You have $13,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 11.45 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y
Answer:
You should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Explanation:
These can be estimated as follows:
PER = (ERX * wX) + (ERY * wY) ....................... (1)
Where,
PER = Portfolio expected return = 11.45%, or 0.1145
ERX = Expected return of X = 13%, or 0.13
ERY = Expected retun of Y = 8%, or 0.08
wX = Weight of X = ?
wY = Weight of Y = 1 - wX = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
0.1145 = [0.13 * wX] + [0.08 * (1 - wX)]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + [0.08 - 0.08wX]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + 0.08 - 0.08wX
0.1145 - 0.08 = 0.13wX - 0.08wX
0.0345 = 0.05wX
wX = 0.0345 / 0.05
wX = 0.69
Since wY = 1 - wX
Therefore,
wY = 1 - 0.69
wY = 0.31
Total amount to invest = $13,000
Investment in stock X = Amount to invest * 0.69 = $13,000 * 0.69 = $8,970
Investment in stock Y = Amount to invest * 0.31 = $13,000 * 0.31 = $4.030
Therefore, you should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Suppose that a small company that makes a standardized product is experiencing an increase in sales even though it has a small geographic footprint. Currently, the founder makes all of the strategic decisions but is beginning to feel overwhelmed. She has decided to pursue a cost-leadership strategy going forward. In order for the firm to achieve its goals, which of the following business-level structures should the firm adopt?
a. an ambidextrous functional structure
b. a centralized functional structurea flexible organic structure
c. a centralized multidivisional structure
d. a simple structure with the founder's imprint
Answer: b. a centralized functional structure
Explanation:
Cost Leadership refers to a situation where a company is better at cost management that other companies in the industry. If a company can produce at a lower cost, they can capture more market share and be more profitable.
When a company wants to engage in cost Leadership one of the best structures to adopt is the Centralised functional structure. This is when decisions are usually made at a top management level in a company that is divided by functions such as Information Technology, Sales, Marketing etc.
By making the structure centralised, the company can make Standardised products on a company wide basis which is very effective in cost saving as the company is able to plan better and spend less because they will be buying resources and producing in bulk. That advantage from Economies of Scale will keep their costs low.

You find the following Treasury bond quotes. To calculate the number of years until maturity, assume that it is currently May 2019 and the bond has a par value of $1,000. Rate Maturity Mo/Yr Bid Asked Chg Ask Yld ?? May 24 103.4690 103.5418 +.3093 6.119 5.524 May 29 104.5030 104.6487 +.4365 ?? 6.193 May 39 ?? ?? +.5483 4.151 In the above table, find the Treasury bond that matures in May 2029. What is your yield to maturity if you buy this bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
4.93%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to maturity we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $1,046.487
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 5.524% ÷ 2 = $27.62
NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years
The 10 years is come from
= May 2029 - May 2019
= 10 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
The yield to maturity is
= 2.46% × 2
= 4.93%

