Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": cost-benefit assessment.
Explanation:
Cost-benefit assessment implies analyzing what the costs and benefits of engaging in business are. The approach aims to minimize losses and maximize benefits. It does not necessarily imply there are not going to be losses during the business cycle but could reduce them as much as possible.
Answer: Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
If the potential GDP is 70 and economy is in recession. Potential GDP is the GDP of an economy which can be achieved with the best utilization of economy's resources.
The amount of the shortfall in planned aggregate expenditure is equal to the vertical distance between the 45 degree line and the AE = Y, at a level of potential real GDP.
This is also shown by an arrow in the diagram.
Cost of equity capital is closest to: 16 percent
Solution:
WACC is covered on page 120 Corporate Finance, under Capital Structure.
Using the standard equation for WACC = %wt Equity x cost of equity (re) + %wt Debt x cost of debt (rd).
Since there is a 20% tax rate for the firm, the cost of borrowing is reduced by that amount. So the cost of debt is 4%, not 5%.
Plug the formula: 10% = 50% x re + 50% x 4%
The formula ( i.e. 0.1+(0.1-0.05)(1)(1-0.2)) in CFAI reading is questionable.
The calculation is 0.1+(0.1-0.05*(1-0.2))*(1)=16%
Answer:
seven
Explanation:
The size of work group is very important since smaller groups tend to be more efficient and finish tasks faster, but they are also less diverse. Ideally if a manager is looking for an efficient group, it should have between 3-5 members. Now if Joe is worried about the lack of diversity, he should consider adding a couple more people, but not that many more. Individual contribution and productivity decreases as the group increases in size.
If you want to enhance creativity and problem solving abilities, you should form diverse groups that include employees with different functional expertise and education.
Out of the possibilities, I would personally choose seven people to form a group in order to keep productivity high and also diversity and creativity.
