Answer:

Mel

If Mel is risk-neutral, then in the absence of trip insurance, the most she will be willing to pay for the cruise is _______.

c. $1,220

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mel's value of a cruise in nice weather = $2,000

Mel's value of a cruise in bad weather = $50

Probability of nice weather = 60%

Probability of bad weather = 40%

Expected value:

Weather              Outcome Probability    Expected Value

Nice weather      $2,000          60%           $1,200

Bad weather            $50           40%               $20

Answer: C. Reflects the inability to exclude an Individual from the benefits of someone else's purchase.

Explanation:

The Free-rider problem is a concept in economics that describes the fact that sometimes people benefit from goods and services that they wither did not pay for or underpaid for.

There has been a failure to exclude those individuals who are free-riding from the benefits of goods and services that other people are paying for. A simple example of the free-rider phenomenon is using Wikipedia. Most of those who use it do not contribute or pay for its upkeep in any way yet reap the benefits of its extensive information.

Answer: Simple random

Explanation: In statistics, a simple random sample is a subset of individuals chosen from a larger set. Each individual is chosen randomly and entirely by chance, such that each individual has the same probability .In this technique, each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected as subject. The entire process of sampling is done in a single step with each subject selected independently of the other members of the population. Simple random sampling is a method used to cull a smaller sample size from a larger population and use it to research and make generalizations about the larger group . Simple random sampling is the most basic and common type of sampling method used in quantitative social science research and in scientific research generally.

Andreyy89

Answer:

Do =  $2.00

D1= Do(1+g)1 =  $2(1+0.2)1 = $2.40

D2= Do(1+g)2 = $2(1+0.2)2 = $2.88

D3= Do(1+g)3 = $2(1+0.2)3 = $3.456

D4= Do(1+g)4 = $2(1+0.2)4 = $4.1472

D5= Do(1+g)5 = $2(1+0.2)5 = $4.97664

PHASE 1

V1 = D1/1+ke + D2/(1+ke)2 + D3/(1+ke)3 +D4/(1+ke)4 + D5/(1+ke)5

V1 = 2.40/(1+0.15) + 2.88/(1+0.15)2 + 3.456/(1+0.15)3 + 4.1472/(1+0.15)4 + 4.97664/(1+0.15)5

V1 = $2.0870 + $2.1777 +  $2.2723 + $2.3712 + $2.4742

V1 = $11.3824

PHASE 2

V2 = DN(1+g)/ (Ke-g )(1+k e)n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

V2 = $4.97664(1+0.02)/(0.15-0.02)(1+0.02)5      

V2 = $5.0762/0.1435

V2 = $35.3742

Po = V1 + V2

Po = $11.3824 + $35.3742

Po = $46.76

Explanation: This is a typical question on valuation of shares with two growth rate regimes. In the first phase, the value of the share would be obtained by capitalizing the dividend for each year by the cost of equity of the company. The dividend for year 1 to year 5 was obtained by subjecting the current dividend paid(Do) to growth rate. The growth rate In the first regime was 20%.

In the second phase, the value of shares would be calculated by taking cognizance of the second growth rate of 2%. In this phase, the last dividend paid in year 5 would be discounted at the appropriate discount rate after it has been adjusted for growth.
