Answer:
a. The annual rate of return associated with the 16th year of education is:
9.1%
b. The actual return of return to the 16th year of schooling is more than 9.1%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average income for people with 15 years of schooling = $60,000
Average income for people with 16 years of schooling = $66,000
Income associated with the 16th year of education = $6,000 (66,000 - 60,000)
Annual rate of return with the 16th year of education = $6,000/$66,000 * 100 = 9.1%
Guerilla Radio Broadcasting has a project available with the following cash flows : Year Cash Flow 0 −$15,700 1 6,400 2 7,700 3 4,500 4 4,100 What is the payback period?
Answer: 2.36 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the amount of time it will take to pay off the initial investment/ outlay which in this case is $15,700.
= Year before investment is paid + (Amount remaining/ Cashflow in year of Payback)
Add up the cashflows to find the year before payback;
= 6,400 + 7,700
= $14,100
Year before payback = 2
Amount remaining;
= 15,700 - 14,100
= $1,600
Payback period = 2 + (1,600/ 4,500)
= 2.36 years
At the most recent staff meeting of Hyperactive Media Sales, the general manager gave you instructions to make the laptops used by the salespeople as secure as possible. You have decided to implement a new advanced sign-in process for the users. How will you explain to the general manager how using new authentication methods makes the laptops more secure

What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for a stock with annual returns of:__________.
a) 4%,
b) 9%,
c) -6%,
d) 18%
Answer:
Arithmetic average return = 6.25%
Geometric average return = 5.89%
Explanation:
Annual returns of 4%, 9%, -6% and 18%
Arithmetic average return of the stock = ∑ 4%,9%,-6%,and 18% / n
= 25%/4
= 6.25%
Geometric average return formula = x1,*x2*x3 .....^1/n - 1
Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*(1-0.06)*1.18^1/4 -1
Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*0.94*1.18^1/4 - 1
Geometric average return = 1.25789^1/4-1
Geometric average return = 1.0589 - 1
Geometric average return = 0.0589
Geometric average return = 5.89%

What do you recommend that Penelope do with the request to form a company-sponsored affinity group, The Splendid Seniors
Incomplete question. The full question read;
Penelope is the vice president of HR at a large utility company, Power Energy. The company prides itself for its culturally diverse workforce, including a leadership team that is demographically and culturally diverse. One of the company initiatives for recognizing the rights of different groups are the company sponsorship of affinity groups. Power Energy affinity groups (also referred to as employee network groups) include the Latino Association. The Black Tech Workers Group, The Gay Workers Alliance, and the Lesbian Rainbows. The groups receive both encouragement and a modest financial budget from the company. Penelope is the official coordinator for these groups and has helped each group form a charter and organize meetings. Last week she received an email from five workers who have decided to form another affinity group, Power Energy employees. 60 years of age and older. Skeptical of the purposes of such a group, Penelope holds a meeting with the group who is attempting to form the new affinity group, “ The Splendid Seniors. ” During the meeting, members of the Splendid Seniors explain to Penelope that the company has a large number of workers aged 60 and over who collectively have special interests. Ron, the leader of the group, explains that many senior workers like to talk about retirement, as well as their concerns that Power Energy might soon cut their retirement and medical benefits. Ron also pointed out that if the company can sponsor affinity groups for Latinos, Blacks, Gays, and Lesbians, the company should be willing to support a group organizing itself by age. Penelope explains to the group that an affinity group is usually reserved for Equal Opportunity Commission (EEO) protected groups such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. She also asks why outside of talk about future retirement, workers over 60 have any particular concerns that would warrant a company-sponsored affinity group. Ron replied, “ I and the rest of the group are disappointed. We thought that Power Energy really believed in demographic diversity. ” Penelope replied that she would give the subject of an affinity group for people 60 and over some more thought.
What do you recommend that Penelope do with the request to form a company-sponsored affinity group, The Splendid Seniors?
Answer:
She should support the request.
Explanation:
Remember, all the group employees want is to be recognized as an affinity group having the same rights as other existing affinity groups. In fact, her refusal to accept the group's requests only reinstills in them the desire to get equal treatment.
Also, The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 is against discrimination in the workplace on the basis of age (especially for employees who are 40 years of age and above), such as preventing them from having similar privileges as others.
Therefore, Penelope should reconsider her decision, and then grant the workers over 60 right to form their own affinity group.

