olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

C. Employees value the rewards or incentives that are being offered

Explanation:

Let's see the different options for answer...

<u>A. Performance measures are to be linked to the individual's goals</u>

No.  Even if the performance measures should be linked to the individual's goals, just the mere existence of such KPI is not sufficient to motivate employees.   There has to be some performance reward attached to it.

<u>B. Employees are given very broad performance goals</u>

No. To get a good performance and motivate employees, they must be given clear goals and objectives.

<u>C. Employees value the rewards or incentives that are being offered</u>

Yes.  Even if you have good performance measurements, with realistic goals, the employees won't be motivated to reach those goals if the reward doesn't worth the effort.

<u>D. Employees are given limited resources to meet their goals</u>

No. They won't be motivated if they don't think they have the means to achieve those goals.

You own a portfolio consisting of the following​ stocks:
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

expected return is 15.8%

portfolio beta is 94.5%

Explanation:

a. EXPECTED RETURN: to calculate the the expected return of, we simply multiply each of the stock percentage by its expected return and then sum it up. thus we have

0.2×0.16 + 0.3×0.14 + 0.15×0.2 + 0.25×0.12 + 0.1×0.24= 0.158

Multiply the result by 100% yields 15.8%

B. PORTFOLIO BETA: to calculate the portfolio beta, we simply multiply the weighted average of the stock percentage by the portfolio beta. thus we have;

0.2×1 + 0.3×0.85 + 0.15×1.2 + 0.25×0.6 + 0.1×1.6= 0.945

multiply the result by 100% yields 94.5%

Bill is considering investing $450 at the end of every month in a fixed income instrument. He will receive $27,000 at the end of
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

11.61%

Explanation:

First, find the annual percentage return (APR) of this annuity. Using a financial calculator, input the following;

Recurring payment; PMT = -450

Future value ; FV = 27,000

Duration of investment ; N = 4*12 = 48 months

One -time present value; PV = 0

then compute interest rate; CPT I /Y= 0.92% (this is monthly rate)

APR = 0.92*12 = 11.035%

Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula is as follows;

EAR = (1+\frac{APR}{m} ) ^m  -1

EAR = 1+\frac{0.11035}{12} )^12 -1

EAR = 1.1161 -1

EAR = 0.1161 or 11.61%

Suppose that a company needs new equipment, and that the machinery in question earns the company revenue at a continuous rate of
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a-The present value of revenue in the first year is $61,085.92.

b-The total time it would take to pay for its price is 2.44 years of 29.33 months.

Explanation:

a-

Let the function of the revenue earned is given as

S(t)=\left \{ {{66000t+38000} {\ \ 0The present value is given as [tex]PV=\int\limits^a_b {S(t)e^{-rt}} \, dt

Here

  • a and b are the limits of integral which are 0 and 1 respectively
  • r is the rate of interest which is 5% or 0.05
  • S(t) is the function of value which is S(t)=\left \{ {{66000t+38000} {\ \ 0So the equation becomes[tex]PV=\int\limits^0_1 {S(t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=\int\limits^{0.5}_0 {(66000t+38000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^{1}_{0.5}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=\int\limits^{0.5}_0 {(66000t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^{0.5}_0 {(38000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^{1}_{0.5}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=8113.7805+18764.4669+34207.6751\\PV=61085.9225

    So the present value of revenue in the first year is $61,085.92.

    b-

    The time in which the machine pays for itself is given as

    PV=\int\limits^0_1 {S(t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt+\int\limits^t_1 {S(t)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\PV=61085.9225+\int\limits^{t}_{1}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt

    The present value is set equal to the value of machine which is given as

    $160,000 so the equation becomes:

    PV=61085.9225+\int\limits^{t}_{0}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\160000=61085.9225+\int\limits^{t}_{0}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt\\\int\limits^{t}_{0}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt=160000-61085.9225\\\int\limits^{t}_{1}{(71000)e^{-0.05t}} \, dt=98914.07\\\\t=-\dfrac{\ln \left(0.93034\right)}{0.05}\\t=1.44496

    So the total time it would take to pay for its price is 2.44 years of 29.33 months.
