Answer:

The annualized return is 14.82%

Explanation:

The formula for annualized return is given as Annualized return = (1+ holding return)12/n - 1

Holding return is 8.4%

n is the holding period of 7 months

Annualized return =(1+0.084)^(12/7)-1

Annualized return =14.82%

It is wrong to simply calculate annualized return as 8,4%*12/7,which means one is taking the interest to annual interest by proportional method,as this gives 14.40%, in investment every basis point counts.

The difference between the two figures is 0.42% which could translate into millions depending on the amount invested as well as the duration of investment

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a.To implement the corporate valuation model, we discount projected free cash flows at the weighted average cost of capital.

Explanation:

Common sense requires that like should be compared like, the free cash flows are meant for all providers of finance, debt, and equity stockholders alike, hence, in discounting the free cash flows to firm, the discount rate is the one that captures the overall cost of finance to the firm which is the weighted average cost of capital, hence, option "a" is correct.

Net income and NOPAT cannot be discounted since they are not  cash flows

In the same vein,the free cash flows which are meant for debtholders and stockholders cannot be discounted at the cost of equity which is only an equity required rate of return

The supply function for good X is given by Q x s = 200 + 4P X - 3P Y - 5P W, where P X is the price of X, P Y is the price of go
MissTica

Answer: 1300

Explanation:

From the equation,

Qxs = 200 + 4Px - 3Py - 5Pw

where

Px = price of X = 500

Py = price of y = 250

Pw = price of input w = 30

Putting the figures back into the supply equation, we have:

Qxs = 200 + 4Px - 3Py - 5Pw

= 200 + 4(500) - 3(250) - 150

= 200 + 2000 - 750 -150

Qxs = 1300