List three pieces of information listed in a credit card agreement that you believe are important to review before
Explanation:
Annual Percentage Rate (APR). This is the cost of borrowing on the card, if you don’t pay the whole balance off each month. You can compare the APR for different cards which will help you to choose the cheapest. You should also compare other things about the cards, for example, fees, charges and incentives
Minimum repayment. If you don’t pay off the balance each month, you will be asked to repay a minimum amount. This is typically around 3% of the balance due.
Annual fee. Some cards charge a fee each year for use of the card. The fee is added to the amount due and you will have to pay interest on the fee as well as on your spending, unless you pay it in full.

Cromwell's Interiors is considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations.The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent.The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 34 percent.What is the cost of capital for this project?A) 11.97 percentB) 12.40 percentC) 11.02 percentD) 11.62 percentE) 12.38 percent
Answer:
Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of equity = 15.4%
Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%
Debt-equity ratio = 0.46
Tax rate = 34%
Computation:
Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio
Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46
Equity multiplier = 1.46
Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier
Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46
Weight of equity = 0.685
Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity
Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685
Weight of Debt = 0.315
Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]
Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]
Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)
A proposed new project has projected sales of $195,000, costs of $92,000, and depreciation of $25,200. The tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

EBIT +Depreciation - Taxes 58,800
Top-down
Tax-shield
Bottom-up
Answer:
EBIT + Depreciation - Tax
= (195000-92000-25200) + 25200 - 19450
= $83,550
Top down OCF = EBIT - (EBIT * Tax) + Depreciation
Top down OCF = (195000-92000-25200) - ((195000-92000-25200) * 0.25) +25200
Top down OCF = 77800 - 19450 + 25200
Top down OCF = $83,550
Tax shield OCF = (Sales - Exp) (1-tax) + (Dep * tax)
Tax shield OCF = (195000-92000) (1-0.25) + (25200 * 0.25)
Tax shield OCF = 77250 + 6300
Tax shield OCF = 83550
Bottom Up OCF = Net Income + Dep
Bottom Up OCF = (77800 * (1-0.25) + 25200
Bottom Up OCF = 83550

A company buys a machine for $68,000 that has an expected life of 8 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,250 after taxes of 36%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return?
a. 3.44%.
b. 4.78%.
c. 9.56%.
d. 6.12%.
e. 38.24%.
Answer:
c. 9.56%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return = Average Profit / Average Investment × 100
where,
Average Profit = $3,250
Average Investment = $68,000 ÷ 2 = $34,000
Therefore,
Accounting Rate of Return = $3,250 ÷ $34,000
= 9.56 %
What is the percentage change in the PV of $100 due in 1 year when the interest rate changes from 5% to 10%?
a. Decreases by 60.6%
b. Decreases by 4.33%
c. Decreases by 4.5%
d. Does not change
e. Increases by 4.5%
f. Increases by 60.6%
Answer:
c. Decreases by 4.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the percentage change in the PV
First step is to calculate the present value when r is 5%
PV = 100 / (1 + 5%)^1
PV = $95.24
Second step is to calculate present value when r is 10%
PV = 100 / (1 + 10%)^1
PV = $ 90.91
Last step is to calculate the percentage change in the PV
Percentage change in the PV = (90.91 - 95.24) * 100 / 95.24
Percentage change in the PV = - 4.55% (Decrease)
Therefore the Percentage change in the PV Decreases by 4.5%

You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.08 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio?
Answer: 0.92
Explanation:
Beta is a measure of riskiness and Market beta is always 1.
The total portfolio therefore has a beta of 1.
Portfolio Beta is weighted average of the betas of the composite stocks.
The stocks are equally invested in so their weights are 0.5.
Assume the beta needed is x.
(0.5 * 1.08) + (0.5 * x) = 1
0.54 + 0.5x = 1
0.5x = 1 - 0.54
x = 0.46/0.5
= 0.92
If the covariance of returns between a stock and the market equals zero, then what does the beta of the stock equal
Answer:
a) Zero
Explanation:
As we know that
beta = Covariance (Stock return , Market return) ÷ market return variance
Now in the case when the covariance of return that lies between the stock and the market equivalent to zero so the beta of the stock would be zero
As if you divide by zero so the result would be zero
Therefore as per the given option, the option A is correct
