Answer:

We can conclude that tuition rates at the local community college are rising faster than overall inflation.

This is because from 2015 to 2016, the overall price level rose 10%, from 200 to 2020 (20 is the 10% of 200), while tuition rates rose 15% in the same period, from $100 to $115 (15 is obviously the 15% of 100).

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?

the expected value of our portfolio = ($120,000 x 50%) + ($300,000 x 50%) = $210,000

the current market price of the investment = $210,000 / 1.13 = $185,840.71

discount rate = 5% + 8% = 13%

b. Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be?

13%, it should be equal to the discount rate

c. Now suppose you require a risk premium of 15%. What is the price you will be willing to pay now?

the current market price of the investment = $210,000 / 1.21 = $175,000

discount rate = 5% + 15% = 20%

d. Comparing your answers to (a) and (c), what do you conclude about the relationship between the required risk premium on a portfolio and the price at which the portfolio will sell?

the higher the risk premium, the lower the market price of the portfolio

Return on sales for south drive is lower in year 2 than year 1 what expense is causing this lower?
sergey [27]

The correct answer is d: Interest Expense. The expense that is causing lower profitability is the Interest Expense.

The fee incurred by a business for borrowed cash is known as an interest expense. On the income statement, it is listed as a non-operating expense. It stands for the interest due on all borrowings, including bonds, loans, convertible debt, and credit lines. In essence, it is determined by multiplying the interest rate by the debt's outstanding principal. Instead of the amount of interest paid over the reporting period, interest expense on the income statement shows interest accrued during that time. While interest costs are tax deductible for businesses, they may not be in the case of an individual, depending on their jurisdiction and the purpose of the loan.

Since there are typically lags between interest accruing and interest paid, interest expense frequently appears as a line item on a company's balance sheet.

Alexxx [7]

This is incomplete because the question is missing, here is the missing question and options:

Which phase of team development does this situation describe?

A. Performing

B. Norming

C. Forming

D. Storming

The answer to this question is B. Norming

Explanation:

In team development, norming is the third stage in the process of creating a team and making its members work together. This stage occurs after members have known each other (forming) and had solved their problems (storming). Due to this, during this stage members are able to work together and there are clear roles, which facilitates communication and adaptation. This stage is the one described because roles have been defined "everyone is taking on leadership functions related to their roles" and it seems the integration after three months facilitates communication and changes "report back to the rest of the team and smoothly adjust the project plan."
