Answer: a natural hedge

Explanation:

Natural hedge is simply a strategy that is used by a company in order to reduce risk and this is done through the investment in the assets that their performance is not positively correlated.

Such companies typically makes revenue in the currency of another country. Since the firm decides to hedge the yen exposure by finding a supplier in Japan and paying for these imports in yen, this hedging strategy is known as natural hedge.

Answer:

Stenson, Inc.

The payback period for each project is:

Project A = 3 years

Project B = 4 years

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year            Cash Flow A        Cash Flow B

0                  –$ 64,000           –$ 109,000

1                        26,500                  28,500

2                       34,400                   33,500

3                       28,500                  25,500

4                        14,500                 231,000

Total inflow  $103,900               $318,500

b) The payback period is the time when the cash outflow is recouped.  For project A, the payback period occurs in year 3.  For project B, the payback period occurs in year 4.  Based on the company's cutoff of three years, Project B may not be accepted even with its large cash inflow in year 4.  Therefore, the best decision will be to discount the cash inflows with a suitable rate of interest.  This will help Stenson, Inc. to decide between accepting Project A or Project B.

Answer and Explanation:

A. The point estimate of individuals that would provide yes responses is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is calculated by dividing number of yes responses by sample size:

p = x/n = 200/700= 0.2857

B. The standard error of the population is the square root of the product of the point estimate and it's complement divided by the sample size given by

√p(1-p)/n

=√0.2857(1-0.2857)/700= 0.0170

C. For confidence level 95%, z score is calculated 1-0.95= 0.05/2= 0.025

Z score checked under the table = 1.96

Boundaries=

P-1.96 *standard error and p+1.96 *standard error

= 0.2857-1.96*0.0170= -0.25238

=0.2857+1.96*0.0170= 0.31902

Note : BODMAS demands we multiply first in the above calculation before subtraction or addition.

Explanation:

Even though this might sound like it is laissez-faire leadership, it is not.

This is a passive management by exception leadership style and a leader that does this is usually inactive and absent from their duties unless mistakes are being made or crisis are popping up that need to be fixed. They will then spring into action to mitigate the adverse effects of their absence.

This is different from laissez-faire leadership because in laissez-faire, the leader is simply absent even during crisis.

Answer:

The stock's arithmetic average is:

90.33%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Returns over three consecutive years:

Year 1 =   85%

Year 2 =  58%

Year 3 = 128%

Total returns = 271%

Average = Total returns divided by number of years

= 271/3

= 90.333

=90.33%

b) The arithmetic average is the total returns divided by the number of years involved.  This implies that we find the average or the mean by adding up some pieces of data together and dividing by the number of the pieces of data.

Answer:

$68.64

Explanation:

Div₁ = $4

Div₂ = $5

Div₃ = $6.25

Div₄ = $6.5625

the terminal value at year 3 = Div₄ / (Re - g) = $6.5625 / (13% - 5%) = $82.03

P₀ = $4/1.13 + $5/1.13² + ($6.25 + $82.03)/1.13³ = $88.28/1.13³ = $68.64

Portfolio Beta = 1.225 rounded off to 1.23

Option e is the correct answer.

2.

r = 0.13338 or 13.338% rounded off to 13.34%

Explanation:

1.

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta of a portfolio, we use the following formula,

Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A  +  wB * Beta of B  + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w is the weight of each stock

Portfolio Beta = 0.21 * 0.66  +  0.34 * 1.21  +  0.45 * 1.5

Portfolio Beta = 1.225 rounded off to 1.23

2.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rM is the market return

r = 0.037  +  1.22 * (0.116 - 0.037)

r = 0.13338 or 13.338% rounded off to 13.34%

Answer:

b) internal rate of return will exceed its required rate of return.

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate at which the NPV = 0. If the NPV is positive when calculated using the project's discount rate, then the IRR is going to be higher than the discount rate.

Option A is wrong because the profitability index (PI) of a project is calculated by dividing the present value of its cash flows by its cost. If the NPV is positive, it means that the present value of its cash flows will be greater than the costs, so the pI will be more than 1.

Option C is wrong because if the costs exceed the benefits, then the NPV will be negative.

Option D is wrong because that would mean that the NPV is negative.  

Option E is something made up that doesn't make any sense.

Answer:

a. $1,320.88

b.  $1,182.19

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For market value of the bond

Given that

Rate = 9%

NPER = 10

PMT = $1,000 * 14% = $140

FV = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the present value is $1,320.88 i.e. equivalent to the market value of the bonds

b. Now the net price be

= Market price × (1 - flotation cost)

= $1,320.88 × (1 - 0.105)

= $1,182.19

Answer:

7%

CAPM = 1% + [6% - 1%](1.2) = 1% + 6% = 7%

Answer:

The correct option is b. Spending variance.

Explanation:

Spending variance can be described as the difference between the actual cost and budgeted cost at the actual activity level.

Since cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct costs incurred to produce the goods that is sold by a firm, it therefore implies that the amount of variance in cost of goods sold can be determined by comparing the actual results and the flexible budget at the actual activity level or actual units.

Based on the explanation above, the correct option is b. Spending variance. That is, Spending variance is an unfavorable variance of $5,000 in cost of goods sold is determined by comparing the actual results (10,000 units) and the flexible budget (10,000 units).

1        300

2       320

3       340

4       360

WACC 12.25%

MIRR 17%

We simply applied the MIRR over the excel

We simply applied the attached formula so that the correct percentage could come

And, the same is to be considered

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent taxable yield is shown below:

For zero = 4.50%

For 10% =  4.50 ÷ 0.90 = 5%

For 20% =  4.50 ÷ 0.80 = 5.625%

For 30% =  4.50 ÷ 0.70 = 6.43%

For 10%, for 20% and for 30% it would reduced the tax brackets by the same

like

for 10%

= 1 - 0.10

= 0.90

The Same applied for other ones

Therefore the above should be the answer

But I'd say, the closest to the reason from the aforelisted is that the employees were underpaid. Since the advent of machineries, truth is that there wasn't going to be need for employees. This is because machines tend to have a much better output, better efficiency and won't need to be paid monthly in wages.

Since there isn't need for employees again, the industrialist tend to underpay the employees because they don't see their useful in the first instance

The rise of the use of machine is on the increase. The best explanation as to how the rise of machinery created an unfriendly relationship between industrialists and their employees is the employees were underpaid.

The industrialists did treat their workers bad.  They make sure to keep wages as low as ever. Their attitude towards their employee was like if employee did not like the pay, the long hours and other working conditions he could quit and go to other places.

They were super-rich, living in great homes, living life lavishly abut their employees were paid little sum as if they do not have any choice.
