West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people

(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year.

Answer:

a. Yes. It is a probability density function because \sum f(x) =1

. b. probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients=P(40)+P(50)+P(60)= 0.20+0.35+0.20=0.75

c. probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients= P(10)= 0.05

d.

x f(x) x*f(x) x*x*f(x)

10 0.05 0.5 5

20 0.1 2 40

30 0.1 3 90

40 0.2 8 320

50 0.35 17.5 875

60 0.2 12 720

1 43 2050

expected value = \sum xf(x) = 43

Variance = 2050-43^2= 201

Winter's Toyland has a debt-equity ratio of .57. The pretax cost of debt is 8.2 percent and the required return on assets is 14.
True [87]

Answer:

<em>WACC 10.995</em>

Explanation:

We solve using the Weighted average cost of capital assuming a tax rate of 0% as we have to ignore taxes. Hence, we get:

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.14700

Equity weight 0.43

Kd 0.082

Debt Weight 0.57

t 0

WACC = 0.147(0.43) + 0.082(1-0)(0.57)

WACC 10.99500%

3. How do global factors influence the economy in your country?
77julia77 [94]

Answer

Hi,

In a developing nation, global factors that can influence the economy are political populism, global insecurity and the refugee crisis

Explanation

Making the explanation from 2016, this year was a challenging and difficult one for the global economy. First it was marked by political populism where President Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen and other influential figures took advantage weak economies and low productivity growth to talk on real wages and consumption.

The U.S presidential election being a major political event in 2016, the main issue was on the possibility of restoring the US as a global force for stability after Obama. Security issue raised due to inferior foreign policies and unwillingness to direct military forces in difficult regions.

Refugee was a major factor during 2016 where millions of individuals entered Europe seeking asylum. Many people were displaced in 2015 with countries like Germany, Hungary and Sweden receiving high inflows of refugee.

Good luck!

                          Statement of cash inflow

Cash flow from operating expenses

Cash received from customers       $143,777

($143,951 - $174)

Cash Paid

To suppliers                                      ($53,773)

($45,700 - $651 + $8,724)

To salaries and wages                     ($56,855)

For office expenses                         ($7,730)

($7,785 + $668 - $723)

For income tax expenses               ($2,779)

($50 + $2,729)

activities                                            $22,640

It is mainly due to no depreciation expenses for cash products. Depreciation expenses do not contribute to cash outflows. Because of which company has reported large cash inflow from operations compared to near net loss.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

$9,760.48

Explanation:

Present value of annuity due = P* [[1 - (1+r)^-(n-1)] / r] + P. Where P = Periodic payment = $1,000, r = Rate of interest per period 4% (0.48/12), n = number of payments 12 (12*1)

Present value of annuity = $1000 * [[1 - (1 + 0.04)^-(12-1)] / 0.04] + $1000

Present value of annuity = $1000*8.760475 + $1000

Present value of annuity = $8760.48 + $1000

Present value of annuity = $9,760.48
