The concept of market efficiency underpins almost all financial theory and decision models. When financial markets are efficient, the price of a security—such as a share of a particular corporation’s common stock—should be____the present value estimate of the firm’s expected cash flows discounted by its appropriate rate of return (also called the intrinsic value of the stock).
Almost all financial theory and decision models assume that the financial markets are efficient. The informational efficiency of financial markets determines the ability of investors to "beat" the market and earn excess (or abnormal) becomes available. Financial theorists have identified three levels of informational efficiency that reflect what information is incorporated in stock prices.
Consider the following statement, and identify the form of capital market efficiency under the efficient market hypothesis based on this statement.
Current market prices reflect all relevant publicly available information.
This statement is consistent with:_____.
A. Strong-form efficiency.
B. Weak-form efficiency.
C. Semistrong form efficiency.
Consider that there is a semistrong-form of efficiency in the markets.

In preparing a company's statement of cash flows for the most recent year using the indirect method, the following information is available:
Net income for the year was $58,000
Accounts payable increased by $18,600
Accounts receivable decreased by $25,600
Inventories increased by $6,200
Depreciation expense was $31,800
Net cash provided by operating activities was:_________.

Answers

Answer:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $127,800.

Explanation:

Net cash provided by operating activities can be calculated as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities = Net income for the year + Increase in accounts payable + Decrease in accounts receivable - Increase in inventories increased + Depreciation expense = $58,000 + $18,600 + $25,600 - $6,200 + $31,800 = $127,800

Therefore, net cash provided by operating activities was $127,800.

describe five ways in which contract management might adds value after the contract award stage of the sourcing process.​

Answers

Answer:

The five ways for contract management are:

1 - how buyer and supplier work after contract has been awarded.

2 - Key decisions made.

3 - Risk of misunderstanding and disagreement.

4 - Identify opportunities and improve performance.

5 - Performance evaluation against KPIs.

Explanation:

Contract management is essential for any business to succeed. There are five ways in which contract management will add value after contract award stage. Usually value addition is achieved by the response of buyer and seller towards the services after the contract has been awarded. There should be right individuals involved in decision making process. The performance should be evaluated against the KPI mentioned in the contract. If both supplier and  buyer work with mutual understanding there is very less chance for disagreement and value will be added to the contract performance.

At December 31, 2020, Suffolk Corporation had an estimated warranty liability of $105,000 for accounting purposes and $0 for tax purposes. (The warranty costs are not deductible until paid.) The effective tax rate is 20%. Compute the amount Suffolk should report as a deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020.

Answers

Answer:

Deferred tax asset = $21000

Explanation:

Given the warranty liability = $105000

Effective tax rate = 20%

The deferred tax asset can be calculated by calculating the effective tax from the warranty liability. Therefore, just multiply the effective tax rate to the warranty liability.

Deferred tax asset = Effective tax rate x Warranty liability

Deferred tax asset = 20% x $105000

Deferred tax asset = $21000

Promotional expenses at the maturity stage of the product life cycle are often designed to Multiple Choice maintain market share. create a sense of nostalgia. attract more price-conscious consumers. thwart the growing number of competitors that have entered the market. convince those who have abandoned the brand to try it again.

Answers

Answer:

maintain market share.

Explanation:

A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.

A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.

Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;

1. Introduction.

2. Growth.

3. Maturity.

4. Decline.

Maturity is the stage in which product experiences a peak in sales growth and then eventually slows as the product reaches more customers, and lastly price competition is fierce.

Promotional expenses that are incurred at the maturity stage of the product life cycle are often designed by marketers to maintain market share. This is usually achieved through further product differentiation and finding new buyers (consumers).

If the amount of beachfront land in Malibu supplied to the market remains the same even when the price of beachfront land in Malibu increases, the:_________.
a. demand for beachfront land in malibu must be perfectly inelastic,
b. supply of beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly elastic.
c. demand for beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly elastic.
d. supply of beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly inelastic.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Supply is perfectly inelastic if a small change in price has no effect on quantity supplied

Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Exhibit 4-3

PRICE OF GOOD Z:

$10 // QD: 300 // QS: 160

$12 // QD: 250 // QS: 180

$14 // QD: 200 // QS: 200

$16 // QD: 150 // QS: 220

Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.

a. surplus, 70

b. surplus, 20

c. shortage, 70

d. shortage, 20

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

A price ceiling can be described as a maximum price set by the government whereby it is illegal to sell the good above it. A price ceiling will cause a product shortage if it is set below the product's equilibrium price.

Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded (QD) is equal to the quantity supplied (QS).

From Exhibit 4-3, QD is equal to QS is equal to 200 at the price of $14. This implies that the ceiling price of $12 imposed by the government is below the equilibrium price.

