The early majority group A. tends to have the greatest contact with salespeople. B. tends to cling to the status quo and think it's the safe way. C. prefers to do things the way they have been done in the past and are very suspicious of new ideas. D. tends to avoid risk and waits to consider a new idea after many early adopters have tried it-and liked it. E. can help the promotion effort by spreading word-of-mouth information and advice among other consumers.
Answer
D. tends to avoid risk and waits to consider a new idea after many early adopters have tried it-and liked it.
Explanation:
The concept of the diffusion of innovation suggests the categories of the adopters as the innovators, early adopters, early majority, later majority, and laggards. The diffusion of technology manifests indifferent depending on the type of adoption. The innovator is the broad category of people that have current knowledge of the unit and are the first ones to try out the new products and give their reviews, they take risks and have high social status, have close contact with the scientific sources. The early adopters are the highest degree of the opinion leaders, whereas the early majority are those that adopt the product after varying degrees of time longer than innovators and adopters.Suppose you observe the following situation:
Security Beta Expected Return
Pete Corp. 1.25 . 1323
Repete Co. .87 .0967
a. Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. The expected return on the market is 10.89%
b. The risk-free rate is 1.52%
Explanation:
In order to calcuate the expected return on the market and the he risk-free rate we would have to use the following formulas:
Expected return=risk-free rate +Beta*(market rate- risk-free rate )
13.23=Rf+1.25*(Rm-Rf)
13.23=1.25Rm-0.25Rf
Rm=(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25
To calculate the risk free rate, we use the following:
9.67=Rf+0.87*(Rm-Rf)
9.67=0.13Rf+0.87Rm
9.67=0.13Rf+0.87*(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25
9.67=0.13Rf+9.20808+0.174Rf
Rf=(9.67-9.20808)/(0.13+0.174)
=1.52%(Approx)=risk free rate
Rm=(13.23+0.25Rf)/1.25
=10.89%(Approx)=market rate
Final answer:
The expected return on the market and the risk-free rate can be calculated using the CAPM formula and the provided beta and expected return of two securities. Comparing betas helps determine the relative risk of investments. Bond pricing involves discounting the expected payments by the current market interest rate.
Explanation:
Calculating Expected Market Return and Risk-Free Rate Using CAPM
To derive the expected return on the market (E(Rm)) using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), we make use of the provided beta (ß) and expected return (E(Ri)) of each security. For Pete Corp., the formula based on CAPM is E(Ri) = Rf + ß(E(Rm) - Rf), and plugging in the values gives us 0.1323 = Rf + 1.25(E(Rm) - Rf). For Repete Co., plugging in the values gives us 0.0967 = Rf + 0.87(E(Rm) - Rf). By solving the set of these two linear equations, we can find both the expected return on the market and the risk-free rate (Rf).
To identify which investment is the safest or riskiest, we compare their betas. A lower beta indicates an investment is less volatile compared to the market and, thus safer. The highest expected return is reflected in the investment with the higher beta, however, this also comes with higher risk.
Estimating the Bond's Price
When a bond's interest rate is less than the current market interest rate, the bond's price will be discounted. For example, if a bond will pay $1,080 in one year, and the current market interest rate is 12%, the present value of the bond's payment is calculated using the formula PV = Expected Payment / (1 + Market Interest Rate). Therefore, the bond price would be calculated as $964.

The process of recruiting and retaining capable employees is an essential process for a company that wants to achieve its objectives and goals.
Recruiting and retaining employees is a task that must be well planned and performed in an organization, it is necessary to find qualified personnel that meet the company's profile and values and also retain competent employees. The human capital in an organization must be selected and committed to the creation of an organizational culture focused on ethics, values and innovation, essential factors to increase productivity and motivation in the work environment, becoming this then a strategy for organizational excellence in the internal and external environment.
Talent management is crucial for organizational success, involving recruitment, development, and retention of employees. Succession planning and employee development are fundamental aspects is always an essential ingredient of successful strategy execution.
The Significance of Talent Management in Organizations
As human resource professionals, it is essential to recognize talent management as a critical component of organizational success. The recruitment, development, and retention of capable employees are significant factors contributing to a company's competitive advantage.

