Answer:
a. Decentralized with autonomous sub-unit.
Explanation:
YUM organizes its Decentralized structure with an autonomous subunit.
It is possible to affirm based on the information offered by the question, since a decentralized company is one whose decision-making process occurs in a more flexible way, that is, it is not taken only by a leader. This gives the advantage of better decision-making by employees who are experiencing the situation up close.
YUM has a variety of brands, each of which operates independently and is responsible for its own performance. Each has a separate CEO responsible for managing its supply chain, marketing and R&D, which confirms that each YUM brand operates autonomously and with its own decisions.
Consider a 1-year option with exercise price $60 on a stock with annual standard deviation 20%. The T-bill rate is 3% per year. Find N(d1) for stock prices (a) $55, (b) $60, and (c) $65.
Answer:
Case 1: 0.4266
Case 2: 0.5987
Case 3: 0.7422
Explanation:
We will use the following formula to find d1 which is also given in the attachment below:
d1 = [ ln(S/K) + (r + 0.5 * s^2)*t ] / s * √t
Here
K is strike price and is $60
r is risk free rate which is 3%
s is annual standard deviation which is 20%
t is the option period which is 1 one year
Case 1: Stock Price is $55
Here K is $55. Putting values in the above equation, we have:
d1 = [ ln(55/60) + (3% + 0.5 * 20%^2)*1 ] / 20% * √1
d1 = -0.1851
By using the normal distribution table, we can calculate N(d1) which is:
N(d1) = 0.4266
Case 2: Stock Price is $60
Here K is $60. Putting values in the above equation, we have:
d1 = [ ln(60/60) + (3% + 0.5 * 20%^2)*1 ] / 20% * √1
d1 = 0.25
By using the normal distribution table, we can calculate N(d1) which is:
N(d1) = 0.5987
Case 3: Stock Price is $65
Here K is $65. Putting values in the above equation, we have:
d1 = [ ln(65/60) + (3% + 0.5 * 20%^2)*1 ] / 20% * √1
d1 = 0.6502
By using the normal distribution table, we can calculate N(d1) which is:
N(d1) = 0.7422

Explanation:
Suppose the price of apples increases from $20 to $27, and in response quantity demanded decreases from 108 to 98. Using the mid-point formula, what is the price elasticity of demand
Answer:
-0.325
Explanation:
The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:
= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)
where,
Change in quantity demanded is
= Q2 - Q1
= 98 - 108
= -10
And, average of quantity demanded is
= (98 + 108 ) ÷ 2
= 103
Change in price is
= P2 - P1
= $27 - $20
= $7
And, average of price is
= ($27 + $20) ÷ 2
= 23.5
So, after solving this, the price is -0.325

Rico’s Taqueria had cash inflows from operating activities of $31,000; cash outflows from investing activities of $26,000, and cash outflows from financing activities of $16,000. Calculate the net increase or decrease in cash.
Answer:
The Decrease in cash -$11,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net increase or decrease in cash is shown below:
Cash inflows from operating activities $31,000
Less:

Answer: C. The risk-free rate
Explanation: According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the security market line is a straight line. The intercept of this line should be equal to:
A. Zero
B. The expected risk premium on the market portfolio
C. The risk-free rate
D. The expected return on the market portfolio
The intercept of the security market line (This line shows the expected rate of return of a security as a function of systematic, non-diversifiable risk (beta), in other words, it is simply the line on which all capital investments lie) is equal to the risk-free interest rate (the theoretical rate of return of an investment with no risk of financial loss) according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
The line is represented graphically as a straight line with risk on its horizontal axis, which is the independent variable, and expected return on the vertical axis, which is the dependent variable. The security market line also shows that investors would want higher rates of return with increasing levels of risk taken.

Answer:

However, According to the Internal Revenue service regulation, Capital gains are taxed as long term irrespective of the holding period in which the owner has possessed the fund.
Capital gains redemption however, follows the usual time-line and in this case would be taxed as short-term because the holding period is between July to May, which is a 10 months. Since it hasn't exceeded a year, then, it is classed as short term.
