Wilcox, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors, owned 60 percent of the shares of Sterling Corporation. When the market price of Sterling’s shares was $22 per share, Wilcox sold all of his shares in Sterling to Conrad for $29 per share. The minority shareholders of Sterling brought suit against Wilcox demanding a pro rata share of the amount Wilcox received in excess of the market price. a. What are the arguments to support the minority shareholders’ claim for a pro rata share of the amount Wilcox received in excess of the market price? b. What are the arguments to reject the minority shareholders’ claim for a pro rata share of the amount Wilcox received in excess of the market price? c. Which side should prevail?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Sterling Corporation

a. Arguments to support the minority shareholders' claim include:

1. If there is a provision to this effect in the Shareholders' agreement,

2. If the minority shareholders can prove that Wilcox oppressed the minority shareholders by selling off his shares in the corporation, and

3. If the Shareholders' agreement forbids Wilcox from selling off his shareholdings.

b. The arguments to reject the minority shareholders' claim include:

1. As the majority shareholder, Wilcox dictates the direction of firm until the sale-off.

2. Wilcox is within his rights to sell his shares to Conrad.

3. Wilcox does not oppress the minority shareholders with the sale to Conrad.

c.  Wilcox should prevail.  Apparently, he did not act illegally or contrary to agreement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shareholding of Wilcox (chief executive officer and chairman of the BOD) = 60%, which is > 50%.

Shareholding of Minority shareholders = 40%, which is <50%

Market price per share of Sterling Corporation = $22

Selling price of Wilcox's shares = $29

Excess of the market price = $7 ($29 - $22)

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Your company is planning to air a number of television commercials during a television network's presentation of the an awards show. The network is charging your company $1.9 million per 30-second spot. Additional fixed costs (development and personnel costs) amount to $500,000, and the network has agreed to provide a discount of $160,000√x for x television spots.  

Required:

Write down the cost function C, marginal cost function C’, and average cost function

Answer:

- The  the cost function is 500,000 + 1,900,000x - 160,000√x

- the marginal cost function is 1,900,000 - (80000 /√x  )

- The  average cost function is 1,900,000 + [ 500,000 / x ] - [ 160,000 / √x ]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

cost per spot = $1.9 million

Additional cost =  $500,000

discount = $160,000√x

 Let C(x) represent the cost ;

Cost x television spot = cost per spot × Number pf spots

Cost x television spot = $1.9 million × x

Cost x television spot = $1,900,000x

Now, the television set total cost will be;

C(x) = television cost + additional cost - discount  

C(x) = 500,000 + 1,900,000x - 160,000√x

Therefore, The  the cost function is 500,000 + 1,900,000x - 160,000√x

Marginal Cost Function;

Cost function C(x) = 500,000 + 1,900,000x - 160,000√x

we differentiate with respect to x

C'(x) = d/dx( 500,000 + 1,900,000x - 160,000√x )

= d/dx( 500000 ) + 1,900,000d/dx -160,000 d/d( √x )

= 0+ 1,900,000(1) -160,000( 1 / 2√x )

= 1,900,000 - (160,000 / 2√x  )

= 1,900,000 - (80000 /√x  )

Therefore, the marginal cost function is 1,900,000 - (80000 /√x  )

Average cost function;

Average cost function = C(x) / x

we substitute

Average cost function = [500,000 + 1,900,000x - 160,000√x] / x

=  [500,000 / x ] + [1,900,000x / x ]  - [ 160,000√x / x ]

=  [ 500,000 / x ] + 1,900,000 - [ 160,000√x / x ]

=  1,900,000 + [ 500,000 / x ] - [ 160,000 / √x ]

Therefore, The average cost function is 1,900,000 + [ 500,000 / x ] - [ 160,000 / √x ]

x/2 = 3 1/3 can you give me A step by step explanation

Answers

x/2 = 3 1/3

So first thing we are going to turn the mixed fraction into an improper fraction because it’s easier to work with.

x/2 = 10/3

No we are going to make x the subject. To do this we are going to transpose by just multiplying each side by 2 (it’s basically doing the opposite of what is happening on the x side).

x/2 * 2 = 10/3 * 2

The 2 * 2 on the x side is cancelled out.

x = 10/3 * 2

Now we multiply to find x.

x = 10/3 * 2
x = 20/3

Now turn it back to a mixed fraction.

x = 6 2/3

assuming the growth rate stays constant at 1.2%, how many doublings would take place in a 500- year period?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...

  1.012^500

The number of doublings is the solution to ...

  2^n = 1.012^500

Taking logarithms, we have ...

  n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)

  n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046

About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.

Answers

Answer:

%37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Airlines must be careful about the total weight of baggage carried by a plane on a commercial flight. Passengers with items exceeding the maximum single-item weight (usually about 70 pounds) must pay a fee (usually about $50.00 per item). Airlines continually monitor the proportion of overweight items in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the overweight fees. English Air charges different amounts for overweight items on flights to the U.S. and Canada than it does on flights within Europe. Recently, a random sample of 256 items checked on English Air flights to the U.S. and Canada contained 37 overweight items, and an independent, random sample of 246 items checked on English Air flights within Europe contained 41 overweight items.

Based on these samples, can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that there is a difference between the proportion of all items on English Air flights to the U.S. and Canada which are overweight (p1) and the proportion of all items on English Air flights within Europe which are overweight (p2)?

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.4966 > 0.05, which means that we cannot conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that there is a difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

To US and Canada:

37 overweight out of 256. So

[tex]p_1 = \frac{37}{256} = 0.1445, s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1445*0.8555}{256}} = 0.022[/tex]

Europe:

41 overweight out of 246. So

[tex]p_2 = \frac{41}{246} = 0.1667, s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{0.1667*0.8333}{246}} = 0.0238[/tex]

Test if there is a difference between the proportion of all items on English Air flights to the U.S. and Canada which are overweight (p1) and the proportion of all items on English Air flights within Europe which are overweight (p2):

At the null hypothesis, we test if there is no difference, that is, if the subtraction of the proportions is 0.

[tex]H_0: p_1 - p_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if there is difference, that is, if the subtraction of the null hypothesis is different of 0.

[tex]H_1: p_1 - p_2 \neq 0[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error.

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0[/tex]

From the two samples:

[tex]X = p_1 - p_2 = 0.1445 - 0.1667 = -0.0222[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.022^2 + 0.0238^2} = 0.0324[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{-0.0222 - 0}{0.0324}[/tex]

[tex]z = -0.68[/tex]

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of the sample proportion differing from 0 by at least 0.0222, which is P(|z| > 0.68), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -0.68.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.68 has a p-value of 0.2483

0.2483*2 = 0.4966

The p-value of the test is 0.4966 > 0.05, which means that we cannot conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that there is a difference.
