Answer: 12%

Explanation:

In calculating the Required Rate return, we add the Nominal Risk Free rate to the market premium like so,

Required Rate of Return = Nominal Risk Free rate + Market Premium.

We have the Market Premium, now we need the Nominal Risk Free rate.

As you may or may not know, the Real Risk Free rate is just the Nominal rate adjusted for inflation by subtracting it.

To get the Nominal rate therefore we add back inflation,

Nominal Risk Free rate = Real Risk Free rate + Inflation

= 3% + 4%

= 7%

Now going back to the original formula we have,

Required Rate of Return = Nominal Risk Free rate + Market Premium.

Require Rate of Return = 7% + 5%

=12%

The required rate of return for Everest Expeditions Inc. is 12%

U.s. internet advertising revenue grew at the rate of r(t) = 0.82t + 1.14 (0 ≤ t ≤ 4) billion dollars/year between 2002 (t = 0)
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

f(t) = \int 0.82 t +1.14 dt

f(t) = \frac{0.82}{2}t^2 +1.14 t +C

Where C is a constant, now using the initial condition we got:

f(2)= 5.9 = 0.41 (2)^2 + 1.14*2 +C

And solving for C we got:

C= 5.9 -0.41(4) -1.14*2 = 1.98

And the function desired for the advertising revenue would be given by:

f(t) = 0.41t^2 1.14t +1.98

With f the amount in billions and the the years since 2002 to 2006.

Explanation:

For this case we have the following function who represent the revenue grew rate:

r(t) = 0.82t +1.14 , 0 \leq t \leq 4

And we want to calculate the Advertising revenue so we need to integrate the function r(t) and we can use the inidital condition t=0 , f(2)= 5.9 billion.

If we integrate the function we got:

f(t) = \int 0.82 t +1.14 dt

f(t) = \frac{0.82}{2}t^2 +1.14 t +C

Where C is a constant, now using the initial condition we got:

f(2)= 5.9 = 0.41 (2)^2 + 1.14*2 +C

And solving for C we got:

C= 5.9 -0.41(4) -1.14*2 = 1.98

And the function desired for the advertising revenue would be given by:

f(t) = 0.41t^2 1.14t +1.98

With f the amount in billions and the the years since 2002 to 2006.

A company experiences a stock split due to poor performance. Ariana's initial investment
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:  25

Explanation:

Given, A company experiences a stock split due to poor performance. Ariana's initial investment  was a purchase of 50 stocks at $12.99 per share.

Value of her shares = 50 x $12.99

= $649.50

The reverse split is 1:2 means the number of shares split into half but the total value of her shares remains the same.

i.e. Ariana owns  50/2=25 stocks after the stock split.

Hence, Ariana owns 25 stocks after the stock split.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

maximum profit ($30 in total) is obtained by selling 5 units

Explanation:

  1. if the market maker buys and sells one unit, his/her profit = $15 - $5 = $10
  2. if the market maker buys and sells two units, his/her profit = $10 + ($14 - $6) = $18
  3. if the market maker buys and sells three units, his/her profit = $18 + ($13 - $7) = $24
  4. if the market maker buys and sells four units, his/her profit = $24 + ($12 - $8) = $28
  5. if the market maker buys and sells five unit, his/her profit = $28 + ($11 - $9) = $30

the maximum profit per unit is obtained by selling only 1 unit, but the total maximum profit is obtained by selling 5 units.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$183,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold using the FIFO method is shown below:

= Number of units purchased × per unit + additional units purchased × per unit

= 15,000 units × $10 + 3,000 units × $11

= $150,000 + $33,000

= $183,000

Since there are 18,000 units are sold

out of which 15,000 are at $10 and the remaining 3,000 units are at $11 and the same is to be considered
