The definition of a business is:

There are 300 purely competitive farms in the local dairy market. of the 300 dairy farms, 298 have a cost structure that generat

Stells [14]

Answer:

The percentage rate of return for these 298 dairies is 6%

Explanation:

The percentage rate of return is calculated by dividing the profits by total investment, so the given information in the question is,

profits = $18

investment = $300

percentage rate of return = 18/300 = 0.06 = 6%

7.37 For the net cash flow series, (a) determine the number of possible i* values using the two sign tests, (b) find the EROR us

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The answer is 25.19% .

Note: The values were not stated for the net series cash flows, during my research and i found the complete question and solved it.

Explanation:

From the question given,

The first step is to make use of a table for the net cash flow series

Year 1 2 3 4 5 6

Net cash flow $4100 $2000 $7000 $12000 $700 $800

Then,

Solution : MIRR is defined as modified internal rate of return, It accounts for the positive cash flows with reinvestment by using re-investment rate and negative cash flows are calculated at their present values to keep the fund aside by using finance rate.

As given also reinvestment rate = 20% and finance cost rate = 10%.

Now, from the table given of cash flows, we will calculate the future value of all cash flows in year 6.

FV = 4100*(1+0.20)^5 + 12000*(1+0.20)^2 + 800*(1+0.20)^0 = $28282.11

Now,

By applying the rate of we will computer teh PV of -ve cash flows :

PV = -2000/(1+0.1)^2 + -7000/(1+0.1)^3 + -700/(1+0.1)^5 = -$7346.73

Now MIRR can be calculated by using the formula , MIRR = \√[n]{FV(positive cash flows/PV of negative cash flows)}-1 = \√[6]{28282.11/7346.74)}-1

MIRR = 1.2519-1 = 0.2519 or 25.19%

Therefore, the only value Possible = 25.19% in this case.

The beta of Stock A is –0.4 (indicating that its returns rise when returns on most other stocks fall). If the risk-free rate is

Marianna [84]

Answer:

=2.98%

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return of the stock;

CAPM: r = risk free + beta(market return - risk free)

risk free = 4.5% or 0.045 as a decimal

beta = -0.4

market return = 8.3% or 0.083 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers into the CAPM formula;

r = 0.045 -0.4(0.083 - 0.045)

r = 0.045 -0.0152

r = 0.0298 or 2.98%

Therefore the required return is 2.98%

Which of the following costs do not vary with the amount of output a firm produces? a. average fixed costs b. fixed costs and av

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

d. fixed costs

Explanation:

The fixed cost is the cost which does not change if there is a change in the level of production i.e if the production level is increased or decreased it the fixed cost would remain the same as it is previous before

Therefore according to the given situation, since the fixed does not vary with the amount of firm output

Hence, option d is correct

Mark and Parveen are the parents of three young children. Mark is a store manager in a local supermarket. His gross salary is $7

netineya [11]

Answer:

$367,500

Explanation:

Estimation of the family’s life insurance needs

Using the easy method

Based on the information given we were told that Mark gross salary is $75,000 while is wife

Parveen is a stay-at-home mom this means that we would be using the easy method to estimate the family’s life insurance needs based on Mark gross salary of $75,000 because he is the only one that earn on a monthly basis.

Insurance need =$75,000 x 7 years x 70%

Insurance need = $367,500

Therefore the family’s life insurance needs will be $367,500
