What are the changing roles of public, private, and nonprofit agencies in addressing public problems? What difficulties might a public manager face in trying to implement management techniques borrowed from the private sector?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In the clarification segment elsewhere here, the definition of the query is mentioned.

Explanation:

Indeed, whenever it comes to solving civic issues, the functions of civic, corporate, and nonprofit organizations are shifting. Whenever it comes to solving civic concerns, civic companies have historically been at the forefront. These companies have advocated state incentives, often at the expense of profitability, with respect to the household spending of specialized services and products. By encouraging fair use, public corporations are considered to defend the public.

The position of public entities is now evolving if they're no necessarily safeguarding the public's needs at the expense of profitability, but by generating gains which are already required of them as a company, they attempt to resolve public issues.  Via their CSR programs, private companies have become more interested in addressing public issues. The aim of private corporations was to raise income and build wealth for their owners, but now because they are willing to make a change in the community of individuals.  In solving societal issues, non-profit organizations have always been at the forefront. The main difference is that more non-profit organizations are becoming larger and on a size equal to the one of certain private and government entities.

The following problems could be encountered by a public manager attempting to incorporate organizational strategies imported from either the private sector:  

When applying management strategies, a high degree of public sector bureaucracy can continue to be a challenge as well as a roadblock.  The adoption of institutional reforms would make it extremely difficult for the public sector to adopt management strategies along with its tradition.

What would be most likely to happen if the discount rate were raised?
A. Depositors would make a run on a bank.
thing
B. Banks would make fewer loans.
C. Creditors would refuse to pay back loans.
D. Banks would stop opening savings accounts.

Answers

Answer:

B. Banks would make fewer loans

Explanation:

The discount rate is the interest rate that commercial banks pay to the Federal Reserve for loans received. Banks usually borrow to cater to their short-term cash-flow requirements. The discount rate is higher than the inter bank rate or the fed funds rate(the rate that banks charge each other for loans).

An increase in the discount rate causes the inter bank rate to rise (the Fed controls both rates). It means commercial banks are borrowing money from the Fed and each other at a higher interest rate. Consequently, commercial banks charge a higher interest rate for loans advanced to customers. An increase in interest rates at the banks discourages customers from borrowing.

5. The Market Place recently offered 5,000 shares of stock for sale via a Dutch auction. The firm received bids as follows: 500 shares at $22.50; 2,500 shares at $22.20; 3,300 shares at $22; and 5,500 shares at $21. Ignoring all costs, how much will the firm receive from this auction

Answers

Answer:

$110,000

Explanation:

No of Shares   Price   Total number of shares

         500        22.50         500

         2500      22.20       3000

         3300      22.00        6800

         5500      21.00        12300

In Dutch auction, share are allotted from highest no. of share to lowest at the price where all the shares are taken. So in this case, highest number of shares are asked by Bidder D which is 5500 shares (available 5000 shares). The bidder will be getting shares at $22 because this is the price when all the shares were taken.

Hence, the amount the firm will receive from this auction = 5,000 *22 = $110,000

Because I wanted to round up the meeting, I eventually accepted and left.

The next day was our weekly in-house academy - a day of the week when we set aside about 2 hours for learning and re-learning.

At that meeting, the HR Executive did a reminder on the value of the organisation, as well as the ethics which guide our operations. There she mentioned categorically that it was prohibited by the company to accept any type of cash gifts from the client or from the insurance companies.

As, soon as the meeting was done, I reported myself to the HR Executive and she advised that I return it and I did immediately, thankfully, the exact note was still in my possession.

I wrote a letter to the client respectfully returning the gift on the grounds that company policy forbade it and that marked the end of that episode.

Corporation A has the following returns for the past three years: 7 percent, 13 percent, and 10 percent. Assume each year return had the same probability (weights of 1/3 each). Calculate the expected return

Answers

Answer:

10.00%

Explanation:

The expected return is the weighted average of all the returns recorded thus far wherein the probability of each return occurring is used as the weight of each return as shown below:

Expected return=sum of (weight* value of return)

Expected return=(7%*1/3)+(13%*1/3)+(10%*1/3)

Expected return=0.023333333 +0.043333333 +0.033333333

Expected return=10.00%

The following U.S. Treasury bond is listed in the The Wall Street Journal: Rate Mo/Yr Bid Asked 9.50 Oct 38 135:30 136:04 This $1,000 par value bond has 18 years to maturity and makes semi-annual coupon interest payments. If you purchased this bond, what would be the bond's yield to maturity

Answers

Answer:

6.35%

Explanation:

If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40

the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months

the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods

yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]

YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%

Answers

Answer:

a. Compute the current price of the stock.

P/E ratio = 10

EPS = $5,000,000 / 2,000,000 stocks = $2.50 per stock

price = $2.50 x 10 = $25

b. If the $5 million is used to pay dividends, how much will dividends per share be?

