Answer:
0.488
Explanation:
Mean annual return for common stocks = 16.5%
standard deviation of annual return = 19%
Determine the probability that the stock returns are greater than 17%
P ( Stock returns > 17% )
stock returns = x
= 1 - p ( x - μ / 6 < 17 - 16.5 / 19 )
∴ 1 - p ( Z < 0.03 )
= 1 - 0.5120 = 0.488

Suppose that there is no third-party payer in the medical care market in Uganda in 1955. Suppose that in 1960, health insurance companies begin operations in Uganda. All else being equal, what does supply and demand analysis predict will happen in the medical care market in 1960
Answer: b. Total expenditures will increase
Explanation:
Medical insurance reduces the amount that people have to pay to get health related services. Ugandans from the year 1960 can be expected to pay less for medical services as a result.
If people are able to pay less for a good or service, the normal thing that they would do would be to demand more of that good and service because it is more affordable. Total expenditure in the medical field will increase as a result.
Financial statement data for years ending December 31 for Tango Company follow: 20Y7 20Y6 Cost of goods sold $3,894,185 $4,002,225 Inventories: Beginning of year 795,700 773,800 End of year 861,400 795,700 Required a. Determine the inventory turnover for 20Y7 and 20Y6. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
A. 20Y7 Inventory Turnover 4.7
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=5.1
B. 20Y7 77.66 days
20Y6 71.57 days
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the inventory turnover for 20Y7 and 20Y6
Using this formula
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average inventory
Let plug in the formula
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/[(795,700+861,400)/2]
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/($1,657,100/2)
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/828,550
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=4.7
20Y6 Inventory Turnover= $4,002,225/(773,800+795,700)/2]
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=$4,002,225/(1,569,500/2)
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=$4,002,225/784,750
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=5.1
B. Calculation to determine the number of days' sales in inventory for 20Y7 and 20Y6
Days in inventory = 365/Inventory Turnover
20Y7 Days in inventory=365/4.7=77.66 days
20Y6 Days in inventory=365/5.1=71.57 days
Quickbrush Paint Company is developing a linear program to determine the optimal quantities of ingredient A and ingredient B to blend together to make oil-base and water-base paint. The oil-base paint contains 90 percent A and 10 percent B, whereas the water-base paint contains 30 percent A and 70 percent B. Quickbrush currently has 10,000 gallons of ingredient A and 5,000 gallons of ingredient B in inventory and cannot obtain more at this time. Assuming that x represents the number of gallons of oil-base paint, and y represents the gallons of water-base paint, which constraint is correctly represents the constraint on ingredient A?
A. .9x + .3y ≤ 10,000
B. .9A + .1B ≤ 10,000
C. .9x + .1y ≤ 10,000
D. .3x + .7y ≤ 10,000
Answer:
A. 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000
Explanation:
Given
[tex]x \to[/tex] oil based plant
[tex]y \to[/tex] water based plant
The data can be represented in tabular form as:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {A} & {B} & {x} & {90\%} & {10\%} & {y} & {30\%} & {70\%} & {} & {10000} & {5000}\ \end{array}[/tex]
Considering only A, we have the following constraints:
[tex]A \to 90\% * x + 30\% * y[/tex]
[tex]A \to 0.9x + 0.3y[/tex]
Since the company currently has 10000 of A.
The above constraint implies that, the mixture cannot exceed 10000.
So, we have:
[tex]A \to 0.9x + 0.3y \le 10000[/tex]
Hence, (A) is correct
Scenario 34-1. Take the following information as given for a small, imaginary economy: When income is $10,000, consumption spending is $6,500. When income is $11,000, consumption spending is $7,250. Refer to Scenario 34-1. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is
Answer:
0.75
Explanation:
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is the change in consumption due to change in income
Change in consumption = $7,250 - $6,500 = $750
Change in income = $11,000 - $10,000 = $1,000
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
MPC = 750 / 100
MPC = 0.75

The nominal interest rate is 6%. Expected inflation is 2%. Actual inflation is 1%. Calculate the ex-ante and ex-post real interest rates. Who benefits from lower actual inflation
Answer:
1. Ex-ante real interest rate is:
= 4%
2. Ex-post real interest rate is:
= 5%
3. The LENDER benefits from lower actual inflation. By this, the Ex-ante real interest rate is lower than the Ex-post real interest rate at which the borrower will repay the loan.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Nominal interest = 6%
Expected inflation = 2%
Actual inflation = 1%
Ex-ante real interest rate = 4% (6% - 2%)
Ex-post real interest rate = 5% (6% - 1%)
b) The implication is that inflation is lower than expected, and this benefits the lender at the expense of the borrower. The opposite is applicable when the inflation is higher than expected, and the result benefits the borrower at the expense of the lender.

