z-score calculated based on the probability of battery is 0.6549
[ 1250 - 1150 ] / 1250 = 0.9915
Suppose Skyler invests in an annuity that pays 3.2% annual interest, compounded monthly. If she contributes $155 every month for 10 years, how much interest would she earn during that time
Answer: $3,286.47
Explanation:
Find the future value of the annuity after 10 years.
Number of periods = 10 * 12 months = 120 months
Interest = 3.2% / 12 = 3.2/12%
Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( (1 + rate)^ number of periods- 1) / rate
= 155 * ( ( 1 + 3.2%/12) ¹²⁰- 1) / 3.2%/12
= $21,886.47
The find the amount that the money would have come to without being invested:
= 155 * 120 months
= $18,600
Interest is:
= 21,886.47 - 18,600
= $3,286.47

Suppose there are three factories in Macroland and the following occurred in 2019: Metal, plastic and a car factory. Metal factory produces $200, plastic factory produces $500, and car factory produces $700, of its respective products. The metal factory sells all of its output to the car factory. The plastic factory sells $80 worth of plastic to the car factory, $20 to the government, and the rest to consumers. The Car factory exports $50 of its cars and sells the rest to consumers.
Required:
What is the GDP of Macroland in 2019?
Answer:
$1120
Explanation:
The computation of the GDP is shown below:
Y = C + I + G + X
Here Y denotes the GDP
C denotes the consumption = $500 - $80 - $20 = $400 and 700 - 50 = $650
I denotes the investment = $
G denotes the government purchase = $20
X denotes the net exports = $50
So,
Y = $400 + $650 + 0 + $20 + $50
= $1120

December 1, 2020:
Debit Cash $832,000
Credit Bonds Payable $800,000
Credit Bonds Premium $27,038
Credit Warrants Liability $4,962
To record the issuance of the bonds.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 1, 2020:
Face value of nonconvertible bonds with detachable stock purchase warrants = $800,000
Issue price of bonds = $832,000 (1.04 * 800 * $1,000)
Number of bonds issue = 800
Par value per bond = $1,000
Maturity period = 10 years
Coupon interest rate = 10%
Option price of each warrant = $15 per common stock share
Market price of the option = $3
Value of warrant = $4,800 ($3 * 800 * 2)
Allocation of bond price:
Bonds = $827,038 ($800,000/$804,800 * $832,000)
Warrants = $4,962 ($4,800/$804,800 * $832,000)

