Answer:

Sustainable Growth Rate: 2.5%

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate is calculated by multiplying return on equity with retention ratio.

Logic behind above is that whatever portion of net profit is retained by the Company, is used in the Company's operations, which earns certain percentage of equity known as return on equity. By multiplying both return on equity with retention ratio, we assume that the practice will continue for foreseeable future and the Company will continue to grow at the calculated growth rate.

Growth rate = Retention ratio * return on equity

Retention ratio = 50%

Return on equity = Net profit available for distribution / Opening equity

Return on Equity = (25,000 * 10%) / 50,000

Return on Equity = 5%

Growth Rate = 5% * 50%

Growth Rate = 2.5%

An automobile company assembles cars in a plant and purchases batteries from a vendor in china. the average cost of each battery
NemiM [27]

There are three questions in this problem:


First, what is the total number of batteries in the plant for both work in process and raw materials inventory.


Second, how much are the batteries worth?


And lastly, how many days of supply are held in the raw material inventories on average?

 

1. So we know that there are two inventories namely work-in-process and raw material.


For the work-in-process, Little’s law can be straightly applied to look for the amount ofwork-in-process inventory:


Little’s law is Inventory = Throughput × Flow time

Where:

Throughput is the production rate of the plant which is 200 cars per 8-hour shift or 25 cars per hour.


Since we use one battery per car, our throughput rate for the batteries is 25 per hour.


Flow time is 12 hours, so the work-in-process is:


Work-in-process inventory = 25 batteries per hour × 12 hours = 300 batteries

 

Given from the problem that there are 8,000 batteries in raw materials inventory;


so the total number of batteries in the pipeline on average is computed by:


Total inventory = 8,000 + 300 = 8,300 batteries

 

2. The worth of this batteries is computed by 8,300 × $45 = $373,500.

 

3. Remember, that the days of supply in raw material inventory is always the same to the “Flow time” for a battery in raw material inventory.


At this point, we need to assume that the batteries are used in the similar order when they reach the plant. So we need to reorder our Little’s law formula to:


Flow time = Inventory/Throughput


Therefore, flow time = 8,000 batteries / (200 batteries/day) = 40 days

This represents a 40-day supply of inventory.

You borrow $2,500. you are to pay back the loan in 36 monthly payments of $79.50. what true annual interest are you paying to th
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

4.8%

Explanation:

36months*$79.50=$2862

$2862-borrowed 2,500=362

362/3 years=$120 2/3

this means that the interest is 120 2/3 /2500, which is 0.048266, or 4.82, or in your case 4.8%

You are considering investing $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of Treasury bills that pay 5% a
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

amount to be investment in risky portfolio =  $405

amount invest in security x = $243

amount invested in security Y = $162

Explanation:

given data

investing = $1,000

Treasury bills = 5%

optimal weights of X = 60 %

optimal weights of Y = 40 %

expected rate of return x =  14%

expected rate of return y = 10%

solution

we know that

                      weight                     return                     return from risky port

X                     60 %                         14 %                       8.4 %

Y                     40 %                          10 %                       4%

total                                                                                 12.4 %

so here

return from risky portfolio is = 12.4 %

and

return from risk free investment = 5 %

so 'we consider here investment in risky portfolio = x

so investment in risk free  = 1 - x

so we can say that

12.4 % × x + 5 % × (1-x) = 8 %

solve we get

x = 0.405

so investment in risky portfolio = 0.405

so investment in risk free  =0.595

and

amount to be investment in risky portfolio = $1000 × 0.405

amount to be investment in risky portfolio =  $405

and

amount invest in security x = $405 × 60%

amount invest in security x = $243

and

amount invested in security Y = $405 × 60%

amount invested in security Y = $162

In that case, <em>the carrier is likely not to be found liable if the shipping items were incorrectly packaged the sending party</em>.
