Answer:
[tex]a=0.2 -0.674*0.3=-0.00235[/tex]
So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.
Explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
[tex]X \sim N(0.2,0.3)[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu=0.2[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.3[/tex]
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
[tex]P(X>a)=0.75[/tex] (a)
[tex]P(X<a)=0.25[/tex] (b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
[tex]P(X<a)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.25[/tex]
[tex]P(z<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.25[/tex]
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
[tex]z=-0.674<\frac{a-0.2}{0.3}[/tex]
And if we solve for a we got
[tex]a=0.2 -0.674*0.3=-0.00235[/tex]
So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.
You just signed a business consulting contract with one of your clients. The client will pay you $50,000 a year for five years for the service you will provide over this period. You anticipate the general inflation rate over this period to be 6%. If your desired inflation-free interest rate (real interest rate) is to be 4%, what is the worth of the fifth payment in present dollars? The client will pay the consulting fee at the end of each year.
Final answer:
The worth of the fifth payment in present dollars, given a 6% inflation rate and a 4% desired real interest rate, is approximately $31,046 after accounting for the effect of nominal interest of 10% over five years.
Explanation:
To calculate the worth of the fifth payment in present dollars considering an inflation rate of 6% and a real interest rate of 4%, we use the formula for the present value of a future payment:
Begin with the future value of the payment: $50,000.
Calculate the nominal interest rate, which is the sum of the real interest rate and the expected inflation rate. This gives us a nominal interest rate of 4% + 6% = 10%.
Adjust the future payment to present value using the formula Present Value = Future Value / (1 + Nominal Interest Rate)^Number of Periods.
For the fifth payment, Number of Periods is 5. Therefore, the present value of the fifth $50,000 payment is $50,000 / (1 + 0.10)^5.
Perform the calculation: Present Value = $50,000 / (1.10)^5 = $50,000 / 1.61051 ≈ $31,046.
Therefore, the worth of the fifth payment in present dollars is approximately $31,046.
Investors in closed-end funds who wish to liquidate their positions must a.sell their shares to other investors. b.sell their shares to the issuer at a discount to Net Asset Value. c.sell their shares to the issuer at a premium to Net Asset Value. d.sell their shares to the issuer for Net Asset Value. e.hold their shares to maturity
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": sell their shares to other investors.
Explanation:
Closed-end funds are pools of assets that at the beginning raise a fixed amount of income thanks to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and later on trades in a public stock exchange. Close-end funds are said to provide higher returns than open-end funds. When investors have a position with a closed-end fund, to exit it the number of shares held must be sold to another investor.
1. Determine the utilization and the efficiency for each of these situations: a. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day.
Answer:
Efficiency is 87.50% and Utilization is 70%
Explanation:
Actual ouput = 7 loans per day
Effective capacity = 8 loans per day
Design capacity = 10 loans per day
Therefore,
Efficiency = actual output÷effective capacity×100%
= 7 ÷ 8 × 100%
Efficiency = 87.50%
Utilization = actual output÷design capacity×100%
= 7 ÷ 10 × 100%
Utilization = 70%
. Due to a car accident you receive a settlement from insurance of $50 a month for the next ten years. What is that worth to you today, assuming a 3% inflation rate?
Answer:
Worth of Insurance settlement $426.5
Explanation:
Present value of Insurance settlement = P [ ( 1 - ( 1+r )^-n ) / r ]
Present value of Insurance settlement = 50 [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 3% )^-10 ) / 3%]
Present value of Insurance settlement = 50 [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.03 )^-10 ) / 0.03]
Present value of Insurance settlement = 50 [ ( 1 - ( 1 .03 )^-10 ) / 0.03]
Present value of Insurance settlement = 50 [ ( 1 - ( 1 .03 )^-10 ) / 0.03]
Present value of Insurance settlement = 50 [ ( 1 - 0.7441 ) / 0.03]
Present value of Insurance settlement = 50 [ 0.2559 / 0.03]
Present value of Insurance settlement = 50 x 8.53
Present value of Insurance settlement = 426.5

