Answer : The EVI does not change in the way expected and this is because of the higher probability assignment
Explanation:
1) calculate the EVI for the first combination
i.e. B5 = $2000, B9 = 0.4, B14 = 0.8, B15 = 0.3
EVI = EMI with information - EMI without information
= 3250 - 3400
= $ 150
note : EMI with information is gotten via solution tree
2) Calculate the EVI for the second combination
i.e. B5 = $4000 , B9 = 0.3 , B14 = 0.9, B15 = 0.2
EVI = EMI with information - EMI without information
= $1378 - $500 = $878

Superior Inc. is starting a new project. It plans to develop an online platform that allows for 3D printing of online purchases. This would effectively reduce the online purchases' delivery times to minutes. It expects this new product to be a great success and bring rapidly growing profits in the first few years. After that, it expects the competition to kick in which will reduce the growth of annual profits. The dividends on Superior Inc.'s shares will be growing accordingly. Here is the exact schedule of expected future dividends:
Most recently paid dividend is $4.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends for the first 3 years is 50%.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends after that is 10%.
Discount rate for this company is 15%.
Required:
Calculate the price per share of stock of Superior Inc.
Answer:
P0 = $216.18147448015 rounded off to $216.18
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
P0 = 4 * (1+0.5) / (1+0.15) + 4 * (1+0.5)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
4 * (1+0.5)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 + [(4 * (1+0.5)^3 * (1+0.1) / (0.15 - 0.1)) / (1+0.15)^3]
P0 = $216.18147448015 rounded off to $216.18
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _____________ and ___________. Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $2,040. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 420 students, asking each of them their willingness-to-pay for the beautification project. The average willingness-to-pay, as revealed by the survey, is $12.
The benefit of the beatification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ __________ Because the estimated benefit is ____________ than the
cost, the college administrators ______________ undertake the beautification in initiative.
The calculation of the benefit of the beatification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to accurately capture the true willingness-to-pay of each student.
Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading willingness-to-pay data? Check all that apply.
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
b. An equal number of male and female students were surveyed.
Answer:
non rival, non excludable
$5040
greater
will
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
Explanation:
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous.
Because a student is enjoying the visual appearance of the campus, another student is not prevented from enjoying the visual appearance of the campus. This means that the beautification initiative is non rivalrous
There is no way to prevent any student from viewing the initiative. This means it is non excludable
Benefit can be calculated using the willingness to pay of student
the price a student is willing to pay would be dependent on the amount of benefit she expects to derive from the project
benefit = 420 x $12 = $5040
The beautification initiative generates a positive externality
A good or initiative has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost
Because the good generates positive externality, the initiative should be carried out
If . Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere, they would quote a lower willingess to pay
) when originally issued, an investment in bonds of Flushing Dough, Inc., promised to provide an annual coupon of 7.50%. The bonds have 4 years until maturity, a market price of $735, and are expected to pay all coupon on time. At maturity, however, the bonds are only forecasted to pay 84% of their par value. What is the likely yield to maturity on the bonds
Answer:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
Explanation:
The likely yield to maturity on the bonds can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)
Where;
YTM = likely yield to maturity on the bonds = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years until maturity = 4
pmt = annual coupon payment = annual coupon rate * Face value = 7.50% * $1,000 = $75 = 75
pv = present value = market price = $735 = 735
fv = face value or par value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,75,-735,1000) ............ (2)
Inputting =RATE(40,75,-735,1000) into a cell in an excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 10.23%.
Therefore, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 10.23%.
you observe thundering herd common stoc k selling for $40.00 per share. the next dividen is ecoected to be $2.00, and is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate forever. If your requir4ed rate of return is 12%, you should purchase the stock? A. Yes, because the presemt value of the expected future cash flows is greater than $40 g
Answer:
no, because the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than $40
Explanation:
The computation of the share price present value is given below:
= Next dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2 ÷ (12% - 4%)
= $25
As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased
Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:
= Change in consumption / Change in income
where,
Change in consumption = $18 billion
Change in income = $20 billion
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
= $18 billion / $20 billion
= 0.9
Therefore, MPC is 0.9.
EZ-Tax is a tax accounting practice with partners and staff members. Each billable hour of partner time has a $800 budgeted price and $375 budgeted variable cost. Each billable hour of staff time has a budgeted price of $210 and a budgeted variable cost of $120. For the most recent year, the partnership budget called for 5,000 billable partner-hours and 20,000 staff-hours. Actual results were as follows:
Partner revenue $4264,000 5200 hours
Staff revenue $4510,000 22,000 hours