The Fox TV network is considering replacing one of its prime-time crime investigation shows with a new family-oriented comedy show. Before a final decision is made, network executives commission a sample of 400 viewers. After viewing the comedy, 250 indicated they would watch the new show and suggested it replace the crime investigation show a. Estimate the value of the population proportion.b. Develop a 99 percent confidence interval for the population proportion.c. Interpret your findings.
Answer:
a. 0.625
b. [tex]0.5625\leq p\leq 0.6875[/tex]
Explanation:
The estimate value of the population proportion p' is calculated using the data from the sample, so it is equal to:
[tex]p'=\frac{250}{400} =0.625[/tex]
Because the sample have 400 viewers and 250 indicated that they would watch the new show and suggested.
It mean that 0.625 is an estimation of the population proportion.
On the other hand, the confidence interval for the population proportion p is calculated as:
[tex]p'-z_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } \leq p\leq p'+z_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }[/tex]
Where [tex]p'[/tex] is the sample proportion, [tex]1-\alpha[/tex] is the confidence level, and n is the size of the sample.
Now, we need to replace p' by 0.625, n by 400 and [tex]1-\alpha[/tex] by 0.99.
If [tex]1-\alpha[/tex] is equal to 0.99, [tex]\alpha[/tex] is equal to 0.01 and, using the standard normal distribution table, [tex]z_{\alpha /2}[/tex] is equal to: [tex]z_{\alpha /2}=z_{0.005}=2.58[/tex]
Then, the 99 percent confidence interval for the population proportion is calculated as:
[tex]0.625-(2.58)\sqrt{\frac{0.625(1-0.625)}{400} } \leq p\leq 0.625+(2.58)\sqrt{\frac{0.625(1-0.625)}{400} }\\0.625-0.0625\leq p\leq 0.625+0.0625\\0.5625\leq p\leq 0.6875[/tex]
It means that with a 99% of confidence level, the value of population proportion of people that would watch the new show and suggested is between 0.5625 and 0.6875

Economy Fund charges a front-end load of 2.5%, but has no 12b-1 fee and an expense ratio of 0.25%. Assume the rate of return on both funds’ portfolios (before any fees) is 7% per year. How much will an investment of $1,000 in each fund grow to after:
a. 1 year
b. 3 years
c. 10 years
Answer:
Loaded-up fund:
1-year: 1,055
3-year: 1.174,24
10-year: 1,708.14
Economy Fund:
1-year: 1,040.81
3-year: 1,186.06
10-year: 1,873.63
Explanation:
Loaded-up fund:
0.75% + 0.75% = 1.5%
7% return - 1.5% = 5.5%
after a year:
1,000 x 1.055 = 1,055
after three years:
1,000 x 1.055^3 = 1.174,24
after ten years:
1,000 x 1.055^10 =1,708.14
Economic Fund:
discounting the front-end load
1,000 x (1 - 0.025) = 975
then:
7% - 0.25% = 6.75%
after a year:
975 x 1.0675 = 1.040,81
after three years:
975 x 1.0675^3 = 1.186,06
after ten years:
975 x 1.0675^10 =1,873.63

Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $130,000 per year forever with the first payment 11 years from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 2.5 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today?
Answer:
$5,200,000
Explanation:
Amount that grandparents must deposit today = Regular amount / Rate of interest
= $130,000 / 2.5%
=$130,000/0.025
= $ 5,200,000
Therefore the amount that grandparents must deposit today is $5,200,000
Answer:
If the trust fund earns an annual return of 2.5 percent, Your grandparents must deposit today $4,062,231
Explanation:
In order to calculate how much must your grandparents deposit today, first we would have to calculate according to the information given the Value of fund required at end of year 10.
Hence, Value of fund required at end of year 10 = $130,000 / 2.5% = =$5,200,000
Therefore, the Value of fund required today at 2.5% and N = 10 = $5,200,000 / (1 + 2.5%)^10
= $4,062,231
If the trust fund earns an annual return of 2.5 percent, Your grandparents must deposit today $4,062,231

For the month of July, the unpaid balance on Sue’s credit card statement was $1,131.63 at the beginning of the billing cycle. She made purchases of $512.58. She also made a payment of $750.00 during the month. If the interest rate was 1.75% per month on the unpaid balance, determine the finance charge and the new balance on the first day of the August billing cycle.
