Answer: Contrast

Explanation:

Contrast error is a type of rating error whereby how a target person is evaluated in a group is dependent and affected by how others perform in that group.

Contrast error is used in appraising the performance of an individual and the rating of a candidate will be affected by how the person before him or her was rated. Based on the question, Juan was rated below average because the person before him was given an exceptional rating.

Answer: C) noncompensatory rule

Explanation:

The non-compensatory rule is used to describe a situation where a person does not believe that the good traits of a product in one area will compensate for perceived bad traits in another area.

For Elton, the good trait is well known brand names and the bad trait is brand names that are not well known. Even if for the brand that is not well known, the price is lower, the discount is higher or the store is well known, these still will not be enough to compensate for the bad trait of not being well known.

As winner of a breakfast cereal competition, you can choose one of the following prizes: a. $180,000 at the end of five years. b
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

i. Discounted cashflow equations.

a.  $180,000 at the end of five years.

This is a lump sum present value/ discounted cashflow which can be calculated as;

Formula = 180,000 / ( 1 + r)^n

= 180,000/ ( 1 + 12%)^5

= $102,136.83

b. $11,400 a year forever

This is a perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow of a perpetuity is calculated as;

Formula = Amount/rate

= 11,400/12%

= $95,000

c. $19,000 for each of 10 years.

This is an annuity. The formula for calculating the Present value/ discounted cashflow of an annuity is;

Formula = Annuity * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + i)^{-n} )}{i} ] where <em>i </em>is interest rate and <em>n</em> is number of periods

= 19,000 * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-10} )}{0.12} ]

= $107,354.24

d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever.

This is a growing perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow formula is;

= Amount / ( discount rate - growth rate)

= 6,500 / ( 12% - 5%)

= $92,857.14

ii. Choose <u>$19,000 for each of 10 years</u> as it has the highest present value.

A stock has a beta of 1.15, the expected return on the market is 10.3 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.1 percent. What must
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The expected return on this stock is 11.38%.

Explanation:

We apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to solve the problem.

Under the CAPM, we have:

Return on a stock = Risk-free rate + Beta * ( Return on Market - Risk free rate).

in which:

Risk-free rate is given at 3.1%;

Beta is given at 1.15;

Return on Market is given at 10.3%;

So:

Return on a stock = Risk-free rate + Beta * ( Return on Market - Risk free rate) = 3.1% + 1.15 * ( 10.3% - 3.1%) = 11.38%.

Thus, the answer is 11.38%.
