Answer:
Antonio and Replacement of Golf Clubs
a. He should cash the CD and use the proceeds to finance part of the golf clubs.
b. The reason is that he would pay more in in-store financing totaling $37.06 per annum than the net interest he would generate from the CD totaling $23.18 per annum. And Antonio would incur a net loss of $13.88 if the CD was renewed unlike the $5.74 if the CD were not renewed.
Explanation:
Option 1: Renew Certificate of Deposit (CD):
Interest earned = $33.48 ($600 * 5.58%)
Taxes = 10.30 ($33.48 * 30.75%)
Net Income = $23.18
Cost of in-store financing = $37.06 ($710 * 5.22%)
Net Loss(overall) = $13.88 ($37.06 - $23.18)
Option 2:
Sale-off of CD = $600
Net financing required = $110 ($710 - $600)
Cost of financing = $5.74 ($110 * 5.22%)
Answer: 13.1%
Explanation:
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the expected return is;
Expected Return = Risk Free rate + beta(expected return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.3( 11% - 4%)
= 4% + 9.1%
Expected Return = 13.1%
Answer: Therefore, we should make her an offer at that salary
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question,
Lowest salary = $60,000
Highest salary = $110,000
Expected Benefit = 5% × ($110,000 - $60,000) = 5% × $50,000 = $2500
The cost of conducting another interview will be:
= cost of time + cost of travel
= $750 + $4250
= $5000
Since the cost of conducting the additional interview is more than the expected benefit, therefore the interviewee should be hired rather than continuing the interviewing process.
Therefore, we should make her an offer at that salary.
C. Revising is always required or at least advised
