Answer: a. $14.9
b. $3725
Explanation:
a. What is the offer price?
This will be calculated as:
= NAV / (1 - load charge %)
= 13.85 / (1 - 7%)
= 13.85 / (1 - 0.07)
= 13.85 / (0.93)
= $14.9
B. What did Lee pay for his investment?
This will be:
= Number of shares bought × Offer price
= 250 × $14.9
= $3725
Answer:
A.Incorrect
B. Incorrect
Explanation:
a) A manager might reject a proposal using ROI that the manager would accept using residual income
The statement is incorrect. The reverse is true. Using ROI entails the manager comparing the ROI after a project to the ROI before, where implementing a project makes the ROI after to be less than what it before the project, the Manager would most likely not implement the project. This would happen notwithstanding that the project produces positive residual income.
b) Managers will be more likely to pursue projects that will benefit the entire company when being evaluated on ROI instead of residual income.
This statement is incorrect. ROI makes the manager to pursue his own interest and that of its division at the expense of the group objectives. It leads to sub-optimal decision
Answer:
$961.54
Explanation:
To calculate the real price of the TV you would have to determine the present value of the TV's price. The future price of the TV is $1,000 and your discount rate is 4% annual (the same as your bank), so the present value of the TV =
present value = future value / (1 + rate) = $1,000 / 1.04 = $961.54
Answer:
20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)
Explanation:
The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.
In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.
Scenario A
When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.
Scenario B
When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.
Lobbying or providing information supporting their policy positions to legislators, is a visible role played by interest groups.
Lobbying are efforts that are directed primarily at the national level; committees of Congress that consider legislation, and executive departments. Those involved depend on their personal relationship with members of Congress and the executive branch, which are based on keeping in regular contract.