Assume India can produce either 15 bottles of milk or 50 cartons of eggs using all of its available resources, and Indonesia can produce either 25 bottles of milk or 35 cartons of eggs using all of its available resources. After each country fully specializes in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage, how many cartons of eggs will India produce
Answer:
50 cartons of eggs
Explanation:
The comparative advantage is a principle in which a country specializes in the production a good in which it has a lower opportunity cost than others.
Bottles of milk cartons of eggs
India 15 50
Indonesia 25 35
In this situation, the opportunity cost for India of producing 1 bottle of milk is producing 3.33 cartons of eggs. The opportunity cost for Indonesia of producing 1 bottle of milk is producing 1.4 cartons of eggs. This means that Indonesia has a lower opportunity cost and a comparative advantage in producing bottles of milk.
In the other part, the opportunity cost for India of producing 1 carton of eggs is producing 0.3 bottles of milk and the opportunity cost for Indonesia of producing 1 carton of eggs is producing 0.71 bottles of milk. This means that India has a lower opportunity cost and a comparative advantage in producing cartons of eggs.
According to this, India would specialize in producing eggs as it has a comparative advantage and the country will produce 50 cartons of eggs.
Carroll Corporation has two products, Q and P. During June, the company's net operating income was $24,000, and the common fixed expenses were $52,000. The contribution margin ratio for Product Q was 40%, its sales were $137,000, and its segment margin was $44,000. If the contribution margin for Product P was $42,000, the segment margin for Product P was:
Answer:
$32,000= Segment margin product P
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company net operating income= $24,000
Common fixed costs= $52,000
Product Q:
Segment margin= $44,000
Contribution margin for Product P= $42,000
We need to calculate the segment margin for Product P.
Net income= Segment margin product P + Segment margin product Q - common fixed costs
24,000= Segment margin product P + 44,000 - 52,000
32,000= Segment margin product P
(LaVilla) LaVilla is a village in the Italian Alps. Given its enormous popularity among
Swiss, German, Austrian, and Italian skiers, all of its beds are always booked in the winter
season and there are, on average, 1,200 skiers in the village. On average, skiers stay in
LaVilla for 10 days.
a. How many new skiers are arriving—on average—in LaVilla every day?
b. A study done by the largest hotel in the village has shown that skiers spend on average $50 per person on the first day and $30 per person on each additional day in local
restaurants. The study also forecasts that—due to increased hotel prices—the average
length of stay for the 2003/2004 season will be reduced to five days. What will be the
percentage change in revenues of local restaurants compared to last year (when skiers
still stayed for 10 days)? Assume that hotels continue to be fully booked!
Q2.6 (Highway) While driving home for the holidays, you can’t seem to get Little’s Law out of
Answer:
a) 120 skiers per day
b) 6.25% increase in revenue
Explanation:
a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.
__
b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...
50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n
and the average spending per day is ...
(20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30
So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...
20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day
And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...
20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day
The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...
(34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%
Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.

Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
B. What are the company policies when it comes to handling bribery?
This is a good question to ask because it aims to find out how the company deals with a very important ethical issue which is that of bribery. Your supervisor needs to tell you how the company normally deals with bribery so that you can act appropriately and abide by the ethics of the company.
B. Inform the executive that this extra $10,000 wasn’t in the original contract. Avoid assuming unethical behavior until you clarify what he is asking for in relation to the agreed-upon contract.
You should tell the Executive that the sum of money he is requesting for was not in the original budget and inquire to know why he needs it so that you may know if it is something you can acquire. It is sometimes best to wait for an explanation first before rushing to conclusions and this is one of those times.
A. Find alternatives.
B. Don’t rationalize shady decisions.
D. Refuse business if it violates you basic values.

Also as much as you are in a different cultures, some behaviours will always be unethical, refusing business that violates your basic values shoeshowss Moral Initiative.
A. Team members with different backgrounds come up with more effective problem-solving techniques, providing your company with a competitive advantage over other companies.
As the saying goes, "two heads are better than one". This is very important in teams with diversity because different cultures and backgrounds have evolved differently and found out different ways to come up with solutions to problems with some being better than others. Having team members from various backgrounds brings that information together to chart a better path forward which can then give a Competitive Advantage.

Godcare, an insurance firm based in California, had difficulties expanding their operations to Asian markets as most of their target countries had strict regulations on transferring the details of the customers among the different branches of the firm. The company had to obtain an approval from its customers before sharing their personal information with its branches in other countries. Which of the following barriers is most likely to have affected the services of Godcare in the given scenario?a. Protectionismb. Control on transborder data flowsc. Protection of intellectual propertyd. Cultural requirements for adaptatione. Language translation barriers
Answer:
The correct answer is: b. Control on transborder data flows.
Explanation:
Control on transborder data flows was the barrier that probably affected Godcare services in the scenario above.
The insurance company had this barrier of control of transborder data when expanding its business to Asian countries with stricter regulations on the transfer of customer data.
Generally, these government restrictions arise to protect against possible abuses and invasions of privacy, which meant that the company needed the approval of each customer to share their personal information with its branches in other countries.