Boulevard, Inc. uses the direct method to prepare its statement of cash flows. Use the following information reported for 2019: Sales Revenue, $ 40 comma 000 Interest Revenue, $ 700 Accounts Receivable, beginning balance, $ 13 comma 500 Accounts Receivable, ending balance, $ 30 comma 000 There were no amounts reported for Interest Receivable. Compute the total cash receipts.A.$25,900B.$53,200C.$28,000D.$13,200
Answer:
Total cash receipts is $24,200. This is not given as an option.
Explanation:
The accounts receivable balance represents the balance from sales yet to be settled by the customer. Interest receivable is the interest yet to be received from investment.
Given that for 2019:
Sales Revenue = $40,000
Interest Revenue = $700
Accounts Receivable(beginning balance) = $13,500
Accounts Receivable (ending balance) = $30,000
There were no amounts reported for Interest Receivable.
Since there is an Accounts receivable balance at the end of the year, it means that not all revenue was collected from customers. Similarly, since the interest receivables ending balance is nil, all the interest was collected.
Let the cash collected from sales to customers be t
As such,
$13,500 + $40,000 - t = $30,000
t = $13,500 + $40,000 - $30,000
t = $23,500
Total cash receipt = $23,500 + $700 = $24,200

The fifteen-year bond yields 6.7% and has a coupon of 8.7%. If this yield to maturity remains unchanged, what will be its price one year hence? Assume annual coupon payments and a face value of $100.
Answer:
The price of the bond in year's time is $117.81
Explanation:
In calculating the value in a year's time I used the financial function present value in excel
The inputs required are:
rate=yield=6.7%
interest on par value at 8.7%=100*8.7%=8.7
Face value=$100
Number of years is 14years(15-1), it is assumed that calculation is done a year from now.
The formula for present value in excel =PV(rate,nper,pmt,(fv),(type))
By slotting the variables as above, the pv is $117.81 as found in the attached
Final answer:
Explanation of bond pricing when yield to maturity is unchanged with a detailed formula application.
Explanation:
The present value of the coupon payments should indeed be calculated using the full remaining maturity of the bond, which is 15 years. Let's correct the calculation accordingly:
Given:
- Coupon rate (C) = 8.7%
- Yield to maturity (YTM) = 6.7%
- Face value (FV) = $100
- Time to maturity (n) = 15 years
After one year, the bond will have 14 years remaining until maturity.
1. Calculate the coupon payment one year from now:
Coupon payment = Coupon rate * Face value
= 8.7% * $100
= $8.70
2. Calculate the present value of the coupon payments:
PV of coupons = Coupon payment * [(1 - (1 + YTM)^-n) / YTM]
= $8.70 * [(1 - (1 + 0.067)^-15) / 0.067]
≈ $72.97
3. Calculate the present value of the face value received at maturity:
Since the face value is received at maturity (15 years from now), its present value is simply $100 discounted back by 14 years:
PV of face value = Face value / (1 + YTM)^n
= $100 / (1 + 0.067)^15
≈ $48.37
Now, sum up the present values of the coupon payments and the face value to find the price of the bond one year hence:
Price = PV of coupons + PV of face value
≈ $72.97 + $48.37
≈ $121.34

