Answer:
(C) Asset Y, since its coefficient of variation is lower and its expected return is higher
Explanation:
Given the various probabilities (P) and returns (R) for Asset X and Asset Y, their expected return is computed as follows.
Asset X = [tex]Summation(P_{r} *R_{x} )[/tex]
= (0.1*-3%) + (0.1*2%) + (0.25*5%) + (0.25*8%) + (0.3*10%)
Expected return (Asset X) = 6.15%
Asset Y = [tex]Summation(P_{r} *R_{y} )[/tex]
= (0.05*-3%) + (0.1*2%) + (0.3*5%) + (0.3*8%) + (0.25*10%)
Expected return (Asset Y) = 6.45%.
Due to its higher expected return, Asset Y should be preferred.
The answer is option C because it contained a statement that Asset Y has a higher expected return.
Option (B) is wrong because we are not certain if Asset Y has a lower beta. We were not given any information to compute the beta.
Options (A), (D) and (E) are wrong because they did not specify Asset Y has the preferred asset.

The process is called a "Cancel-Rebill" record. The branch manager or compliance officer in charge must be made aware of the reasons for the change and must tender an approval for the change in writing. This said record must be developed for any change of account designation - even for something as little as moving a trade from a customer's cash account to the same customer's IRA account.
Gray is a 50% partner in Fabco Partnership. Gray's tax basis in Fabco on January 1, year 4, was $5,000. Fabco made no distributions to the partners during year 4 and recorded the following: Ordinary income $20,000 Tax-exempt income 8,000 Portfolio income 4,000 What is Gray's tax basis in Fabco on December 31, year 4?
Answer:
$21000
Explanation:
To determine Gray’s tax basis for a 50% interest in the Fabco Partnership, The interest is increased by the partner’s distributive share of all partnership items of income and decreased by the partner’s distributive share of all loss and deduction items.
Gray’s beginning basis = $5,000
Gray’s 50% distributive share of ordinary income = 50% × $20000 = $10000
Gray’s 50% tax-exempt income= 50% × $8000 = $4,000 and
portfolio income = 50% × $4000 = $2,000
Therefore, the ending basis of Gray’s Fabco partnership interest = $5000 + $10000 + $4000 + $2000 = $21000
The current controllable margin for Henry Division is $138000. Its current operating assets are $300000. The division is considering purchasing equipment for $90000 that will increase annual controllable margin by an estimated $5000. If the equipment is purchased, what will happen to the return on investment for Henry Division
Answer:
The correct answer is Decrease ROI by 9.33%.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
First we calculate return on investment before purchase:
Return on investment = (Controllable Margin ÷ Operating assets ) × 100
= ($138,000 ÷ $300,000) × 100
= 46%
Controllable margin (New) = $138,000 + $5,000 = $143,000
Operating assets = $300,000 + $90,000 = $390,000
Return on investment (New) = ($143,000 ÷ $390,000) × 100
= 36.67%
So, change in ROI = 36.67 % - 46%
= - 9.33% ( Negative shows decrease )
Hence, Decrease ROI by 9.33%.

To prepare a statement of retained earnings, start with the opening balance then adjust it for the net income or loss during the year and any dividends declared. Create the statement in three steps: sum up the revenue and expenses to determine net income, and then subtract any dividends from this.
Explanation:To create a statement of retained earnings for Mountain Sports Inc., we need to consider the opening balance in the retained earnings account, then adjust this for the net income or loss during the year and any dividends paid out.
Start with the retained earnings at the beginning of the year, which is $21,300. Then, determine the net income. The net income is calculated as sales of $226,500 minus expenses (cost of goods sold of $109,000, depreciation expense on office equipment of $2,600, insurance expense of $830, rent expense of $5,800, utilities expense of $4,050, office supplies expense of $470, and salaries expense of $87,620) and the income tax expense of $7,990. Sierra sales returns and allowances of $1,900 will also be subtracted from sales.
The final step is to subtract dividends declared of $4,400 to arrive at the retained earnings at year-end.