c. Mix variance $85,000 $180,000 $265,000 F
d. Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Partner Staff
Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Budgeted variable cost per hour 375 120
Budgeted billable hours 5,000 20,000
Budgeted revenue $4,000,000 $4,200,000
Budgeted variable cost 1,875,000 2,400,000
Actual revenue $4,264,000 $4,510,000
Actual billable hours 5,200 22,000
Actual billable rate per hour $820 $205
Budgeted billable rate per hour $800 $210
Variance in price $20 ($5)
Sales price variance $104,000 ($110,000) ($6,000)
Sales price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) * Actual billable hours
= ($800 - $820) * 5,200 + ($210 - $205) * 22,000
= $20 * 5,200 + ($5) * 22,000
= $104,000 - 110,000
= $6,000 U
Activity variance = (Actual billable hours - Standard billable hours) * Standard rate
= (5,200 - 5,000) * $800 + (22,000 - 20,000) * $210
= (200 * $800) + (2,000 * 210)
= $160,000 + 420,000
= $580,000 F

Quantity variance $189,000 $70,000 $259,000
Quantity variance = Budgeted contribution - Actual contribution
= $3,925,000 - $4,184,000
= $259,000 F
Mix Variance:
Standard contribution margin $425 $90
Volume variance 200 2,000
Mix variance = $85,000 $180,000
When Crossett Corporation was organized in January, Year 1, it immediately issued 4,000 shares of $50 par, 6 percent, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $20 par common stock. Its earnings history is as follows: Year 1, net loss of $35,000; Year 2, net income of $125,000; Year 3, net income of $215,000. The corporation did not pay a dividend in Year 1.
Required:
a. How much is the dividend arrearage as of January 1, Year 1?
b. Assume that the board of directors declares a $25,000 cash dividend at the end of year 1 (remember that the year 1 and year 2 preferred dividends are due). How will the dividend be divided between the preferred and common stockholders?
Answer:
a. $0
The company was organized in January, Year 1. They do not have to pay dividends because the company just started operations. The cumulative dividends are only to be paid at the end of the period so there is no dividend arrear here.
b. Preferred shareholders are meant to get:
= 4,000 shares * 50 * 6%
= $12,000 per year
As they are owed $12,000 from the first year and are now owed for the second, the dividends they will get is:
= 12,000 + 12,000
Preferred Dividends = $24,000
Ordinary shareholders get what is left:
= 25,000 - 24,000
= $1,000

Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true regarding the variance/standard deviation of a portfolio of two risky securities? I. The lower the coefficient of correlation between securities, the greater the reduction in the portfolio variance. II. There is a linear relationship between the securities' coefficient of correlation and the portfolio variance. III. The standard deviation of the portfolio decreases at an increasing rate as more stocks are added to the portfolio
Answer:
The degree to which the portfolio variance is reduced depends on the degree of correlation between securities
Explanation:
The variance of a portfolio of 2 risky assets can be equal to zero if the association or connection between the two securities is equal to minus one likewise the investment opportunity set of 2 risky assets shows that all risk-return is an association or combinations of any portfolio of the two securities.
The variance of a portfolio of risky securities is usually said to be the weighted sum of the securities' variances and covariances.
The standard deviation of a portfolio of risky securities is commonly defined as the square root of the weighted sum of the securities' variances and covariances.
The expected return of a portfolio of risky securities is said to be a weighted average of the securities' returns.

