Answer: Instrumental
Explanation:
Rational choice theory, is a school of thought which is based on the assumption that individuals will choose a course of action which goes in line with what they personally prefer.
For the instrumental rationality, it has to do with looking for the most cost effective method in order to achieve a particular objective. Therefore, the behavior of corporate executives who outsource jobs to other countries where labor cost is cheaper than in the United States is defined as being instrumental.
Answer: d. survey data from the local community.
Explanation:
In deciding the case the Judge there are methods to use such as cases from other jurisdictions ( as this is a case of first impression), the values of their society and its customs, as well as Public policy.
One thing that should not be used in survey data from the local community. People will always have opinions on a matter of law and a lot of the time this is based on what they feel not what is legal. This is why juries do not just and sentences down immediately, they wait until they have been presented with legal arguments so they may be wiser legally.
Survey data has a very high chance of being devoid of this knowledge and also will be biased. It is best the Judge avoids such.
Answer:
1. $1,250
2. $855.95
3. $3,333.33
4. $92.59
5. $46.32
6. $671.01
Explanation:
1.
$100 per year forever
Constant Cash flow every year forever is actually a perpetuity its present value is
PV of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return
PV of $100 Perpetuity = $100 / 0.08 = $1,250
2.
$100 per year for 15 years
Constant Cash flow every year for specific time period is actually a Annuity its present value is
PV of annuity = P + P [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] = $100 + $100 [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-15 ) / 0.08 ] = $855.95
3.
$100 per year grow at 5% forever
It is a growing perpetuity and its present value will be calculated as follow
Present value of growing perpetuity = Cash flow / Rate of return - growth rate
Present value of growing perpetuity = $100 / 0.08 - 0.05 = $3,333.33
4.
$100 once at the end of this year
Present value = P ( 1 + r)^-n = $100 ( 1 + 0.08 )^-1 = $92.59
5.
$100 once after 10 years
Present value = P ( 1 + r)^-n = $100 ( 1 + 0.08 )^-10 = $46.32
6.
$100 each year for 10 years @ 8%
PV of annuity = P + P [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] = $100 + $100 [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-10 ) / 0.08 ] = $671.01
Answer:
Producers might offer product guarantees and warranties
Explanation:
In business, lemon problems refers to the problems that might occur during transaction that is caused by different information possessed by the sellers and the buyers
<u>For example,</u>
Let's say that Person A offered to sell 10 lemons for $1. Person B is interested to purchase it since average price for 10 lemons is $2. Person B believed that the transaction is worth it.
But, Person A knows that the Lemons sold is in bad condition before he even sell it. Person B doesn't know this, so when he receive the lemon, the value of the product become lower than he expected.
Offering guarantees can solve this problem. The buyers can obtain their money back if the condition of the product is not as promised by the sellers.
Answer:
YTM = 4%
Explanation:
Company (Ticker) Coupon Maturity Last Price Last Yield EST Vol (000s)
IOU (IOU) 6 Apr 19, 2034 111.44 ? 1,851
<u />
<u>Determine the yield to maturity </u>
YTM = Rate * 2
years to maturity = 2034 - 2018 = 16 years
NPER = 2 * 16 = 32
PMT = ( face value * coupon rate ) / 2 = ( 2000 * 6% ) / 2 = 60
price of coupon ( PV ) = 2000 * 111.44% = 2228.8
Rate = 2% ( excel function : RATE(32,60,-2228.8,2000)
hence YTM = 2% * 2 = 4%
