Market efficiency Financial theorists have identified two different types of efficiency in financial markets. The first, informational efficiency, contributes to the existence and strength of the other, economic efficiency. The degree of informational efficiency exhibited by a market refers to the types of information incorporated into the prices observed in the market and the speed with which prices adjust when new relevant information is released into the market. Markets are said to exhibit one of three levels of informational efficiency: weak-form efficiency, semistrong-form efficiency, or strong-form efficiency. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a number of market participants receiving and analyzing relevant security and market information in search of the most profitable investments. The potential for a security to generate returns is what generates a profitable investment, since these returns result from price increases and decreases that are larger than they should be based on the riskiness of the investment. True or False: The degree of economic efficiency observed in a market is strongly influenced by the degree of informational efficiency that exists in the same market. False True

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Large

2. Abnormal

3. True

Explanation:

1. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a Large number of market participants.

When there is a larger number of participants, this means that there is a large number of people able to acquire and analyse information about securities and the financial markets.

As a result of this, information is more wide ranging and easily available such that they market has very good information efficiency.

2. The potential for a security to generate Abnormal returns is what generates a profitable investment.

When a security is potentially able to generate abnormal returns, there is a chance of making very profitable returns if those returns are higher or lower than estimated. When returns are estimated, these are usually reflected in the market price already because they are expected, when the returns are better or worse than expected though, this means that the prices were wrong therefore giving a chance of a positive gain on the security.

3. True.

Information efficiency is very important in the market. It can mean the difference between the market being manipulated and used for unfair gains and the market being used fairly by all. Information efficiency gives every market player the same Opportunity to find out about a security and act accordingly instead of select people taking advantage of hidden Opportunities.

Answers

Answer:

Effect on income= $34,500 decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 14,900 units

Selling price= $31 per unit

Variable expenses= $25 per unit.

The study shows that $73,000 of the $113,000 in monthly fixed expenses charged to Product X would not be avoidable even if the product was discontinued.

First, we need to calculate the current income of Product X.

Net income= 14,900*(31 - 25) - 113,000= -$38,500

Now, the effect of discontinuing the product.

Effect on income= unavoidable fixed costs - current income

Effect on income= - 73,000 + 38,500

Effect on income= $34,500 decrease

What amount of interest revenue from the lease should Sheridan report in its 2021 income statement

Answers

Answer:

The amount of interest revenue from the lease should Sheridan report in its 2021 income statement is $5,580

Explanation:

According to the given data The first payment will reduce the principle because interest has not started to accrue ,

Therefore= $146,000 - $22,000 = $124,000

The Computation of interest that will be owned for 6 months would be as follows:

Interest revenue for full year = $124,000*9% = $11,160

Therefore, the amount of interest revenue from the lease is = Interest revenue for full year*6/12

amount of interest revenue from the lease = $11,160*6/12 = $5,580 (from july to december)

The amount of interest revenue from the lease should Sheridan report in its 2021 income statement is $5,580

What will the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase?

Answers

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

The company plans on giving out $50 million by repurchasing stock hence, number of stock to be purchased = 50/50 = 1 million

The Number of share bought back = 300-1 = 299

Thus

$20,000 + $1,000 - $6000 = $15,000

$15,000 / 300 shares = $50

                                    Before Repurchase  After the repurchase

Value of operations    20000                          20000

Short-term investments    1000                        950

Less : Debt                    6000                           6000

Intrinsic value of equity    15000                      14950

Number  of shares           300                           299

Intrinsic value per share    50                           50

Therefore the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase is $50

Funds A and B (tied for highest). Fund A. Fund C. Fund B.

Answers

Answer:

The fund with the highest ratio is Fund B.

Explanation:

Risk-free return = 6%

The average return on the market portfolio = 19%

The ratio equation formula is as follows:

FUND A: Return on fund - Risk free rate - Beta (Return on market portfolio -  Risk free rate)/Standard deviation of fund

FUND A : 20 - 6 - 0.8(19 - 6 ) / 4 = 0.9

FUND B : 21 - 6 - 1(13)/1.25 = 1.6

FUND C : 23 -6 - 1.2 (13 ) /1.2 = 1.167

Therefore, the fund with the highest ratio is Fund B.

In business, it is customary to praise individualistic competition and denigrate collective bargaining in all forms. However, in the Hanseatic League, we clearly see an example of merchants working together for mutual success over a period of three hundred years! What lessons are we to learn from this? Are there prospects for more merchant leagues in an increasingly globalized economy? Outline your thoughts on these questions in ten sentences minimum, and post them in the discussion. Then select two fellow students posts for peer review and critique their comments without the use of flattery.