Based Exhibit 4-3. the units of shortage of goods Z at $12 can be calculated as follows:

Units of shortage of goods Z at the price of $12 = QD at the price of $12 – QS at the price of $12 = 250 - 180 = 70 units

Therefore, the correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 12% note payable, with a face value of $10,800. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1? (Use 360 days a year.)
a) $11,016
b) $10,800
c) $11,088
d) $11,232
e) $10,944

Answers

Answer: $11232

Explanation:

The maturity value of the note on March 1 will be calculated as thus:

Face value = $10800

Interest on note = $10800 × 12% × 120/360 = $432

Maturity value will now be:

= Face value + Interest on note

= $10800 + $432

= $11232

The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows: Revenues $ 240,000 Less operating expenses: Commissions to amusement houses $ 70,000 Insurance 45,000 Depreciation 28,500 Maintenance 30,000 173,500 Net operating income $ 66,500 Required: 1a. Compute the payback period associated with the new electronic games. 1b. Assume that Nick’s Novelties, Inc., will not purchase new games unless they provide a payback period of five years or less. Would the company purchase the new games?

Answers

Answer:

     a. 5 years

     b. Yes they will because the payback period is 5 years.

Explanation:

a. Payback period

First calculate the annual cash inflow:

= Net income + Depreciation

= 66,500 + 28,500

= $95,000

The investment cost was $475,000

Payback period = Investment cost / Annual cash inflow

= 475,000 / 95,000

= 5 years

b. The company will purchase the games because they have a payback period of 5 years.

Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug, and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If both or neither take the drug, they tie and split the prize. Taking the drug imposes health risks that are equivalent to a loss of X dollars

Required:
a. Draw a $2 payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes face.
b. For what X is taking the drug the Nash equilibrium?
c. Does making the drug safer (that is, lowering X) make the athletes better or worse off? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a) attached below.

b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium

c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase

Explanation:

a) 2 * 2  payoff matrix  describing the decision faced by the athletes

attached below

when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x

when neither player  takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000

When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x

b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then

; $5000 - $x > 0  becomes the best response

hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium

c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )

will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase

Answers

Answer:

Securities returns are uncorrelated.

Explanation:

Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio

Non systemic risk are risks that can be diversified away. they are also called company specific risk. Examples of this type of risk is a manager engaging in fraudulent activities.

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.

1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price

When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping

2. Negative correlation :  it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price

When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping

3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables

In order to achieve the highest benefit of diversification, there should be no relationship between the assets in the portfolio

Market efficiency is probably the most controversial concept in finance. Even recent winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics come down on opposite sides of the issue. Nonetheless, it is important for you to grapple with this idea. It has very important practical implications for investment decisions, including (especially) for your personal investment decision. In particular, should you pursue active or passive strategies

Answers

Answer:

Active strategies should be pursued when the market is more volatile, with larger fluctuations over a shorter period of time, that require a more active management of a portfolio, in order to take advantage of fast changing positions in different assets, and also in order to avoid possible losses due to staying in particular positions for too long.

Passive strategies is more long-term focused, and should be pursued when the economy is more stable. Passive strategies should be analyzed carefully before execution because once the passive investment is made, the idea is to keep the position for a long period of time instead of buying and selling constantly as in a active strategy.

Other things equal, compared to using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) inventory cost method, using the last-in-first-out (LIFO) method in a rising price environment will result in a higher:____________
A. quick ratio.
B. inventory turnover ratio.
C. gross profit margin.

Answers

Answer:

B. inventory turnover ratio.

Explanation:

My best guess is that the inventory turnover ratio will be greater when LIFO is used during rising price environment because COGS will be higher and the inventory costs will be lower under LIFO than under FIFO.

Hope its correct.

Contrary to popular opinion, CEOs of major U.S. companies come from a wide variety of private universities and state universities, not just a handful of well-publicized MBA programs. What does this fact tell you about sources of power and organizational politics

Answers

Answer: Power is earned

Explanation:

The fact that so many influential CEOs come from such a wide array of universities shows that they had to work to get to where they are today and were not simply handed positions because of the university they came from.

It shows that if one wants to succeed in business, their alma mater does not matter. They could be from an Ivy league college or from a state college in Mississippi, what matters is their determination to work hard and gain a good track record that will take them all the way to the top.

what is the primary benefit people receive in exchange for paying premiums to an insurance company

Answers

Answer:

The insurance company will pay for covered expenses

With premium rates from insurance companies, the overall protection is much more guaranteed than a regular, and perhaps the insurance will cover more than regular insurance.

A benefit that people receive in exchange for paying premiums is that insurance company B.will pay for covered expenses.

What is insurance?

The insurance can be regarded as a process of insuring one's property or life in case of danger or any future problems.

The insurance company pays you or someone you choose if something bad happens to you. If you have no insurance and an accident happens, you may be responsible for all related costs.

Therefore, option B is correct because, when people pay their premiums, the company will be available to covered expenses.

b. 4.40
c. 1.80
d. -4.40

E.
-1.70

Answers

Answer:

1.8 option c

this question has a very simple solution

the following definitions

Rit = return for stock i during period t

Rmt = return for the aggregate market during period t

The abnormal rate of return for stock z is = Rit - Rmt

Rit = 9.8

Rmt = 8

9.8 - 8 = 1.8

therefore the abnormal rte of return for stock z is = 1.8, which is option c

At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign landsAfrica, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowlylike some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge!
