Which theory would most likely explain why a commercial bank, which usually focuses on short-term securities, would switch to long-term securities due to a change in interest rates. pure expectation liquidity premium segmented market preferred habitat
Answer:
preferred habitat
Explanation:
According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.
In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes
The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate
Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium
According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.
E-Eyes has a new issue of preferred stock it calls 20/20 preferred. The stock will pay a $20 dividend per year, but the first dividend will not be paid until 20 years from today. If you require a return of 9.75 percent on this stock, how much should you pay today
Answer:
You would pay approximately $35.00 today
Explanation:
The cost of the stock at the beginning of the year 20
= 20/9.75%
= 20/0.0975
= 205.13 dollars
We find the current price of the stock
= Fv/(1+r)^n
= 205.13/(1+9.75%)¹⁹
= 205.13/1.0975¹⁹
= 205.13/5.86
= $35.00
From this calculation you have to pay 35 Dollars today.
A certain machine will have a cost of $25,000 (then $) six years from now. Find the PW of the machine if the real interest rate is 10% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year using (a) constant-value dollars, and (b) then-current dollars.
Answer:
The Present Worth of the machine if the real interest rate is 10% per year and the inflation rate is 5% per year, using:
(a) constant-value dollars
= $10,518.60
(b) then-current dollars
= $10,818.65
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost a certain machine six years from now = $25,000
Time period = 6 years
Real interest rate = 10%
Inflation rate = 5%
Nominal interest rate = 5% (10% - 5%)
Discount factor at 10% for 6 years = 0.564
Discount factor at 5% for 6 years = 0.746
PW using:
a) Constant-value dollars = $18,650 ($25,000 * 0.746)
PW = $10,518.60 ($18,650 * 0.564)
b) Then-current dollars:
The nominal rate = 0.1 + 0.05 + (0.1 * 0.05) = 0.155
$10,818.65 ($25,000 * 0.432746)

You sell one December futures contracts when the futures price is $1,010 per unit. Each contract is on 100 units and the initial margin per contract that you provide is $2,000. The maintenance margin per contract is $1,500. During the next day the futures price falls to $1,008 per unit. What is the balance of your margin account at the end of the day? a. $3,700b. $1,800c. $2,200d. $1,500
Answer:
b. $1800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the balance of your margin account at the end of the day
Margin account balance=$2,000-[100*($1008-$1010)]
Margin account balance=$2,000-(100*$2)
Margin account balance=$2,000-$200
Margin account balance=$1,800
Therefore the balance of your margin account at the end of the day is $1,800
The manager of Quick Car Inspection reviewed the monthly operating costs for the past year. The costs ranged from $4,400 for 1,400 inspections to $4,200 for 1,000 inspections. Please use the high-low method to calculate the variable cost per inspection.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per inspection
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The costs ranged from $4,400 for 1,400 inspections to $4,200 for 1,000 inspections.
To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,400 - 4,200) / (1,400 - 1,000)
Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per inspection
Consider the following stock price and shares outstanding data: Stock Name Price per Share Shares Outstanding (Billion) Lowes $28.80 1.53 Wal-Mart $47.90 4.17 Intel $19.60 5.77 Boeing $75.00 0.79 If you are interested in creatinga value-weighted portfolio of these four stocks, then the percentage amount that you would invest in Lowes is closest to: A) 25% B) 11% C) 20.0% D) 12% E) 8%
Answer:
B) 11%
Explanation:
We need to determine the total amount to invest in all the stocks in the first place as computed below:
Lowes= $28.80*1.53=$44.06
Wal-Mart=$47.90*4.17=$199.74
Intel=$19.60*5.77 =$113.09
Boeing=$75.00*0.79=$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$44.06+$199.74+$113.09+$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=amount invested in Lowes/total portfolio amount
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=$44.06/$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=11%

