Correct option: 44 Percent

Inflation rate is general rise in the price of goods and services. Inflation rate can be calculated by calculating the percentage difference in consumer price index.

Inflation rate = \frac{CPI1_{1}-CPI_{0}}{CPI_{10}}

Inflation Rate =\frac{180-125}{125}                        =\frac{55}{125}                        =44 percent

Therefore, Inflation rate would be 44%.

You manage a hedge fund with $400 million in assets. Your fee structure provides for a 1% annual management fee with a 20% incen
skad [1K]

Answer:

b. $6,600,000

Explanation:

The computation of the fee is shown below:

= Annual management fee  + performance management fee

where,

Annual management fee = $400 million × 0.01 = $4 million

And, the performance management fee

= Incentive percentage × hedge fund × excess return

= 20% × $400 million × 3.25%

= $2.6 million

The excess return is

= {($445 million - $400 million) × $400 million -  8%}

= 11.25%  - 8%

= 3.25%

So, the fee is

= $4 million + $2.6 million

= $6.6 million or $6,600,000

Alternative B.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Alternatives:

                                                A            B

First Cost                           $5,000     $9,200

Useful life, in years                4              8

Rate of return                       7%            7%

Annuity factor                   3.387          5.971

Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35

Net cash flow                 $927.25     $1,846.35

b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A.  Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.

If the incentive to take advantage of a conflict of interest is high Question 3 options: A) removing the economies of scope that
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": the costs of non-action in removing the conflict will always be higher than the cost of removing the conflict.

Explanation:

Conflicts of interest arise in organizations when the personal interest of a representative contrasts the interest of the company typically resulting in an unethical action. An example of a conflict of interest is influencing the recruitment of an applicant because the representative knows that person.

<em>In case the cost of conflict is high, even higher will be the cost of non-action in removing the conflict since it will be detrimental for the company's interest over the long run.</em>
