Answer:

Answer is 43.309.

Explanation:

First we have to find the mean to evaluate standard deviation. Hence,

$97, $102, $56, $26, $3/5

=56.8

Now find standard deviation using the attached formula,

Squareroot,Summation(97-56.8)^2+(102-56.8)^2+(56-56.8)^2+(26-56.8)^2+(3-56.8)^2/4

Squareroot1616.04+2043.04+0.64+948.64+2894.44/4

Squareroot1875.7

=43.309.

Answer:

Standard deviation= $43.309

Explanation:

Standard deviation can be defined as a measure of dispersion of a set of values from their mean. When standard deviation is low it means the variables are close to their mean. While if standard deviation is high the variables are far away from the mean.

The mean= (sum of the values)/number of values

Mean= (97+102+56+26+3)/5

Mean= $56.80

Standard deviation= √(Σ(x- mean)^2/number-1

Standard deviation= √{(97-56.8)^2+ (102-56.8)^2+ (56-56.8)^2+ (26-56.8)^2+ (3-56.8)^2}/5

Standard deviation= √(1616.04+2043.04+0.64+948.64+2894.44)/5-1

Standard deviation= √7502.8/4

Standard deviation= $43.309

Miltmar Corporation will pay a year-end dividend of $5, and dividends thereafter are expected to grow at the constant rate of 4%
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a. 10.04%

b. $82.78

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

a. Expected rate of return or market capitalization = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 5% + 0.72 × (12% - 5%)

= 5% + 0.72 × 7%

= 5% + 5.04%

= 10.04%

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.

b. Now the intrinsic value would be

= Expected dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)  

= $5 ÷ (10.04% - 4%)

= $5 ÷ 6.04%

= $82.78

madam [21]

Answer:

b. Managers from headquarters staff key positions.

Explanation:

In an international organisation when only managers from the headquarters are allowed to staff key positions, it is an indication of ethnocentric policy on staffing.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

For Dan, the demand is price inelastic

Explanation:

One of the factors tat affect the quantity demand for a product is the price of the product. According to the law of demand, at lower price more quantity of a product would be purchased than at a higer price, all other this being being equal.

Price elasticity of Demand (PED)

The extent to which a change in price will cause a change in the quantity demand for a product is called the price elasticity of demand. It measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price.

It is calculated as

PED =% change in quantity demand / % change in price.

For Dan Newspaper , the price elasticity of demand

             = 4%/8%

            = 0.5

If the PED is greater than 1, the demand is price elastic

If the PED is less than 1 , demand is price inelastic

For Dan, the demand is price inelastic

COGS = The applicable formula is the formula for calculating the cost of goods sold, COGS.

COGS = Beginning inventory + purchases - closing inventory

In this case,  COGS will be 11,000 units:  Beginning balance 1100 and ending balance of 1000.

11,000 = 1100 + P -1000

11,000 = 1100-1000 +P

11,000 = 100 + P

P= 11,000 -100

P= 10,900

Productions should be 10,900