Answers

Answer:

What lessons are we to learn from this?

The Hanseatic league, just like the Northern Italian City-States of the Late Middle Ages, are early examples of capitalism: they represent proto-capitalism.

In the cities that belonged to the Hanseatic League, the work of merchants was promoted, and capital accumulation and the profit motive began to develop. However, this does not meant that cooperation was out of place. The merchants cooperated voluntarily because they could get more working in association.

Are there prospects for more merchant leagues in an increasingly globalized economy?

There will always be the prospect for more merchant leagues, because people naturally cooperate if it is in the benefit of all the parties.

In fact, trade unions and economic unions could be seen as a form of merchant league, that are created by states instead of individual merchants.

A) What is the EOQ?B) What is the average inventory if the EOQ is used?C) What is the optimal number of orders per year?

Answers

Answer:

A) EOQ = 208.56 units

B) Average inventory = 104.28 units

C) Optimum number of order = 28.76 times

Explanation:

Economic order quantity is the order quantity that minimizes the balance of ordering and carrying cost.

Economic order quantity = √2× 29× 6,000/8=208.56 units

Average inventory = Minimum stock level +  Order quantity/2

minimum stock level is not given , hence

Average inventory = 208.56/2 = 104.28 units

Optimum number of order

Optimum number of order = Demand / order quantity

= 6000/208.56= 28.76 times.

EOQ = 208.56 units

B) Average inventory = 104.28 units

C) Optimum number of order = 28.76 times

Judith Thompson, the manager of the student center cafeteria, has added pizza to the menu. The pizza is ordered frozen from a local pizza establishment and baked at the cafeteria. Judith anticipates a weekly demand of 10 pizzas. The cafeteria is open 45 weeks a year, 5 days a week. The ordering cost is $15 and the holding cost is $0.40 per pizza per year. The pizza vendor has a 4-day lead-time and Judith wants to maintain 1 pizza for safety stock. What is the optimal reorder point

Answers

Answer:

9 pizzas

Explanation:

Given that:

A pizza is ordered frozen from a local pizza establishment and baked at the cafeteria.

Judith anticipates a weekly demand of 10 pizzas.

Opening weeks in a year = 45 weeks

Opening days in a week = 5 days

Daily demand =  10/5 = 2

Ordering cost = $15

Holding cost = $0.40 /pizza/year

Lead time = 4 days

Safety stock = 1 pizza

The objective is to determine the optimal reorder point.

The optimal reorder point = (daily demand × lead time) + safety stock

The optimal reorder point =( 2 × 4 ) + 1

The optimal reorder point = 8 + 1

The optimal reorder point = 9 pizzas

Identify the top five recipient countries of FDI from the US. Then Identify top 10 MNEs headquartered in the US that have made outbound FDI elsewhere. Why do theses countries attract FDI from the US? Explain using the resource and the institution based views.

The Netherlands - 866.33 billion dollarsUnited Kingdom - 757.78 billion dollarsLuxembourg - 713.83 billion dollarsIreland - 442.17 billion dollarsCanada - 401.87 billion dollars

Those countries attract FDI from the US either because of low taxes, including low corporate taxes (The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland), or for very close relationships at all levels: cultural, commercial, geographical, and so on (Canada, and the United Kingdom).

From a resource perspective, only Canada is particularly resource-rich, it has large quantities of natural gas, oil, and metals.

The other four countries are not resource-rich, instead, they have institutions that protect property rights, that promote investment, and that do not charge very high taxes.

Future Value (LG5-1) Compute the future value in year 8 of a $4,400 deposit in year 1, and another $3,900 deposit at the end of year 3 using an 10 percent interest rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Future value =_______

Answers

Answer:

Total future value = $15,712.78

Explanation:

Future value is computed using the formula below:

FV = PV × (1+r)^n

FV- Future value, n -number of years, interest rate per annum

First deposit

FV = 4,400× (1.1)^8 = 9,431.79

Second deposit

Note the deposit was made in year 3, by the end of year year 8, then the number of years would be = (8-3) = 5 years

FV = 3,900 × (1.1)^5 = 6,280.98

Total future value  =  9,431.79+ 6,280.98= $15,712.779

Total future value = $15,712.78

James Smith, a health inspector for the state of Missouri, inspected a restaurant owned by Salley Slick. Smith found numerous health violations in the restaurant and fined Slick accordingly. When Smith notified Slick of the infractions, Smith strongly suggested that $5,000 "would sure prove handy in the Spring" when he planned to purchase a new fishing boat. Slick understood Smith's obvious hint and offered Smith $5,000 if he would lose the paperwork concerning the failure of the restaurant to meet proper inspection guidelines. Smith accepted the $5,000 and lost the paperwork. One month later, Smith returned to the restaurant and told Slick that he would reappear every month and find violations unless Slick produced $1,000 each month to go toward the purchase of a fleet for Smith. Slick agreed to make the $1,000 payments. What crimes have been committed by Smith and Slick?

