You are the CFO of a major pharmaceutical firm. A division manager has presented senior management with an investment opportunit

y.
The project would require an investment of $95 million today

If the project succeeds, it will be worth $1 billion in a year. You estimate that there is only a 10% chance that the venture would succeed. If it fails, then in a year you will scrap the project and all of your firm’s $95 million investment will be lost.

Whether the venture succeeds or fails is independent of general market conditions.

The risk-free rate is 3%, the expected return of the market is 12%, and the standard deviation of the market return is 20%. Ignore taxes.

What is the NPV of the project?

$775 million

$870 million

$2.1 million

-$95 million

Answer: $2.1 million

Explanation:

It is mentioned the project is independent of the outcome of general market  which means that

=> beta = 0

Using the CAPM formula which is,

r=rt + B* (rm -rf)

=> r = 3% + 0*(12%-3%) = 3%

Expected value of Project in one year = $1 billions * 0.1

Expected value of Project in one year = $100 millions

NPV = Expected value of Project in one year/ (1 + 0.03) - Initial cost

NPV = 100/ (1 + 0.03) - 95

NPV = 97.1 - 95

NPV = $2.1 million

Answer:

$2.1 million

Explanation:

We solve for the expected monetary value at the end of the project:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}State&Return&Probability&Weight\\success&1000&0.1&100\\fail&0&0.9&0\\Total&&1&100\\\end{array}\right]

Then, we have to know at which rate to discount this value so we use CAPM

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.09

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0 (independent from the market threfore no correlation.

Ke= 0.03 + 0 (0.09)

Ke 0.03000

Now we discount:

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

Maturity  $100.00

time  1.00

rate  0.03000

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.03)^{1} } = PV  

PV   97.0874

NPV: 97.0874 - 95 = 2.0874 we round up and get 2.10 presnet value (in millions)

Answer:

The answer is: globalization of production

Explanation:

Globalization of production to the business practice of increasing the flow of production factors from "cheaper" countries in order to lower their production costs. For example, cars are assembled using thousands of different auto parts, a lot of them are produced in the US, but a large portion are imported parts form countries like China, Mexico, EU, etc. Many times the auto parts are manufactured by the same corporation but on different locations, e.g. BMW produces engines in Germany and SUVs in the US, 3M produces auto parts in the US, Brazil, China, Mexico and several other countries and sells them all in the US.

Costs that increase as production increases and decrease as production decreases are:____.
pychu [463]

Costs that increase as production increases and decrease as production decreases are <u>Variable costs</u> .

A Variable cost is a corporate cost that adjusts in percentage to how plenty a business enterprise produces or sells. Variable charges grow or lower depending on a corporation's production or income quantity—they rise as production will increase and fall as manufacturing decreases.

Variable costs are fees that change as the quantity adjustments. Examples of variable fees are raw materials, piece-price hard work, manufacturing components, commissions, delivery fees, packaging substances, and credit score card expenses. In a few accounting statements, the Variable prices of manufacturing are called the “price of products bought.”

Variable fees are fees that alternate as the amount of the coolest or carrier that a business produces modifications. Variable prices are the sum of marginal charges over all units produced. They also can be taken into consideration normal charges. Constant charges and variable fees make up the 2 components of the overall price.

What things make a shoe store front look attractive?
Leviafan [203]
I would say it depends on your intended audience.

In general, a well-organized arrangement of shoes is necessary to demonstrate the store's strengths. There should be some sort of theme--a color, a season, or a style--that appeals to the buyer. Any discounts should be conveyed through a large sign in the background ("15% off all Nike") to further give the buyer a reason to walk in. The display should not be so "busy" as to confuse the buyer, but should not be too "desolate" as to fail to catch the buyer's eye. Also, the stores name and logo should be clearly visible--people like to know who they are buying from.

Now, to the part that depends on your audience.

If you are trying to sell shoes to 7 year old girls, colors and sparkles are helpful.

If you are trying to sell shoes to middle aged businessmen, the display should have a clean-cut, black-and-white aesthetic.

If you are trying to sell shoes to rich, young women, the display should have a sophisticated vibe.

And that is my opinion of the perfect shoe store front! Now I sorta want to open a shoe store...

Hope this helped!

Discuss reasons why a business might choose to sell direct to customers through a website with e-commerce facilities, as opposed
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Businesses might prefer selling direct to customers through a website with e-commerce facilities because:

1. For covering a wider distance, distance is not a barrier.

2. For flexibility for customers, as some e-commerce even accepts cryptocurrency payments.

3. For product and price comparison.

4. For saving cost incurred from having fixed (physical ‘bricks and mortar') premises.

5. For saving the cost of paying workers.

6. For maintaining social distancing protocol given by the government especially during the pandemic. This doesn't put anyone at risk.

Explanation:

The question above asks for justifications why a business might choose to sell direct to customers through a website with e-commerce facilities rather than selling to customers through fixed (physical ‘bricks and mortar') premises.

First, selling to customers through a website with e-commerce facilities involve virtual transactions with customers paying for goods and services they are interested in over the internet. With this, customers can pay with their bank cards through e-commerce websites. While selling through fixed (physical ‘bricks and mortar') premises involve direct contact in-person with the customer and possibly payment is made in cash or through any other accepted methods.
