Answer:
The behavior is regulated as well as corrective measures are not necessary. A further explanation is provided below.
Explanation:
According to the given,
Mean,
= 143.17
Standard Deviation
= 37.91
Sigma level,
= 3
Now,
The upper control limit will be:
⇒ UCL = [tex]Mean+3SD[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
= [tex]143.17 + (3\times 37.91)[/tex]
= [tex]143.17 + (113.73)[/tex]
= [tex]256.9[/tex]
The lower control limit will be:
⇒ LCL = [tex]Mean-3SD[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
= [tex]143.17 - (3\times 37.91)[/tex]
= [tex]143.17-113.73[/tex]
= [tex]29.44[/tex]
Even though all values are somewhere between LCL as well as UCL. Thus the above is the right answer.
Suppose there are only two firms that sell smartphones: Flashfone and Pictech. The payoff matrix that follows shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its phones. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfone prices low and Pictech prices high, Flashfone will earn a profit of $10 million and Pictech will earn a profit of $3 million. (Hint: Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfone and Pictech are both profit-maximizing firms.) Pictech High Price Low Price Flashfone High Price 8, 8 3, 10 Low Price 10, 3 5, 5 If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. If Pictech prices high, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Pictech prices low, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. Considering all of the information given, pricing highis not a dominant strategy for both Flashfone and Pictech. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game
Answer:
Flashfone and Pictech
The Nash equilibrium is achieved when Pictech and Flashfone price their smartphones high without the other party changing their strategy.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pictech
High Low
High 8 8 3 10
Flashfone
Low 10 3 5 5
b) By acting at the Nash equilibrium and pricing their smartphones high, Pictech and Flashfone achieve a payoff of $8 million respectively. This payoff level does not put any of the two firms at a disadvantage.
Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from $0.50 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmers produce from 2 million pounds to 4 million pounds. The price elasticity of supply in this case indicates that supply is Group of answer choices
Answer: elastic
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply will be:
The percentage change in price will be:
= (1.50 - 0.50)/0.50 x 100
= 1.00/0.50 × 100
= 200
The percentage change in quantity will be:
= (4 -2)/2 x 100
= 2/2 × 100
= 100
Elasticity = % change in quantity/% Change in Price = 200/100 = 2
Since elasticity = 2, this indicates supply is elastic as it's greater than 1.
A company projects an increase in net income of $135,000 each year for the next five years if it invests $900,000 in new equipment. The equipment has a five-year life and an estimated salvage value of $300,000. What is the annual rate of return on this investment
Answer:
the annual rate of return is 22.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Average investment is
= ($900,000 + $300,000) ÷ 2
= $600,000
Now
Annual rate of return is
= Annual net income ÷ Average investment
= $135,000 ÷ $600,000
= 22.50%
hence, the annual rate of return is 22.50%
In the current year, she sold her interest in Activity D for a $10,000 gain. Activity D, which had been profitable until last year, had a current loss of $1,500. Answer the following questions to determine how the sale of Activity D affects Sarah's taxable income in the current year. a. The amount of suspended losses carried forward to the year of the sale is $fill in the blank 1 20,000 . b. What amount of the suspended losses is allocated to Activity D
Answer:
a. -$20,000
b. -$2,000
Explanation:
a. The amount of suspended losses carried forward to the year:
= 30,000 + (-30,000) + (-15,000) + (-5,000)
= -$20,000
b. Suspended losses allocated to Activity D:
First find the total amount of losses:
= -30,000 - 15,000 - 5,000
= -$50,000
Activity B accounted for -$5,000 of this loss.
Suspended losses to be allocated to D would therefore be:
= -5,000 / - 50,000 * -20,000
= -$2,000
Oriole Company purchased for $8,767,800 a mine that is estimated to have 48,710,000 tons of ore and no salvage value. In the first year, 2,830,000 tons of ore are extracted. (a1) Calculate depletion cost per unit. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.) Depletion cost per unit $enter the depletion cost per ton amount in dollars per ton
Answer:
the depletion cost per unit is $0.18 per ton
Explanation:
The computation of the depletion cost per unit is shown below;
We know that
Depletion cost per ton is
= (Total cost - salvage value) ÷ total estimated units
= ($8,767,800 - $0) ÷ 48,710,000
= $0.18 per ton
Hence, the depletion cost per unit is $0.18 per ton
we simply applied the above formula so that the depletion cost per ton could come

