Answer:

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return of a stock is the mean return that is expected to be earned by the stock considering the different scenarios that can occur, the return in these scenarios and the probability of the occurrence of these scenarios. The formula for expected rate of return of stock is,

rE = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  + pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability that scenario A, B and so on will occur or the probability of each scenario
  • rA, rB, ... represents the return in scenario A, B and so on

rE = 0.21 * 0.2  +  0.72 * 0.15  +  0.07 * -0.02

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%

In some simple models of trade, a country may choose to specialize in the production of a single good. which is not an argument
LekaFEV [45]

An argument that is not against specializing in a single good in the real world is that specialization in a single good makes dumping easier and more effective.

If a country specializes in a single good, less waste will be produced and it can be dumped easily at one place and can be used or recycled more easily than to dump several different kinds of goods as they will need different technologies and to segregate them will be a hard job to do.

Countries improve their production of the commodity in which they specialize. There are many benefits to consumers if a country does so as specialization lowers the opportunity cost of production, increasing global production and lowering prices. These reduced pricing and increased supply benefit consumers.

Matt purchased a 20-year par value bond with an annual coupon rate of 8% compounded semiannually for a price of 1722.25. The cou
finlep [7]

Answer:

(b) 1440

Explanation:

As the coupon rate of 8% is greater than the yield to maturity (YTM) of 6% annually, the bond is selling at a premium. Hence, the bond will be called at the earliest i.e. 15 years.

Coupon = Call Price * Semi-annual coupon rate = X * [0.08 / 2] = X * 0.04

Yield to call = 6% annually = 3% semi-annually

Time = 15 years * 2 = 30

We know that,

Current Price of bond = Coupon * [1 - (1 + YTC)-call date] / YTC + Call Price / (1 + YTC)call date

  • 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * [1 - (1 + 0.03)-30] / 0.03 + [X / (1 + 0.03)30]

  • 1,722.25 = [X * 0.04] * 19.60 + [X * 0.41]

  • 1,722.25 = X * [(0.04 * 19.60) + 0.41]

  • 1,722.25 = X * 1.194

  • X = 1,722.25 / 1.194
  • X=$ 1,442.42 \approx $ 1,440

A firm incurs $400 to manufacture a television. In the market, customers are willing to pay a maximum of $600 for the television
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

D. Economic value created.    

Explanation:

The reason is that the economic value created is the difference between the price the customer is willing to pay and the cost that the product actually costs to the firm.

Following is the formula for calculation of economic value created:

Economic Value Created = Value customer willing to pay   -  Cost of product

Here the television costs $400 to the firm and the customer is willing to pay $600 for the television. So by putting the values we have:

Economic Value Created = $600 - $400 = $200

So the correct option is option D.