= $160
In 2010 the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) reported that nonfinancial companies in the United States had around $2 trillion in cash and short-term liquid assets. As the U.S. economy was still struggling, consumer spending remained low, and companies resisted in investing in new projects that would create value for their stakeholders.
As the economy improves, uncertainty in the markets decreases, and companies will start investing in projects. However, the challenge of analyzing and selecting projects that would generate cash flows and returns and add value to the firm would remain.
The assumptions in the analysis about cost of equity and debt—overall and for projects—have a significant impact on the type and the value of investments that a company makes.
According to the Association of Finance Professionals’ report, published in 2011 on current trends in estimating and applying the cost of capital, companies use a discount rate that is usually above or below 1% of the company’s true rate. Using this information and certain inputs from the Fed, Michael Jacobs and Anil Shivdasani estimated that a 1% drop in the cost of capital leads U.S. companies to increase their investment by about $150 million over three years.
Based on your understanding of the concept of cost of capital, which of the following statements are valid?
a. Companies always use the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate to analyze the financial viability of projects.
b. A company’s estimate of cost of capital impacts its application in the analysis of new investments that, consequently, affects the value of the firm and shareholders’ wealth.
c. Investors care about the incremental value addition that new projects are making; they are least concerned with the discount rates that the company uses.
d. Companies incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital to compensate investors for the components’ risks.
Answer:
b. A company’s estimate of cost of capital impacts its application in the analysis of new investments that, consequently, affects the value of the firm and shareholders’ wealth. d. Companies incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital to compensate investors for the components’ risks.Explanation:
A company's estimate of cost of capital, is serious because it is used in the calculations of the returns from a new investment which is used to calculate the value of the firm and its shareholders. They therefore need to make these estimates as accurate as possible.
Companies also incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital so that the investors who provided this capital, can be ensured of a return on their investment because it would be accounted for in analysis of new investments.
a) Take a real time example of a company of your own choice working in Pakistan and then discuss the factors that lead to pressure for local responsiveness. Discuss it in detail. Draw diagram to show the effect.
Answer:
This responsiveness also promotes the local market orientation of a subsidiary and therefore the strength of its existing network with the businessmen and government authorities.
Explanation:
Usually, firms working within the global market confront two sorts of competitive pressure. They face pressure to scale back costs and pressure to react locally. These competing forces throw a corporation into conflict. It's going to also need a corporation to supply a consistent product on the international market to downstream the experience curve as soon as feasible. In response to local pressures, however, it's necessary for a firm to differentiate its product offering and marketing strategy from one country to a different in an effort to satisfy the various demands arising from domestic consumer preferences, business practices, channels of distribution, competitive conditions and public policies. Because it's going to entail substantial redundancy and a scarcity of product standards to adapt products to varied domestic needs, the result could also be a rise in prices.
While some organizations, like Company A, face a high to scale back cost and low for the reaction of locally, while others, like Company B, face low to scale back costs and high for local reaction, many companies are within the situation of Company C. It suggests and supports three layers of variables, including environmental, structural, and organizational responsiveness. The analysis of 168 MNE companies within the People's Republic of China shows that environmental complexity and therefore the uniqueness of business culture increase local reaction. Structural variables like the intensity of competition, heterogeneity of demand and localisation of components increase local reaction.
The Omega started the year with $650,000 in the common stock account and $1,318,407 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The end-of-year balance sheet showed $720,000 and $1,299,310 in the same two accounts, respectively. What is the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends
Answer:
$17,597
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cash flow to stockholders
Using this formula
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - Common stock issued
Let plug in the formula
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (1299,310+ 720,000)- (1318407+ 650000)
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (2,019,310-1,968,407)
Cash flow to stockholders= 68,500-50,903
Cash flow to stockholders= $17,597
Therefore the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends is $17,597
When capital is plotted on the vertical axis and labor is plotted along the horizontal axis, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of labor for capital along a convex isoquant A. declines as more and more labor is used. B. equals the negative of the slope of the isoquant. C. equals the marginal product of labor divided by the marginal product of capital. D. All of the above are correct. E. Only answers A and B are correct.
Answer: D. All of the above are correct.
Explanation:
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) refers to the economic theory which explains the rate at which a particular factor of production must reduce in order for the same level of productivity to be maintained when there's another production factor which is increased.
When the capital is plotted on the vertical axis and labor is plotted along the horizontal axis, then the marginal rate of technical substitution of labor for capital along a convex isoquant will reduce as more and more labor is used. Also, the MRTS equals the negative of the slope of the isoquant and equals the marginal product of labor divided by the marginal product of capital that's MRTSL,K=-MPL/MPK
Therefore, the correct option is All of the above.

A cost-benefit analysis of a highway is difficult to conduct because analysts a. are unlikely to have access to costs on similar projects. b. cannot estimate the explicit cost of a project that has not been completed. c. are not able to consider the opportunity cost of resources. d. will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.
Answer:
d. will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.
Explanation:
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is used to examine and compare the cost associated with a project or task and the benefits derived from it.
Simply stated, cost-benefit analysis is a form of utilitarianism commonly used by individuals, business firms and government in the decision-making process, as all the cost incurred are determined and analyzed.
This ultimately implies that, it may be used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) sums the total cost associated with a project (activity) and compares this cost against the total benefits that would be generated. Thus, it helps in the decision-making process by comparing the net present value (NPV) of the cost of a particular project with the net present value (NPV) of its benefits.
In this context, the cost-benefit analysis of a highway would be difficult to conduct because analysts will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.
This ultimately implies that, the value or cost benefits associated with the highway is difficult to ascertain or estimate.

Often, an organization makes a portion of its ________ accessible to external parties as its extranet.a. blog.b. inner firewall.c. internet.d. intranet.
Answer:
d. intranet.
Explanation:
A local area network (LAN) refers to a group of personal computers (PCs) or terminals that are located within the same general area and connected by a common network cable (communication circuit), so that they can exchange information from one node of the network to another. A local area network (LAN) is typically used in small or limited areas such as a set of rooms, a single building, school, hospital, or a set of well-connected buildings.
Generally, some of the network devices or equipments used in a local area network (LAN) are an access point, personal computers, a switch, a router, printer, etc.
An intranet can be defined as a private computer network established within an organization and is typically used for securely sharing organizational informations, computing resources, operational system, and collaboration tools between employees through an internet protocol (IP). Thus, it's mainly a private network that is only accessible to authorized users or employees within an organization.
However, an organization often makes a portion of its intranet accessible to external parties such as vendors, authorized customers, partners, etc., as its extranet in order to have access to business information.

($2 * 10) + ($2 * 20) = $20 + $40 = $60
Hence,
CPI = ($75 / $60) * 100
CPI = 1.25 * 100
CPI = 125
