Therefore in a situation where a market buy order for 100 shares comes in, it will be filled at the amount of $50.25 which will be the best price reason been that the amount of $50.25 is the lowest amount for the limit sell order when compared with other price listed under the limits sell order.
Identify the number of fims present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model in the following scenario.
In a small town, there are four providers of broadband Internet access: a cable company the phone company, and two satellite companies. The Internet access offered by all four providers is of the same speed. Almost everyone in the city already has broadband, so any potential new company would have to engage in a price war with the existing companies and would be unlikely to cover its costs for years, if ever.
Answer:
No of Firms Present - 4 firms / few firms
Type of Product - Standadized Product
All the companies are offering a standadized product of broadband Internet access of the same speed.
Appropriate Market Model - Oligopoly
An Oligopoly is a concentrated market structure where a few firms dominate the market and offer the same products. Gaining entrance into this type of market is considered hard as the existing firms are already very entrenched and dislodging them will require a huge cash outlay. The Broadband internet market in this town is therefore an Oligopoly.
A machine costs $600000 and is expected to yield an after tax net income of $23000 each year. Managment predicts this machine has a 10 year service life and a $120000 salvage value, and it uses straight line depreciation. Compute this machine's accounting rate of return
Answer:
6.39%
Explanation:
The cost of the machine is $600,000
The net income is $23,000
The management predict a that it has a 10 years service life
The salvage value is $120,000
The first step is to calculate the average investment
Average investment= (Cost of machine+Salvage value)/2
= $600,000+$120,000/2
= $720,000/2
= $360,000
Therefore, the accounting rate of return can be calculated as follows
= Annual net income/Average investment
= $23,000/$360,000
= 0.0639×100
= 6.39%
Hence the accounting rate of return is 6.39%

b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated. For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities. It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities. The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position. It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November. There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.
8 points eBook HintPrintReferences Check my work Check My Work button is now enabledItem 4Item 4 8 points The following information is from Amos Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. Retained earnings at December 31, 2018 (before discovery of error), $852,000. Cash dividends declared and paid during the year, $13,000. Two years ago, it forgot to record depreciation expense of $44,600 (net of tax benefit). The company earned $219,000 in net income this year. Prepare a statement of retained earnings for Amos Company. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
Amos Company
Statement of Retained Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019:
December 31, 2018 balance $852,000
adjustment of error:
Depreciation expense for 2017 -44,600
Adjusted Retained Earnings $807,400
Income for the year 219,000
less Dividends -13,000
Retained Earnings, Dec. 31, 2019 $1,013,400
Explanation:
The depreciation expense of $44,600 would be recorded by deducting it from the beginning retained earnings. This adjusts the balance to reflect the previous year's errors. Then the year's earnings are added before the payment of dividends. The resultant figure is the retained earnings to be carried to the next accounting period.

Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to
Answer:
Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Explanation:
This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:
Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)
Where;
Y = Total Output = $35 billion
C = Desired consumption = $15 billion
G = Government purchases = $10 billion
I = Desired investment = $6 billion
NX = Net foreign lending = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:
$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX
$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX
NX = $4 billion
Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
A stock has a beta of 1.15, the expected return on the market is 10.3 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.8 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be
Answer:
11.28%
Explanation:
A stock has a beta of 1.15
The expected return on the market is 10.3%
The risk-free rate is 3.8%
Therefore, the expected return on the stock can be calculated as follows
Expected return= Risk-free rate+beta(expected return on the market-risk-free rate)
= 3.8%+1.15(10.3%-3.8%)
= 3.8%+(1.15×6.5)
= 3.8%+7.475
= 11.28%
Hence the expected return on the stock is 11.28%

If political influences, independent of any economic forces, lead to a larger government budget deficit, what will be the effect on the loanable funds market
Answer:
The government budget deficit will cause the interest rate to rise, reducing both saving and investment.
Another effect will be the crowding-out of the loanable funds market to private investment. This is because a government in deficit will need to issue more debt in the market, taking up many funds that could have been otherwise invested in private companies.
suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.8 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 4.7 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of bond = €875.09
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond would be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 3.8% × 1,000 = 38
PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- annual yield = 4.7%
n- 23
PV of interest payment= 38 × (1-(1.047^(-23)/0.047 = €527.37
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV = 1,000 × (1.047)^(-23) = €347.717
Step 3
Price of bond
= 527.37+ 347.717 = €875.09
Price of bond = €875.09

King enterprises has an Total Asset Turnover ratio of 5.0, Profit margin of 3%, and a ROE equals to 18%. What is the firm's equity mulitplier (Total Asset/Equity)? Use DuPont Analysis.
Answer: 1.2
Explanation:
The DuPont Analysis is a method of calculating the Return on Equity by using various other ratios. It shows the relatiosnhips between variables in a firm and can help the firm know which areas to target to improve ROE.
Using the DuPont Analysis, the Return on Equity is;
ROE = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier
18% = 3% * 5 * Equity Multiplier
18% = 0.15 * Equity Multiplier
Equity Multiplier = 18%/0.15
Equity Multiplier = 1.2
A small town is served by many competing supermarkets, which all have the same constant marginal cost. Use the black point (plus symbol) to show the competitive price and quantity in this market. Then use the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in the market for groceries, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus.
Answer and Explanation:
From the diagram in the picture (please find attached) we see that the competitive price and quantity lies at the marginal cost( which the producer cannot go below). The consumer surplus lies just below the demand curve(the downward sloping curve with) and the producer surplus is above the marginal cost. Note the producer surplus is the difference between what the supplier is willing to sell and how much he actually sells, the marginal cost is the lowest the supplier would want to sell. This applies to the consumer surplus too
The producer surplus region was indicated with vertical strokes in the diagram attached