The sales budget for the first four months of the year is as follows: Unit Sales Dollar Sales ($) January 80,000 176,000 February 50,000 110,000 March 40,000 88,000 April 46,000 101,200 Company policy requires that ending inventories for each month be 25% of next month's sales. At the beginning of January, the inventory of peanut butter is 33,000 jars. Each jar of peanut butter needs two raw materials: 24 ounces of peanuts and one jar. Company policy requires that ending inventories of raw materials for each month be 20% of the next month's production needs. That policy was met on January 1. Required: 1. Prepare a production budget for the first quarter of the year. Show the number of jars that should be produced each month as well as for the quarter in total.
Answer:
Explanation:
Sales budget

February 110,000 50,000
March 88,000 40,000
April 101,200 46,000
Ending inventory = 25% of next month sales
Ending inventory in December = 25% of next month sales.
Opening inventory in January = 33,000 units
January (80000-33000)+25% *50000 = 59,500 units
February = (50000 -12500) + 25%*40000 = 47,500 units
March = (40,000-10,000) +25%*46,000 = 41,500 units
April =46000-11,500= 34,500 units

Company policy for production requires that ending inventory is 20% of next month production
Peanut production
January 1428000 + (20%* 1140000) = 1,656,000
February = (1140000-228000) + (20%*996,000) = 1,111,200
March = (996,000-199,200 ) + (20% * 828,000) =962,400
April 828,000- 165,500 = 662,400

The production budget for Peanut Land Inc. for the first quarter requires producing 59,500 jars in January, 47,500 jars in February, and 41,500 jars in March, totaling 148,500 jars for the quarter.
Production Budget Calculation
To prepare a production budget for Peanut Land Inc., we'll need to calculate the required production to meet sales demands while maintaining the company's inventory policy. The policy states that ending inventory should be 25% of the next month's sales. The production budget can be calculated by adding the budgeted sales in units for each month to the desired ending inventory and then subtracting the beginning inventory.
For January, the company has an initial inventory of 33,000 jars and a sales forecast of 80,000 jars. February's sales forecast is 50,000 jars, meaning January's ending inventory must be 25% of this, which is 12,500 jars. Hence, January's required production is 80,000 (sales) + 12,500 (ending inventory) - 33,000 (beginning inventory) = 59,500 jars.
For February, the beginning inventory is January's ending inventory (12,500 jars). With a sales forecast of 50,000 jars and March's sales forecast at 40,000 jars, February's ending inventory should be 25% of March's sales, which is 10,000 jars. Therefore, production for February is 50,000 (sales) + 10,000 (ending inventory) - 12,500 (beginning inventory) = 47,500 jars.
For March, we use February's ending inventory as the starting inventory (10,000 jars). With sales forecasted at 40,000 jars, and April's sales at 46,000 jars, March's ending inventory should be 25% of April's sales, which is 11,500 jars. Thus, March's production is 40,000 (sales) + 11,500 (ending inventory) - 10,000 (beginning inventory) = 41,500 jars.
The total production for the first quarter is the sum of each month's production: 59,500 (January) + 47,500 (February) + 41,500 (March) = 148,500 jars.
The common stock of the C.A.L.L. Corporation has been trading in a narrow range around $50 per share for months, and you believe it is going to stay in that range for the next three months. The price of a 3-month put option with an exercise price of $50 is $4. a. If the risk-free interest rate is 10% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock at an exercise price of $50 if it is at the money
Answer:
Price of call option = $5.1772
Explanation:
given data
trading x = $50 per share
Current price So = $95
time = 3 month t = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] year
exercise price of $50, P = $4
risk-free interest rate r = 10%
solution
we use here formula from put-call parity for price of a 3-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock that is
Price of call option = P + So - \frac{x}{(1+r)^t} .....................1
put here value and we will get
Price of call option = $4 + $50 - \frac{50}{(1+0.10)^{1/4}}
Price of call option = $5.1772
The dollar-value LIFO method was adopted by Blue Corp. on January 1, 2020. Its inventory on that date was $390,700. On December 31, 2020, the inventory at prices existing on that date amounted to $369,600. The price level at January 1, 2020, was 100, and the price level at December 31, 2020, was 112.
Final answer:
The question involves applying the dollar-value LIFO inventory method to adjust the year-end inventory for inflation, ensuring accurate valuation. It requires calculating the adjusted value of inventory considering changes in price levels to determine real changes in inventory quantity. Additionally, accounting profit is mentioned as a basic calculation of revenue minus expenses.
Explanation:
The question asks about the dollar-value LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method, a technique used in accounting to value inventory and measure changes in the cost of products due to inflation. Under this method, a company measures and reports changes in the value of its inventory considering the price level changes. The inventory value at the beginning is given as $390,700 with a price level index of 100. By the end of the year, the inventory value is reported as $369,600 with a price level index of 112. To adjust the ending inventory to compare it fairly with the beginning inventory, we must account for the inflation using the given price indices. This involves converting the ending inventory value to the base year's price level.
To do this, we calculate the inflation-adjusted inventory value by dividing the December 31, 2020, inventory value by the price level index for that date (112) and then multiplying by the base price level index (100). This calculation adjusts the inventory value to reflect what it would have been in the base year, allowing a fair comparison to determine whether there has been a real increase or decrease in inventory quantity. Using this method ensures that the inventory valuation is not inflated merely due to increased prices, thereby providing a more accurate measure of inventory levels for financial reporting and analysis.
Accounting profit is another important concept in business, often calculated as sales revenue minus expenses. For instance, if a firm had sales revenue of $1 million and spent $600,000 on labor, $150,000 on capital, and $200,000 on materials, the firm's accounting profit would be $50,000, which is the remaining amount after subtracting total expenses from sales revenue.
Given the following information, formulate an inventory management system. The item is demanded 50 weeks a year. Item cost $ 8.00 Standard deviation of weekly demand 20 per week Order cost $ 207.00 Lead time 3 week(s) Annual holding cost (%) 24 % of item cost Service probability 99 % Annual demand 27,400 Average demand 548 per week a. Determine the order quantity and reorder point.
Answer:
Order quantity = 478units
Reorder point = 420 per week
Explanation:
Given
Item cost =$8
Standard deviation of weekly demand = 20 per week
Order cost(C) = $207
Lead time = 3 weeks
Annual holding cost (H) = 24% of item cost
Service probability = 99%
Annual demand(D) = 27,400
Average demand = 548 per week
Order quantity = sqrt[(2 × D × C) ÷ H]
Order quantity = sqrt[(2 × 27400 × 207) ÷ (0.24 × 207)]
sqrt[ 11343600 ÷ 49.68]
= 477.84
Order quantity = 478 units
Reorder Point = Lead time × daily usage
21 × 20 = 420

