Answer:

9.53%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

NPER - 9 years

PMT - $1,000 × 8% = $80

Present value = $910.40

Future value = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;PV;FV;Type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the answer would be 9.53%

The expected rates of return on portfolios A and B are 11% and 14%, respectively. The beta of A is 0.8 and the beta of B is 1.5.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Portfolio B has a higher return but more volatile stocks. However it depends on how the individual can tolerate risks.

Explanation:

Expected return= free return + Beta (Expected rate of return – risk free rate)

Portfolio A

6%+ +.8*6%

= 6%+4.8%= 10.8%

Portfolio B

6%+1.5(6%)

6%+9%= 15%

It depends on different factors. Portfolio B has a higher return but more volatile stocks. However it depends on how the individual can tolerate risks.

Ms. Langley is 30 years old and has begun a retirement plan that permits he r to place monthly amounts of $400 into a retirement
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ms. Langley is 30 years old and has begun a retirement plan that permits her to place monthly amounts of $400 into a retirement vehicle, beginning one month from now, for 30 consecutive years.

When Ms. Langley reaches her retirement at age 60, she expects to live for 25 more years. The interest rate is 6%.

First, we need to calculate the amount of money that she will have at age 60, using the following formula.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit= 400

n= 30*12= 360

i= 0.06/12= 0.005

FV= {400[(1.005^360)-1]}/0.005= $401,806.02

Months= 25years*12= 300 months

Monthly= 401,806.02/300= $1,339.35

What organization design aspects of Zara make it so succuccessful ?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The secret to Zara’s success has largely being driven by its ability to keep up with rapidly changing fashion trends and showcase it in its collections with very little delay. From the very beginning, Zara found a significant gap in the market that few clothing brands had effectively addressed. This was to keep pace with latest fashion trends, but offer clothing collections that are a combination of high quality and yet, are affordable. The brand keeps a close watch on how fashion is changing and evolving every day across the world. Based on latest styles and trends, it creates new designs and puts them into stores in a week or two. In stark comparison, most other fashion brands would take close to six months to get new designs and collections into the market.

It is through this strategic ability of introducing new collections based on latest trends in a rapid manner that enabled Zara to beat other competitors. It quickly became the people’s favourite brand, especially with those who want to keep up with fashion trends. Founder Amancio Ortega is famously known for his views on clothes as a perishable commodity. According to him, people should love to use and wear clothes for a short while and then they should throw them away, just like yogurt, bread or fish, rather than store them in cupboards.

The media often quotes that the brand produces “freshly baked clothes”, which survive fashion trends for less than a month or two. Zara concentrates on three areas to effectively “bake” its fresh fashions:

Shorter lead times (and more fashionable clothes): Shorter lead times allow Zara to ensure that its stores stock clothes that customers want at that time (e.g. specific spring/ summer or autumn/ winter collections, recent trend that is catching up, sudden popularity of an item worn by a celebrity/ socialite/ actor/ actress, latest collection of a top designer etc.). While many retailers try to forecast what customers might buy months in the future, Zara moves in step with its customers and offers them what they want to buy at a given point in time.

Lower quantities (through scarce supply): By reducing the quantity manufactured for a particular style, Zara not only reduces its exposure to any single product but also creates artificial scarcity. Similar to the principle that applies to all fashion items (and more specifically luxury), the lesser the availability, the more desirable an object becomes. Another benefit of producing lower quantities is that if a style does not generate traction and suffers from poor sales, there is not a high volume to be disposed of. Zara only has two time-bound sales a year rather than constant markdowns, and it discounts a very small proportion of its products, approximately half compared to its competitors, which is a very impressive feat.

More styles: Rather than producing more quantities per style, Zara produces more styles, roughly 12,000 a year. Even if a style sells out very quickly, there are new styles waiting to take up the space. This means more choices and higher chance of getting it right with the consumer.

Zara only allows its designs to remain on the shop floor for three to four weeks. This practice pushes consumers to keep visiting the brand’s stores because if they were just a week late, all the clothes of a particular style or trend would be gone and replaced with a new trend. At the same time, this constant refreshing of the lines and styles carried by its stores also entices customers to visit its shops more frequently.

In the following sections, the key components of Zara’s winning formula in the fashion retailing industry are illustrated.

A Feather Friends, Inc., distributes a high-quality wooden birdhouse that sells for 20 per unit. Variable costs are 8 per unit,
Inga [223]

Variable expenses 20,000 advertising be increased with profits remaining unchanged.

Calculation of this year's operating income

Sales                             20000*1.25*(20*(1-0.1))          $450,000

Variable expenses      20000*8*1.25                          $200,000

Contribution margin                                                     $250,000

Fixed expenses          180000+30000                       $210,000

Net operating income                                                 $40,000

Thus, this year’s net operating income would be $40,000.

Working note

Calculation of units sold last year.

Units sold = Total sales revenue-Sale price per unit =$400,000 - $20 =20,000.

The retail price per unit is reduced by 10%, resulting in a revised retail price of $18 per unit and 20% more units sold. Therefore, the revised sales units would be 25,000, and the total sales for the year would be $450,000, calculated by multiplying the 25,000 units sold by the selling price per unit of $18. Variable expenses increase as the number of units sold improves, so the revised variable cost is the number of units sold multiplied by $8, resulting in a variable cost of $200,000. Variable costs of $200,000 are deducted from sales of $450,000 resulting in a contribution margin of $250,000. Fixed costs increased by $30,000, resulting in revised fixed costs of $210,000 and a net operating income of $40,000. This is calculated as a contribution margin of $250,000 minus fixed costs of $210,000.