Consuela is a business analyst for her company. She is working from home and on a video conference with several other team members. Her video conferencing client displays a message indicating that the quality of her connection is unstable. What is the most likely problem
Answer: c) Latency between her VPN client removing encryption and making it available to the video-conferencing client is causing poor performance.
Explanation:
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to protect the identity of people online as it encrypts a person's data and uses different servers to allow them browse the web and with a different IP address from the user's original IP address that way it appears as though the user is somewhere else in the world than they actually are.
In doing this however, VPNs might give slow speeds due to the latency that develops as the VPN encrypts and decrypts data for use. In this case, the VPN latency in decrypting the video call for Consuela to see it is slowing down the speed of the Video conferencing client.
What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method
Answer:
$15 per unit
Explanation:
Note "The full question is attached as picture below"
Markup = (Fixed Costs + Desired Profit) / Units produced
Markup = ($300,000 + $150,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Markup = $500,000 / 50,000 units
Markup = $10 per unit
Variable cost per unit = Variable cost / Quantity
Variable cost per unit = ($200,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Variable cost per unit = $5 per unit
Sales price = Variable cost + Markup
Sales price = $5 per unit + $10 per unit
Sales price = $15 per unit
So, the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method is $15 per unit.
Consider single-server Q with LIFO (last-infirst-out) services. Suppose that three customers show up at times 5, 6, and 8, and that they all have service times of 4. When does customer 2 leave the system?
a. 3
b. 9
c. 13
d. 17
e. 19a
Answer:
d. 17
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Here the time started i.e. t=0
Therefore there was no customer upto t=5 hour
At t=5
The client first came and as there was no other customer available so we begins service to customer 1
Now
As service off is 4 hour so service to client 1 will end at
t=9 hour.
Also mid-time at t = 6
That means the client 2 came and at t = 8 the client 3 came.
Now at t = 9 the service begins for client 3 and end at t = 13 ( 9 + 4)
At t=13 hour, so after four hours it should be 17
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 40 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 35 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per bottle, and producers receive $6 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine isper bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers isper bottle, and the burden that falls on producers isper bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The amount of the tax for the wine bottle is
= $9 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $3 per bottle
Before the tax, the price per bottle is $7 per bottle
The Tax burden on consumers is
= $9 - $7
= $2 per bottle
And, the tax burden on producers is
= $7 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $1 per bottle
So, the given statement is false as the impact would remain the same whether it is for producer or consumer
Hi guys, I need your help to give your opinions about this one.
Example:
The experts on your island warn of a possible tsunami, but opinions are divided.
a. A quarter of the experts (group A) assume that a tsunami will certainly come.
b. Three quarters of the experts (group B) assume that the tsunami will come with a 10 percent probability.
Which professionals (group A or group B) would you like to believe more and why? Give reasons for your answer. And what are the consequences of this decision for your actions? And how do you deal with the risks of a wrong decision?
I would believe group A more
because, as we know "Precaution is always better an cure"
If I stay more cautious about it, there are less chances of the tsunami to cause a severe harm. If I don't stay much cautious, according to group B, and in case if their prediction goes wrong, I'll be in serious danger.
I chose group A because
even if the tsunami ain't powerful enough, I would be glad I was careful enough for it and it'll help me in future if I face another situation like this again
The consequences if I chose group B would be :
well, if I would have chose B, I won't have taken any Precautions at all
I won't have been careful enough
and in case their prediction went wrong, I would have to suffer high losses.
I hope it helps.... Have a great time ahead!
In a continuous review inventory system, the lead time for door knobs is weeks. The standard deviation of demand during the lead time is units. The desired cycle-service level is percent. The supplier of door knobs streamlined its operations and now quotes a 1 week lead time. Refer to the standard normal tableLOADING... for z-values. How much can the safety stock be reduced without reducing the percent cycle-service level? The safety stock can be reduced by nothing door knobs. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
The answer is "116 doorknobs".
Explanation:
The standard deviation of the demand before the (four weeks) protection intervals = [tex]\sigma-d \times (\sqrt{L}) = 100 \ units\\[/tex]
The desired cycle service level is [tex]99\%[/tex].Therefore, [tex]z = 2.33[/tex]
The safety stocks for the four-weeks protecting interval are:
Safety stock [tex]= z\times [ \sigma-d \times (\sqrt{L})][/tex]
[tex]= 2.33 \times 100 \\\\= 233\ door\ knobs[/tex]
The safety stocks require for the one-week protection interval are: [tex]\sigma-dLT = \sigma-dt \times (\sqrt{L}) = \sigma-dt \times (\sqrt{4}) = 100\ door\ knobs\\\\\sigma-d = \frac{100}{(\sqrt{4})} = \frac{100}{2} = 50 \ door\ knobs\\\\[/tex]
Safety stock [tex]= z\times \sigma-dt = 2.33 \times 50 = 116.5 \ or\ 117 \ door\ knobs\\\\[/tex]
Safety stock reduction[tex]= 233 -117 = 116 \ door\ knobs[/tex]