Consider a trader who takes a long position in a six-month forward contract on the euro. The forward rate is $1.75 = €1.00; the contract size is €62,500. At the maturity of the contract the spot exchange rate is $1.65 = €1.00. A. The trader has lost $625. B. The trader has lost $6,250 C. The trader has made $6,250 D. The trader has lost $66,287.88
Answer:
B. The trader has lost $6,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount the trader has loss
First step
You will buy at $1.75 and spend= (1.75 × 62,500) You will buy at $1.75 and spend= $109,375
Second step
But you could buy and spend= (1.65 × 62,500)
But you could buy and spend= $103.125
Now let calculate the amount the trader has loss
Loss=$103,125 - $109,375
Loss = -$6,250
Therefore The trader has lost $6,250
You are valuing multiple steady-state companies in the same industry. Company A is projected to earn $160 in EBITA, grow at 2 percent per year, and generate ROICs equal to 15 percent. Company B is projected to earn $160 in EBITA, grow at 6 percent per year, and generate ROICs equal to 10 percent. Both companies have an operating tax rate of 25 percent and a cost of capital of 10 percent. What are the enterprise-value-EBITA multiples for both companies
Answer:
Company A
EBITA = $160m, growth = 2%, Cost of Capital = 10%, ROIC = 15%
Value = (EBITA * (1 - Growth/ROIC)) / (WACC - g)
Value = (160*(1 - 2/15)) / (0.1-0.02)
Value = 138.67 / 0.08
Value = 1,733
EV/EBITA = Value / EBITA
EV/EBITA = 1,733/160
EV/EBITA = 10.83x
Company B
EBITA = $160m, growth = 6%, Cost of Capital = 10%, ROIC = 10%
Value = (EBITA * (1 - Growth/ROIC)) / (WACC - g)
Value = (160*(1 - 6/10)) / (0.1-0.06)
Value = 64 / 0.04
Value = 1,600
EV/EBITA = Value / EBITA
EV/EBITA = 1,600/160
EV/EBITA = 10x

g On January 1, 2019, plant assets, net are $190,000. On December 31, 2019, plant assets, net are $290,000. Depreciation expense for the year is $20,000. During the year, plant assets were acquired for $155,000 with cash. There is a Gain on sale of plant asset of $10,000. What are the cash proceeds from the sale of the plant asset
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Given the equation below,
Total beginning net book value of plant assets + Total plant assets purchased during that period - Total depreciation recorded of plant assets during that period - Net book value of plant assets sold during the period = Net closing book value of plant assets
Hence, we have
$190,000 - $20,000 + $155,000 - Net book value of plant assets sold during the period = $290,000
Net boom value of plant sold during the period = $35,000
We also have the equation below;
Sales proceed - Net book value of plant assets sold during the period = Gain(loss) on disposal of assets
Sales proceed - $35,000 = $10,000
Sales proceed = $10,000 + $35,000
Sales proceed = $45,000
"You’ve observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer’s stock over the past five years: 6 percent, –13 percent, 24 percent, 18 percent, and 15 percent. The average inflation rate over this period was 3 percent and the average T-bill rate was 4.35 percent. What was the average real return on the company's stock? [First find average of the nominal returns and use Fisher's equation to find average real return]"
Answer:
6.80%
Explanation:
The average nominal returns is the sum of the returns for 5 years divided by the number of returns considered( i.e 5, 5 returns for 5 years)
average nominal returns=(6%-13%+24%+18%+15%)/5
average nominal returns=10.00%
The Fisher's equation is shown thus:
(1 + i) = (1 + r) (1 + π)
i=nominal return=10.00%
r=average real return=the unknown
π=inflation rate=3%
(1+10.00%)=(1+r)*(1+3%)
1.10=(1+r)*1.03
1+1=1.10/1.03
r=(1.10/1.03)-1
r=6.80%