Obj. 2Waylander Coatings Company purchased waterproofing equipment on January 6 for $320,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful life 3 years or of four years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $35,000. The equipment was used for 7,200 hours during Year 1, 6,400 hours in Year 2, 4,400 hours in Year 3, and 2,000 hours in Year 4. Instructions Show Me Now Excel Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (A) the straight-line method, (B) the units-of-activity method, and (C) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the four years by each method. The following columnar headings are suggested for recording the depreciation expense amounts:
Answer:
Depreciation expense for Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Method: Straight-line $71,250 $71,250 $71,250 $71,250
unit-of-production $102,600 $91,200 $62,700 $28,500
Double-declining $160,000 $80,000 $40,000 $20,000
Total depreciation for the four years under:
straight-line is $285,000unit-of-production is $285,000double-declining is $300,000Explanation:
(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($320,000 - $35,000) / 4 years = $71,250 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years is $71,250 x 4 years $285,000.
The net book value (NBV) of the asset (cost - accumulated depreciation) is at the end of Year 4: $320,000 - $285,000 = $35,000.
(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:
(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year
At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($320,000 - $35,000) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,200 hours = $102,600/year
At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($320,000 - $35,000) / 20,000 operating hours x 6,400 hours = $91,200/year
At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($320,000 - $35,000) / 20,000 operating hours x 4,400 hours = $62,700/year
At Year 4, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($320,000 - $35,000) / 20,000 operating hours x 2,000 hours = $28,500/year
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years is $102,600 + $91,200 + $62,700 + $28,500 = $285,000.
Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.
The NBV under this method is is: $320,000 - $285,000 = $35,000.
(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:
Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV
SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage
BV = Book value
SLDP is 100%/4 years = 25%, then 25% multiplied by 2 to give 50%
At Year 1, 50% X $320,000 = $160,000
At Year 2, 50% X $160,000 ($320,000 - $160,000) = $80,000
At Year 3, 50% X $80,000 ($160,000 - $80,000) = $40,000
At Year 4, 50% X $40,000 ($80,000 - $40,000) = $20,000
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years is $160,000 + $80,000 + $40,000 + $20,000 = $300,000.
The NBV under this method is is: $320,000 - $300,000 = $20,000.
Niles Company granted 111 million of its no par common shares to executives, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years. The common shares have a market price of $22 per share on January 1, 2020, the grant date of the restricted stock award. When calculating diluted EPS at December 31, 2021, what will be the net increase in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the market price of the common shares averaged $22 per share during 2021?
Answer:
Net increase in the denominator will be equal to the new shares which Niles will issued to their executives.
Thus, increase in the denominator = 111 million
The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions: 1. There must be many buyers and sellers—a few players can't dominate the market. 2. Firms must produce an identical product—buyers must regard all sellers' products as equivalent. 3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing free entry into and exit from the industry.
Answer:
A Perfectly competitive market
Explanation:
To answer the question above, the model of competitive market is called A Perfectly competitive market.
A perfectly competitive market is a hypothetical market where competition is at it's greatest possible level. Neo-classical economist argued that perfect competition would produce the best possible outcomes for consumers, and society.
An industry structure in which there are many firms, none large enough to influence the industry, producing homogeneous products. Firms are price takers. There are no barriers to entry . Agriculture comes close to being perfectly competitive.
Assume the supply curve for cigars is a typical, upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve for cigars is a typical, downward-sloping straight line. Suppose the equilibrium quantity in the market for cigars is 1,000 per month when there is no tax. Then a tax of $0.50 per cigar is imposed. The effective price paid by buyers increases from $1.50 to $1.90 and the effective price received by sellers falls from $1.50 to $1.40. The government's tax revenue amounts to $475 per month. Which of the following statements is correct? O The deadweight loss of the tax is $12.50. The demand for cigars is less elastic than the supply of cigars.O The tax causes a decrease in consumer surplus of $390 and a decrease in producer surplus of $97.50. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
The correct answer is The deadweight loss of the tax is $12.50.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
First we calculate the quantity sold after tax
So, Quantity sold after tax = Tax revenue ÷ Tax
Quantity sold after tax= $475 ÷ 0.50
= 950 units
Equilibrium quantity before tax = 1,000 units.
After tax, the price to buyers increases from 1.50 to 1.90
And, the price which sellers receive decrease from 1.50 to 1.40.
So, we can calculate the dead weight loss by using following formula:
Dead weight loss= 1/2 × Change to buyers × Change to sellers
=0.5 × (1.90 - 1.40)×( $1000 - $950)
=0.5 × 0.50 × $50
=$12.50
The correct statement is that the deadweight loss of the tax is $12.50 and that the demand for cigars is less elastic than the supply of cigars.
Explanation:The correct statement is that the deadweight loss of the tax is $12.50 and that the demand for cigars is less elastic than the supply of cigars.
When a tax of $0.50 per cigar is imposed, the effective price paid by buyers increases from $1.50 to $1.90, while the effective price received by sellers falls from $1.50 to $1.40. The tax revenue is $475 per month. The deadweight loss of the tax is the difference between the quantity sold in the absence of the tax and the actual quantity sold after the tax is imposed, multiplied by the difference in the price received by sellers and the price paid by buyers. In this case, the deadweight loss is equivalent to (1,000 - 475) x (1.50 - 1.40) = $12.50.
In addition, the demand for cigars is less elastic than the supply because the increase in price for buyers is greater than the decrease in price for sellers. This means that buyers are less responsive to the change in price compared to sellers. The demand curve is steeper than the supply curve, indicating a less elastic demand.

