Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Total car = 200

Rate = $29

Computation:

Total increase in rate = a

So , Total decrees in car = 5a

Total income (y) = [200-5a][29+a]

y = 5,800 + 200a - 145a - 5a²

y = 5,800 + 55a - 5a²

y' = dy / da [5,800 + 55a - 5a²]

y' = -10a + 55

in which , y' = 0

0 = -10a + 55

a = 5.5

So , Maximum rate = $ [29+5.5]

Maximum rate = $34.5

maximum income = 5,800 + 55(5.5)- 5(5.5)²

maximum income = 5,800 + 302.5 - 151.25

maximum income = $5951.25

Latesha Moore has a choice at work between a traditional health insurance plan that pays 80 percent of the cost of doctor visits
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Consider the following calculation and analysis

Explanation:

We will analyse from cost perspective, the alternative with lower cost should be selected.

Total no. of doctor visit = 12 monthly visit + 3 times special visit = 15

Cost = 50 * 15 = $750

Under Traditional health checkup plan

Cost of plan = $ 250 + (20% of doctor visiting charges) = 250 + 20% of 750 = $400

Under HMO

Premium = 20 * 12 months = $240

Co payment = 10 * 15 = 150

Total = $ 390

There is a saving of $10 in HMO, so she should opt for this option. Moreover, the benefit of HMO would be the payments are monthly in small installments ,rather than a big outflow as in the case of traditonal plan.

When business writers request information or action that will likely be received positively, they should frontload their message
Scorpion4ik [409]
<span>This requires that the most significant or important statements be placed first, so as to make sure that the audience receives it before anything else. By doing this, the primacy effect will be experienced: the first information the listener or reader perceives will be what is remembered most. This means that the positive information will be remembered, and anything in the middle of the notice will likely be forgotten.</span>

National Home Rentals has a beta of 1.06, a stock price of $17, and recently paid an annual dividend of $.92 a share. The divide
ANEK [815]

Answer:

9.6845%

Explanation:

Market risk premium = Market return - Risk free rate

                             7.3 = 11.2 - Risk free rate

Risk free rate = 3.9%

(1) Use CAPM:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Market risk premium

                        = 3.9% + 1.06(7.3)

                        = 11.638%

(2) Use DDM :

Stock price = [Latest dividend × (1 + dividend growth rate)] ÷ (Cost of equity-dividend growth rate)

$17 = [0.92 (1 + 0.022)] ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.022)

Cost of equity = 7.731%

Cost of equity = average value from using DDM and CAPM

Cost of equity = 0.5 (7.731 + 11.638)

                        = 9.6845%