If countries are first ranked by level or real GDP per capita, and then by the value of the Human Development Index, would you expect the ranking of countries to be similar or different? Explain Shocks to an economy, such as wars, famines, or the unification of two economies. often generate large one-time flows of workers across borders. What are the short-run and long-run effects on an economy of a one-time permanent increase in the stock of labor? Use a diagram to guide your arguments.
Answer:
pol'k]pkp
p'm
Explanation:
mo[
The ranking of countries by real GDP per capita may differ from their ranking by Human Development Index as HDI considers broader development indicators. Short-run effects of an increased labor stock may include lower wages and higher unemployment, while long-run effects could lead to economic growth if paired with sufficient capital and technology.
When countries are ranked by real GDP per capita and then by the value of the Human Development Index (HDI), the rankings might differ because real GDP per capita is a measure of economic output adjusted for population, while HDI considers more nuanced aspects of development such as education, life expectancy, and income levels. An economy's performance in terms of GDP per capita may not fully capture the well-being of its people, which is why HDI rankings can diverge from GDP per capita rankings.
Shocks to an economy such as wars, famines, or unifications can lead to significant migration, impacting the labor market. A one-time permanent increase in the stock of labor in the short-run may cause wages to fall due to increased supply, potentially leading to higher unemployment if labor demand is static. In the long-run, however, the economy may adjust, and the additional labor can contribute to economic growth if accompanied by adequate capital and technological advancement.

"Thomson Trucking has $21 billion in assets, and its tax rate is 30%. Its basic earning power (BEP) ratio is 11%, and its return on assets (ROA) is 5%. What is its times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio? Round your answer to two decimal places."
Answer:
2.85
Explanation:
Given that,
Assets value = $21 billion
Tax rate = 30%
Basic earning power (BEP) ratio = 11%
Return on assets (ROA) = 5%
Basic earning power (BEP) ratio = EBIT ÷ Total assets
11% = EBIT ÷ $21 billion
EBIT = 11% × $21 billion
= $2.31 billion
ROA = Net Income ÷ Total Assets
5% = Net Income ÷ $21 billion
Net Income = 5% × $21 billion
= $1.05 billion
Earnings before tax:
= Net income ÷ (1 - tax)
= $1.05 billion ÷ (1 - 0.3)
= $1.5 billion
Interest Expense = EBIT - EBT
= $2.31 billion - $1.5 billion
= $0.81 billion
Therefore,
Times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio:
= EBIT ÷ Interest expense
= $2.31 billion ÷ $0.81 billion
= 2.85
An In the News article titled "Perpetuating Poverty: Lotteries Prey on the Poor" reports that poor people spend a larger percentage of their income on government-promoted gambling than do rich people. On the basis of this information, we can conclude that lotteries function as:_________.
A) An income tax.
B) A progressive tax.
C) A property tax.
D) A regressive tax.
Answer:
D) A regressive tax.
Explanation:
A regressive tax is one in which as the amount being taxed increases the tax on it reduces. Being regressive implies that there is reduction in the tax as the taxable amount increases.
In this case poor people are spending a larger percentage of their income on government promoted gambling than the percentage spent by rich people. So lotteries function as regressive tax tool.

Assume that you have a subsidiary in Australia. The subsidiary sells mobile homes to local consumers in Australia, who buy the homes using mostly borrowed funds from local banks. Your subsidiary purchases all of its materials from Hong Kong and pays Hong Kong dollar. The Hong Kong dollar is tied to the U.S. dollar. Your subsidiary borrowed funds from the U.S. parent, and must pay the parent $100,000 in interest each month. Australia has just raised its interest rate in order to boost the value of its currency (Australian dollar). The subsidiary’s cost of purchasing materials measured in Australian dollar will ____________. A. increase B. decrease C. not change
Answer:
B. decrease
Explanation:
The subsidiary's cost of purchasing materials measured in Australian dollar will decrease. The subsidiary in Australia sells mobile homes. It borrows funds from local bank and purchases material from Hong Kong and pays Hong Kong in HK$ which is tied to US dollar. So when Australian dollar appreciates against the Hong Kong dollar, it will appreciate against US dollar as the Hong Kong dollar is tied to US dollar. The subsidiary will pay decreased cost of purchasing material due to appreciations of A$ by increasing interest rate in Australia.
The cost of purchasing materials measured in Australian dollars will increase for the subsidiary. This is due to the rise in interest rates in Australia, which boosts the value of the Australian Dollar. As the Australian dollar gets stronger, it will require more dollars to purchase the same amount of Hong Kong dollars (linked to U.S. dollar).
Explanation:The subsidiary's cost of purchasing materials measured in Australian dollars would increase. This is due to the fact that Australia has raised its interest rates, which consequently would lead to a boost in the value of its currency (Australian dollar). In monetary value terms, as the Australian dollar gets stronger, you will require more dollars to purchase the same amount of Hong Kong dollars (which is linked to the U.S. dollar). Consequently, the rate of exchange between the Australian dollar and the Hong Kong dollar will change, more specifically it will increase. As a result, it will cost more in terms of the Australian dollar to buy the same amount of materials from Hong Kong.

