Answer:

(e) none of the above is true.

Explanation:

<u>Note: The question appeared incomplete. Thus, a similar question has been attached for reference purpose and the question has been solved accordingly</u>

A risk averse investor is defined as someone who is unwilling to assume risk in return for a higher return. As we know, higher the risk, higher would be the return.

An investor with higher degree of risk aversion i.e someone who is averse or against assuming any risk would not prefer a riskier portfolio.

Sharpe ratio depicts return which is earned above risk free rate of return, per unit of risk assumed.

A Risk averse investor would prefer investing at a risk free rate of return despite the return being less.

A risk averse investor would prefer investing in govt treasury bills or government treasury bonds which would offer low but assured return with nil risk.

Thus, the correct option is (e) none of the above is true.

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate <em>0.052787474</em>

5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   100.00

time   60.00

rate  <em>0.052787474</em>

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV  

PV   4.57

<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity  $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

The performance management approach that uses job performance evaluations to identify a company's best, average, and worst perfo
timurjin [86]

The performance management approach that uses job performance evaluations to identify a company's best, average, and worst performing employees, using person-to-person comparisons, is known as "forced ranking".

<h3>What is forced ranking?</h3>

The contentious practice of "forced ranking," which grades employees against one another rather than against performance standards, is very popular in corporate America.

The problem with forced ranking are-

  • This can lead to a lack of motivation and disengagement among employees as well as unneeded internal competition that can harm collaboration, creativity, and innovation and divert attention from market competition.
  • Although contentious, forced ranking systems are legal. Employers who choose to take action based on those rankings, however, run a number of legal dangers.

The forced rankings beneficial from an employee perspective, here are reasons-

  • This system teaches a manager how to assess employees objectively with the right management training.
  • When the management system needs to be improved or formalised, forced rankings are advantageous.
  • An essential component of business is analysing trends and developments.

You have an investment that will pay you 1.18 percent per month. a. How much will you have per dollar invested in one year? (Do
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is $1.15 and for option (b) is $1.33.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Present value (PV) = $1

Rate of interest (R) = 1.18% per month

Time period (for option a) (t1)= 12 months

Time period ( for option b) (t2)= 24 months

So, we can calculate the future value by using following formula:

FV = PV × ( 1 + R )^t

(a). By putting value in the formula:

FV = $1 ( 1 + 0.0118)^12

= $1 × 1.1511610877

= $1.15

FV = PV × ( 1 + R )^t

(b). By putting value in the formula:

FV = $1 ( 1 + 0.0118)^24

= $1 × 1.32517184983

= $1.33
