Answer:
0.34134 ; 0.84134; 0.15866
Explanation:
Given that:
Mean (m) = 28
Standard deviation (s) = 9
Proportion of players;
a. between 19 and 28
P(x < 28) - P(x < 19)
Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
[Z = (28 - 28) / 9] - [Z = (19 - 28) /9]
P(Z < 0) - P(Z < - 1)
0.5 - 0.15866 [Z probability calculator]
= 0.34134
b. between 28 and 37
P(x < 37) - P(x < 28)
Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
[Z = (37 - 28) / 9] - [Z = (28 - 28) /9]
P(Z < 1) - P(Z < 0)
0.84134 - 0 [Z probability calculator]
= 0.84134
c. older than 37
P(x > 37)
Z = (x - m) / s
Z = (37 - 28) / 9
Z = 9/9 = 1
P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z < 1)
P(Z > 1) = 1 - 0.84134
P(Z > 1) = 1 - 0.84134
P(Z > 1) = 0.15866

The political risks facing a multinational firm can be categorized as"
Answer:
macro risk and micro risk.
Explanation:
Political risks are crucial factors for a multinational company to make investments in a given country, due to the instability of the country's political scenario that can bring negative adverse effects to the company in a context of macro risk and micro risk.
Macro risk is that which is inherent in the country and affects all economic sectors equally, such as the risk of government expropriation.
Micro risk, on the other hand, is one that will impact only a specific business sector, such as corruptions that aim to defraud or harm an organization.

In examining investors’ preferences for dividends, it is useful to begin with the concept of dividend irrelevance. Dividend irrelevance suggests that in a world with no taxes or brokerage (or transaction) costs, firms and investors are indifferent to the paying or receiving of dividends. However, as these restrictions are relaxed, various factors suggest that firms should pursue high or low payouts. One such factor is:
Answer: Favor a high payout
Explanation:
Investors are allowed to exclude as much as 70% of dividend income from taxes. They will therefore demand a higher payout in terms of investment so that they make make more income after they exclude taxes.
For instance, assume investors had a choice between receiving $40 and $60 in dividends.
On $40, the non-taxable amount would be = 40 * 70% = $28
On $60, the non-taxable amount would be = 60 * 70% = $42
They will pick the higher payout of $60 in order to get more income after tax.
Suppose the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announces that it is raising its target interest rate by 50 basis points, or 0.50%. It would achieve this by _____________________: The sequence of events that results in a new equilibrium interest rate, after the Fed makes the change you selected, may be described as follows: Because there is ____________ in the financial system the quantity of money demanded __________.
Answer: decreasing money supply; less; decreases.
Explanation:
When the Federal Reserve wants to increase its target interest rate by 50 basis points, this can be done if the Fed reduces the money supply that is in circulation.
This will in turn, lead to a new equilibrium rate and there will also be a decrease in money in the financial system as there'll be a reduction in the quantity of money demanded.
Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $28,500 a year for 6 years as a result. This expansion requires $95,800 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $7,000 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 10 percent
Answer:
$25,276
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
The Present value of inflows is
= Cash inflow × Present value of discounting factor (rate% , number of years)
= $28,500 ÷ 1.1 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^2 + $285,00 ÷ 1.1^3 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^4 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^5 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^6 + $7,000 ÷ 1.1^6
= $128,076.25
And,
Present value of outflows is
= $95,800 + $7,000
= $102,800
So
As we know that
NPV = Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows
= $128,076.25 - $102,800
= $25,276
“EBIT is generally considered to be independent of financial leverage, because EBIT is the result of a firm’s operating effectiveness. However, with an excessive debt levels, EBIT might actually be influenced by financial leverage.”
Comment on the statement above.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
EBIT is known as an accounting measure to determine the profit level of a firm. It is an acronym of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.
EBIT is generally considered to be independent of financial leverage because EBIT is the result of a firm’s operating effectiveness.
This is true because, EBIT is based on the firm's level of sales and cost of operation, of which financial leverage has no effects on it.
However, with excessive debt levels, EBIT might be influenced by financial leverage.
This implies that even though the financial leverage of a firm has no direct influence on EBIT, in a situation whereby a firm is operating at huge deficits, every aspect of the film will be concerned. This will include staff, customers, investors, and operational activities, thereby affecting the firm's sales and cost of operation. As a result, this will ultimately affect the firm's EBIT.

Answer:
38.46%
The question
Based on the information given, compute stock returns.
Explanation:
The percentage return will be
The actual returns/ amount invested x 100
Returns represent gains from the share.
1. The gain in share price
= Current value - original value
=($12 x 500 ) - ($10 x 500)
=$6,000 - $5,000
=$1,000
2. gain from dividends
=$2 x 500
=$1,000
Total gain = $1000 + 1000 = $2000
The amount invested = original value + commissions
=($10 x 500) + $200
=$5200
The percentage gain
= $2000/5200 x 100
=0.384615 x 100
=38.46%

The total asset market value of General Motors (GM) is $10 billion. GM has an equity market value (market capitalization) of $7 billion of equity. What are the weights in equity and debt that are used for calculating the WACC, respectively
Answer:
0.70,0.30
Explanation:
Calculation for the weights in equity and debt that are used for calculating the WACC respectively
Calculation for weights in equity
Weights in equity= $7 million / $10 million
Weights in equity = 0.70
Therefore the Weights in equity will be 0.70
Calculation for debt
Debt = ($10 million - $7 million) / $10 million
Debt=$3millon/$10 million
Debt= 0.30
Therefore the debt that are used for calculating the WACC will be 0.30
NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $0.47 a share. The following dividends will be $0.52, $0.67, and $0.97 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 3.3 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 14 percent
Answer:
P0 = $7.383535 rounded off to $7.38
Explanation:
Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n +
[(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
r is the required rate of return
g is the constant growth rate in dividends
n is the number of years
P0 = 0.47 / (1+0.14) + 0.52 / (1+0.14)^2 + 0.67 / (1+0.14)^3 +
0.97 / (1+0.14)^4 + [(0.97 * (1+0.033) / (0.14 - 0.033)) / (1+0.14)^4]
P0 = $7.383535 rounded off to $7.38

Gallonte Inc. began operations in April of this year. It makes all sales on account, subject to the following collection pattern: 30% are collected in the month of sale; 60% are collected in the first month after sale; and 10% are collected in the second month after sale. If sales for April, May, and June were $60,000, $80,000, and $70,000, respectively, what were the firm's budgeted collections for May
Answer:
Total cash collection May= $60,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash collection:
30% are collected in the month of sale
60% are collected in the first month after sale
10% are collected in the second month after sale.
Sales:
April= $60,000
May= $80,000
We need to calculate the cash collection for May:
Cash collection:

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Inventory purchase on January 20, 2019 = $12,500
Credit terms = 2/15, n/60
Net-of-discount purchase = $12,250 ($12,500 - 250)
Payment of invoice on February 15, 2019 = $12,500
b) The difference between the net and gross discount methods is that under the gross discount method, the purchases and Accounts Payable are initially recorded at full value. On the other hand, under the net discount method, the purchases and Accounts Payable are initially recorded at a reduced value.
