Answer:

The correct solution is "6.09%".

Explanation:

Given:

Nominal rate,

= 6%

or,

= 0.06

As we know,

⇒ EAR = [(1+\frac{APR}{m} )^m]-1

By substituting the values, we get

             =[(1+\frac{0.06}{2} )^2]-1  

             =[(1+0.03 )^2]-1

             =1.0609-1

             =6.09 (%)

DENIUS [597]

With a mean of 1000 and a standard deviation of 600, the probability that the demand is going to be withing 25 percent of its forecast is 0.3230.

a. Mean = 1000

sd = 600

p(1000x 1-25%) - p(1000x 1+25%)

using the z test

d-μ/σ

p(z < \frac{1250-1000}{600} )-p(z < \frac{-1000}{600} )\\\\(z < 0.4167)-(z < -0.4167)

find values using excel sheet formula

NORMSDIST(0.4167) - NORMSDIST(-0.4167)

=m0.6615 - 0.3385

= 0.3230

<h3>b. The probability that the forecast would be more than 40 percent</h3>

1000x 1+40%

= p(D>1400)

= 1- NormDist(0.667)

= 0.225

c. Cu = 121-72 = 49

Co = 72.50 = 22

The critical ratio calculation

49/22 +49 = 0.6901

Normsinv(0.6901) = 0.496

1000+0.496x600

= 1297

The units that Flextrola has to order is 1297.

<h3>d. The expected sales of Flextrola</h3>

1200-1000/600

= 0.3333

loss function from z = 0.333 is 0.254

600x0.254 = 152. 4

1000-152.4 = 847.6

the expected sales are 847.6

e 1200- 847.6

= 352. 4

The units of inventory that can be sold is 352.4

bazaltina [42]

What will happen if government spending increases by $100 billion is:

Real output will increase by a maximum of $400 billion.

<h3>Government spending</h3>

Using this formula

Multiplier=1/(1-MPC)

Where:

MPC=Marginal propensity to consume =0.75

Let plug in the formula

Multiplier=1/(1-0.75)

Multiplier=1/0.25

Multiplier=4

Increase in GDP= Government spending ×4

Increase in GDP=$400

Inconclusion what will happen if government spending increases by $100 billion is: Real output will increase by a maximum of $400 billion.

Speculative investments are high-risk investments with the possibility of high returns in a short period of time.
bixtya [17]
<span> <span>True. Risk in investment can be defined as the possibility that the investor may lose a big portion or all of the initial investment or make very high returns in a short period. Risk which is often likened to volatility dictates that the higher the volatility the higher the chances of returns. Speculative investments such as leveraged ETFs(commodities such as gold, oil, silver), options, venture capital trusts are considered high risk and often so offer handsome returns or cost the investor all or even more of their initial capital. It is however important to note that high risk does not automatically translate into high returns. The intrinsic value of the investment vehicle among other factors need to be considered in depth to determine if the investment is worth the risk</span></span>
