Over a long period of time Sears has slipped from being America's largest retailer to struggling for survival in recent years. W

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

I think Sears need to stop diversifying its product too much and focus on improving internal human resources.

Explanation:

The largest expense that Sears made occurred during their effort to add more female customers to shop at their place.

Sears was known for its DieHard, Craftsman and Kenmore brands that attract mostly male customers to their stores. They started “The Softer Side of Sears” which focused on adding more products for female customers.

But, in the process of doing so, Sears neglected their already successful male products department with a lot of employees who sacrifice a lot of their time and effort into making Sears as big as it is.

In order to restore to its former glory, Sears need to stop focusing on new market with a lot of strong competitors and focused on improving skill set of employees in their successful department. They can do this by investing in their education, increasing the budget for their research and development, etc.

Emily's trust fund has a value of 100,000 on January 1, 1997. On April 1, 1997, 10,000 is withdrawn from the fund, and immediate

Answer:

(a) Dollar Weighted Rate of return = 0.27

(b) Simple interest-based rate of return = (115000- 100000)/ 100000 = 0.15

(c) Since, the data or investment portfolio of Emily is of one year, we can calculate the money weighted rate of return but time weighted rate of return couldn’t be calculated.

Explanation:

For (a) Dollar Weighted Rate of return = 0.27

<em>Calculations:</em> 115000 = ((-10000) *(1 + r) ^ ((365-90)/365)) + 100000*(1+r)

So, using calculator we found r= 0.27

Here we’ve equated the value of portfolio at Jan 1, 1998 with Value of portfolio on Jan 1, 1997 and using the formula for money weighted average rate of return we’ve found the rate of return. Since, we are taking annual money weighted average rate of return, so we don’t include the value of July cash flow, i.e. $5000.

For (b) Simple interest-based rate of return = (115000- 100000)/ 100000 = 0.15

Since, the distribution of deposits and withdrawals is uniform, so it is simply the newer value minus original value divided by the original value and is most likely to percentage calculation.

(c) Since, the data or investment portfolio of Emily is of one year, we can calculate the money weighted rate of return but time weighted rate of return couldn’t be calculated.

Which statement is the converse of the given statment

pochemuha

Might seem controversial though :) but I am pretty sure that the correct variant that properly shows the converse of given statement is the third one. As you know, the converse (in plane language) has the same meaning of the statement just by replacing two points. This statement has positive tone (if you make - you ll have) so it's directly coincides with C(you have, cause you have made)

The following data pertain to an investment proposal (Ignore income taxes.):

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The closest answer is option A,$7649

Explanation:

The net present value of the investment is the present value of annual cost savings minus the initial cost of investment.

present of cash flow=cash flow/(1+r)^n

r is the discount rate of 12%

n is the year the cash flow relates to ,for instance year zero for the initial investment

NPV=-$54,000+$16,000/(1+12%)^1+$16,000/(1+12%)^2+$16,000/(1+12%)^3+$16,000/(1+12%)^4+($16,000+$7,000)/(1+12%)^5=$ 7,648.41

note that the project gives $7,000 in salvage value in year 5
