Answer:

(i) 2.71 years

(ii) 5.38 years

(iii) Never or 0

Explanation:

1. Payback period:

= Initial cost ÷ cash inflows

= 1625 ÷ 600

= 2.71 years(Approx).

2. Payback period:

= Initial cost ÷ cash inflows

= 3225 ÷ 600

= 5.38 years(Approx).

3. The payback period for an initial cost of $5,100 is a little trickier.

Notice that the total cash inflows after eight years will be:

= 8 × $600

= $4,800

Payback period

= Initial cost ÷ cash inflows

= 5100 ÷ 600

= 8.5

This answer does not make sense since the cash flows stop after eight years, so again, we must conclude the payback period is never.

A stock produced returns of 14 percent, 17percent, and -1 percent over three of the past four years, respectively. The arithmeti

mariarad [96]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

For the standard deviation, we need to use stdev.s function in Ms Excel

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.

A firm has inventory of $46,500, accounts payable of $17,400, cash of $1,250, net fixed assets of $318,650, long-term debt of $1

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The common-size percentage of the equity is c. 66.87 percent

Explanation:

Total asset of the firm = Inventory + Cash + Net fixed assets + Accounts receivable = $46,500 + $1,250 + $318,650 + $16,600 = $383,000

Liabilities = Accounts payable + Long-term debt = $17,400 + $109,500 = $126,900

Basing on Accounting Equation Formula :

Total Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

Owner’s Equity = Total Assets - Liabilities = $383,000 - $126,900 = $256,100

The common-size percentage of the equity = ($256,100/$383,000) x 100% = 66.87%

Answer:

Both equilibrium quantity and interest rate will shift to the right.

Explanation:

A shift to the right on those two factors candidates a general increase in the market.

As a demand for a certain product increase, The producer will match it up by increasing the supply of that product in order to accommodate as many consumers as possible. This will cause the equilibrium between demand and supply increased.

As the consumers base grow, there will be more competitors show up to offer the credits for the customers. This will make the potential income that credit providers decreased. As a response, it is very common for them to raise the interest rates for the credit.