Industry averages for the following four risk ratios are as follows:
Average collection period 25 days
Average days in inventory 60 days
Current ratio 2 to 1
Debt to equity ratio 50%
Required:
Calculate the four risk ratios listed above for Adrian Express in 2018.
Answer:
Industry average Adrian Express
Average collection period 25 days 31 days
Average days in inventory 60 days 152 days
Current ratio 2 3.91
Debt to equity ratio 50% 109%
Explanation:
Average collection period = (average accounts receivable / total net credit sales) x 365 days = {[(1,620,000 + 1,310,000) / 2] / 17,262,000} x 365 days = 30.98 ≈ 31 days
Average days in inventory = 365 days / inventory turnover
inventory turnover = COGS / average inventory = 10,624,000 / [(4,710,000 4,150,000) / 2] = 2.4
Average days in inventory = 365 days / 2.4 = 152 days
Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities = (cash + accounts receivable + inventory) / $1,930,000 = ($1,220,000 + $1,620,000 + $4,710,000) / $1,930,000 = $7,550,000 / $1,930,000 =3.91
Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $4,200,000 / $3,860,000 = 1.09 or 109%

A financial advisor offers you two investment opportunities. Both offer a rate of return of 11%. Investment A promises to pay you $450 in 1 year, $650 in 2 years, and $850 in 3 years. Investment B promises to pay you $850 in 1 year, $x in 2 years, and $450 in 3 years. What must x be to make you indifferent between Investing A and B
Answer:
The value of x is 566.36
Explanation:
The value of x should be such that the present value of both Investments is the same when discounted at a rate of 11%. To calculate the present value, we use the following formula,
Present Value = CF 1 / (1+r) + CF 2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n
Where,
CF represents Cash flowr represents the discount rateSo, we equate both the present value of Investment A and B to calculate the value of x.
Present Value of A = Present Value of B
450/(1.11) + 650/(1.11)^2 + 850/(1.11)^3 = 850/(1.11) + x/(1.11)^2 + 450/(1.11)^3
1554.472661 = 765.7657658 + x/(1.11)^2 + 329.0361216
1554.472661 - 765.7657658 - 329.0361216 = x/(1.11)^2
459.6707736 * (1.11)^2 = x
x = 566.3603602 rounded off to 566.36
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:
$340,000
Explanation:
Statement of cash flow ( year-end December 31, 2012)
Operating activities Cashflow
Net Income = $5,000,000
Add back: Depreciation = $440,000
Net cashflow = $5,440,000
Investing activities Cashflow
Cash paid for machinery = ($5,400,000)
Net cashflow = ($5,400,000)
Financing activities Cashflow
Cash receipt from issuing long term debt =$1,000,000
Cash paid for dividends =(800,000)
Net cashflow =$200,000
Net increase = ($5,440,000-$5,400,000+$200,000)
Net increase in cash = $240,000
Opening balance as at 1 Jan 2012 =$100,000
Closing balance as at 31 Dec 2012 =($100,000+$240,000) = $340,000
Joanna was laid off from her job 11 months ago. After searching for a job for months, Joanna finds a job but is only offered part-time work. Joanna would rather be working full-time. Economists would classify Joanna as
Answer:
Underemployed.
Explanation:
This is basically explained as not having enough payed job or working part time; it is also explained to not be usually able to maximize your skills or bring the best in you in the nearest future. In some cases it is a situation of insufficient employment pattern towards a skilled man or a worker in any field that is been presented as the case may be.
This can be seen in a part-time job despite having a burning passion for full time work, and also over-qualification.
Consumption (household sector) spending is the largest component of:_______
a. Aggregate output
b. Aggregate income
c. Aggregate employment
d. Aggregate supply
e. Aggregate demand
Answer:
a. Aggregate output
Explanation:
Aggregate output can also be referred to as GDP. Gross domestic product is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach:
GDP = Consumption spending + Investment spending by businesses + Government Spending + Net Export
Consumption spending usually represents 70% of aggregate output.

Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 785,000 candles for January. Each candle requires molding. Assume that six minutes are required to mold each candle. If molding labor costs $18 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for January. Pasadena Candle Inc. Direct Labor Cost Budget For the Month Ending January 31 Hours required for assembly: Candles min. Convert minutes to hours ÷ min. Molding hours hrs. Hourly rate × $ Total direct labor cost
Answer:
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.
Explanation:
The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.
Direct labour budget = Production budget × standard hours × standard labour rate per hour
Standard hour = 6/60 =0.1 (note there are 60 minutes in an hour)
Direct labour budget = 785,000 × 0.1× 18 = $1,413,000.
Direct labour cost budget= $1,413,000.
Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C: Product L Product C Contribution margin per unit $24 $18 Machine-hours needed per unit 3 hours 2 hours The company can only perform 14,200 machine hours each period, due to limited skilled labor and there is unlimited demand for each product. What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period?
Answer:
Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800
Explanation:
Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource
The highest contribution from the 4,200 machine hours could be determined as follows:
Step 1 : Contribution per hour
Contribution per machine hour = contribution per unit/ machine hour
Product L Product C
$ $
Contribution 24 18
Machine hour 3 2
Contribution per hour 8/ hr 9/hr
Ranking 2nd 1st
Product C would be produced using the entire machine hours. Doing so would generate the highest contribution possible.
Contribution = contribution per hour × machine hours
= 9 × 14,200 = $127,800
Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800

Find the nominal annual rate of interest compounded monthly if $1200 accumulates to $1618.62 in five years.
Answer:
Nominal annual rate of interest(r) = 2.5% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Present value (P) = $1,200
Future value (F) = $1,618.62
Number of year = 5 year = 5(12) months = 60 months
Find:
The nominal annual rate of interest(r)

Nominal annual rate of interest(r) = 2.5% (Approx)
Calisto Launch Services is an independent space corporation and has been contracted to develop and launch one of two different satellites. Initial equipment will cost $750,000 for the first satellite and $850,000 for the second. Development will take 5 years at an expected cost of $150,000 per year for the first satellite; $120,000 per year for the second. The same launch vehicle can be used for either satellite and will cost $275,000 at the time of the launch 5 years from now. At the conclusion of the launch, the contracting company will pay Calisto $2,500,000 for either satellite. Calisto is also considering whether they should consider launching both satellites. Because Calisto would have to upgrade its facilities to handle two concurrent projects, the initial costs would rise by $150,000 in addition to the first costs of each satellite. Calisto would need to hire additional engineers and workers, raising the yearly costs to a total of $400,000. An additional compartment would be added to the launch vehicle at an additional cost of $75,000. As an incentive to do both, the contracting company will pay for both launches plus a bonus of $1,000,000. Using a present worth analysis with a MARR of 10 percent/year, what should Calisto Launch Services do?
Answer:
The three different alternatives have positive NPVs. The alternative with the highest NPV is alternative 3, to develop and launch both satellites (NPV = $241,891). This alternative also has the highest IRR (12.1%). So Calisto should work on both satellites.
Explanation:
satellite 1 satellite 2
initial cost $750,000 $850,000
if 2 satellites developed $150,000
development cost year 1 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 2 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 3 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 4 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 5 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
launch vehicle cost year 5 $275,000
if 2 satellites developed $75,000
revenue from launching $2,500,000 $2,500,000
bonus for launching both $1,000,000
MARR = 10%
since there is not enough room here, I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate NPVs of launching satellite 1, satellite 2 or both.