Answer:
The finance charge is $19.80 and The new balance on the first day of the August billing cycle is $914.01
Explanation:
According to the given data, we have the following:
Sue’s credit card statement was $1,131.63 at the beginning of the billing cycle
purchases= $512.58
interest rate=1.75%
Hence, to determine the finance charge we use the equation I=Ptr,
so=($1,131.63)(1)(0.0175)
=$19.80.
The finance charge is $19.80
Then, She also made a payment of $750.00 during the month, so In order to calculate the new balance on the first day of the August billing cycle we would have to make the following calculation
new balance=old unpaid balance+finance charge+purchases-payment
=$1,131.63+$19.80+$512.58-$750.00
=$914.01
The new balance on the first day of the August billing cycle is $914.01

Entitlement culture is the idea that __________________________. a. basic salaries are extra pay for sales performance rather than deferred bonuses b. basic salaries are deferred bonuses rather than extra pay for extra sales performance c. bonuses are extra pay for sales performance rather than deferred salary d. bonuses are deferred salary rather than extra pay for extra sales performance
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": bonuses are deferred salary rather than extra pay for extra sales performance.
Explanation:
In the corporate world, entitlement culture refers to the workers' beliefs that they deserve a series of privileges. This tends to happen during growth periods. Employees assume that the optimal situation of the firm has to do with their performances then, the organization owes them.
An idea that is commonly spread under such a scenario is that bonuses and commissions are deferred salaries and not extra payment for outstanding performance.
Cinnamon Buns Co. (CBC) started 2021 with $61,500 of merchandise on hand. During 2021, $299,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $18,500. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $7,800 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $335,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system.
Assuming CBC uses the gross method to record purchases, ending inventory would be:
Answer:
$30,220
Explanation:
Inventory purchased $299,000
Discount (299,000*2%) ($5,980)
Freight Charges $18,500
Inventory returned ($7,800)
Net purchases $303,720
Cost of goods sold=opening inventory+purchases-ending inventory
$335,000=$61,500+$303,720-ending inventory
Ending inventory=61,500+303,720-335,000
Ending inventory=$30,220
Exercise 11-1 Compute the Return on Investment (ROI) [LO11-1] Alyeska Services Company, a division of a major oil company, provides various services to the operators of the North Slope oil field in Alaska. Data concerning the most recent year appear below: Sales $ 19,000,000 Net operating income $ 6,100,000 Average operating assets $ 36,500,000 Required: 1. Compute the margin for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. Compute the turnover for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 3. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. Margin = 0.32 or 32%
2. Turnover = $19,000,000 or Operating Asset Turnover = 0.52 or 52%
3. Return on Investment = 0.17 or 17%
Explanation:
Firstly, list out the parameters we were given:
Sales = $19,000,000, Net Operating Income = $6,100,000,
Average Operating Assets = $36,500,000
1. Operating Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales
Operating Margin = 6,100,000 ÷ 19,000,000 = 0.32
Operating Margin = 0.32 (to 2 decimal places)
Operating Margin = 32%
2. Turnover refers to sales or revenue made during a particular period. In which case turnover is $19,000,000
However, if the turnover referred to is the Operating Asset Turnover, that is calculated below:
Operating Asset Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets
Operating Asset Turnover = 19,000,000 ÷ 36,500,000
Operating Asset Turnover = 0.52 (to 2 decimal places)
Operating Asset Turnover = 52%
3. Return on Investment (ROI) = Net Operating Income / Average Operating Assets
Return on Investment (ROI) = 6,100,000 ÷ 36,500,000
Return on Investment (ROI) = 0.17 (to 2 decimal places)
Return on Investment (ROI) = 17%
Final answer:
To compute the ROI for Alyeska Services Company, the margin is found to be 32.11% and the turnover is 0.52. Using these calculations, the ROI is determined to be 16.70%.
Explanation:
To calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company, we first need to compute the margin, turnover, and then use these figures to calculate the ROI.
