Organizers of an outdoor summer concert in Toronto are concerned about the weather conditions on the day of the concert. They will make a profit of $42,000 on a clear day and $12,000 on a cloudy day. They will make a loss of $6,000 if it rains. The weather channel has predicted a 52% chance of rain on the day of the concert. Calculate the expected profit from the concert if the likelihood is 11% that it will be sunny and 37% that it will be cloudy.
Answer:
$5,940
Explanation:
Calculation for the expected profit
Expected profit= (42,000*0.11)+(12,000*0.37)+(-6,000*0.52)
Expected profit=4,620+4,440+(-3,120)

Cindy's apartment complex is offering renters insurance through their insurance company. The insurance company charges an annual premium of $565.00 which can be paid in equal payments throughout the year with her monthly rent. Cindy's monthly rent is currently $789.00. What will Cindy's new rent be if she includes the renters insurance?
Answer:
$836.08 per month
Explanation:
In order to calculate Cindy's new monthly rent, we would simply need to divide the renter's insurance by 12 since there are 12 months in a year. and then add that product to her monthly rent like so...
565.00 / 12 = 47.08
789 + 47.08 = 836.08
Finally, we can see that Cindy's new rent after including the renters insurance would be $836.08 per month

15. Consider a no-load mutual fund with $400 million in assets, 50 million in debt, and 15 million shares at the start of the year; and $500 million in assets, 40 million in debt, and 18 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $0.50 per share, and capital gains distributions of $0.30 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, and that the total expense ratio is 0.75%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer:
12.09%.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the rate of return on the fund
First step is to calculate the beginning year NAV
Beginning year NAV = ($400 million assets - 50 million debt) / 15 million shares
Beginning year NAV = 23.33
Second step is to calculate the ending year NAV
Ending year NAV = ($500 million assets - (500*0.75% expense) - 40 million debt] / 18 million shares
Ending year NAV =[456.25/18 million shares]
Ending year NAV =25.35
Now let calculate the return using this formula
Return = (Ending NAV -beginning NAV + Capital gain + income) / Beginning NAV)
Let plug in the formula
Return = (25.35-23.33+0.30+0.50)/23.33
Return = 12.09%
Therefore the rate of return on the fund is 12.09%

Fillmore Industries is a vertically integrated firm with several divisions that operate as decentralized profit centers. Fillmore's Systems Division manufactures scientific instruments and uses the products of two of Fillmore's other divisions. The Board Division manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs). One PCB model is made exclusively for the Systems Division using proprietary designs, while less complex models are sold in outside markets. The products of the Transistor Division are sold in a well-developed competitive market; however, one transistor model is also used by the Systems Division. The costs per unit of the products used by the Systems Division are as follows:
PCB Transistor
Direct materials 1,85 0,40
Direct labor 4,20 0,90
Variable overhead 2,40 0,70
Fixed overhead 0,85 0,75
Total Cost 9,30 2,75
The Board Division sells its commercial product at full cost plus a 30 percent markup and believes the proprietary board made for the Systems Division would sell for $12 per unit on the open market. The market price of the transistor used by the Systems Division is $3.45 per unit.
Required:
1. What is the minimum transfer price for the Transistor Division? What is the maximum transfer price of the transistor for the Systems Division?
2. Assume the Systems Division is able to purchase a large quantity of
transistors from an outside source at $2.75 per unit. Further assume that the Transistor Division has excess capacity. Can the Transistor Division meet this price?
3. The Board and Systems divisions have negotiated a transfer price of $11 per printed circuit board. Discuss the impact this transfer price will have on each division.
Answer:
Fillmore Industries
Fillmore's Systems Division
1. Minimum and Maximum Transfer Prices:
PCB Transistor
Minimum transfer
price $12.00 $3.45
Maximum transfer
price $12.09 $3.58
2. Yes. The Transistor Division can meet this price. It can sell at $2.60 (Variable cost plus markup) by eliminating the fixed cost, which is not a relevant cost.
3. A transfer price of $11 reduces the profitability of the Transistor Division while it increases the profitability of the other division. The transfer price should be a market-competitively determined price to encourage efficiency in the divisions.

Let X be the damage incurred (in $) in a certain type of accident during a given year. Possible X values are 0, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000, with probabilities 0.84, 0.09, 0.05, and 0.02, respectively. A particular company offers a $500 deductible policy. If the company wishes its expected profit to be $100, what premium amount should it charge (in dollars)
Answer:
$560
Explanation:
Calculation for what premium amount should it charge
Using this formula to calculate the premium amount
E(Y)=yxP(y)
Let X variable represent the damage that occured because of accident in the year provided
Based on the information given since the amount deductible is $500 while the expected premium charge is $100 then let defined the premium function as,
For X=0
Hence,
Y=X+$100
For X=1,000, 5,000, and 10,000
Y=X-$500+$100
Y=$400
Let the table below represents probability distribution of y
X= 0, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000
Y= 100 600 4,600 9,600
P(y)=0.84, 0.09, 0.05, 0.02,
(1000-400=600)
(5000-400=4,600)
(10,000-400=9,600)
Now let calculate the PREMIUM AMOUNT to be charge Using this formula
E(Y)=yxP(y)
Let plug in the formula
E(Y)=(100 × 0.84)+( 600 × 0.09) + (4,600 × 0.05) +( 9,600 × 0.02)
E(Y)=84+54+230+192
E(Y)=$560
Therefore the premium amount that it should it charge (in dollars) is $560

Industry averages for the following profitability ratios are as follows:
Gross profit ratio 45 %
Return on assets 25 %
Profit margin 15 %
Asset turnover 8.5 times
Return on equity 35 %
Gross profit ratio: = Gross profit/Sales * 100
= $8,110,000/$20,710,000 * 100
= 39.2%
Return on assets = Net income/Assets * 100
= $1,980,000/$9,900,000 * 100
= 20%
Profit margin = Net Income/Sales * 100
= $1,980,000/$20,710,000 * 100
= 9.6%
Asset turnover = Sales/Total Assets
= $20,710,000/$9,900,000 = 2.1 times
Return on equity = Net Income/Total Equity * 100
= $1,980,000/$5,300,000 * 100
= 37.4%

Examine five (5) characteristics of a good problem stater
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
An indepth analysis or research which involves non-numerical findings and as such may involve the use of categorical variables such as texts and other non-numerical data in its analysis may be termed as a qualitative research. It is aimed at establishing a comprehensive distinction or categorization of variables in a non-numerical format.
The main differences between qualitative and quantitative research include :
Qualitative research are in textual or non-numeric format while quantitative are numeric
Qualitative research have fixed responses as they use discrete or continous numeric variables while quantitative research aren't fixed and are usually unstructured.
Qualitative research cannot be subjected to statistical analysis as they are non-numeric while quantitative research can be subjected to statistical evaluation.
When conducting a research, the intended problem which one aims to solve with the outcome of the research is referred to as the problem statement.
A good research problem should be clear and lucid enough.
It should address a very specific area of research
It should be rendered in an interpretable manner and open to data collection.
It should be be robust to lead to further investigation.

An investment had a nominal return of 10.7 percent last year. If the real return on the investment was only 6.5 percent, what was the inflation rate for the year?
Answer:
(1+0.103) =(1+0.057)(1+ Inflation rate)
1.103 =1.057 * (1+ Inflation rate)
1.103/1.057 = 1+ Inflation rate
1.0435 = 1+ inflation rate
Inflation rate = 0.0435 i.e. 4.35%
Amrik started a business on 1 January 2017 and purchased a machine costing $18 000. He decided to depreciate the machine at 20% per annum using the reducing (diminishing) balance method. No depreciation was to be charged in the year of disposal. The machine was up sold for \$13 30 300 on 1 July 2018. What was the profit or loss on the sale of the machine? A Loss $1100 B Loss $4700 C Profit $1780 D Profit $2500 ОА Ов Ос OD
Answer: A. Loss $1,100
Explanation:
Value at the end of the first year after depreciation:
= 18,000 * (1 - 20%)
= $14,400
No depreciation was charged in the year of sale which is 2018 so only a year of depreciation applies.
Profit (loss) = Sales price - Net book value
= 13,300 - 14,400
= -$1,100
