Answer:

Project b

Explanation:

The cash payback period calculates how long the amount invested in a project would be recouped from its cummulative cash flows.

Project b should be taken because the amount invested would be recouped in 1.8 years which is less than the 2 years benchmark.

The amount invested in project A would be gotten back in 2.3 years which is greater than the 2 years benchmark. This makes project A unacceptable.

Please find explanations on how this answer was derived in the attached images.

I hope my answer helps you

LO 2.2Variable costs are expenses that ________.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: A: remain constant on a per-unit basis but change in total based on activity level

Explanation: A Variable cost is a cost an organisation incurs that is affected by fluctuations in production and so changes between given periods.

variable costs are not consistent but fluctuates in relation to the production activity of an organisation. Variable costs increases as production level increases and vise versa.

Costs associated with variable costs are those that contribute directly to the goods or service being offered by a business and therefore differ from period to period.

The total costs a company incurs are divided into Variable costs and Fixed costs. variable costs are costs incurred on raw materials, commission, labour, packaging and shipping while fixed costs are costs incurred on rent, salaries, repairs and maintenance, electricity etc.

There were a total of 90 people in the households, 10 of the people were children under 16, 10 of the people were retired but st
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The unemployment rate is 42.85.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the unemployment rate is:

Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed People / Total Labor) x 100 -- (1)

where total labor is the sum of the unemployed people and employed people.

Unemployed People = 10 Retired persons + 5 stay-at home parents + 10 persons with no job + 5 persons who wanted job

Unemployed People = 30

Labor Force = Employed people + Unemployed people

Labor Force = 40 + 30

Labor Force = 70

Putting the values in equation 1,

Unemployment Rate = ( 30/ 70) x 100

Unemployment Rate = 42.85

You are 30 years old today and are considering studying for an MBA. You just received your annual salary of $50,000 and expect i
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes, you should take the MBA because the NPV of taking the MBA is positive.

Explanation:

the total economic costs of taking the MBA program include the lost wages + the costs of taking the MBA and any interest you could have earned by investing it on something else = ($50,000 x 1.03) + ($50,000 x 1.03²) + (2 x $30,000 x 1.08) = $51,500 + $53,045 + $64,800 = $169,345

the present value of your total economic costs:

$51,500/1.08 + $53,045/1.08² + $32,400/1.08 + $32,400/1.08² = $47,685.19 + $45,477.54 + $30,000 + $27,777.78 = $150,940.51

if you continued to work, your salary at year 3 would be $54,636.35 and it would continue to increase by 3% every year. The salary that you can earn with an MBA is $80,000 and it will grow by 4% per year. I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate future salaries and the differential amount between them. Then I calculated the PV at the beginning of year 3 of the differential income.

The PV of the differential income today = $560,281.31 /1.08³ = $444,769.38

the NPV of taking an MBA = $444,769.38 - $150,940.51 = $293,828.87

Suppose that a portfolio has a beta of 1.15. Over the period of one year, the portfolio had a return of 12.4% with a standard de
Darina [25.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Weighted average β = 1.15

Average return (r) = 12.4%

Risk free return (Rf) = 1.2%

Market return (Rm) = 10.2%

Standard deviation (SD) = 16.2%

Computation of Jensen's α :

Jensen's α = r - [Rf + β(Rm - Rf)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 1.15(10.2% - 1.2%)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 10.35%]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - 11.55%

Jensen's α = 0.85%

Computation of Treynor's index :

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / β

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.73913043%

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.74% (Approx)

Computation of Sharpe's index :

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / SD

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 0.69 13%

disa [49]

Answer:

The answer is A. non-operating expense

Explanation:

As he operates a retail shop, such advertising is vital to attract customers to the shops and to make potential sales. We can't treat this expenses as administration or production expenses.

We consider this as non operational because advertising is not an operational part of the operations of a retail business. Moreover, we can't consider it as selling expenses because they are mostly incurred during the sales process.