Review at least three different mental health and wellness job descriptions on a career website (e.g., CareerBuilder; Jobing) and compare and contrast the differences in skill sets needed to perform the job effectively
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
So, the three different mental health and wellness job descriptions on a career website that we be selected here are; Clinical social worker, Psychiatrist, and mental health counselor.
(A). CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER: their job description is to be able to diagnose and treat people with behavioural and mental disorder.
To be a Qualified Clinical social worker Master's degree is need that is to say master's degree in social work.
The Median Annual Salary of a Clinical social worker is about $60,000+.
(B). PSYCHIATRIST: Psychiatrists are professionals in mental health jobs and they treat patient with emotional disorders and mental disorder.
The Median Annual Salary of a Psychiatrist is greater than that of a clinical social worker and is about $200,000+ as of 2018.
(C). MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR: they are professionals that their main job description is to help people in order to make sure that their clients overcome their mental health disorder.
Here, master's degree is also required and their Median Annual Salary is about $40,000+ which is the lowest among the three professions mentioned here.
SKILLS SIMILARITIES: Clinical social worker, Psychiatrist, and mental health counselor all need to possess skills such as good listening skills, problem-solving skills and good communication skills.
SKILLS DIFFERENCES:
The difference in their skills is all in their training and certifications that is to say hard skills.
For instance; Psychiatrist need more of therapeutic skills which can be gotten from their four years degree and residency. They do not really need master's degree to start working effectively like Clinical social workers and mental health counselors.
your investment has a 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return, a 50% chance of earning a 10% rate of return, and a 30% chance of losing 7%. what is your expected return on investment
Answer:
8.9%
Explanation:
From the question above
- The investment has 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return
= 20/100
Number or chances= 0.2
- The investment has a 50% chance of earning 10% rate of return
= 50/100
Number of chances = 0.5
- The investment has 30% chance of losing 7%
= 30/100
Number of chances= 0.3
Therefore, the expected return on investment can be calculated as follows
=0.2(30) + 0.5(10) + 0.3(-7)
=6 + 5 - 2.1
= 11-2.1
= 8.9%
Hence the expected return on investment is 8.9%
Identify a true statement about the per-unit expenditure method of determining advertising budget. It bases its advertising budgets on those of competitors or other members of the industry. It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base. It sets the advertising budget as a predetermined share of profits or financial resources. It involves arguing for and presenting the advertising budget on the basis of research findings.
Answer: It attempts to determine the retail price by using production costs as a base.
Explanation:
The Per-unit expenditure approach to advertising sets the retail price based on the production cost. This means that the amount to be set for advertising is based on a fixed amount that is determined by how many units of a good the company expects to sell so that the advertising is based on how much it spent in production.

Explanation:
Acitelli Corporation, which applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours, has provided the following data for its most recent year of operations.
Estimated manufacturing overhead $ 351,960
Estimated machine-hours 8,400
Actual manufacturing overhead $ 352,960
Actual machine-hours 8,460
The estimates of the manufacturing overhead and of machine-hours were made at the beginning of the year for the purpose of computing the company's predetermined overhead rate for the year.
The applied manufacturing overhead for the year is closest to:_________.
A. $357,012
B. $354,474
C. $355,489
D. $352,951
Answer:
B. $354,474
Explanation:
The Overheads that are initially included in Work In Process before determination of Actual Overheads are called Applied Overheads.
Applied Overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual level of Activity.
Thus said we need to first determine the Predetermined overhead rate :
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $ 351,960 / 8,400 machine hours
= $41.90 per machine hour
Therefore,
Applied Overheads = $41.90 × 8,460 machine hours
= $354,474
Conclusion :
The applied manufacturing overhead for the year is closest to: $354,474
Ethics is a hot topic in business, as well as in Project Management. Using some of the examples presented therein, what kinds of dilemmas have you either seen, encountered, or can envision from your field of study and/or work? How does this affect international projects and venues?
Answer:
Without question, ethics is indeed a very hot subject of industry. Various forms of ethical challenge come up particularly in managing projects. I encountered only a handful of the above :-
(A) It is a predicament to finish the ethical task in a timely manner but to with over-exploit natural resources by simply avoiding even their own work-life balance.
(B) Much of the project has to be successfully completed and within likely cost. The conundrum faced can jeopardise the excess cost savings with the value of the project that would result in customer unhappiness.
Thomas Company uses a standard cost system. Information for raw materials for Product RBI for the month of October follows: Standard unit price $1.75 Actual purchase price per unit $1.65 Actual quantity purchased 4,000 units Actual quantity used 3,900 units Standard quantity allowed for actual production 3,800 units What is the materials purchase price variance
Answer:
Material price variance = $400
Explanation:
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.
It is is computed as follows:
The material price variance
$
4000 units should have cost (4,000× 1.75) = 7,000
but did cost - actual cost (4,000× $1.65) = 6,600
Material price variance 400 favorable
Material price variance = $400
