The calculated value of the Z statistic to test the potential buyer's belief at the 1% significant level is -2.57512627.
The calculated Z score is slightly greater than the critical value of -2.575, the potential buyer's view that weekly store revenues are less than $7,000 stands vindicated.
Since store revenues are assumed to be normally distributed and population standard deviation is given, we can use the Z-test. The relevant test statistic is the Z-score.
We use the following formula for calculating the Z score:
Z = (X - μ) / (σ /√n)
Substituting the relevant values we get,
Z = (6400 -7000) / (1042/√20)
Z = -600 / 232.9982833
Z = -2.57512627
X=-3.5 is the answer if you are allowed to have negatives as your answer
Answer:
The required return for the new project is 6.87%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the required return for the new project we would have to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted by risk adjustment factor
.
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]
After -tax Cost of Debt = 3.40%
Cost of Equity = 10.80%
Weight of Debt = 0.39
Weight of Equity = 0.69
Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]
= [3.40% x 0.39] + [10.80% x 0.69]
= 1.32% + 7.45%
= 8.77%
The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor
= 8.77% - 1.90%
= 6.87%
The required return for the new project is 6.87%

Answer:
e. $225,000.
Explanation:
Since Bob Shockey pays interest as in accrues, the amount the beneficiary will receive if he dies before the debt is repaid will be the cash value of his life insurance policy minus amount borrowed to send his daughter to private college. This can be calculated as follows:
Amount to receive by beneficiary = $250,000 - $25,000 = $225,000
Therefore, his beneficiary will receive $225,000.