The threat from substitutes is high when: a. switching costs are high. b. the substitute product's price is lower than the industry product's price. c. the quality of the substitute product is lower than the quality of the industry's product. d. the substitute product stimulates new process innovations within the industry.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Substitute goods refers to the goods which are having positive cross price elasticity of demand. This means that there is a direct relationship between the price of one good and the quantity demanded for its substitute good.
Therefore, the threat from substitutes is high when the price of substitute is lower the price of particular good because by offering a lower price for the same product induces consumers to buy product from this seller.
The substitute goods are having the similar characterstics and provide same level of satisfaction. That's why the consumers easily switch to the product with a lower price.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": the substitute product's price is lower than the industry product's price.
Explanation:
Threats are all external factors that potentially represent a disadvantage for firms. When it comes to competition between companies, if one of them decides to set the price of their goods or services below the industry's standard, the scenario represents a threat for the competitors since consumers are price-driven which means more of them will prefer to purchase the products of the company offering at lower prices.
Big Thumbs Company manufactures portable flash drives for computers. Big Thumbs incurs monthly depreciation costs of $15,000 on its plant equipment. Also, each drive requires materials and manufacturing overhead resources. On average, the company uses 10,000 ounces of materials to manufacture 5,000 flash drives per month. Each ounce of material costs $3.00. In addition, manufacturing overhead resources are driven by machine hours.

Total Manufacturing. Cost = $78,000
The total monthly cost for flash drives at Big Thumbs consists of a fixed cost of $15,000 and a variable cost of $10.50 per flash drive. If the company plans to produce 6,000 flash drives, the total variable cost is $63,000 and the total manufacturing cost is $78,000.
Explanation:The total cost of flash drives for Big Thumbs consists of fixed and variable costs. The fixed cost, which includes the monthly depreciation costs of the plant equipment, is $15,000. This amount remains the same regardless of the number of flash drives manufactured.
To calculate the variable rate per flash drive, we first identify the variable costs. The company uses 10,000 ounces of materials per month to manufacture 5,000 flash drives, and each ounce of material costs $3.00, yielding a material cost of $30,000. The variable manufacturing overhead resources amount to $22,500. Therefore, the total variable cost per month is the sum of these two costs, which equals $52,500. Since this cost is incurred to produce 5,000 flash drives, the variable cost per flash drive is $52,500 divided by 5,000, or $10.50.
If the department expects to manufacture 6,000 flash drives next month, the fixed cost remains at $15,000, while the total variable cost increases to $10.50 times 6,000, or $63,000. Thus, the total manufacturing cost, which is the sum of the fixed and variable costs, is $15,000 plus $63,000, totaling $78,000.

