Answer:

108,280.22

Explanation:

Certainty equivalent is solved by taking the inverse utility function from the expected utility of a random wealth variable

U(x) = x^1/4

U^-1(x) = x^4

U^-1(x) === x^4

CE(x) = x^4

Salary   Bonus   Total income   U(x)= x^(1/4)       P(x)        U(x)*P(x)

80000       0          80000               16.82                1/7             2.4

80000    10000     90000               17.32                1/7            2.47

80000    20000    100000              17.78                1/7            2.54

80000    30000    110000               18.21                 1/7            2.6

80000    40000    120000              18.61                 1/7            2.66

80000    50000    130000              18.99                1/7            2.71

80000    60000    140000              19.34                1/7             <u>2.76</u>

Sum                                                                                             <u>18.14</u>

CE(x) =  18.14^4

CE(x) = 108280.22

So therefore,  the certainty equivalent of this job offer is 108,280.22

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

13 days

Explanation:

We are to calculate the days of inventory on hand.

Days of inventory on hand = number of days in a period/ inventory turnover

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / average inventory

Cost of goods sold = 0.68 x $948,000 = $644,640

Inventory turnover = $644,640 / $23,000 = 28.027826

Days of inventory on hand = 365 / 28.027826 = 13.02 days

I hope my answer helps you

viva [34]

Answer:

The annual payment at the end of each year: $4,572.23

Explanation:

The formular for calculating Present value of Annuity is applied in this case to help us find the equal annual payment.

Applying information in the question, we have the annuity that have:

n= 10 as there are 10 equal annual payments paid at the end of each year during 10 years;

i = 8.5% per annum compounded annually, as stated in the question;

PV = Borrowed amount = $30,000;

C = the equal annual payment.

The formular for PV of Annuity: PV = (C/i) x [ 1- (1+i)^(-n)] <=> C = (PV x i) / [ 1- (1+i)^(-n)]

Thus, C = (30,000 x 8.5%) / [ 1- 1.085^(-10) ] = $4,572.23