Yuri owns just one ship, he calls it Previt. The ship is worth $25 million dollars. If the ship sinks, Yuri loses $25 million. The probability that it will sink is .02. Yuri's total wealth, including the value of the ship is $50 million. He is an expected utility maximizer with utility U(W) equal to W2. What is the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship
Answer:
$745,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship
First step is to calculate the Expected Utility (√W)
Expected Utility = (98% x √$25,000,000) + (2% x √$0)
Expected Utility = $4,900
Second step is to calculate the Fair premium of insurance policy using this formula
Fair premium of insurance policy = Probability of loss x Size of loss
Let plug in the formula
Fair premium of insurance policy = 2% x $25,000,000
Fair premium of insurance policy = $500,000
Third step is to calculate the Maximum premium using this formula
Maximum premium = Maximum utility - Expected Utility²
Let Plug in the formula
Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $4,900²
Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $24,010,000
Maximum premium= $990,000
Now let calculate the Maximum amount willing to pay using this formula
Maximum amount willing to pay = (Fair premium + Maximum premium) / 2
Let plug in the formula
Maximum amount willing to pay= ($ 500,000 + $990,000) / 2
Maximum amount willing to pay=$1,490,000/2
Maximum amount willing to pay= $745,000
Therefore the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship is $745,000

Warrants exercisable at $15 each to obtain 81000 shares of common stock were outstanding during a period when the average market price of the common stock was $20. Application of the treasury stock method for the assumed exercise of these warrants in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:_________
a. 20250.
b. 81000.
c. 27000.
d. 60750.
Answer:
a. 20250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000- (81,000 × $15) ÷ $20 ]
Diluted earnings per share=[$81,000-($1,215,000÷$20)]
Diluted earnings per share=$81,000-$60,750
Diluted earnings per share=$20,250.
Therefore in computing diluted earnings per share will increase the weighted average number of outstanding shares by:$20,250
A bicameral legislature is made up of how many bodies?
O one
O two
O three
O four
Answer:
two
Explanation:
A bicameral legislature is made up of two bodies. Thus, option B is the correct option.
What is a bicameral legislature?A bicameral legislature, which is distinguished by having two distinct assemblies, chambers, or houses, is one that practices bicameralism. Unicameralism, in which all members discuss and vote as a single body, is distinct from bicameralism. Bicameralism will be used by about 40% of national legislatures throughout the world as of 2022, compared to 60% at the national level and significantly more at the subnational level for unicameralism.
The techniques used to elect or choose the members of the two chambers sometimes varied from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This frequently results in the membership of the two chambers being significantly different. Primary legislation frequently has to be approved by majorities in both houses of the legislature in order to be passed. If this is the case, the legislature may be seen as the epitome of bicameralism.

Sarah Sandoval is a coffee farmer trying to decide how many tons of coffee to produce. She can sell each ton of coffee for $2000. The cost of producing the first ton of coffee is $500, for the second ton, it's $1000. For each additional ton of coffee produced, the marginal cost increases by $500. How many tons of coffee should Sarah produce, and what is the total cost of her coffee production
Answer:
She will produce four tons at a total cost of $5,000
Explanation:
For each additional ton of coffee produced the marginal cost is increase by $500. This means that when Sarah reaches the fourth ton of coffee the cost of producing the ton of coffee would be $2,000.
At this point she is neither making any profit nor any loss. So, this would be her maximum limit of producing the ton of coffee.
The total cost of producing the four tons of coffee would be $5,000 ($500 for first + $1,000 for second + $1,500 for third + $2,000 for fourth).
if a bond with a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon interest rate of 10% was selling for $1100, then the yield to maturity on that bond is: A. is less than 10% B. is greater than 10% C. is 10% D. cannot be determined g
Answer:
a
Explanation:
the yield to maturity of a bond is the total return on a bond if the bond is held to maturity. it is the equivalent of the internal rate of return.
If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount
If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium
If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par.
the bond is selling at a premium as 1100 is greater than 1000. Thus, the ytm is less than 10%