Margin Calculation
The margin is calculated by dividing the Net operating income by the Sales and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage:
Margin = (Net operating income \/ Sales) * 100
Margin = ($6,100,000 \/ $19,000,000) * 100
Margin = 32.11%
Turnover Calculation
The turnover is calculated by dividing the Sales by the Average operating assets:
Turnover = Sales \/ Average operating assets
Turnover = $19,000,000 \/ $36,500,000
Turnover = 0.52
ROI Calculation
ROI is calculated by multiplying the margin by the turnover:
ROI = Margin * Turnover
ROI = 32.11% * 0.52
ROI = 16.70%
Nielson Motors has a share price of $25 today. If Nielson Motors is expected to pay a dividend of $0.75 this year, and its stock price is expected to grow to $26.75 at the end of the year, then Nielsen's dividend yield and equity cost of capital are:
Answer:
Dividend Yield = 3%
Equity cost of capital = 10%
Explanation:
Dividend yield is a financial ratio which is used by investors to assess a company's annual dividend payout in comparison of its stock price. The formula for dividend yield ratio is :
Annual dividend / Stock price
$0.75 / $25 = 3%
Equity cost of capital is the rate of return required by the investors of equity. This is the rate which a company must pay to raise funds. The formula for finding equity cost of capital is :
Dividend Yield + (Expected Stock price - Stock price today) / Stock price today
3% + ($26.75 - $25 ) / $25 = 10%
The dividend yield for Nielson Motors is 3%, calculated by dividing the dividend by the current share price. The equity cost of capital is 10%, calculated by adding the dividend yield to the rate of capital gains.
Explanation:The dividend yield and equity cost of capital for Nielson Motors can be calculated simply with the given information. The dividend yield is the dividend divided by the current share price, so that would be $0.75/$25 = 0.03 or 3%. The equity cost of capital, on the other hand, represents the total return expected by investors. It is calculated by adding the dividend yield to the rate of capital gains. The rate of capital gains is the expected price increase divided by the current price, which is ($26.75-$25)/$25 = 0.07 or 7%. Therefore, the equity cost of capital is 3% (dividend yield) + 7% (rate of capital gains) = 10%.

An antique cabinet is being sold by means of an English auction. There are four bidders, Gloria, Elise, Judy, and Arabella. These bidders are unacquainted with each other and do not collude. Gloria values the cabinet at $800, Elise values it at $500, Judy values it at $1,800, and Arabella values it at $600. If the bidders bid in their rational self-interest, the cabinet will be sold to ______ at price ______.
Answer and Explanation:
The English auction is a unique process of selling items, under which the auction starts at a low price and goes up to the maximum price and the item is sold to the highest bidder.
In this situation, Judi makes the highest bid which is worth $1,800, therefore, the cabinet will be sold to Judi at price $1,800 .
The antique cabinet will be sold to Judy, who values it the most at $1,800, for just above the second-highest valuation of $800 (Gloria's valuation), likely at $801 assuming a $1 minimum bid increment.
In an English auction, each bidder bids the maximum amount they value the item, which is based on their private value, and they bid in increments until they reach their maximum value. In this scenario, Judy values the antique cabinet the most at $1,800, followed by Gloria at $800, Arabella at $600, and Elise at $500. Therefore, following the logic of an English auction where each bidder knows their own valuation and bids up to that amount without colluding, Judy should win the auction.
Now, because there is no collusion and each bidder is acting in their rational self-interest, when Gloria, who has the second-highest valuation, drops out of the bidding at $800, Judy will only need to bid one increment higher to win the cabinet. Thus, the cabinet will be sold to Judy at a price just above Gloria's maximum bid, which would be $801 if we assume a minimum increment of $1 in this auction. However, many auctions operate with larger increments, so the exact selling price can vary slightly depending on the rules of the auction.
It's important to note that in a real-world setting, the dynamics of an auction can lead to different bid increments and potentially different outcomes based on bidder behaviour, auction rules, and the strategies employed by the bidders.