Answers

Answer:

Smith is guilty of Bribery and corruption While slick is guilty of breaking health code and trying to bribe a public officer.

Explanation:

Bribery has occurred because Smith's judgment has been paid for/influenced through the $5000 he has received from Slick. Money he plans to use on a boat. Smith has solicitated a bribe and is guilty of bribery. Since he sought for the bribe, he has committed a crime of bribery solicitation. After receiving the money, he committed the crime of accepting a bribe. When additional sums of money were requested, Smith further committed the crime of extortion and blackmail. He has been shown to be greedy.

Slick is guilty of trying to bribe a public official to escape the payment of fines and also guilty of violating health codes.

Answers

Answer:

D) Agency costs involve costs that are incurred from managers pursuing their own interests at the expense of shareholder value and costs that are incurred by shareholders to make sure that managers pursue shareholder value.

Explanation:

Due to the fact that most public companies are not managed by owners but by managers, agency cost arises.

Agency cost arises when the manager pursues her own interest to the detriment of the owners.

In order to mitigate against agency costs , owners put certain mechanisms in place to limit these costs. Some of these mechanisms include increased monitoring and employment contracts

Ayayai Corp. has 320,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. It declares a 14% stock dividend on December 1 when the market price per share is $17. The dividend shares are issued on December 31. Prepare the entries for the declaration and distribution of the stock dividend.

Answers

Answer:

320,000 stocks with $10 par value

14% stock dividend (small stock dividend ≤ 20%)

so we will use the market price of the stocks = $17 x 320,000 x 14% = $761,600 total distribution

320,00 x 14% = 44,800 stocks x $10 par value = $448,000

the additional paid in capital = $761,600 - $448,000 = $313,600

In contrast to expected utility​ theory, prospect​ theory: A. weights outcomes based on their true​ probabilities, while expected utility uses a subjective weighting function. B. assumes people only care about their level of wealth instead of expected utility. C. allows people to treat gains and losses asymmetrically. D. decision makers are more sensitive to a given change in the outcome for large gains or losses than for small ones.

Answers

Answer: C. allows people to treat gains and losses asymmetrically.

Explanation:

According to the Prospect Theory, people generally are very averse to losses. For this reason they will always pick the option that gives them.gains as opposed to losses even if the result is the same. This means that they ascribe greater utility towards gains than losses meaning that they treat them asymptomatically.

For example, two options could be put to you. One makes you $10 and the other makes you $20 but you will lose $10. The result is the same but according to this theory you will pick the first option because gains are favoured to losses.

Expected Utility on the other hand involves people picking options and not knowing what the outcome will be so they cannot treat loss or gain asymmetrically. This is in contrast to the Prospect theory as because they know what might happen, they are able to pick gains.

Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below: Alpha Beta Direct materials $ 30 $ 18 Direct labor 23 16 Variable manufacturing overhead 10 8 Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 19 21 Variable selling expenses 15 11 Common fixed expenses 18 13 Total cost per unit $ 115 $ 87 The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars. 6. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 93,000 Betas per year. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Beta product line

Answers

Answer:

financial disadvantage = ($1,953,000)

Explanation:

Alpha selling price $135 per unit

Beta selling price $95 per unit

raw materials = $6 per pound

production capacity 105,000 of each product

                                                                         Alpha              Beta

Direct materials                                                $30                 $18

Direct labor                                                       $23                 $16

Variable manufacturing overhead                  $10                   $8

Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead      $19                 $21

Variable selling expenses                               $15                  $11

Common fixed expenses                                $18                  $13

Total cost per unit                                           $115                $87

margin per unit                                                $20                  $8

93,000 Betas produced per year:

total revenue                      $8,835,000

COGS                                ($5,859,000)

Gross profit                        $2,976,000

Variable selling expense ($1,023,000)

Fixed common expenses ($1,209,000)

net profit                               $744,000

if the Beta product line is discontinued:

lost net profits                        ($744,000)

fixed common expenses    ($1,209,000)

financial disadvantage        ($1,953,000)