Compare and contrast anticipatory and response-based business models. Why has responsiveness become popular in supply chain collaborations?
Answer:
Forecast and planning
Explanation:
An anticipatory model is a model under which market forecast determines the production of products by the manufacturer, and purchases by retailers also determined by forecasts and promotional plans. Since the forecasts are wrong most of the times, anticipatory model usually leads to differences in the actual production of the firms and what they initially planned to produce.
Anticipatory Model is a risky model because anticipation of future events always determines the work to do by the firm.
On the contrary, the Responsive Business Model does not depend on forecasts, but ensure that what to be done are adequately planned and information among firms in the supply chain are properly exchanged. This makes the model not to be risky and ensure doing more than what has already been planned is avoided. Therefore, the aim of the responsive model which also known as Pull Model is to eliminate reliance on forecast.
The major reason the Responsive Model has become popular in supply chain collaborations is that it allows for the customization of products on smaller orders by customers. However, the Anticipatory Model does not give customers any choice or power but to buy or not buy.
Response-based strategy is the process of achieving positive change by changing the current state of affairs, perception of viewers in a good business understanding, enabling the company to execute its policy smoothly.
Why is a responsive supply chain important?
Because it enables manufacturers to reduce risk (the best performance of a provider saves costs and schedules online inefficient suppliers can be seen and managed).
The main difference between the anticipatory and response-based business models is:
In response-based business models predicting or anticipating consumer buying trends are eliminated by exchanging information between the parties involved in the supply chain. In the anticipatory business model, business operators share information to improve the efficiency and accuracy of supply chain operations. To clarify, managers can exchange information to predict future buying trends accurately or complete forecasts, thus coming up with the required amount of inventory to supply the market. The development of information technology has been the result of an increase in the transition from an anticipatory business model to responsive.This is because all parts of the supply chain can access and exchange information, thus avoiding matching processes.The response-based model has become popular for supply chain strategy and collaboration due to its ability to help organizations reduce operational costs.
It is possible to share information in the supply chain, thus developing designs to make it easier to eliminate costs associated with asset management.

After 15 years of employment in the airline industry, John started his own consulting company to use physical and computer simulation in the analysis of commercial airport accidents on runways. He estimates his average cost of new capital at 9% per year for physical simulation projects, that is, where he physically reconstructs the accident using scale versions of planes, buildings, vehicles, etc. He has established 18% per year as the MARR. What net rate of return on capital investments for physical simulation does he expect?
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
The first step is to understand the relevant terms in the question
Average Cost of New Capital
The cost of capital represents a required return rate (in percentage) an organisation or an individual ( in the case of John) will need to make a capital project advantageous, worthwhile or profitable.
In the case of John, the Average Cost of New Capital is 9%
MARR - Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return
This rate also in percentage represents the lowest or minimum rate of return a business or an individual is able to accept in order to start a given project. It is usually based on the risk of the project as well as the alternate benefit foregone if other projects were accepted.
It is also called the Hurdle rate, or the cutoff rate.
John's MARR is 18%
Based on these,
John's Net rate of return is calculated as follows
Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return - Average Cost of the New Capital
= 18% - 9% = 9%
To buy your first home, you take out a 15 year (fully amortizing) mortgage for $400,000 which requires equal yearly payments. The effective annual interest rate is 3.6%. How much principal do you pay off in year 2?
a. $13,659.21
b. $21,318.27
c. $34,977.48
d. $41,895.75
e. None of the above
Answer:
The principal paid off in year two $21,318.27
Explanation:
The arrangement for equal amount payable yearly to pay off the entire loan obligation (principal plus interest) is an annuity for 15years at 3.6%.
An annuity is a series of equal payment payable annually for certain number of years where interest is charged at a particular rate.
We can work out the annual equal installment using the Present Value (PV) annuity formula below:
PV = A ×( (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r)
So we can apply this formula to the question
PV - 400,000, r =3.6%= 0.036, n -15, A is equal instalment, not given.
400,000 = A ×( 1- (1.036)^(-15))/0.036
400,000 = A × 11.4359
A= 400,000/11.4359
A =34,977.47
Equal annual installment =$34,977.47
Now with the help of an amortization table we ascertain the amount of principal paid off in year 2:
Amortization Schedule
Bal @ beginning Interest Installment Principal Paid Principal bal.
A B = A *3.6% C D= C - B E =A-D
400,000.00 14,400.00 34,977.48 20,577.48 379,422.52
379,422.52 13,659.21 34,977.48 21,318.27
The amortization table is a schedule showing how the loan would be paid over the loan period.
Note that the columns are labelled as A, B, C, D and E starting from the left hand-side respectively
The principal paid off in year two is $21,318.27 which is the bolded figure in column D,
What is the present worth of these future payments? (a) $25,500 eight years from now at 12% com-pounded annually. (b) $58,000 twelve years from now at 4% com-pounded annually. (c) $25,000 nine years from now at 6% compounded annually. (d) $35,000 four years from now at 9% compounded annually.
Answer:
a. PV = $10,299.02
b. PV = $36,226.63
c. PV = $14,797.46
d. PV = $24,794.88
Explanation:
To solve this question, we use present value formula
PV = C/(1+r)^n
Where PV = Present value of a lump sum
C = Future amount to be discounted
r = Interest rate
n = Number of years
a. PV = C/(1+r)^n
C = $25,500
r = 12%
n = 8
PV = $25,500 /(1+12%)^8
PV = $25,500 /(1+0.12)^8
PV = $25,500 /(1.12)^8
PV = $25,500 /2.475963176
PV = $10,299.02231
PV = $10,299.02
b. PV = C/(1+r)^n
C = $58,000
r = 4%
n = 12
PV = $58,000 /(1+4%)^12
PV = $58,000 /(1+0.04)^12
PV = $58,000 /(1.04)^12
PV = $58,000 /1.601032219
PV = $36,226.62888
PV = $36,226.63
c. PV = C/(1+r)^n
C = $25,000
r = 6%
n = 9
PV = $25,000 /(1+6%)^9
PV = $25,000 /(1+0.06)^9
PV = $25,000 /(1.06)^9
PV = $25,000 /1.689478959
PV = $14,797.46159
PV = $14,797.46
c. PV = C/(1+r)^n
C = $35,000
r = 9%
n = 4
PV = $35,000 /(1+9%)^4
PV = $35,000 /(1+0.09)^4
PV = $35,000 /(1.09)^4
PV = $35,000 /1.41158161
PV = $24,794.88239
PV = $24,794.88

