The correct answer is D. Oligopoly

Explanation:

In economics and related areas, an oligopoly occurs if only a few companies dominate the production or supply of a specific product or service. This differs from a monopoly because in this there is only one company or firm domination. Moreover, in oligopolies as in monopolies competition is imperfect because small firms or new firms cannot compete.

In the case presented, the competitive structure is an oligopoly because three big important firms dominate telecommunication, and therefore this service is controlled by a few companies. Also, due to this, the competition is not fair or perfect because even when the three companies use non-price competition, small companies cannot compete with the three firms.

Short Term Inc. has issued zero-coupon bonds that mature in one year. The returns from holding these bonds have a beta of 0.25.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

1. Current bonds price = $81.86.

2. Yield to maturity  = 22.16%.

3. 3.  Expected Return = 7.5%.

Explanation:

Required Rate = Rf + beta*MRP

          = 5% + 0.25*(15% - 5%)

       = 5% +0.25*10%

              = 5% + 2.5% = 7.5%

 Required Rate = 7.5%

  Expected Future Value = 70% x $100 + 30% x $60

       = (0.7*$100) + (0.3*$60)

       = $(70+18) = $88

    Expected Future Value = $88

1.  Current bonds price = 88/1.075 = $81.86

2.  Yield to maturity = 100/81.86 - 1 = 1.22159785-1 = 0.22159785 =   22.159785% = 22.16%

3.  Expected Return = 7.5%

An investment project has annual cash inflows of $4,200, $5,100, $6,300, and $5,500, and a discount rate of 15 percent. a. What
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

It will take 1 year and 307 days to cover the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $6,900

Cash flows:

Cf1= $4,200

Cf2= $5,100

Cf3= $6,300

Cf4= $5,500

Discount rate= 15%

<u>The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment. We need to discount each cash flow.</u>

<u></u>

Year 1= 4,200/1.15 - 6,900= -3,247.83

Year 2= 5,100/1.15^2 - 3,247.83= 608.50

<u>To be more accurate:</u>

(3,247.83 / 3,856.33)*365= 307 days

It will take 1 year and 307 days to cover the initial investment.

If the monthly income of the IBM employees follows a SYMMETRICAL NORMAL distribution, with a median of $5000 and a standard devi
AURORKA [14]

Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

-------------

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

-------------

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.

What industry cannot rely on estimation
jeka94

There is no industry which can not relay on estimation, all industries needs estimation.

The two primary categories of this profession are construction and manufacturing, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It states that more than half of all cost estimators work in the construction industry, where they may further specialize in projects for homes, businesses, industries, or the government.

Cost estimation aids in setting the project budget, planning the required work, and managing new resources. Cost estimates are also of the utmost importance when trying to win over new clients. Before starting actual building, property owners also utilize cost estimates to evaluate the viability of their projects.
