A bank wishing to increase its customer base advertises that it has the fastest service and that virtually all of its customers

are served in less than 11 minutes. A management scientist has studied the service times and concluded that service times are exponentially distributed with a mean of 6 minutes. Determine what the bank means when it claims 'virtually all' its customers are served in under 11 minutes.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Given that Honduras is a small economy in Central America, and it keeps a fixed exchange rate with the US, and capital is perfectly mobile, but interest rates are three percent in the US and six percent in Honduras, the explanation of the difference in these interest rates are as follows:

Honduras has a higher interest rate, meaning that its sovereign bonds pay higher values than the American ones, as well as its banks also pay higher interests on their investments compared to American banks.

This is so for a double reason: on the one hand, because the Honduran economy is less reliable than the American economy, which is larger and therefore more solvent and capable of overcoming eventual crises, with which the risk of default is less.

On the other hand, the Honduran economy is more dependent on foreign investment, so it must offer higher interest rates to attract such investments.

Your corporation has a marginal tax rate of 35% and has purchased preferred stock in another company. The before-tax dividend yi
Leni [432]

Answer:

5.37%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We can calculate the company’s after tax return on preferred by using following formula:-

Company’s After Tax Return = Before Tax Dividend Yield Rate on Preferred Stock × [1 - (1 - Dividend Exclusive) × (Tax Rate)]

= 6% × [1 - (1 - 70%) × (35%)]

= 0.06 × [1 - (1 - 0.70) × (0.35)]

= 0.06 × [1 - (0.30) × (0.35)]

= 0.06 × (1 - 0.105)

= 0.0537

= 5.37%

We simply applied the above formula to determine the company after tax return

Quantity demanded price quantity supplied 45 $10 77 50 8 73 56 6 68 61 4 61 67 2 57 refer to the data. suppose quantity demanded
saul85 [17]

a. When the demand increases by 12 units, the equilibrium price rises to $6.2093 and the equilibrium quantity rises to 67.7442 units.

b. The price elasticity of supply (PES) at equilibrium is 0.20. Since the price elasticity is less than 1, we conclude that supply is inelastic.

From the given data, we can see that the equilibrium price is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 68 units.

If the demand increases by 12 units at each point of price decline, the demand equation will be :

Qd = 105 - 6P

and the supply equation will be:

Qs = 51.6 + 2.6P

Since Quantity demanded and supplied are equal at equilibrium, we can equate the demand and supply equations and solve for price (P). Equating the two equations above, we get,

105-6P = 51.6 +2.6P

53.4 = 8.6P

P = $6.2093

Substituting the value of P in the demand equation, we get,

Qd = 105 - (6*6.2093)

Qd = 105 - 6P

Qd = 67.7442 units

b. Calculation of Price Elasticity of supply at equilibrium level.

P₀ = $4

Q₀ = 61

P₁ = $6.2093

Q₁ = 67.7442

% change in quantity = [ (Q_1 - Q_0) / Q_0 ] * 100

% change in quantity = 11.05607%

% change in price = [ (P_1 - P_0) / P_0 ] * 100

% change in price = 55.2325%

Price Elasticity of Supply (PES):

PES  = % change in quantity / % change in price

PES = 11.05607% / 55.2325%

PES = 0.20

The management of Penfold Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $270,000, would last for 5 years,
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $270,000

Cash flow= $60,000

Number of years= 5

Discount rate= 12%

<u>To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:</u>

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:

Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43

Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63

.....

Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61

∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57

<u>Now, the NPV:</u>

NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57

NPV= -53,713.43
