Answer:
The correct option is c. 3.37% (plus or minus 0.02 percentage points).
Explanation:
Note that since we are asked to find the geometric annual return for the stock over the past four years but we are only given the stock returns for each of the past three years, this implies that the stock return to be used for the first year of the past four years will be the arithmetic average annual return for the stock over the past four years.
Therefore, the geometric annual return for the stock over the past four years can now be computed using the following formula:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + r1) * (1 + r2) * (1 + r3) * (1 + r4)]^(1/4)} - 1 ....... (1)
Where;
r1 = Stock return in year 1 = arithmetic average annual return = 4.75%, or 0.0475
r2 = Stock return in year 2 = 5.10%, or 0.0510
r3 = Stock return in year 3 = 31.60%, or 0.3160
r4 = Stock return in year 4 = -21.20%, or -0.2120
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + 0.0475) * (1 + 0.0510) * (1 + 0.3160) * (1 - 0.2120)]^(1/4)} - 1
Geometric average return = 1.14166543988^(1/4) - 1
Geometric average return = 1.03367666813442 - 1
Geometric average return = 0.03367666813442, or 3.367666813442%
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Geometric average return = 3.37%
Therefore, the correct option is c. 3.37% (plus or minus 0.02 percentage points).
On January 1, Year 1, Vaughan Company purchased equipment for $276,000. Freight charges amounted to $12,000 and there was a cost of $24,000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 12-year useful life. Depreciation expense each year using the straight-line method will be:_______.a. $19,700.
b. $16,700.
c. $14,300.
d. $14,000.
Answer:
Depreciation expense each year will be $21,000
Explanation:
As the capitalized cost of an asset is the cost incurred to make the asset usable for the operations of the business.
Cost of Asset = Purchase price + Freight charges + Installation cost
Cost of Asset = $276,000 + $12,000 + $24,000
Cost of Asset = $312,000
Now $312,000 is the cost that is used for the depreciation purpose.
First we need to calculate the depreciable value
Depreciable value = Cost of Asset - Salvage value
Depreciable value = $312,000 - $60,000
Depreciable value = $252,000
Now Use follow formula to calculate the straight line depreciation expense for the year
Depreciation for theyear = Depreciable value / Useful life
Depreciation for theyear = $252,000 / 12 years
Depreciation for theyear = $21,000
As the given options are not correct as per given data. The solution made according to the given data.

If income increases by $100 and consumption increases by $75, the slope of the consumption function equals _____.
Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume mpc, is the slope of the consumption function and it is what this question requires us to find
We have income increase to be = 100 dollars
Then consumption increase = 75 dollars
MPC = increase in consumption ,75/increase in income 100
= 75/100
= 3/4
Therefore the marginal propensity to consume also called the slope is 3/4

An economist has predicted 2% inflation during the next 10 years. how much will an item that presently sells for 100 cost in 10 years?
Answer:
With 2% inflation during the next 10 years, an item that presently sells for 100 will cost 102 in 10 years' time.
Explanation:
However, if the predicted inflation rate of 2% happens year on year, then the cost of the item will become 121.90 (100 (1+ 2%)∧10), compounded annually. In itself, inflation is the decline of the purchasing power of a given currency over some period of time. It is a quantitative measure of the rate at which the decrease in the purchasing power of the selected currency occurs, and how this is reflected in the price level of a basket of selected goods and services in that economy over some period of time.

Ebrima Kanteh works as a supervisor for an engineering company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In the UK he had a reputation for speaking his mind and by doing so getting the best out of his staff. At the current project in Riyadh he supervises 12 British staff and nearly 50 Saudi staff. After a few months Ebrima has become increasingly frustrated by what he sees a less than effective Saudi team. Their lack of competence and slow work pace is worrying George. What should he do to try and bring the Saudi staff back into line?
Answer:
He should try to analyze and understand how Saudi workers view the role of a leader and teamwork. Cultural differences between Saudi Arabia and the UK are huge, the only similarity is that both are monarchies, but British monarchy stepped aside and doesn't rule anymore. While Saudi monarchy rules with an iron fist.
Some behavior or actions that are considered completely out of place or might even be illegal in the UK are totally normal in Saudi Arabia, and vice versa. I met someone that used to work in the middle east and he remembers that subordinates have a great respect for their leaders and do not question anything. But at the same time, normal motivation techniques didn't work with them. I remember he told me that in order to be able to make his team work he had to be rude with them and basically order them what to do and make sure they did it. This behavior would be unacceptable in western countries, bosses do not yell at employees all the time, but it worked for him there.
It wasn't the same country, but in order to work properly he had to overcome several cultural barriers and adopt several local customs. By the way, his subordinates were happy with him. No one ever confronted him and told him not to yell at people, since that is normal for them.
Ebrima will need to treat his British subordinates one way, and his Saudi subordinates another way. He should also talk to his fellow British employees and explain them why he is acting that way. If he doesn't, some of them might think he is abusing his authority. When my friend told about his experience I also thought he had become a really bad boss, but them he explained things to me in greater detail.