$2.50, same as EPS

c. If the $5 million is used to repurchase shares in the market at a price of $30 per share, how many shares will be acquired?

$5,000,000 / $30 = 166,666.7 ≈ 166,667 stocks

d. What will the new earnings per share be?

outstanding stocks = 2,000,000 - 166,667 = 1,833,333

EPS = $5,000,000 / 1,833,333 = $2.73

e-1. If the P/E ratio remains constant, what will the price of the securities be?

price = $2.73 x 10 = $27.30

e-2. By how much, in terms of dollars, did the repurchase increase the stock price?

$27.30 - $25 = $2.30

f. Has the stockholders' total wealth changed as a result of the stock repurchase as opposed to receiving the cash dividend?

No

Imagine that to preserve the traditional way of life in small fishing villages, a government decides to impose a price floor that will guarantee all fishermen a certain price for their catch.

Using the demand and supply framework, predict the effects on the price, quantity demanded, and quantity supplied.


With the enactment of this price floor for fish, what are some of the likely unintended consequences in the market?


Suggest some policies other than the price floor to make it possible for small fishing villages to continue.

Answers

Answer:

As a result of the price floor, price would increase. As a result, quantity demanded will decrease and the quantity supplied would increase.

Supply would exceed demand and as a result there would be an excess supply of fish.  

As an alternative to the price floor, the government can subsidise the cost of fishing. This would reduce the cost of producing fish

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.

The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year

Answers

Answer:

$61.60

Explanation:

Equity funding need =  Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings

Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 -  $1,980 - $136.40

Equity funding need = $61.60

Workings

Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739

Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561

Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980

Projected increase in retained earnings  = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

To fund your dream vacation, you plan to save $1,475 per year for the next 15 years starting one year from now. If you can earn an interest rate of 6.25%, how much will you have saved for your vacation?

Answers

Answer:

FV= $34,993.05

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual deposit= $1,475

Number of periods= 15 years

Interest rate= 6.25%

To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {1,475*[(1.0625^15) - 1]} / 0.0625

FV= $34,993.05

Number of periods= 1

First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 3,000*1.03= $3,090

Now, the interest earned:

Interest= 3,090 - 3,000

Interest= $90

Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)
What is the optimal production quantity for the card?

Answers

Answer:

≈ 9644 quantity of card

Explanation:

given data:

n = 4 regions/areas

mean demand = 2300

standard deviation = 200

cost of card (c) = $0.5

selling price (p) = $3.75

salvage value of card ( v ) = $ 0

The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated using this formula below

= u + z (0.8667  ) * б

= 9200  +  1.110926 * 400

≈ 9644 quantity of card

First we have to find u

u = n * mean demand

 = 4 * 2300 = 9200

next we find the value of Z

Z = ( [tex]\frac{p-c}{p-v}[/tex] )

   = ( 3.75 - 0.5 ) / 3.75   = 0.8667

Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using  excel formula : NORMSINV (0.8667 )

next we find б

б = 200[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 400

A construction company entered into a fixed-price contract to build an office building for $20 million. Construction costs incurred during the first year were $6 million and estimated costs to complete at the end of the year were $9 million. The company recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion. How much revenue and gross profit or loss will appear in the company’s income statement in the first year of the contract? (Enter your answer in whole dollars.)

Answers

Answer:

$2 million or $2,000,000

Explanation:

The computation of the revenue and gross profit or loss will appear in the company’s income statement in the first year is shown below:

= revenue recognized - cost incurred

The Total cost is

= $6 + $9

= $15

And, the revenue recognized is

= $6 ÷ $15 × $20

= $8

So, the gross profit is

= $8 - $6

= $2

hence, the gross profit is $2 million

stock that has a current price of $25.00, a beta of 1.25, and a dividend yield of 6%. If the Treasury bill yield is 5% and the market portfolio is expected to return 14%, what should MUSS’s stock sell for at the end of an investor's two year investment horizon?

Answers

Answer:

$30.2067

Explanation:

From the given question, using the dividend discount model

[tex]V_0 = \dfrac{D_1}{r - g}[/tex]

where:

r is the Expected return on stock and be calculated as:

Expected return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta × (Expected Market Return - Risk free rate)

Expected return on stock = 5% + 1.25 × (14% - 5%) = 16.25%

However, the current price in this process will b used as the dividend price for all future expenses.