Park co is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $26120 and provides expected cash inflows of 8600 annually for four years. Assume park co. requires a 10% return on investments.
What is the net present value of this investment? (PV Of $1. FV of $1, P A of $1, and FVA of $1. Round your present value factor to 4 declmals.)
Answer:
$1140.28
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value of this investment is shown below:-
= Annual Cash flows × Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n) - Initial Investment
as
Annual cash flows = $8600
Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n)
r = 10% and n = 4 years
So, the Present Value of Annuity Factor will be the sum of the present value of 4 years at 10%
For Year 1 = 0.9091
For Year 2 = 0.8264
For Year 3 = 0.7513
For Year 4 = 0.6830
Total = 3.1698
Therefore,
Net Present Value = (Cash inflow × Total) -
Initial Investment
= ($8600 × 3.1698) - $26,120
= $27,260.28 - $26,120
= $1140.28
Robin Masters wants to establish an account that will supplement his retirement income beginning 30 years from now. Find the lump sum he must deposit today at 5%, compounded daily, so that $500,000 will be available when he retires. Round your answer to the nearest penny. Show your work using the fx tool.
Answer:
lump sum = $111,576.54
Explanation:
we can use the future value formula:
future value = principal x (1 + i)ⁿ
future value = $500,000i = 5% / 365 = 0.000136986n = 30 x 365 = 10,950principal = future value / (1 + i)ⁿ
principal = $500,000 / (1 + 0.000136986)¹⁰⁹⁵⁰ = $500,000 / 4.481228688 = $111,576.54
A bond has a standard deviation of 10.7 percent and an average rate of return of 6.4 percent. What is the coefficient of variation (CoV)
Answer:
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67
Explanation:
The coefficient of variation (CoV) is a measure of volatility of an investment. It tells the volatility in comparison with the expected return from the investment. We can say that the CoV tells us the risk per unit of return as CoV is calculated by dividing standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the expected return of the investment.
CoV = SD / r
Where,
SD is the standard deviationr is the expected returnCoV = 0.107 / 0.064
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67
Which of the following is an example of a hidden variable? Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.
Answer:
Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.
Explanation:
Hidden variable: The term "hidden variable" is described as the proposition that specific "statistical models" of any physical systems, for example, Quantum mechanics are being incomplete inherently, and along with this the apparent randomness of a particular system is being dependent not on "collapsing functions" but instead it is due to any unmeasurable or unseen or hidden variables.

The owner of Kat Motel wants to develop a time standard for the task of cleaning a cat cage. In a preliminary study, she observed one of her workers perform this task six times, with the following results:Observation 1 2 3 4 5 6Time (secs) 109 117 117 128 125 129Required:What is the normal time for this task if the employee worked at a 32 percent slower pace than average and an allowance of 14 percent of job time is used?
Answer:
Standard Time = 206.6 secs
Explanation:
In order to calculate the time for this task if the employee worked at a 32 percent slower pace than average, we need to calculate the normal time first by using the following formula
Normal Time = Average element-time / performance rating
Average element time = Sum of observations / No. of observations
Average element time = 109 +117 +117 +128 +125 +129 / 6
Average element time = 725/6 = 120.83
Performance rating = 100 - 32 = 68%
Normal Time = 120.83 / 0.68 = 177.7 secs
Standard Time = Normal Time / (1-Allowance)
Standard Time = 177.7 / (1-0.14)
Standard Time = 206.6 secs

Give one example of how you think the Law of One Price may hold.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The law of one price may hold, when there is eliminatination of price differences through arbitrage opportunities between markets.
For example, considering the value of two currencies e.g Dollar and Pound is equal when a basket of identical goods is priced the same in both countries. This ensures that buyers have the same purchasing power across global markets.
a. Using the starting point formula, what is the price elasticity of demand for going from a price of $160 per unit to a price of $140 per unit
Answer:
Price Elasticity of Demand is -4
Explanation:
We can see the graph and easily calculate the Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.
The starting point formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is given as under:
Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2) / (ΔP / P2)
Here
ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units
ΔP = P1 - P2 = 140 - 160 = - $20
By putting value in the above equation, we have:
Price Elasticity of Demand = (40 Units / 80 Units) / (-$20 / $160)
Price Elasticity of Demand = -4
Price Elasticity of Demand is -4
Calculation of the price elasticity of demand:Since in the graph it is mentioned that Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.
So we know that
Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2) / (ΔP / P2)
where
ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units
ΔP = P1 - P2 = 140 - 160 = - $20
Now
Price Elasticity of Demand
= (40 Units / 80 Units) / (-$20 / $160)
= -4