If annualized nominal interest rates in the US and Switzerland are 12% and 8% respectively and the 90-day forward [one-year forward] rate for the Swiss franc is $1.0218, at what current spot rate for the Swiss frank will interest rate parity hold?
Answer:
Current spot rate for the Swiss frank will interest rate parity hold is $1.0214
Explanation:
As per given data
Annualized nominal interest rates in the US = 12%
Annualized nominal interest rates in the Switzerland = 8%
90 days forward rate = $1.0218
As we know
According to interest rate parity theory
Forward rate differential = Interest rate differential
( ( F - S ) / S ) x (360/n) = ( ( 1 + ru ) / ( 1 + rs ) ) - 1
Where
F = Forward Rate = $1.0218
S = Spot rate = ?
n = numbers of days = 90 days
ru = Annualized nominal interest rates in the US = 12%
rs = Annualized nominal interest rates in the Switzerland = 8%
Placing the values in the formula
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) x (360/90) = ( ( 1 + 12% ) / ( 1 + 8% ) ) - 1
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) x 4 = ( 1.12 / 1.08% ) - 1
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) x 4 = 0.037037
( ( $1.0218 - S ) / S ) = 0.037037 / 4
( $1.0218 - S ) / S = 0.00925925
$1.0218 - S = S0.00925925
$1.0218 = S0.00925925 + S
$1.0218 = S1.00925925
S = $1.0218 / 1.00925925
S = $1.0214

what are the 4 SOURCES of STRESS an entrepreneur may encounter and 3 ways they can DEAL WITH THIS STRESS.
Explanation:
An entrepreneur can have many challenges especially at the beginning of his journey when opening a new business. One of the main challenges is leading with stress, which can occur for several reasons.
The four main sources of stress in entrepreneurs are: loneliness, the need to anchor results, people and immersion in business people.
Each of these variables can arise from the fact that an entrepreneur can feel overwhelmed and pressured to make the business work, as there is always a capital invested in the business and a positive return on this money is expected to start something new. .
There is also the fact that the entrepreneur can spend a lot of time immersed in business, since he is the main interested in his business, which can cause loneliness and generate more stress. There is also the risk of establishing partnerships and societies with people and conflicts arising due to incompatibility of ideas, anti-ethical actions, etc.
To deal with stress, the entrepreneur must: delegate tasks, be aware of the signs that the body emits from fatigue and stress and balance time for work and social life. Because although the entrepreneur knows that he needs to work and work hard for his business to succeed, it is necessary to manage stress so that it does not hinder his performance, his creativity and capacity for innovation, it is necessary to recognize that we do not have to give at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to mental health so that work can flow effectively.

A coal mine cost $1,004,000 and is estimated to hold 56,000 tons of coal. There is no residual value. During the first year of operations, 7,000 tons are extracted and sold. Calculate depletion expense for the first year.
Answer:
$125,500
Explanation:
The initial cost of coal mine=$1,004,000
Estimated useful life=56,000 tons of coal
tons of coal extracted in the first year=7,000 tons
depletion expense=(cost of coal mine-residual value)*tons of coal extracted in the first year/estimated useful life
residual value =$0
depletion expense=($1,004,000-$0)*7000/56000
depletion expense=$1,004,000*7000/56000
depletion expense for first year=$125,500
Which answer choice is not one of the top 10 abusive lending practices?
a credit cards
b. high fees
C. bait & switch
d. balloon loan
Answer:
it's A
Explanation:
credit cards
The practise of applying unfair, dishonest, or abusive loan terms to customers is known as predatory lending. Hence option A is correct .
What is predatory lending ?These loans frequently come with excessive fees and interest rates, drain the borrower's equity, or place a creditworthy borrower in a loan with a worse credit rating (and higher cost), all to the lender's advantage.
Predatory lenders frequently employ pushy sales techniques and prey on the borrowers' ignorance of financial transactions. They lure, encourage, and help a borrower take out a loan they will not reasonably be able to repay through deceptive or dishonest conduct and a lack of transparency.
Any dishonest actions taken by lenders to persuade, induce, deceive, or aid borrowers into taking out loans they are unable to responsibly repay or must pay back are considered predatory lending back at a price that is significantly more than the going rate. Predatory lenders prey on the situation or ignorance of borrowers.
