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%

Suppose the demand for a price maker’s product is estimated to be Qd = 100 – 2P and its total cost function is C(Q) = 10Q. Under first-degree price discrimination, what will be the firm’s profits?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
From the question,
Qd = 100 – 2P
We have to use the subject of the formula to get the expression for Price(P). This will be
2P = 100 - Qd
P= (100 - Qd) /2
P = 50 - 0.5Q
Also, C(Q) = 10Q
MC = 10
Since P = MC
50 - 0.5Q = 10
Collect like terms.
50 - 10 = 0.5Q
0.5Q = 40
Q = 40/0.5
Q = 80
Recall that,
P = 50 - 0.5Q
= 50 - 0.5(80)
= 50 - 40
= 10
The profit will be calculated as:
= TR - TC
where,
Total revenue = Price × Quantity
= 80 × 10 = 800
Total cost = 10Q = 10 × 80 = 800
Profit = 800 - 800 = 0

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

Suppose people with 15 years of schooling average earnings of $60,000 while people with 16 years of education average $66,000.
a. What is the annual rate of return associated with the 16th year of education?
b. It is typically thought that this type of calculation of the returns to schooling is biased, because it doesn't take into account innate ability or innate motivation. If this criticism is true, is the actual return to the 16th year of schooling more than or less than your answer in part (a)?
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
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.

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%
Costello Corporation reported pretax book income of $502,000. During the current year, the reserve for bad debts increased by $9,000.

Zhang Industries budgets production of 220 units in June and 230 units in July. Each unit requires 1.5 hours of direct labor. The direct labor rate is $12.40 per hour. The indirect labor rate is $19.40 per hour. Compute the budgeted direct labor cost for July.
Answer:
Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

Production in July = 230 units
Hours of direct labor = 1.5 hours per unit
Direct Labor rate = $12.40 per hour

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
