GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

Answer: Market Efficiency

Explanation:

It is important that the Government as a regulator should not get involved in acts that would protect individual institutions from failure because that would defeat the whole purpose of a competitive industry.

If a government is known to directly involve itself in the protection of institutions from failure, efficiency in institutions may become low because of the lack of fear of failure as companies believe that should they run into bad times, they will simply be bailed out by the government so there is no need for them to maintain a competitive edge.

This can lead to a situation where we have companies performing sub optimally in an economy which can only act to reduce the Economic growth of a country.

Government institutions usually have such backing and in a lot of countries are prone to failure. Look at the Bamangwato Concessions Limited (BCL) mine in Botswana for instance that kept failing and refusing to improve it's efficiency because they could always run back to the government for a bailout. Their position eventually became so untenable that bankruptcy was the only option.

The daily demand for parts from a machining workcell JMB to an assembly workcell is 1,600 units. The average processing time is
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Daily demand for parts = 1600 units

Avg processing time = 25 seconds.

Capacity of a container = 250 units

Waiting time of a container before the JMB = 6 hours

Number of containters currently deployed = 10

Solution:

Total number of parts carried by the containter = 10 x 250 = 2500 parts.

Total numbers carried in excess as safety stock = 2500-1600 = 900

Percentage of safety stock = (900/1600) x 100 = 56.25%

If one container is removed total parts carried = 2250 units

Processing time at machine for 250 parts after loading in JMB = 250 x 25 seconds = 1.736 hours, but it has to wait for another 4.26 hours for the next container to be loaded because of the waiting time of the containter is 6 hours.

Processing time at machine for 1600 parts = 1600 x 25 seconds = 11.11 hours

Number of containers required for 1600 parts = 1600/250= 6.4 ~ 7 containters

Waiting time of 7 containers = 7 x 4.26 = 29.82 hours.

If one of the containers has to be removed 1600 parts has to be carried in 6 containers ie., 29.82hours - 6 hours = 23.82hours

Waiting time per container before loading = 23.82/6 = 3.97 hours.

Reduced Total waiting time of the container = 3.97 hours + the processing time of 250 parts = 3.97 + 1.736 =5.7hours ~ 5 hours and 42 minutes

You have been given the following return information for a mutual fund, the market index, and the risk-free rate. You also know
babymother [125]

Answer:

Sharpe ratio = 0.20

Treynor ratio = –0.005

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of average rate of returns, standard deviations and beta used in the calculation below.

a. Calculation of Sharpe ratio

Sharpe ratio refers to a  investment measurement that employed to measure the an investment actual that has been adjusted for the risk associated with the investment.

Sharpe ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Sharpe ratio = (Average fund rate - Average Risk Free rate) / Standard deviation of fund rate = (5.46% - 2.40%) / 15.05% = 0.20

a. Calculation of Treynor ratio

Treynor ratio refers to investment measurement that is calculated to show the risk of certain investments after the volatility of the market has been taking into consideration.

Treynor ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Treynor ratio = (Average market return rate - Average Risk Free rate) / Beta = (1.96% - 2.40%) / 87.53% = –0.005

Operating activities                                            

Net income                                                         59,000

Add Depreciation                                                 7600

Less gain from sale of machinery                      (2900)

Increase in Inventory                                          (8,600)

Increase in accounts payable                              3,300

Decrease in accounts  receivable                      <u>  6,600</u>

Cash flow from Operating activities                  65,000

Investing activities

Cash received from sale of  machinery              11,300

Financing activities

Cash paid for dividends                                      (4,600)

Net cashflow                                                        71,700

Cash balance at prior year-end                       <u> </u><u>43,600</u>

Cash balance at current year-end                  <u> 114,300</u>

Explanation:

The indirect method of cashflow statements starts with the cashflows from the operating activities to Financing and then investing activities.

An increase in an asset other than cash is a decrease in cash and vice versa. An increase in a liability is an increase in cash and vice versa. We add or subtract none cash items like depreciation, gain on asset disposal etc.

Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Anywhere State University increases its tuition. Will this necessarily result
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

1. That will not necessarily result in more revenue because it depends on the price elasticity of demand for the schools tuition fees

Explanation:

Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Anywhere State University increases its tuition.

1. That will not necessarily result in more revenue because it depends on the price elasticity of demand for the schools tuition fees

2. Under the conditions that price is in-elastic, revenue will rise,

Under the conditions that price is elastic, revenue will fall,

Depending on the mix of reaction, if there is a 50% elasticity and 50% in-elasticity, revenue may remain the same.

3. Explain this process, focusing on the relationship between the increased revenue from students enrolling at ASU despite the higher tuition

<em>This would mean that schooling at ASU has an inelastic demand as earlier stated.</em>

4. Explain the process of  lost revenue from possible lower enrollment.

<em>This would mean that schooling at ASU has an elastic demand as earlier stated.</em>

5. If the true price elasticity were -1.1, what would you suggest the university do to expand revenue?

<em>Above unitary elasticity implies that the demand for the school is very elastic i.e. revenue will fall with increase in tuition fees</em>

<em />

6. If I were the president of ASU, I would tackle this problem <em>based on what I have learned about price elasticity by reducing tuition fees a little to increase revenue much more since the price elasticity is above 1.</em>

According to the two-factor theory proposed by Herzberg, which of the following factors is considered a hygiene factor? promotio
givi [52]

Answer:

Quality of supervision

Explanation:

Herzberg's 2 factor theory included motivational factors and hygiene factors.

Motivational factors are those which enable an employees or a workers to contribute their best efforts with utmost efficiency.

Hygiene factors on the other hand convey to the contrary i.e such factors lead to a reduction in the productivity and efficiency of workers.

One of the hygiene factor specified by Herzberg is supervision as per which poor supervision or command leads to job dissatisfaction among workers.

An organization must eliminate hygiene factors so as the employees are motivated to work and contribute optimally towards attainment of organizational goals.