Explanation:
ratio 3:1 (3+1=4)
Morgan 15000 share of 3/4 = 75%
Halsted 5000 share of 1/4 = 25%
there is gain of 10,000 in the sale distribute as follow
Morgan 10,000 x 75% = 7,500
Halsted 10,000 x 75% = 2,500

Leo is 34 years old. He contributed $3,000 to a Roth IRA in 2015 and $2,000 in 2016. In 2018, he withdrew the entire balance, which had grown to $5,466. How much of Leo's withdrawal is taxable and subject to penalty?
Answer:
$466 is taxable and subject to penalty
Explanation:
The question is to determine the part of Leo's withdrawal that is taxable and then subject to penalty
Step 1:
What is Leo's contribution in 2015 = $3,000
What is his contribution in 2016 = $2,000
His total contribution = $3,000 + $2,000= $5,000
Step 2: We know that in 2018, Leo withdrew his entire balance which is = $5,466
This means, the excess on his contribution is interest
Leo's interest =$5,466 - $5,000= $466
Step 3:
The interest of $466, therefore, represents the interest on the $5,000 contributed and as such, since he withdrew the whole amount, the interest or the gain of $466 is taxable and the same $466 is subject to penalty
Cash Received from Customers—Direct Method
Sales reported on the income statement were $112,000. The accounts receivable balance decreased $10,500 over the year.
Determine the amount of cash received from customers.
Answer:
The cash received or collected from the customers amounts to $122,500
Explanation:
Cash receipts is the sum of all the cash amounts collected or received from the sale of the goods and on accounts receivable.
Cash received or collected from the customer is computed as:
Cash collected from customer = Sales + Decrease in accounts receivable
where
Sales amounts to $112,000
Decrease in accounts receivable amounts to $10,500
Putting the values above:
= $112,000 + $10,500
= $122,500
Therefore, the cash amounts to $122,500, received from customers.
