Answer:

One possible explanation is that the Blimpie franchisor is working properly since the franchisees are not receiving proper training and support in order to operate the franchise.

Another reason is that the Blimpie franchise model is simply not efficient (i.e. bad) and it is really hard to operate properly.

On the side of the franchisees, they might not have sufficient working capital since they budgeted higher revenues or lower costs. The franchisor shares the blame for this situation, since before establishing the franchise, the franchisor should request that the franchisee has enough enough working capital to operate the business properly.

Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c) Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555

A job can be done with Machine A that costs $12,500 and has annual end-of-year maintenance costs of $5000; its salvage value aft

sdas [7]

Answer and Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

Present value = Amount ÷ (1 + r)^n

Machine A

Year Amount Discount Factor PV

1 $5,000 1.05 $4,761.90

2 $5,000 $4,535.15

3 $5,000 $4,319.19

Total $13,616.24

Now

Present value of salvage value =$2,000 ÷ 1.05^3 = $1,727.68

Present worth of Machine A is

= -$12,500 - $13,616.24 + $1,727.68

= -$24,388.56

Similarly Present worth of Machine B = -$15,000 - $4,000 ÷ 1.05 -$4,000 ÷ (1.05)^2 - $4,000 ÷ 1.05^3 - $4,000 ÷ 1.05^4 + $1,500 ÷ 1.05^4

=-$24,658.94

Based on the comparison between Machine A and Machine B

Machine A is better because it has higher present worth

Annual worth:

For machine A = -$12,500(A/PA,5%,3) -$5,000+$2,000(A/F,5%,3)

=-$12,500 × 0.367 - $5,000 + $2,000 × 0.317

= -$8,953.5

For Machine B:

= -$15,000(A/P,5%,4) - $4,000 + $1,500(A/F,5%,4)

= -$7,882.16

Based on the comparison between Machine A and Machine B

Machine B is better because it has higher annual worth

Capitalized cost:

Machine A :

= -$12,500+$2,000(P/F,5%,3) - $5,000 ÷ 0.05

= -$12,500 + $2,000 × 0.86 - $5,000 ÷ 0.05

= -$110,772

Machine B :

=-$15,000(P/F,5%,4) - $4000 ÷ 0.05

=-$15,000 × 0.82 - $4,000 ÷ 0.05

= -$93,765.9

Based on the comparison between Machine A and Machine B

Machine B is better because it has lower capitalized cost
