The main aim in which any investor puts his capital into a business is to:

  • Make profit.

<h3>What is an Investment?</h3>

This refers to the value which is given to a certain venture or business in order to yield profit after a period of time.

With this in mind, we can see that several parameters are missing from the question, but expected returns are measures of probability that are used to calculate profit and ROI.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.

We typically hear of the gains from trade coming through specialization wherein each nation produces more of and exports that go
Brut [27]

Answer:

Generally theoretical models work only in theory. E.g. perfect competition models exist in theory but no market is really a perfect competition market.

The Ricardian model or the H-O model, or other trade models make the mistake of assuming that resources can be allocated at will and almost immediately, e.g. a fisherman can immediately become an engineer and start developing apps. Or a farmer that produces corn or rye (very popular examples) can suddenly start working at a factory producing bluejeans.

In real life, it doesn't happen. Also, trade models never consider natural trade barriers and extra costs related to trade. E.g. it is not the same to sell $10,000 worth of corn (you need a very large truck) than selling $10,000 worth of jeans (all you need is a small delivery van). In real life, trade is not simple, it is actually extremely complicated.

E.g. everyone knows that manufacturing goods in America is not efficient, at best companies can be less inefficient, but no manufacturing company in America is really efficient if we compare them to foreign companies. Even people who work in manufacturing industries know this, but they want to continue working in them. They want the companies to keep producing in America and they want to keep their jobs. Not everyone in America has a college degree in computer programming, finances, is able to design robots, or is a doctor, etc.

In real life, efficient industries have to exist alongside inefficient industries, and the whole economy suffers from it. But it is unavoidable. In the long run, the economy will eventually shift resources to more efficient industries,  but it takes a long time, and a lot of people and companies will be against it. E.g. every year there are less shoe manufacturers in America, and eventually sometime in the future there will be none.

1. The beta for Eastman Kodak is 1.10. The current six-month treasury bill rate is 3.25%. Estimate the cost of equity for Eastma
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1) Cost of equity is 12.501%

2) Price of bond is $935.82

3) Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Explanation:

1) Given:

Beta = 1.1

Risk free rate (Rf) = 3.25%

Market risk premium (Rp) = 8.41%

Using CAPM to compute cost of equity:

Re = Rf + β (Rp)

    = 3.25 + 1.1(8.41)

    = 12.501%

2) Price of bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10 years

Coupon rate = 8%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.08× 1000 = $80

Discount rate (rate) = 9% or 0.09

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of bond is $935.82. It is negative as it's cash outflow

3) Price of semi-annual bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10×2 = 20 periods

Coupon rate = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.04× 1000 = $40

Discount rate (rate) = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

e. point directly to the kinds of offensive/defensive actions it can use to exploit its competitive strengths and reduce its competitive liabilities.

Explanation:

A competitive strength assessment is defined as a weighted comparism of a business's strengths and weaknesses compared to the competition. The knowledge gained can be used to improve on weak areas.

Competitive advantage is the traits that set a business aside and gives it an edge over others. Competitive strength assessment evaluates the competitive advantages of a company. Therefore it shows the kinds of offensive/defensive actions it can use to exploit its competitive strengths and reduce its competitive liabilities.
