In a small town, there are four providers of broadband Internet access: a cable company the phone company, and two satellite companies. The Internet access offered by all four providers is of the same speed. Almost everyone in the city already has broadband, so any potential new company would have to engage in a price war with the existing companies and would be unlikely to cover its costs for years, if ever.

Answers

Answer:

No of Firms Present - 4 firms / few firms

Type of Product - Standadized Product

All the companies are offering a standadized product of broadband Internet access of the same speed.

Appropriate Market Model - Oligopoly

An Oligopoly is a concentrated market structure where a few firms dominate the market and offer the same products. Gaining entrance into this type of market is considered hard as the existing firms are already very entrenched and dislodging them will require a huge cash outlay. The Broadband internet market in this town is therefore an Oligopoly.

Suppose the rate of return on short-term government securities (perceived to be risk-free) is about 5%. Suppose also that the expected rate of return required by the market for a portfolio with a beta of 1 is 12%. According to the capital asset pricing model: a. What is the expected rate of return on the market portfolio?

Answers

Answer: 12%

Explanation:

The Capital Asset Pricing Model can be used to calculate the expected return of the portfolio using the formula;

Expected Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( market return - risk-free rate)

Expected Return = 5% + 1(12% - 5%)

Expected Return= 5% + 7%

Expected Return = 12%

A stock has a beta of 1.15, the expected return on the market is 10.3 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.8 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be

Answers

Answer:

11.28%

Explanation:

A stock has a beta of 1.15

The expected return on the market is 10.3%

The risk-free rate is 3.8%

Therefore, the expected return on the stock can be calculated as follows

Expected return= Risk-free rate+beta(expected return on the market-risk-free rate)

= 3.8%+1.15(10.3%-3.8%)

= 3.8%+(1.15×6.5)

= 3.8%+7.475

= 11.28%

Hence the expected return on the stock is 11.28%

Cpk =

Answers

Answer:

A) 1.111

B) 0.889

Explanation:

given data :

outer diameter of connecting rods = 1 ± 0.01 inch

sample mean outer diameter = 1.002 inches

standard deviation = 0.003 inches

A) Calculating the Cp of the process

mean = 1.002

Standard deviation = 0.003

LSL = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99

USL = 1 + 0.01 = 1.01

[tex]Cp = \frac{USL - LSL}{6 * STANDARD DEVIATION}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{1.01-0.99}{6*0.003}[/tex] = 1.111

B) calculate Cpk

mean = 1.002, LSL = 0.99, USL = 1.01 , deviation = 0.003

[tex]Cpk = min[\frac{mean-LSL}{3* deviation} , \frac{USL- mean}{3*deviation} ][/tex]

       = min [(0.012/0.009) , (0.008/0.009) ]

       = min [ 1.333, 0.889 ]

hence Cpk = 0.889

Indicate whether the following changes would cause a shift in the demand curve for Product A and, if so, the direction of the shift.
Change Demand curve shift? Direction of shift?
Increase in price of complementary product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Increase in the price of the Product A Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Launch of effective advertising campaign for Product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A

Answers

Answer:

yes decrease

No N/A

Yes, Increase

Explanation:

A complementary good is a good that is consumed together. If the price of the complementary good increases, the quantity demanded of the good would decrease. this would lead to a decrease in demand for product A.

an increase in the price of product A, would increase the quantity demanded. an increase in quantity demanded leads to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift of the demand curve

An effective advertising campaign would increase the visibility of the product and increase the demand for the product. an increase in demand leads to an outward shift of the demand curve.

The marketing staff wants to supply pens with attached USB drives to clients. In the past this client has been victimized by social engineering attacks that led to a loss of sensitive data. The security administrator instructs the marketing staff not to supply the USB pens due to which of the following?
A. The cost associated with distributing a large volume of the USB pens
B. The security costs associated with securing the USB drives over time
C. The security risks associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network
D. The risks associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature

Answers

Answer: C. The security risks associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network

D. The risks associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature

Explanation:

Based on the scenario that has been discussed in the question, the security administrator will instructs the marketing staff not to supply the USB pens based on the security risks that are associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network.

Another reason is due to the risks that are associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature.

Since the client has been victimized by social engineering attacks that led to a loss of sensitive data in the past, they'll be extra careful this time around.

Portfolio managers pick stocks for their clients’ portfolios based on the investment objective of the portfolio and several other factors. One key consideration is each stock’s contribution to portfolio risk and its statistical relationship with the portfolio’s other stocks. Based on your understanding of portfolio risk, identify whether each statement is true or false.

Answers

Answer:

False True True False

Explanation:

First one is false because diversification reduces risk because it divides the risk amongst different securities. The portfolio risk will therefore be lower than the average of all stocks' standard deviations.

Second one is true because unsystematic risk is risk that will come with the type of stock or security purchased. It is usually referred to as diversifiable risk because using negatively correlated stocks can help diversify this risk.

Third one is True because the portfolio's risk when diversified is indeed likely to be smaller than the average of all stocks' standard deviation.

Fourth one is false because portfolio risk is reduced if stock that are negatively correlated are put into a portfolio because it means that when one stock is not doing so well, the other being negatively correlated, will be doing fine.

A machine costs $600000 and is expected to yield an after tax net income of $23000 each year. Managment predicts this machine has a 10 year service life and a $120000 salvage value, and it uses straight line depreciation. Compute this machine's accounting rate of return

Answers

Answer:

6.39%

Explanation:

The cost of the machine is $600,000

The net income is $23,000

The management predict a that it has a 10 years service life

The salvage value is $120,000

The first step is to calculate the average investment

Average investment= (Cost of machine+Salvage value)/2

= $600,000+$120,000/2

= $720,000/2

= $360,000

Therefore, the accounting rate of return can be calculated as follows

= Annual net income/Average investment

= $23,000/$360,000

= 0.0639×100

= 6.39%

Hence the accounting rate of return is 6.39%

Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?

Answers

Answer:

$118,421

Explanation:

first we must calculate the expected value of the risky portfolio = ($70,000 x 0.5) + ($200,000 x 0.5) = $135,000

since your risk premium is 8% and the risk free rate is 6%m then you should discount the expected value by 8% + 6% = 14% to determine its current market price

= $135,000 / (1 + 14%) = $118,421

Answers

Answer:

Cash $1,170.89

Cash Over/Short $15.45

     To Sales Revenue  $1,186.34

(Beingthe cash is recorded)

Explanation:

Before passing the journal entry first we have to determine the ending cash balance which is shown below:

Ending Cash Balance is

= Opening Cash Balance + Sales

= $180 + $1,186.34

= $1,366.34

Short cash is

= Ending cash balance - cash on hand

= $1,366.34 - $1,350.89

= $15.45

And, the actual cash is

= Cash on hand - opening cash balance

= $1,350.89 - $180

= $1,170.89

Now the journal entry is

Cash $1,170.89

Cash Over/Short $15.45

     To Sales Revenue  $1,186.34

suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.8 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 4.7 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond = €875.09

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond would  be worked out as follows:

Step 1  

Calculate the PV of interest payments

Annual interest payment

= 3.8% × 1,000 = 38

PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- annual yield = 4.7%

n- 23

PV of interest payment= 38 × (1-(1.047^(-23)/0.047 =  €527.37

Step 2

PV of redemption Value

PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)

PV = 1,000  × (1.047)^(-23)  = €347.717

Step 3

Price of bond

=  527.37+  347.717 = €875.09

Price of bond = €875.09
