X will be more than 5 unit of Y. This is simply because 5 units of Y was the opportunity cost of producing 101 units of X and the opportunity costs are increased.

JKL has 3 million shares of common stock outstanding and 80,000 bonds outstanding. The bonds pay semi-annual coupons at an annua
mylen [45]

Answer:

54.48%

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of equity is given below;

But before that we need to do the following calculations

Total Equity

= 3 million shares × $30

= $90 million

The Value of Debt,

Total Debt = 80,000 (1,000)(0.94)

= $75.2 million

Now the weight of equity is

= $90 million ÷ ($90 million + $75.2 million)

= 54.48%

When making decisions, managers should consider all relevant benefits and relevant costs, which include: (Check all that apply.)
attashe74 [19]

Answer: e. a, b and c

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are very important costs to look at because they help a company know if they are picking the best alternative available to them.

Out-of-pocket costs are also quite important because the company needs to know if there is a chance that they will have to pay for special features in the project that are not part of the original project but need to be paid for anyway as these monies come out of the cash reserve.

Incremental costs focus on the additional costs involved in a project and so are very important. When making a decision for processing a good further for instance, management needs to know if the incremental cost will be covered by the extra profit that will be gained.

The cost, in dollars, to produce x designer dog leashes is C ( x ) = 8 x + 3 , and the price-demand function, in dollars per lea
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

Explanation:

The Profit function is the revenue minus the cost.

Revenue = Price x Quantity =  X.px = x(88-2x) = 88x - 2x^2

Therefore the profit function P (x):  

P (x)  =  88x - 2x^2 - (8x+3)

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

To maximise profit we use the 1st order condition: dP(x)/dq = 0

Therefore,  80 - 4x = 0

4x = 80

x = 20

So 20 leashes maximises profit.

P(x) = 80(20) - 2(20)^2 - 3

<em><u> P = $803  </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

The price to charge would be:

<u><em>p (x) = 88 - 2(20) = $48</em></u>

<u><em>The best reason would be that the price is a bit expensive for a leash so most people would not buy it.</em></u>

You have a $50,000 portfolio consisting of Intel, GE, and Con Edison. You put $20,000 in Intel, $12,000 in GE, and the rest in C
Marrrta [24]

Answer: 1.048

Explanation:

First let us calculate the amount in Con Edison

= 50,000 - 20,000 - 12,000

= $18,000

To calculate the Portfolio Beta, you take the sum of the respective betas of the various stocks in the portfolio multiplied by their proportion in the portfolio.

Intel = 20,000/50,000

= 2/5

GE = 12,000/50,000

= 6/25

Con Edison = 18,000/50,000

= 9/25

Adding them up we will have

= (1.3*2/5) + (1*6/25) + (0.8*9/25)

= 1.048
