A professional theater company wants to hire a young actor to play an important part in a play. Many actors have expressed an in

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: C. An actor who comes from a respected talent agency.

Explanation:

Talent Agencies are professionals in the field. The people they send have been put through training programs that the Talent Agency knows will serve them well because they are in that same industry. For this reason, actors from Talent Agencies send the strongest signals.

Look at it this way, would you take investment advice from an investment banker or from an entrepreneur? Both could present very strong cases but the Investment Banker has expertise in the subject and is more likely to be picked.

It is the same here. The Talent Agency is believed to have expertise and so when they send someone, that person is considered first.

A proposed project has an initial cost of $38,000 and cash inflows of $12,300, $24,200, and $16,100 for years 1 through 3, respe

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

IRR is greater than required return by 17.38 - 16.8 % = 0.58 %

so project will accept

Explanation:

given data

initial cost = $38,000

cash inflows year 1 = $12,300

cash inflows year 2= $24,200

cash inflows year 3 = $16,100

rate of return = 16.8 %

solution

we consider here IRR is = x so

present value of inflows is equal to present value of outflows .............1

we can say that it as

initial cost = present value

3800 = $\frac{12300}{1*x} +\frac{24200}{(1*x)^2} +\frac{16100}{(1*x)^3}$

solve it we get

x = 17.38%

here IRR is greater than required return by 17.38 - 16.8 % = 0.58 %

so project will accept

The continuing cycle of erratic demand causing forecasts to include safety stock which in turn magnify supplier forecasts and ca

balandron [24]

Answer:

The Bullwhip Effect

Explanation:

Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation's channel of distribution due to swings or erratic demands for products by customers. This erratic nature of demands will usually lead to forecasting inefficiencies especially in meeting the demands through the supply chain.

A sudden increase in demand could lead to production planning problems because there might not be enough inventory of materials on ground to meet the demand. Also, a sudden decrease in demand can bring the challenge of excess inventory of materials which may not be needed for production for a while.

One of the measures taken to manage this erratic nature of demands is to ensure that whatever the forecasts for demands is, safety stock must be included to the forecast level of demand so as to ensure that production planning is adequate and the demands are met as well.

Consider four different stocks, all of which have a required return of 15 percent and a most recent dividend of $4.20 per share.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Dividend yield for W = 5%

Dividend yield for X = 15%

Dividend yield for Y = 20%

Dividend yield for Z = 4.6%

Explanation:

For a constant growth stock $Price =\frac{D1}{r-g}$

If r is made subject of formula; r= $\frac{D1}{Price}+g$ = div yield + growth rate

For Stock W, given r = 15% and g= 10%; dividend yield = 15%-10%=5%

For Stock X, given r = 15% and g= 0%; dividend yield = 15%-0%=15%

For Stock Y, given r = 15% and g= -5%; dividend yield = 15%-(-5)%=20%

For Stock Z, the price of the stock today is calculated as follows:

Price of the stock today = $\frac{D1}{(1+ke)^1}+\frac{D2}{(1+ke)^2}+\frac{P2}{(1+ke)^2}$ .

where P2= $\frac{D3}{ke-g}$

Price of the stock today = $\frac{4.2(1.2)}{(1+0.15)^1}+\frac{4.2(1.2)^2}{(1+0.15)^2}+\frac{4.2(1.2)^2(1.1)}{(0.15-0.1)(1+0.15)^2}$ =109.57

Therefore dividend yield = $\frac[D1}{Price}$ = $\frac{4.2(1.2)}{109.57}=$ 4.6%