Dividend Yield = Current Dividend/The Share Price

Current dividend D0 = 6% × $25.00 = $1.50

D₁ = D₀ × (1 + g)

D₁ = 1.5 × (1 + g)

Thus, we can now employ the use of the growth dividend model (constant) to determine the value of g as follows:

[tex]25 = \dfrac{1.5 \times (1 + g)}{0.1625 - g}[/tex]

By cross multiply, we have:

4.0625 - 25g = 1.5 + 1.5g

collect like terms, we have:

4.0625 - 1.5 = 1.5g + 25g

2.5625 = 26.5g

Divide both sides by 26.5, we have:

2.5625/26.5 = 26.5g/26.5

g = 9.67%

Similarly, suppose the value for the second year-end to be Y₂;

Then the constant growth dividend model can be computed as:

[tex]Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}[/tex]

where;

D₃ = D₂ × (1 + g)

D₂ × (1 + g) = D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)  = D₀ × (1 + g) × 3

D₃ = 1.5 × (1 + 9.67%) × 3

D₃ = $1.9876

Finally:

A bank estimates that their average balance on demand deposit accounts is $3,500, net of float. Each account costs the bank $250 per year in processing costs. The bank collects an average of $10 per month on each account in service charges. Assume reserve requirements are 10%. What is the net cost of an average demand deposit

Answers

Answer:

4.1%

Explanation:

Net cost of average demand deposit is computed as;

Net cost = (Non interest expense - Non interest income) / [Average balance × (1-RR)]

Annual non interest income= 12 × $10 = $120

Non interest expense = $250

Average balance = $3,500

RR = 10%

Therefore,

Net cost = ($250 - $120) / [$3,500 × (1-0.10)]

Net cost = $130 / $3,150

Net cost = 4.1%

From 2015 to 2016, the overall price level rose from 200 to 220. Over the same period, tuition rates at the local community college rose from $100 to $115 per credit hour. What can be concluded from the rise in tuition relative to overall inflation. EXPLAIN your answer.a) Tuition rates increased at the same rate as inflation
b) Tuition rates increased at a slower pace than inflation
c) Tuition rates increased at a faster pace than inflation
d) Tuition rates and inflation cannot be compared with the numbers given

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Inflation is a persistent rise in general price level

Rise in Inflation rate = 220 / 200 - 1 = 10%

Rise in tuition fees = 115 / 100 - 1 = 15%

From the calculations, the percentage change in tuition fees is higher than the percentage change in inflation rate

When a mentally challenged candidate is overlooked by a recruiter even though he possesses skills that are perfect for the job, which perceptual distortion is likely to be experienced by the recruiter?

a. Halo effect
b. Selective perception
c. Ability stereotypes
d. Projection
e. Self-fulfilling prophecy

Answers

The correct answer is C. Ability stereotypes

Explanation:

Ability stereotypes imply incorrect or inaccurate perceptions about people with different abilities including people with intellectual or cognitive disabilities or mentally challenged people. This often means people consider mentally challenged people unable to perform tasks, understand certain information, among others.

This type of stereotyping occurs in the situation presented because the recruiter is not considering a specific candidate because he/she is mentally challenged. However, this condition does not imply the candidate does not have the skills or qualities to be in this job. Indeed, this candidate can be more suitable than an individual with regular intellectual abilities.

A buyer always wants to pay a price that is as _____ as possible, but never _____ than the buyer's willingness to pay.

Answers

Answer: low: higher

Explanation:

A buyer always wants to pay a price that is as low as possible, but never higher than the buyer's willingness to pay.

As a way to save costs, a buyer will always seek to pay the lowest price they can possibly pay for a good or service. This is why some buyers negotiate prices and seek trade discounts.

Buyers will however have in mind a maximum price that they would be willing to pay. This is called their willingness to pay and it is a threshold that they would not want to exceed. If a good's price is higher than their willingness to pay, they will not buy the good.

An equivalent description of the holding of a receive-floating pay-fixed swap is as follows: A. An exchange of a long position in a fixed-rate bond for a short position in a floating-rate note. B. A portfolio of long positions in forward-rate agreements (FRAs) for each swap payment date, all at the same fixed rate as the swap. C. All of the above. D. A bond that pays the fixed rate minus the floating rate each period.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is

A)  An exchange of a long position in a fixed-rate bond for a short position in a floating-rate note.

Explanation:

Swapping a fixed interest for a floating one can occur if the fixed interest tenure in comparison to a floating exchange rate becomes less expensive for the entity who took the loan.

Also executing a swap in interest rates (that is giving up the fixed tenure for the floating tenure) helps to ensure that liabilities are kept at minimum whilst assets are maximised.

It is important to note that the capital remains unmodified.

Answers

Answer:

The adjusted trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances after adjusting entries have been posted.The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance generally has more accounts listed than the unadjusted trial balance.

Explanation:

The Adjusted Trial balance lists the accounts that the company has at their ending balances which means that adjusting entries have been posted.

As a result of the Adjusted Trial Balance having final account balances, it is used to prepare the financial statements for the company as only final balances should be used in such.

More often than not, the Adjusted trial balance will have more accounts than the unadjusted balance because in process of adjustment, more accounts may be created for transactions that were not posted properly. For instance, there might be liability accounts for expenses if the expenses were not paid in the current period.
