Answer:

O4.1% interest

Explanation:

Inflation erodes the strength of a currency. If the interest rate on offer is below the inflation rate, saving money in a bank will result in a loss.

To gains from a savings account, the real rate of interest must be positive. The real rate will the nominal interest rate( the quoted rate) - the inflation rate. The higher the nominal rate, the better for the customer.

In this case, 4.1 % will be best for the customer. If the inflation rate is 3.5%, an interest rate of 4.1% will give a real interest rate of 0.6%.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

  • Stock is overpriced/ overvalued.
  • Sell if you own it.
  • Don't buy if you don't.

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return on the stock:

Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)

= 2.5% + 1.3 * (7% - 2.5%)

= 8.35%

Price based on Constant Dividend Growth Model (CDGM):

Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)

Next dividend = 1.40 * ( 1 + 4%)

= $1.456

Price = 1.456 / (8.35% - 4%)

= $33.47

<em>Stock is selling for $35. It is overvalued. Don't buy the stock. Sell if you have the stock. </em>

Jolene is opening a doggy daycare named "Little Barks." She is leaving her current job where she makes $75,000 per year in order
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Accounting profit is the difference between total revenue and accounting cost in which the accounting cost is containing only the explicit cost incurred. Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and total opportunity cost, the latter containing both the explicit cost and the implicit cost incurred.

Accounting profit = revenue - explicit cost

Accounting profit = 125,000 - (10000 + 20000)

Accounting profit = 95,000

Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost

Economic profit = 95,000 - (75000 + 5000)

Economic profit = 15,000

This implies that while accounting profit does not undertake implicit cost of economic activity (cost for which no explicit payment is made separately), economic profit does deduct them. Now economic profit is positive, Jolene should open Little Barks.

What is the result of selling prices and revenues increasing faster than costs?
Lena [83]
T's impossible to determine whether lowering costs or increasing revenue is more important across the board for all companies. There are too many factors that can influence the answer for a given company, in a given market or in a given economy. A specific marketing focus may be the key to financial stability and steadily increasing profits.<span>
