The start-up chemical company must earn <u>$8.5 million </u>in the first year.

<h3>What is Rate of Return (ROR)?</h3>

The rate of return (ROR) is the net gain of an investment for a period. The dollar ROR is computed by deducting interest on acquired funds (debts) from the earnings before interest.  It can be expressed as a percentage of the initial investment.

Data and Calculations:

Average cost of capital = 15%

Expected rate of return = 20%

Reduction in the rate of return = 3%

New expected rate of return (ROR) = 17% (20% - 3%)

Venture capital funds = $50 million

Interest expense on venture capital = $7.5 million ($50 million x 15%)

Earnings in the first year = $8.5 million ($50 million x 17%)

Thus, the start-up chemical company must earn $8.5 million in the first year.

Suppose you have a machine which executes a program consisting of 60% floating point multiply, 20% floating point divide, and th
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Given that Program instructions consists of:

  • 60% floating point multiply
  • 20% floating point divide
  • 20% other instructions

Amdahl's law states that:

Execution time affected by improvement = (Execution time after improvement/ Amount of improvement) + (Execution time unaffected)

Assuming initially that floating point multiply, divide and other instructions have same clocks per instruction (CPI).

Part (a)

New execution time after improvement with multiply = (60) / 8 + (20 + 20) = 47.5

New execution time after improvement with Divide = (20) / 3 + (60 + 20) = 86.67

New system should be 4x faster which means new execution time should be below = 100/ 4 = 25.

Therefore, Management's goal can NOT be achieved by making the improvement with multiply or divide alone.

Part (b)

New execution time after improvement with multiply and divide = (60 / 8) + (20 / 3) + 20 = 34.17

Speed up = execution time of original machine / Execution time of new machine = (100 / 34.17) = 2.93

Therefore, new machine is 2.93 times faster than original machine.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

23.3%

Explanation:

Expected return refers to the anticipated profit or loss of financial investment. Essentially, it's the value of the return that investors anticipate. We can find the expected return by using the formula given below

Δ IR = 5-5% - 2% = 3.5%

Δ IP = 6% - 4% = 2%

Formula

Expected return = Expectedreturn(previous year) + (betaIP x Δ IP) + (betaIR x Δ IR)

Expected return = 12% + (2.5 x 2%) + (1.8 x 3.5%)

Expected return = 23.3%
