Answer:
(a) 8.90%
(b) $102.04
Explanation:
(a) Market capitalization rate i.e. expected return:
= Risk free rate + Beta (Market return - Risk free rate)
= 4% + 0.70 (11% - 4%)
= 8.90%
Therefore, the market capitalization rate is 8.90%.
(b) Intrinsic value of stock:
= Expected dividend ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)
= $5 ÷ (8.90% - 4%)
= $102.04
Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock is $102.04.
Answer:
A) Pilot strategy
Explanation:
Under a pilot strategy, before a new system is fully implemented, it is first subjected to testing under a given situation by using it in selective parts of the organization , to assess it's compatibility with the situation or if the system requires necessary changes.
This could also be a kind of experimentation to evaluate the feasibility of a system before deciding upon it's final implementation.
If the system under consideration matches the desired results, the organization proceeds with it's full implementation in the entire organization.
If not, necessary changes need to be incorporated in the system.
Answer:
No, we can’t say
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to decide if we can say that Guatemala’s standard of living grew more than that of the US’ standard of living between the years 1993 and 2003 given the pointers in the question.
We cannot say that this is correct because of the following reasons;
As observed from the question, the US growth rate was calculated between the years 1948-2003, which is indicative of a 55 year span. Now, comparing this with that of Guatemala, we can see that the span here is just 10 years I.e from 1993 to 2003.
Also, we were not provided with the population growth rate in both countries and this makes it difficult to judge which of the two countries have a better growth in terms of standard of living
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The above question is based on a non-linear programming model, to answer this question, there will be a need to determine the optimal order quantities of the three different Ferns with diverse values of annual demand, item cost as well as order cost objective of the non-linear programming model is to minimize the overall annual cost.
Step 1: Setup a spreadsheet on Excel, as shown in the first and second attached images below:
Note: The values of quantities of the three items is kept as 1 to for the calculations of total cost.
The Solver dialogue box will appear. Enter the decision variables, objective function and the constraints, as shown in the third attached image below:
