The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders involves evaluating whether the diversification move will produce a 1 + 1 =3 outcome such that the company’s different businesses perform better together than apart and the whole ends up being greater than the sum of the parts.
Option D is correct
Explanation:
The stronger measure is explicitly satisfied by a corporate strategy focused on collaborative operations, as business entities are obtaining tangible benefits from other businesses within the organization. It also passes the entry cost criterion by reducing the cost of addressing internal entry barriers.
Either the new unit needs to benefit from its relationship with the company or vice versa.
Naturally, most businesses must ensure that some of the measures match their planned approaches.

It is a model in the form of a tree , which act as a supporting tool to get all the possible outcomes i.e. , utility , resource cost , outcomes , is referred to as decision tree.
Hence , from the given options of the question, the correct statement regarding decision tree is c. a graph of decision and their possible consequences .
A decision tree is a visual tool used to map out the different pathways that can be taken in the decision-making process, detailing the consequences of each potential decision.
Explanation:A decision tree is c. a graph of decisions and their possible consequences. This graphical representation is used in various fields such as business, engineering, and computer science to visualize the decision-making process. It consists of nodes representing decisions or chance outcomes, branches that correspond to the choices or steps that can be taken, and leaves that represent the potential outcomes or end states after the decisions have been made.
Decision trees help in analyzing the effects of different paths and can thus assist in making better, more informed decisions. For example, when drawing a tree diagram in probability, it represents all potential outcomes of an experiment, aiding in the visualization and calculation of probabilities. Similarly, in syntactic analysis, tree diagrams illustrate the structure of sentences by showing how units of language, or constituents, come together.
If a company has a capital structure of $5,000,000 common stock with a cost of 17%, $2,000,000 bonds at 4%, $1,000,000 of short term debt with a cost of 7%, and $2,000,000 preferred stock with a cost of 3%, what is the weighted average cost of Capital?
Answer:
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital; formula is as follows;
WACC = wE*re + wP*wp + wD*rd(1-tax)
where w= weight of...
r = cost of ...
E= common equity
P = preferred stock
D = Debt
Find the weights of each source of capital;
WACC = (0.50*0.17) +(0.20*0.03) + [0.20*0.04(1-0.40)] +[0.10*0.07(1-0.40)]
WACC = 0.085 +0.006 + 0.0048 + 0.0042
WACC = 0.1 or 10%

Which of the following is true?
Monetarists argue that the crowding-out effect is rather large.
Monetarists advocate increasing the money supply by a constant rate year after year.
Keynesians advocate increasing the money supply during economic recessions but decreasing the money supply during economic expansions.
Keynesians argue that the crowding-out effect is rather insignificant.
All of these.
Answer: The correct answer is "All of these".
Explanation: All of these statements are TRUE.
Monetarism is an economic doctrine that studies the effects of variations in the money supply on the relevant economic variables (such as employment, prices or production).
Keynesianism is based on state interventionism, defending economic policy as the best tool to get out of an economic crisis. Its economic policy is to increase public spending to stimulate aggregate demand and thus increase production, investment and employment.
if Dawn's disposable income increases from $30,000 to $35,000 what is his marginal propensity to consume if he spends $4,000 of the increase on consumer products?
Answer:
Marginal Propensity to Consume = 0.8
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) exhibits consumer's spending behavior as to what percentage of extra dollar is spent from extra dollar of income.
MPC is calculated as Increase in consumption divided by increase in income.
MPC: Increase in consumption / increase in income: 4,000 / 5,000
MPC = 0.8
On December 31, a company has the following bank accounts and corresponding cash balances:California BankOperating – Summit Ridge ($400,000)Operating – Bakersville 300,000Operating – Smithville 50,000Savings 500,000Sedona BankChecking ($375,000)How should the company report the above bank account balances in the balance sheet at December 31?A. Cash of $75,000.B. Cash of $450,000 and a liability of $375,000.C. Cash of $850,000 and a liability of $775,000.D. Cash of $800,000 and a liability of $725,000.
Final answer:
The company should report a total cash balance of $1,250,000 on its balance sheet, and after deducting the Sedona Bank Checking account overdraft of $375,000, the net cash reported would be $875,000. None of the options provided (A, B, C, or D) are correct based on the calculation of the account balances provided.
Explanation:
On a company's balance sheet at December 31, the company should report the total cash balances from all of its bank accounts in one combined amount, not including any overdrafts or liabilities. The balances in the company's California Bank accounts (Operating - Summit Ridge, Operating - Bakersville, Operating - Smithville, Savings) and its Sedona Bank Checking account should be totaled without regard to whether they are in checking or savings form. The correct way to report the cash balances is to add all the positive cash balances together:
California Bank Operating - Summit Ridge: $400,000
California Bank Operating - Bakersville: $300,000
California Bank Operating - Smithville: $50,000
California Bank Savings: $500,000
Sedona Bank Checking: ($375,000) [This is a liability and not added to the cash]
Adding these together: $400,000 + $300,000 + $50,000 + $500,000 = $1,250,000 in positive cash balances. Therefore the correct presentation on the balance sheet is:
Cash: $1,250,000
Less: Overdraft: $375,000
This results in net cash of $875,000. None of the provided responses (A, B, C, or D) are correct, as, based on the information given, the actual reporting should be cash of $875,000 (without any additional liability since the overdraft has been already deducted from the total cash).
When the price of product A rises, the quantity of product B that is purchased decreases. Products A and B are:__________
Answer:
They are Complimentary Goods.
Explanation:
Complimentary goods are defined in economics as products that whose use is related to the use of an associated or paired good.
i.e.: Like Cars and Petroleum
When the price is increase in one product, then the quantity demand for that product decreases. This in tern affects the other related product and the quantity demand of that related product falls as well.
Answer: Product A and B are complimentary Goods .
Explanation: Complimentary Goods are a part of 'Price of related goods' factor affecting demand , among the 4 factors - Price of good , Price of related goods (substitute & complimentary) , Income , Taste preferences
These are goods which are jointly demanded . Eg Inverter & Battery .
These goods price & demand have inverse relationship implying price rise of one good leads to fall in other good demand , price fall of one good leads to rise in other good demand .
This happens because price of one good rise leads to fall in its demand (price demand inverse relationship as per law of demand) , which subsequently reduces the demand for its complement good also as both are used jointly .
Similarly , price fall of good reduces its own as well as its complement good demand.
Eg Price rise of petrol can lead to a reduction in demand of cars .
Alex wrecked his car and received $22,000 from the insurance company to replace it. His basis in the car was $20,000 and he spent $15,000 on a replacement vehicle. What is the amount of the recognized gain?
Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
The recognized gain is computed below:
Recognized gain = Received amount from the insurance company - Alex basis in car value
= $22,000 - $20,000
= $2,000
The recognized gain shows a difference between the received amount and his basis in car
The other information which is mentioned is ignored as it is not relevant for the computation part

Seattle Inc. identifies an investment opportunity, which will yield cash flows of $30,000 per year in Years 1 through 4, $35,000 per year in Years 5 through 9, and $40,000 in Year 10. The initial cash outflow is $150,000, and the firm's required rate of return is 10 percent. Assume cash flows occur evenly during the year, 1/365th each day. What is the payback period for this investment? (Round off the answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
the payback period = 4.86 years
Explanation:
Seattle's cash flows are as following:
Year Cash flow Accumulated cash flows

6 $35,000 $40,000
etc.
The payback period is between year 4 and 5:
4 years + ($30,000 / $35,000) = 4.86 years oryear 4 + [($30,000 / $35,000) x 365 days] = 4 years and 313 daysWhich of the following HR activities is similar to analyzing a job that does not yet exist?
A. Human resource planning
B. Performance appraisal
C. Job evaluation
D.Work redesign
E. Selection
Answer: Work redesign
Explanation:
Work redesign is the process by which a job analyst accesses an already existing job role to check for modifications that can be carried out on that job role to increase job effectiveness. The job modifications could be in the form of: searching for a best fit for a job role, improvements in working conditions, adjusting the job description.
Therefore work redesign is a way of analysing a job role that doesn't exist at the moment, but if redesigned could be very effective.
How do changes in planned expenditures affect the aggregate demand curve?
Answer:
When there is change in income level which determines the level of planned expenditures, there is a movement along the Aggregate expenditure curve but a shift towards the left or right on the Aggregate Demand curve.
Explanation:
Planned expenditures depicts the relationship between total spending, which is determined by income level in the economy; and the level of real GDP produced, with price level kept constant. Hence, an increase in income causes a movement along the Aggregate Expenditure curve.
Aggregate Demand depicts the relationship between price level and the level of real GDP produced, with income level kept constant. Hence, an increase in price level triggers a movement along the Aggregate Demand curve.
Therefore when income level changes which by extension means a change in planned expenditures, there is a movement along the aggregate expenditure curve but an left (inward) or right (outward) move on the Aggregate Demand curve; as long as price levels remain constant

A hamburger costs $8 in the United States and ¥960 in Japan. The nominal exchange rate is ¥110 per dollar. The inflation rates in the United States and in Japan are 2% and 4%, respectively. The purchasing power parity is _____ per dollar.
Answer:
122.4
Explanation:
The formula for calculating purchasing power parity is given below:
Exchange rate for the Purchasing power parity can be calculated using the below formula:
960/8=120¥ per $
ST = S0 × (1 + if/ 1 + id)
ST = Estimated spot rate at end of period
S0 = Current spot rate
if = period inflation rate in foreign currency
id = period inflation rate in domestic currency
ST=120 x (1+4%/1+2%)
=120 x (1.04/1.02)
=120 x 1.02
=122.4 ¥ per dollar
A rectangular box has a volume of $4320$ cubic inches and a surface area of $1704$ square inches. The sum of the lengths of its $12$ edges is $208$ inches. What would be the volume of the box, in cubic inches, if its length, width and height were each increased by one inch?
Answer:
the volume would be V₂ = 5225 in³
Explanation:
denoting w as width , L as length and h as height , then the volume of the box will be
V = w*h*L
the surface area will be
S= 2*w*h + 2*w*L + 2*h*L→ S/2 = w*h +w*L + h*L
and the sum of the lengths TL will be
TL = 4*h + 4*L + 4*w → TL/4 = w + h + L
if the dimensions would increase 1 unit , the volume would be
V₂ = (w+1)*(h+1)*(L+1) = w*h*L + w*h+ wL +w + hL + h + L +1 = w*h*L + (w*h+ wL+hL) + (w+h+L) + 1 = V + S/2 + TL/4 +1
V₂ = V + S/2 + TL/4 +1 = 4320 in³ + 1704 in²/2 *1 in + 208 in/4 * 1 in² +1* 1 in³ = 5225 in³
V₂ = 5225 in³
Answer:
the volume would be V₂ = 5225 in³

Xavier Co. wants to purchase a machine for $36,100 with a four year life and a $1,100 salvage value. Xavier requires an 8% return on investment. The expected year-end net cash flows are $11,100 in each of the four years. What is the machine's net present value (round to the nearest whole dollar)?
Answer:
$1,473
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows substracted from the initial investment.
The net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow for year zero = $-36,100
Cash flow for year one to three = $11,100
Cash flow for year four = $11,100 + $1,100 = $12,200
I = 8%

Suppose an economy’s real GDP is $30,000 in year 1 and $31,200 in year 2. Instructions: In part a, enter your answer as a whole number. In part b, round your answer to 2 decimal places. a. What is the growth rate of its real GDP? Assume that population is 100 in year 1 and 102 in year 2. b. What is the growth rate of real GDP per capita?
Answer:
growth rate of real GDP = 4%
Growth rate of real GDP per capita = 1.96 %
Explanation:
given data
economy’s real GDP year 1 = $30,000
economy’s real GDP year 2 = $31,200
to find out
growth rate of its real GDP and growth rate of real GDP per capita
solution
we get here growth rate of real GDP that is express as =
growth rate = (real GDP year 2 - real GDP year 1) ÷ real GDP year1 ......................1
put here value we get
growth rate of real GDP = [tex]\frac{31200-30000}{30000}[/tex]
growth rate of real GDP = 4%
and
now we get first real GDP per capita that is express as
real GDP per capita = [tex]\frac{GDP}{population}[/tex] ..........2
real GDP per capita year 1 = [tex]\frac{30000}{100}[/tex]
real GDP per capita year 1 = 300
and
real GDP per capita year 2 = [tex]\frac{31200}{102}[/tex]
real GDP per capita year 2 = 305.882
so now Growth rate of real GDP per capita will be as
Growth rate of real GDP per capita = ( real GDP per capita year 2 - real GDP per capita year 1 ) ÷ real GDP per capita year 1 ............3
put here value we get
Growth rate of real GDP per capita = [tex]\frac{305.882-300}{300}[/tex]
Growth rate of real GDP per capita = 1.96 %
The growth rate of the economy's real GDP is 4%. The growth rate of real GDP per capita is 2.22%.
Explanation:a. To calculate the growth rate of real GDP, we use the formula: (Year 2 GDP - Year 1 GDP) / Year 1 GDP. Plugging in the values, we get: (31200 - 30000) / 30000 = 0.04. So the growth rate of real GDP is 0.04, or 4%.
b. To calculate the growth rate of real GDP per capita, we use the formula: (Year 2 GDP per capita - Year 1 GDP per capita) / Year 1 GDP per capita. The GDP per capita in Year 1 is $300 (calculated by dividing Year 1 GDP by Year 1 population) and in Year 2 is $306.67 (Year 2 GDP divided by Year 2 population). Plugging in the values, we get: (306.67 - 300) / 300 = 0.0222. So the growth rate of real GDP per capita is 0.0222, or 2.22%.

You are climbing a stair case. It takes n steps to reach to the top. Each time you can either climb 1 or 2 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?
Final answer:
The problem of finding the number of distinct ways to climb a staircase with 1 or 2 steps at a time is solved by using the Fibonacci sequence. The total number of ways W(n) is the sum of the ways to climb to the previous two steps, W(n-1) and W(n-2).
Explanation:
The student's question involves finding the number of distinct ways one can climb to the top of a staircase by taking 1 or 2 steps at a time. This is a classic problem that can be approached using combinatorics, specifically the Fibonacci sequence.
Let us denote the number of ways to climb a staircase of n steps as W(n). For the base cases: W(1) = 1 (only one way to climb one step) and W(2) = 2 (either two single steps or one double step).
To get to step n, one could either come from step n-1 (by taking one step) or from step n-2 (by taking two steps). Hence, the number of ways to reach step n is the sum of the ways to reach steps n-1 and n-2. Mathematically, this can be expressed as W(n) = W(n-1) + W(n-2).
Therefore, to find W(n) for any n, one would start at the base cases and work upwards until reaching W(n).
An economics professor, upset about the rising cost of textbooks, proposed that his department purchase 50 copies of a statistics book so the students in the statistics class would not have to purchase their own books but rather could borrow a book for the semester and then return it for the next class to use. Which of the following strategies would not prevent a common resource problem with the textbooks?a) Students will be required to pay a deposit for the textbook, which is refundable at the end of the semester when the book is returned in good condition.b) The textbooks are placed in a common area of the department so students can borrow and return them as needed.c) Students must sign a form agreeing to return the book or pay a fine equal to the replacement cost of the book.d) The textbooks are placed in the professor’s office and will only be given to students who are registered members of the class. These students will not receive their final course grades until the books are returned.
Answer:
B) The textbooks are placed in a common area of the department so students can borrow and return them as needed.
Explanation:
To avoid a new tragedy of the commons from occurring in the statistics class, each student that receives a book should be responsible for taking good care of it.
If the books are simply placed in a common area, anyone can come and take a book home and never return it or return it in a very bad shape.

Quinn contracts to provide ten tons of scrap steel at $500 per ton to Rendered Materials, Inc. An unforeseen shortage of scrap steel suddenly develops, making it impossible for Quinn to fulfill the contract for less than $5,000 per ton. Quinn's best defense against performing the contract would be thata. procuring the steel would force Quinn into bankruptcy.b. the law has rendered performance of the contract illegal.c. performance of the contract is commercially impracticable.d. the specific subject matter of the contract has been destroyed.
Answer:
C) performance of the contract is commercially impracticable.
Explanation:
Contract law contemplates certain situations where performing the contract is either difficult or impossible and therefore the party is not liable for breaching the contract.
Commercial impracticability applies to contracts where the performance of at least one party is impracticable and cannot be accomplished.
In this case, Quinn cannot perform his duty since the price of scrap steel increased beyond any reasonable price contemplated in the contract. Since Quinn is not responsible for setting the price of scrap steel, he is not liable for breaching the contract.
Quinn's best defense against performing the contract due to an unforeseen shortage of scrap steel is claiming that performance has become commercially impracticable. Thus, the correct option is c.
Under contract law, an excuse for non-performance can be made if an unforeseen event significantly increases the cost of performance to the point where the contract becomes commercially impracticable.
This is typically covered under the legal doctrine of commercial impracticability, which relieves a party from their contractual obligations if performing the contract has become extremely difficult or unusually expensive due to unforeseen events.
In this case, the unexpected shortage of scrap steel making the cost jump from $500 to $5,000 per ton makes fulfilling the contract commercially impracticable for Quinn.