Use the following information to answer Questions 12 - 15. Below is selected data for Gertup Corporation as of 12/31/05: Gertup has maintained the same inventory levels throughout 2005. If end of year inventory turnover was increased to 12 through more efficient relationships with suppliers, how much cash would be freed up (pick closest number)
Answer:
the cash that should be freed up is $267
Explanation:
The computation of the cash that would be freed up is shown below:
As we know that
The inventory turnover is
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
12 = $14,800 ÷ average inventory
So, the average inventory is 1,233
Now the cash that should be freed up is
= 1,500 - 1,233
= $267
hence, the cash that should be freed up is $267
Use the following information to answer question. Madelyn owns a small pottery factory. She can make 1,000 pieces of pottery per year and sell them for $100 each. It costs Madelyn $20,000 for the raw materials to produce the 1,000 pieces of pottery. She has invested $100,000 in her factory and equipment: $50,000 from her savings and $50,000 borrowed at 10 percent (assume that she could have loaned her money out at 10 percent, too). Madelyn can work at a competing pottery factory for $40,000 per year.
Required:
The economic profit at madelyn's pottery factory is:_________
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Total number of pieces per year = 1,000
Selling price per piece = $100 per piece
So, Total revenue = $100 × 1,000 = $100,000
Raw material = $20,000
Investment = $100,000
So, interest on investment = 10% × $100,000 = $10,000
Opportunity cost = $40,000
So, we can calculate the economic profit by using following formula,
Economic profit = Total revenue - Raw material - interest on investment - Opportunity cost
By putting the value, we get
Economic profit = $100,000 - $20,000 - $10,000 - $40,000
= $30,000

During the year, Walt who is self-employed travels from Seattle to Tokyo, Japan, on business. His time was spent as follows: two days travel (one day each way), two days business, and two days personal. His expenses for the trip were as follows (meals and lodging reflect only the business portion): Airfare $3,000 Lodging 2,000 Meals 1,000 Presuming no reimbursement, Walt's deductible expenses are: a.$3,500. b.$6,000. c.$4,500. d.$5,500.
Answer:
d.$5,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the deductible expense is shown below:
= Airfare + lodging + 50% of meals
= $3,000 + $2,000 + 50% of $1,000
= $3,000 + $2,000 + $500
= $5,500
hence, the deductible expense is $5,500
Here we take 100% of airfare & lodging but we took 50% for the meals
hence, the option d is correct
what more, could starbucks have done, to maximize it's chances of success with laboulange
Answer:
It probably felt like the end of the line last year when Starbucks announced plans to close all 22 La Boulange pastry shops. This was the very same croissant-creating brand that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz once publicly praised as a key to boosting the quality of Starbucks baked goods.
But for La Boulange founder Pascal Rigo, the store closure wasn’t the end. It was a new beginning. At 56, Rigo is in the midst of making one of fast-casual’s most widely watched reinventions. In Humpty Dumpty-like fashion, he is gluing the broken pieces together again and has opened five stores in the San Francisco Bay Area—with two more on the way—under the name, La Boulangerie de San Francisco.
His grand plans: to reassemble La Boulangerie as a fast-casual powerhouse by opening up some 20 to 40 locations. He also plans to enlarge its 40,000-foot baked goods facility in San Francisco that attracts business from such high-profile retail clients as Costco and, reportedly, Trader Joe’s. While it may not be quite the magnitude of what Chipotle CEO Steve Ells accomplished after buying back Chipotle from McDonald’s, the guy who founded La Boulange has a nice chunk of it back from Starbucks.How is Starbucks diversifying itself by purchasing La Boulange? y increasing its product offerings to include bakery items. How does Starbucks' current market power increase its chances for success in expanding its product offerings to include bakery items?
