Chris Suit is administrator for Lowell Hospital. She is trying to determine whether to build a large wing on the existing hospit

al, a small wing, or no wing at all. If the population of Lowell continues to grow, a large wing could return $150,000 to the hospital each year. If a small wing were built, it would return $100,000 to the hospital each year if the population continues to grow. If the population of Lowell remains the same, the hospital would encounter a loss of $85,000 with a large wing and a loss of $45,000 with a small wing. Unfortunately, Suit does not have any information about the future population of Lowell.

Answer:

A) Expected monetary value (EMV) is how much money you should expect to receive from different options. The EMV of both options are:

  • EMV large wing = (50% x $150,000) - (50% x $85,000) = $75,000 - $42,500 = $32,500
  • EMV small wing = (50% x $100,000) - (50% x $45,000) = $50,000 - $22,500 = $27,500

Since the EMV of the large wing is higher, then the large wing is the best alternative.

B) If the likelihood of the population growing reduces to 40% and the likelihood that it will remain unchanged increases to 60%, then the new EMVs for both options are:

  • EMV large wing = (40% x $150,000) - (60% x $85,000) = $60,000 - $51,000 = $9,000
  • EMV small wing = (40% x $100,000) - (60% x $45,000) = $40,000 - $27,000 = $13,000

Now the EMV of the small wing is higher, then the small wing is the best alternative.

C) EVPI is the expected value of perfect information, that means how much you are willing to pay to get the information you need to avoid any possible loss or increase your gains.

EVPI = EVwPi - highest EMV

EVwPi = (highest possible outcome of situation 1 x probability of situation 1) + (highest possible outcome of situation 2 x probability of situation 2)

  • situation 1 is the wing being built, and the highest possible outcome is $150,000 when the population grows.
  • situation 2 is not building anything at all, and the highest possible outcome is $0 when the population doesn't grow.

EVwPi = ($150,000 x 40%) + ($0 x 60%) = $60,000

EVPI = $60,000 - $13,000 = $47,000

This means that Chris would be willing to pay a maximum of $47,000 to know the perfect information about what investments should be carried out by the hospital.

O'Brien Ltd.'s outstanding bonds have a $1,000 par value, and they mature in 25 years. Their nominal yield to maturity is 9.25%,
kozerog [31]

Answer:

8.99%

Explanation:

For this question we use the PMT function that is presented on the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Present value = $975

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 9.25%  ÷ 2 = 4.625%

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate,NPER,-PV,FV,type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the PMT is $44.96

Now the annual PMT is

= $44.96 × 2

= $89.92

So, the coupon interest rate is

= $89.92 ÷ $1,000

= 8.99%

serg [7]

Answer:

<u>Executed</u>

Explanation:

Ratification of a contract refers to formally approving a contractual obligation. To dis-affirm refers to back out of a contract wherein the parties to it return the consideration.

A minor, an individual below the age of eighteen years does not have capacity to a valid contract. A minor may void a contract before attaining majority.

When a contract has been signed by both the parties to it, with transaction closed, the contract shall be termed as executed.

In the given case, Luke a minor entered a contract to buy movies. Later upon attaining majority, Luke decides to disaffirm i.e not honor it. The contract in such a scenario shall be considered as formally approved i.e ratified by both parties if it was executed.

In such a case, Luke will have to honor the contract since the disaffirmation period i.e before his attaining majority has lapsed.

Under a periodic inventory system
balandron [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": a physical inventory is taken at the end of the period.

Explanation:

When the general ledger is only updated by the end of a period it is said that the firm is using a periodic inventory system. This approach is implemented because physical inventories could be time-consuming. It is even more helpful for small businesses since their inventory is limited.