A consumer has $180 in monthly income to spend on two goods, D and G, where D is on the y-axis. The price of good D, PD is $6, and the marginal rate of transformation is -2. How many units of good G can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G
Answer:
The number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.
Explanation:
Since D is on the y-axis, indicating G is on the x-axis, the formula for calculating the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) is given as follows:
MRT = - PG / PD …………………. (1)
Where:
MRT = Marginal rate of transformation = -2
PG = Price of good G = ?
PD = Price of good D = $6
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for PG, we have:
-2 = - PG / $6
PG = -2 * (-6) = $12
Therefore, we have:
Number units of good G if all income is spent on it = Monthly income / PG = $180 / $12 = 15
Therefore, the number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.

An outside supplier offers to provide Epsilon with all the units it needs at $63.05 per unit. If Epsilon buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 35% of its overhead. Epsilon should choose to:
Answer:
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $59.05
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Epsilon should choose to:
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + [41*(100%-35%)]
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + (41*65%)
Relevant costs to make = 8.20 + 24.20 + 26.65
Relevant costs to make =$59.05
Therefore Epsilon should choose to: MAKE SINCE THE RELEVANT COST TO MAKE IT IS $59.05
The net asset value of shares in a closed-end investment company is $36. An investor buys the shares for $34 in the secondary market. The company distributes $1 and after one year, the net asset rises to $42. The investor sells the shares for $43 in the secondary market. What is the percentage return on the investment
Answer:
Closed-End Investment Company
The percentage return on the investment is:
= = 29.41%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net asset value of share = $36
Price paid by an investor = $34
Dividend distributed = $1
Net asset value after one year = $42
Selling price in the secondary market by the investor = $43
Total amount realized by the investor = $44 ($43 + $1)
Cost of investment = $34
Dollar return on the investment = $10 ($44 - $34)
Percentage return on the investment = Return on investment/Cost of investment * 100
= $10/$34 * 100
= 29.41%

At the beginning of the year, Crane Company estimates annual overhead costs to be $2400000 and that 400000 machine hours will be operated. Using machine hours as a base, the amount of overhead applied during the year if actual machine hours for the year was 375000 hours is
Answer:
the amount of overhead applied during the year is $2,250,000
Explanation:
The computation of the overhead applied is shown below;
= Estimated annual overhead ÷ machine hours × actual machine hours
= $2,400,000 ÷ 400,000 machine hours × 375,000 hours
= $2,250,000
hence, the amount of overhead applied during the year is $2,250,000

1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
1b. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under absorption costing.
2a. Assume the company uses variable costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
2b.
Assume the company uses variable costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under variable costing.
Answer:
1a. Product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.
1b. Net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.
2a. Product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.
2b. Net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.
Explanation:
1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
Fixed overhead per unit = Fixed overhead for the year / Units produce for the year = $420,000 / $42,000 = $10
Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit + Fixed overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 + $10 = $82
Therefore, product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.
1b. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under absorption costing.
Note: See number 1b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under absorption costing.
From number 1b of the attached excel file, we have:
Net operating income = $774,000
Therefore, net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.
2a. Assume the company uses variable costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 = $72
Therefore, product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.
2b. Assume the company uses variable costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under variable costing.
Note: See number 2b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under variable costing.
From number 2b of the attached excel file, we have:
Net operating income = $694,000
Therefore, net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.