An export subsidy will ________ producer surplus, ________ consumer surplus, ________ government revenue, and ________ overall domestic national welfare.
Answer:
increase; decrease; decrease; decrease.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;
I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.
II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.
An export subsidy can be defined as any government policy that encourages the export of goods to other countries while discouraging the sales of goods in the domestic market through the use of tax reliefs, low cost loans, government foreign adverts, etc.
A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.
Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.
Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.
Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus, decrease consumer surplus, decrease government revenue, and decrease overall domestic national welfare.
Jeremy loans $2,500 to his son on the condition that he repays with 5 annual payments consisting of interest on the outstanding balance and equal amounts of principal repayments. Payments are made at the end of the year. Jeremy deposits the total payment he receives into a fund that accumulates at the same interest rate. Given that his son repaid $517.50 at the end of the 5th year, how much has the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years?
Answer:
$2,969.22
Explanation:
Equal principal repayment=$2,500/5
Equal principal repayment=$500
The fact that Jeremy's son repaid $517.50 at the end of the 5th year, means that the interest paid in year 5 is the difference between the amount repaid($517.50) and the equal principal repayment($500)
interest paid in year 5=$517.50-$500=$17.50
That also means that the balance outstanding at the beginning of year 5( at the end of year 4) is $500, which effectively means that the interest rate on the loan is the determined thus:
interest paid in year 5=balance at the end of year 4*interest rate
$17.50=$500*interest rate
interest rate=$17.50/$500
interest rate=3.50%
The schedule of repayment is attached
The first repayment would be invested for 4 years, since it is occurring at the end of year 1( in years 2-5), the year 2 repayment would be invested for only 3 years and so on.
FV value of reinvestment of repayment=$587.50*(1+3.50%)^4+$570.00*(1+3.5%)^3+$552.50*(1+3.5%)^2+$535.00*(1+3.5%)^1+$517.50
FV value of reinvestment of repayment=$2,969.22
Answer:
The amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years is $2,648.23.
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculation of interest rate
The interest rate can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
Interest rate = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type) .............(1)
Where;
nper = number of periods = number of years = 5
pmt = Fixed annual payments = Amount repaid by his son at the end of the 5th year = $517.50 = 517.50
pv = present value = Loan amount = $2,500 = 2500
fv = future value = desired cash balance after last payment = 0
type = when payments are due (0 = end of period. 1 = beginning of period) = 0
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest rate RATE(5,517.50,-2500,0,0) .................. (2)
Inputting =RATE(5,517.50,-2500,0,0) into a cell in an excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have:
Interest rate = 1.16%
Step 2: Calculation of the amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (3)
Where,
FV = Future value = The amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years =
M = Fixed annual payments = $517.50
r = Interest rate = 1.16%, or 0.0116
n = number of years = 5
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
FV = $517.50 * (((1 + 0.0116)^5 - 1) / 0.0116)
FV = $517.50 * 5.11735342258641
FV = $2,648.23
Therefore, the amount the fund accumulated to by the end of the 5 years is $2,648.23.

Chelsea’s manager sent her an email asking to meet, for an unspecified reason, the following Friday. Upon reading this email, Chelsea remembered a situation six months prior when her manager sent such as email to another team member. During that meeting, the team member was laid off from the organization. Based on this recollection, Chelsea is extremely worried about the upcoming meeting with her boss. Which type of bias is being represented? Multiple Choice representative bias recency bias overconfidence Bias framing bias confirmation bias
Answer: Representative bias
Explanation:
Representative bias occurs when two decisions are wrongly compared by a decision maker due to the fact that there's a perceived similarity between the cases.
Regarding the question, since a similar situation led to the laying off of an employee, Chelsea is already worried that she'll be laid off as well even though this may not be the case. In such cases, due to the similarity, this confuses people's thinking.
When the similarity of objects or events confuses people’s thinking about the possibility of an outcome, it is called representative bias. Thus, Option A. is the correct answer.
What is representative bias?Representative bias occurs when two decisions are incorrectly compared to the decision-maker because there are obvious similarities between the cases.
In terms of the question, as the same situation has led to the dismissal of the employee, Chelsea is already worried that he too will be retrenched even though this does not happen.
In such cases, because of similarities in the two events, this confuses people's thinking and lets them assume a particular situation.
Thus, Option A. Representative Bias is the correct answer.

35. The three all-encompassing internal resource categories used in the resource-based view are physical resources, human resources, and ___________________
Answer:
Organizational resources.
Explanation:
A resource-based view can be defined as a managerial framework or model that is typically used by an organization to examine and determine the fundamental resources that it can use or exploit in order to achieve competitive advantage that is sustainable over a period of time.
The three (3) all-encompassing internal resource categories used by many businesses in the resource-based view are physical resources, human resources, and organizational resources.
Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.
This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.
