Answer:

13.968%

Explanation:

Discount is defined as a deduction from the selling price of a product, and it is used as a way to attract more customers by using price advantage compared to competitors.

The following formula can be used to calculate discount

Discount rate = Rate of return + Competitor's beta (market risk premium)

Discount rate = 0.031 + 1.43(0.076)

Discount rate= 0.13968= 13.968%

Answer:

Discount rate = 15.4%

Explanation:

<em>The cost of equity of Decker can  be determined using the capital asset pricing model. </em>

<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta. </em>

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.

Ke? Rf- 3.1, β- 1.62, Rm-Rf = 7.6

Ke =3.1 + (1.62× 7.6)= 15.4%

Discount rate would be the same as the cost of equity.

Discount rate = 15.4%

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

PV= $23,370.85

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow (1-3)= $5,000

Cash flow (4-5)= $6,500

Discount rate= 6%

To calculate the present value, first, we need to calculate the final value:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash flow

Year 1-3:

FV= {5,000*[(1.06^3) - 1] / 0.06

FV= 15,918

Year 4-5:

FV= {6,500*[(1.06^2) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= 13,390

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 15,918/(1.06^3)= 13,365.06

PV= 13,390/(1.06^5)= 10,005.79

PV= $23,370.85

. A company produces two products, A and B, which have profits of $9 and $7, respectively. Each unit of product must be processe
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) Linear model

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y \le 60

4x + 8y \le 40

x,y \ge 0

(b) Standard form:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y + s_1 = 60

4x + 8y +s_2= 40

x,y \ge 0

s_1,s_2 \ge 0

Explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {Hours/} & {Unit} & {Product} & {Line\ 1} & {Line\ 2} & {A} & {12} & {4} & {B} & {4} & {8} & {Total\ Hours} & {60} &{40}\ \end{array}

Solving (a): Formulate a linear programming model

From the question, we understand that:

A has a profit of $9 while B has $7

So, the linear model is:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y \le 60

4x + 8y \le 40

x,y \ge 0

Where:

x \to line\ 1

y \to line\ 2

Solving (b): The model in standard form:

To do this, we introduce surplus and slack variable "s"

For \le inequalities, we add surplus (add s)

Otherwise, we remove slack (minus s)

So, the standard form is:

So, the linear model is:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y + s_1 = 60

4x + 8y +s_2= 40

x,y \ge 0

s_1,s_2 \ge 0

Due to a recent hurricane there is a major loss of sugarcane crops. At the same time in the U.S. consumers are eating healthier
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer and explanation:

We should consider that at the same time as the hurricane, U.S. consumers were cutting back on sugar foods. It implies that the quantity demanded for sugar foods was likely to decrease bringing the prices up. However, the hurricane affecting the sugarcane crops affects the supply which will be lower. Thus, definitely, if the quantity supplied is lower so will the price.