Rhoda Morgenstern just settled an insurance claim. The settlement calls for increasing payments over a 20-year period. The first payment will be paid one year from now in the amount of $50,000. The following payments will increase by 2 percent annually. What is the value of this settlement to Rhoda today if she can earn 5 percent on her investments
Answer:
PV = $733,271
Explanation:
From the given information:
The annual payment (P) = $50,000
number of years (n) = 20
The growth percentage = 2% = 0.02
Rate of percentage earned = 5% = 0.05
Using the formula illustrated below to determine the Present Value (PV) of a growing annuity;
[tex]PV = \dfrac{P}{r-g}\Big ( 1 - \Big ( \dfrac{1+g}{1+r} \Big) ^n \Big)[/tex]
[tex]PV = \dfrac{50000}{0.05-0.02}\Big ( 1 - \Big ( \dfrac{1+0.02}{1+0.05} \Big) ^{20} \Big)[/tex]
[tex]PV = \dfrac{50000}{0.03}\Big ( 1 - \Big ( \dfrac{1.02}{1.05} \Big) ^{20} \Big)[/tex]
[tex]PV =1666666.667 \Big ( 1 - \Big ( 0.9714285714 \Big) ^{20} \Big)[/tex]
[tex]PV =1666666.667 \Big ( 1 -0.5600379453 \Big)[/tex]
[tex]PV =1666666.667 \Big (0.4399620547 \Big)[/tex]
[tex]PV =\$733270.0913 \\ \\ \mathbf{PV \simeq \$733,271}[/tex]
Suppose the selling price of one-month forward Japanese yens is $0.010499 per yen, and the spot price is $0.010495 per yen. Complete the following formula for the per annum percentage premium (or discount) to calculate what the yen is worth in the one-month forward market.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
The per annum forward premium = [tex]\dfrac{Forward \ price - spot \ price}{spot \ price} \times \dfrac{12}{1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{0.010499 - 0.010495}{0.010499} \times \dfrac{12}{1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{0.000004}{0.010495} \times 12[/tex]
[tex]= 0.0003811 \times 12[/tex]
= 0.004573
= 0.4573%
Since this is positive and because it is favorable, the price of the yen would rise in the one-month forward market making it premium.
We can conclude that: The yen is at premium against US dollar, due to the fact that it is worth more in one-month forward market.

In footnotes to its year-end annual report, Bancfirst Corp. reported that held-to-maturity debt securities with an amortized cost of $3,929 thousand had an estimated fair value of $3,963 thousand. The balance sheet reported:
Answer: Held to maturity asset of $3,929 thousand
Explanation:
Held-to-maturity securities as the term implies, are purchased by the company to be held until they mature or at the very least, for a period longer than a year. As a result, they are to be treated as Non-current assets because they are assets that owned for over a year.
Held to Maturity assets are to be recorded at amortized cost not fair value so these debt securities will be recorded at the amortized cost of $3,929 thousand.

A stock is expected to return 8% in a normal economy, 12% if the economy booms, and lose 3% if the economy moves into a recessionary period. Economists predict a 56% chance of a normal economy, a 25% chance of a boom, and a 19% chance of a recession. The expected return on the stock is __%.
Answer: 6.91%
Explanation:
Expected return = Sum of (Probability of state of economy * Return given state of economy)
= (56% * 8%) + (12% * 25%) + (19% * -3%)
= 4.48% + 3% - 0.57%
= 6.91%

In a perfectly competitive labor market marginal resource cost is: Multiple Choice the market value of the firm's output times the number of workers employed always zero the wage rate times the number of workers employed the wage rate
Answer: the wage rate
Explanation:
The marginal resource cost for labor is the additional amount that a producer would have to pay to be able to get an additional worker to work under them and produce goods.
This is therefore the wage rate because it is the amount that the worker will be paid. This wage rate is determined by market forces in a competitive market which means that it is based on demand and supply; if more people are needed, the wage rate is higher and if less are needed, the wage rate is lower.

Answer:
12
Explanation:
The computation of the project completion time under the best-case scenario is shown below;
= Activity A1 weeks taken + activity A2 weeks taken
= 5 weeks + 7 weeks
= 12
We simply added the time taken by activity 1 and activity 2 so that the project completion time could come