If the company decides to shut down the production of Betas, then it will lose $1,953,000. This includes lost profits generated by the product and unavoidable fixed costs which must be allocated to Alphas.

ou currently own 10 percent of the 3.0 million outstanding shares of Webster Mills. The company has just announced a rights offering with a subscription price of $40. One right will be issued for each share of outstanding stock. This offering will provide $12 million of new financing for the firm, ignoring all issue costs. Assume that all rights are exercised. What will be your new ownership position if you opted to sell your rights rather than exercise them personally

Answers

Answer: 9.09% ownership

Explanation:

Your current ownership of the shares in Webster Mills is 10% of 3 million.

That means that you own,

= 10% * 3 million

= 300,000 shares.

The new offering that the company is doing equates one right to each share of existing stock and is expected to raise $12 million in new financing at a cost of $40. The goal is to find out how many new shares this will add.

= 12,000,000/40

= 300,000 shares

This means that 300,000 new shares will be added.

There are already 3,000,000 shares outstanding and now there are 300,00 extra which would bring the total to,

= 3,000,000 + 300,000

= 3,300,000 outstanding shares.

Since you sold your rights then you still have shares but now your percentage of ownership will change because of the increase in outstanding shares.

Your ownership percentage is now,

= 300,000 shares (that you own) / 3,300,000 (new outstanding balance)

= 0.0909

= 9.09%

Your new ownership position is that you own 9.09% of Webster Mills.

The new ownership position if you opted to sell your rights rather than exercise them personally is 9.09% of 3.3 Million shares.

The calculation is as follows:

New shares Issued is

= Proceeds ÷ Subscription price

= $12 M ÷ $40

= 300,000

Now

New Composition = No. of shares held ÷ Total shares after issuance

= 300,000 ÷ 3,300,000

= 0.0909

= 9.09%

Therefore we can conclude that The new ownership position if you opted to sell your rights rather than exercise them personally is 9.09% of 3.3 Million shares.

Calculate the five profitability ratios listed above for Adrian Express
(Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Profitability Ratios Gross profit ratio Return on assets Profit margin Asset turnover Return on equity

Answers

Answer:

The Gross profit ratio is 36.6%

The Return on assets is 20%

The Profit margin is 8.8%

The Asset turnover would be 2.3 times

The Return on equity is 40.4%

Explanation:

The calculation of the five profitability ratios listed would be a follows:

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold

= $19,310,000 - $12,250,000

= $7,060,000

Gross profit ratio = Gross profit / Sales * 100

= $7,060,000 / $19,310,000 * 100

= 36.6%

The Gross profit ratio is 36.6%

Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets * 100

= $1,700,000 / [($9,200,000+$7,800,000)/2] * 100

= 20%

The Return on assets would be 20%

Profit margin = Net profit / Sales * 100

= $1,700,000 / $19,310,000 * 100

= 8.8%

The Profit margin would be 8.8%

Asset turnover = Sales / Average total assets

= $19,310,000 / [($9,200,000+$7,800,000)/2]

= 2.3 times

The Asset turnover would be 2.3 times

Return on equity = Net income / Average total equity

= $1,700,000 / [($1,900,000+$2,980,000+$1,900,000+$1,640,000)/2]

= 40.4%

The Return on equity would be 40.4%

Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 221,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 169,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $114 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 26,000 tires for $93.6 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
Required:
A. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.

Marissa gives Larry a check made payable to cash in payment for a
computer that she is buying from him. Larry then gives the check to his
nephew, Gary Graduate, without indorsing it, as a graduation gift. Marissa
then stops payment on the check because she claims that Larry breached the
contract. When the check bounces, Gary makes a claim against Marissa for
the amount of the check. Marissa responds that Gary cannot collect on the
check since he is not a holder because Larry never indorsed the check to
him. Which statement is true?

1.Gary is at least a holder
2.Gary is not a holder or holder in due course because the check was never indorsed
3.Gary is not a holder or holder in due course because of the shelter principal
4.Gary is not a holder or holder in due clause because Larry breached the contract

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option 2: Gary is not a holder or holder in due course becuase the check was never indorsed.

Explanation:

To begin with, the field of law and more in particular the commercial law and all its scenarios, any check that has been passing through hands must be indorsed in order to be able to be payable to the person who has it the last, in any other case if the check is not indorsed then that means by law that the check has never changed its owner and therefore that it can not be payable for anybody else. That is why, Gary is not a holder because his uncle did not indorsed him the check correctly.
