Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": delay until further clarity emerges.

Explanation:

American Professor Alfred A. Marcus (born in 1950) in his book "<em>The Future of Technology Management and the Business</em>" (2015) explains hedging could be a strategy to protect companies in front of the rapidly changing environment they face because of the constant introduction to technology in the market. According to Marcus, there are five (5) hedging strategies firms could implement:

  1. Gamble on the most probable: <em>work on the product with the highest success rate. </em>
  2. Take the robust route: <em>invest in as many products as possible. </em>
  3. Delay until further clarity emerges: <em>waiting for a proper moment to react in front of market changes. </em>
  4. Commit with a fallback: <em>adapt according to the market. </em>
  5. Try to shape the future: <em>innovate.</em>

Nachman Industries just paid a dividend of D0 = $1.32. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, by 10% i
ladessa [460]

Answer:

$44.87

Explanation:

Use Dividend Discount Model to solve this question;

First, find the dividend per year;

First year's dividend ; D1 = D0(1+g)

D1 = 1.32 (1.30) = 1.716

Second year's dividend ; D2 = 1.716 (1.10) = 1.8876

Third year's dividend ; D3 = 1.8876 (1.05) = 1.9820

Next, find the present value of each dividend at 9% required return;

PV (D1) = 1.716 / (1.09) = <em>1.5743</em>

PV (D2) = 1.8876 /(1.09²) = <em>1.5888</em>

PV (D3 onwards) = \frac{\frac{1.9820}{0.09-0.05} }{1.09^{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{47.19}{1.1881}

= PV (D3 onwards) = <em>41.7052</em>

Sum up the PVs to find the current market value of the stock;

= 1.5743 + 1.5888 + 41.7052

= 44.8683

Therefore the value is $44.87

A manufacturing company producing medical devices reported $60,000,000 in sales over the last year. At the end of the same year,
kumpel [21]

Answer:

a) The company turn its inventory at 1.5.

b) Per unit inventory cost for a product that costs $1000 is $166.67.

Explanation:

a) number of units sold = ($60000000/year)*(1 unit/$2000)

                                       = 30000 units/year

COGS = 30000 units/year*$1000/unit

           = $30000000/year

inventory = $20000000

flow time = inventory/flow rate

                = $20000000/30000000 per year

                = 0.67 years

inventory turns = 1/flow rate

                          = 1/(0.67)

                           = 1.5

Therefore, The company turn its inventory at 1.5.

b) %inventory cost per computer = 25%*0.6667 years

                                                       = 16.667%

16.667%*$1000 = $166.67 per unit

Therefore, Per unit inventory cost for a product that costs $1000 is $166.67.

Rick took his family to a major league baseball game. he gave his son $100 to buy food and drinks for the group. hot dogs cost $
Alchen [17]
Rick gave his son $100 to buy food and drinks. His son returned with $25.50 in change. Therefore the amount spent was
$100 - $25.50 = $74.50.

Let
x = number of hot dogs bought (at $3.50 per hot dog).
y = number of milk shakes bought (at $8 per milk shake).
There were 8 orders of soda at $5 per soda.

The total order is $74.50, therefore
3.50x + 8y + 8*5 = 74.50
Simplify to obtain
8y = 74.5 - 3.5x
  y = 4.3125 - 0.4375x

We must have whole numbers (integers) for x and y.
Create a table that varies x from 0 to 8, and look for y to be an integer, as shown below.

  x       y
---  -------
 0   4.3125
 1    3.8750
 2   3.4375
 3   3
 4   2.5625
 5   2.1250
 6   1.6875
 7    1.2500
 8    0.8125

Because we cannot have fractional values for either x or y, the solution is x=3, y=3

Answer:
3 hot dogs, 3 milk shakes, and 8 sodas.
