Answer:

Explanation:

Real interest rate is the interest rate that has been adjusted for the effect inflation.

Wilson’s is reviewing a project with an internal rate of return of 13.09 percent and a beta of 1.42. The market risk premium is
maria [59]

Answer:

Accepted and rejected

Explanation:

Since the internal rate of return is 13.09% and the WACC is 12.68%

As we can see that the internal rate of return is higher than the WACC as WACC is considered as the discount rate

So the project should be accepted

And, if CAPM is used

So, the expected rate of return is

If CAPM is used

Risk-free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 2.9% + 1.42 × 8.1%

= 2.9% + 11.502%

= 14.40%

And, The Internal rate of return  = 13.09%

Since the internal rate of return is less than the expected rate of return therefore the project should be rejected

Outdoor Company is located in Kirkland, Washington, where the city and the state have minimum wage laws. Outdoor pays its starti
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the highest of the minimum wages.

Explanation:

The company will have the pay the minimum wage that is the highest because they are under the authority of all three governments and paying the highest minimum wage would ensure that they automatically follow the minimum wages set by the other two authorities.

For instance; the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, the state minimum wage is $10 per hour and the city minimum is $12 per hour. When the company pays $12 an hour, they would be adhering to the city minimum and automatically adhering to the Federal and State minimums as well.

What would be the consequences if managers of a firm evaluated a project based on its actual dollar cash flows, but used a real
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Real rate of returns are lower than nominal rates of return, therefore, using a real discount rate would overestimate a project's net present value. This could result in unprofitable projects being accepted because the NPV was erroneously calculated. If you want to use a real discount rate, you must first convert cash flows to real dollars.

For example, nominal discount rate is 10%, inflation rate is 5%, real discount rate is 5%.

Initial outlay $100

NCF year 1 = $40

NCF year 2 = $40

NCF year 3 = $40

Using the real discount rate, the NPV = $8.93

Using the nominal discount rate, the NPV = -$0.53

What is an example of statistical reasoning?
zubka84 [21]

Answer/Explanation:

Statistics educators often talk about their desired learning goals for students, and invariably, refer to outcomes such as being statistically literate, thinking statistically, and using good statistical reasoning. Despite the frequent reference to these outcomes and terms, there have been no agreed upon definitions or distinctions. Therefore, the following definitions were proposed by Garfield (2005 and have been elaborated in Garfield and Ben-Zvi (2008).

Statistical literacy is regarded as a key ability expected of citizens in information-laden societies, and is often touted as an expected outcome of schooling and as a necessary component of adults’ numeracy and literacy. Statistical literacy involves understanding and using the basic language and tools of statistics: knowing what basic statistical terms mean, understanding the use of simple statistical symbols, and recognizing and being able to interpret different representations of data (Garfield 1999; Rumsey 2002; Snell 1999)
