When a project has a positive total slack, some activities can be ________ without jeopardizing completion of the project by its

Art [367]

Answer:

Delayed, accelerated

Explanation:

Total or aggregate slack, is the term which is defined for the activity, is the time that this activity could delayed without impacting on the final date of the project.

It can be computed as the:

Smaller value of Late finish - Early finish field

and

Late start - Early start field

So, when project has positive total slack, few activities delayed the completion of project and when the project has negative total slack, then few activities accelerated to finish the project.

You buy a lottery ticket to a lottery that costs $10 per ticket. There are only 100 tickets available to be sold in this lottery

arsen [322]

Answer:

Expected Loss will be $3

Explanation:

Expected Loss can be calculated by multiplying the probabilities to Net expected outcome.

Probabilities

Prize ( $460) = 1 / 100

Prize ( $80 ) = 2 / 100

Prize ( $20 ) = 4 / 100

No prize = 100/100 - (1+2+4)/100 = 93/100

Expected value = [( 460 - 10 ) x 1/100 ] + [( 80 - 10 ) x 2/100 ] + [( 20 - 10 ) x 4/100 ] + [( 0 - 10 ) x 93/100] = 4.5 + 1.4 + 0.4 - 9.3 = -$3

Suppose the Fed carries out an open market sale of $100m and simultaneously decreases the minimum required reserve ratio from 10

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

loanable amount after Fed operation = $950 M

Securities after fed operation = $50 M

attached below is the T-account table

Explanation:

Given data:

For assets : securities = $100 M , Loans = $800 M

For Liabilities : Constant demand deposit = $1000 M

difference between the assets and liability = $100 M and this makes the Banking system unbalanced hence the Banking system needs the intervention of the Fed. and the reduction in the required reserve ratio from 10% to 5% is the right action

How with the reserve ratio reduced to: 0.05

hence required Minimum required securities after operation = 0.05 * 1000 M = 50 M

Note : Total demand deposits = securities + loanable amount

therefore loanable amount after Fed operation = $1000 M - $50 M = $950

Attached below is the T-table

When both tables are compared it can be seen that there is a significant increase in the loanable amount after the Fed's operations and increase in Loanable amount transcends to increase in Monetary base

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change: -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $187.3546

For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV$

PV 761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $657.5166

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV$

PV 162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%