You have $ 10 comma 000 to invest. You decide to invest $ 20 comma 000 in Google and short sell $ 10 comma 000 worth of Yahoo! Google's expected return is 15 % with a volatility of 30 % and Yahoo!'s expected return is 12 % with a volatility of 25 %. The stocks have a correlation of 0.90. What is the expected return and volatility of the portfolio? The expected return is
Answer:
expected return is 18%
volatility of the portfolio 13.23 %
Explanation:
Your Investment: $ 10,000
Invest $ 20,000 in Google, Google's expected return is 15 %
Sell $ 10,000 worth of Yahoo! Yahoo! Yahoo!'s expected return is 12 %
=> The weight of your portfolio is 2 for the Google stock, and -1 for the Yahoo stock. The negative sign for the Yahoo stock indicates a short position in the stock. The expected return is the weighted average of the returns on the two stocks:
2 * 15% + (-1) * 12% = 18%The volatility of the portfolio is:
[tex]\sqrt{2^{2}*0.15^{2} + -1^{2}*0.25^{2} +2*2*(-1)*0.9*0.15*0.25 }[/tex] = 13.23 %
The expected return of the portfolio is 18%, and the portfolio's volatility is approximately 13.22%.
To find the expected return and volatility of the portfolio, we can use the concept of portfolio theory. The expected return of the portfolio is a weighted average of the expected returns of the individual assets, and the portfolio volatility is determined by the weights, volatilities, and the correlation between the assets.
First, let's calculate the expected return of the portfolio:
1. Calculate the total investment amount:
Total Investment = Investment + Short Sale
Total Investment = $20,000 - $10,000 = $10,000
2. Calculate the weighted returns of two companies:
Weighted Return of G = (Investment / Total Investment) * Expected Return
Weighted Return of Y = (Short Sale Amount in Y / Total Investment) * Expected Return of Y
Weighted Return of G = ($20,000 / $10,000) * 15% = 30%
Weighted Return of Y = ($10,000 / $10,000) * (-12%) = -12%
3. Calculate the expected return of the portfolio:
Expected Return of Portfolio = Weighted Return + Weighted Return of Y
Expected Return of Portfolio = 30% - 12% = 18%
So, the expected return of the portfolio is 18%.
Now, let's calculate the portfolio's volatility:
The formula for portfolio volatility in a two-asset portfolio is:
Portfolio Volatility = √[ (Weight)^2 * (Volatility)^2 + (Weight )^2 * (Volatility)^2 + 2 * Weight of G * Weight of Y * Volatility of G * Volatility of Y * Correlation ]
Plugging in the values:
Portfolio Volatility = √[ (1)^2 * (0.30)^2 + (-1)^2 * (0.25)^2 + 2 * 1 * (-1) * 0.30 * 0.25 * 0.90 ]
Portfolio Volatility ≈ √[0.090 + 0.0625 - 0.135]
Portfolio Volatility ≈ √[0.0175] ≈ 0.1322 or 13.22%
So, the expected return of the portfolio is 18%, and the portfolio's volatility is approximately 13.22%.

MG corporation has a target capital structure of 45 percent common stock, 10 percent preferred stock, and 45 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 17 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 6.5 percent, and the cost of debt is 9 percent (before taxes). The relevant tax rate is 35 percent. What is MGís WACC?
Answer:
The WACC is 10.93%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost to firm of its capital structure. The capital structure of the firm consists of debt, preferred stock and common stock. The WACC is calculated by taking the sum of the weighted average cost of each component of the capital structure.
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component as a proportion of total assetsr represents the cost of each componentWe take the after tax cost of debt. So, rD is multiplied by (1-tax rate)WACC = 0.45 * 0.09 * (1-0.35) + 0.1 * 0.065 + 0.45 * 0.17
WACC = 0.109325 or 10.9325% rounded off to 10.93%
Outstanding stock of the Marin Corporation included 54000 shares of $5 par common stock and 20000 shares of 5%, $10 par non-cumulative preferred stock. In 2016, Marin declared and paid dividends of $2700. In 2017, Marin declared and paid dividends of $27000. How much of the 2017 dividend was distributed to preferred shareholders?
Answer:
The amount of dividends distributed to preferred stockholders in 2017 is $10000.
Explanation:
The preferred stock is non cumulative which means that if the company is unable to pay dividends on preferred stock in a certain year, the dividend for that year will not be accumulated and will not be paid in the next year.
Thus, the company only paid a dividend of $2700 in 2016 and the remaining dividends will not be payable by the company in year 2017.
The dividend on each share of preferred stock per year is = 10 * 0.05 = $0.5 per share
The number of shares of preferred stock are 20000.
The total dividends that will be paid to preferred stock holders in 2017 is = 0.5 * 20000 = $10000
Thus, out of the $27000 dividends of 2017, $10000 was distributed to preferred stockholders.
