Answer:
The simple rate of return is 37.5%
Explanation:
Simple rate of return is the percentage of return on investment that takes the net annual return cash flow of an investment and compare with initial capital of the investment. It is calculated with this formula:
<u>Total annual return - Depreciation expense</u>
Initial capital outlay
For farmer Joe, the simple rate of return is:
<u>$20,000 + $25,000 + $30,0000 -$0</u> x 100
$200,000
= <u>$75,000</u> x 100
$200,000
= 37.5%
Depreciation expense is assumed to be zero.
Answer: yes
Explanation:this is so because When a union wants to unionize a new group of employees, it must first convince at least 30% of the employees to sign authorization cards. If the union successfully does so, the union then submits the cards to the NLRB for certification. If the NLRB certifies that the union has secured cards from 30% of the employees, it orders that a secret ballot election be held where the employees vote on whether to unionize. Typically, about two months pass between the time the NLRB certifies the cards and the time that the election actually takes place. During these two months, the union and the employer actively campaign for or against unionization. At the election, if a majority of employees vote to unionize, then the NLRB recognizes the union as the sole bargaining representative of the employees. The employer is then required by statute to bargain in good faith with the union to negotiate the “first contract” between the employees and the employer. This employment contract determines the terms and conditions for all employees represented by the union.
Answer:
B. Less than 10%
Explanation:
An addition increase by 10 % in the physical capital stock (which is a factor of production consisting of man made goods like machineries and so on) will lead to a less than 10% increase in the Gross domestic product. This is due to the law of diminishing marginal utility which talks about the consumption increases marginal utility from each additional unit declines. Thus, the more the physical capital stock increases, the GDP will increase at a decreasing rate.
Answer:
The answer is option B. For a levered firm, flotation costs should <u>be spread over the life of a project, thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project.</u>
Explanation:
When a company’s securities are listed on a public exchange, there is a general saying that securities are floated on the exchange. That is how the name flotation costs came about.
Flotation is actually the costs incurred by a company in issuing its securities to public. it is also called issuance costs.
Examples of Flotation costs include charges paid to the investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, registration fees of the securities regulator and the exchange on which the issue is to be listed.
Flotation cost would vary based on several factors, such as company’s size, issue size, issue type (debt vs equity),
In summary, Flotation costs are the cost a company incurs to issue new stock making new equity cost more than existing ones.
Business analysts argue that flotation costs are a one-time expense that should be adjusted out of future cash flows in order to not overstate the cost of capital forever.
It is based on this premise that i chose option B, which states that flotation costs be spread over the life of a project thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project at levered firms.
