You are considering adding a new food product to your store for resale. You are certain that, in a month, minimum demand for the

product will be 5 units, while maximum demand will be 8 units. (Unfortunately, the new product has a one-month shelf life and is considered to be waste at the end of the month.) You will pay $70/unit for this new product while you plan to sell the product at $100 ($30/unit profit). The estimated demand for this new product in any given month is 5 units (p=0.2), 6 units (p=0.2), 7 units (p=0.4), and 8 units (p=0.2).

Answer:

Using EMV analysis, the number of units of the new product should be purchased for resale = Purchase 7.

The maximum EMV of profit you can make is 270.

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem

Solution:

Using EMV analysis,

EMV (Purchase 6 for resale)= 6(40)(0.1) + 6(40)(0.4) + 6(40)(0.5)=240

EMV (Purchase 7 for resale) = [6(40)-60](0.1) +7(40)(0.4) + 7 (40)(0.5) = 270

EMV (Purchase 8 for resale) = [6(40)-2(60)] (0.1) + [7 (40) - 60] (0.4) + 8(40)(0.5)= 260

Largest EMV= 270; Choose to purchase 7 units for resale.

The risk-free rate is 2.3 percent and the market expected return is 12 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that has
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The expected return = 10.739.

Explanation:

Given risk-free rate of return = 2.3 per cent

Market expected return = 12 percent  

The value of beta = 0.87

Use the below formula to find the expected return.

The expected return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market expected return - risk free rate of return)

The expected return = 2.3 + 0.87 (12 – 2.3)

The expected return = 10.739

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Price of stock  = $40

Explanation:

According to the dividend growth model, the price of a stock is the present value of expected dividend discounted at the required rate of return.

This is done as follows:

Price of a stock = D×(1+r)/(r-g)

D(1+g) - Dividend for next year = 100%-40%× $3 = $1.8

g- growth rate - 10%

r- required rate of return - 15%

Price of stock = 1.8× (1.1)/(0.15-0.1)

                    = $40