Explanation:
Computations
Job costs added to Work in Process inventory for October
Direct materials $ 4,000
Direct labor $ 7,500
Overhead at 100 % of Direct Labor costs $ 7,500
Total job costs added in October $ 19,000
Final answer:
In October, job A3B had $4,000 in direct materials, $7,500 in direct labor, and $7,500 in overhead costs added to the Work in Process Inventory, totaling $19,000.
Explanation:
The job costs added to Work in Process Inventory during October for job A3B would include the additional direct materials and direct labor costs incurred in October, as well as the overhead applied based on the direct labor cost.
Since the company applies overhead at a rate of 100% of the direct labor cost, and the direct labor cost in October is $7,500, the overhead for October would also be $7,500.
Therefore, the total job costs added in October would be the sum of the additional direct materials of $4,000, the additional direct labor of $7,500, and the overhead of $7,500, resulting in a total of $19,000 added to the Work in Process Inventory.

The weighted average cost of capital is ________. A. the cost of capital for the firm as a whole B. made up of three financing components: the cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, and the cost of equity C. the average of the cost of each financing component, weighted by the proportion of each component D. All of the above
Answer:
The answer is D. All of the above
Explanation:
The Capital structure of most companies comprise equity, debt and/or preference shares. All these that made up capital structure has cost or let's say return. We have cost of capital, cost of debt, cost of preference shares.
Therefore, weighted average cost of capital is average of the cost of each financing component(cost of capital, cost of debt and cost of preference shares), weighted by the proportion of each component
All the options relates to the weighted average cost of capital(WACC).
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) encompasses the cost of capital for the entire firm, including the cost of debt, equity, and preferred stock, weighted by their proportions in the total capital.
Explanation:The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is D. All of the above. It is the cost of capital for the firm as a whole, made up of three financing components: the cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, and the cost of equity. Additionally, it is the average of the cost of each financing component, weighted by the proportion of each component in the overall capital structure. WACC is a crucial metric for firms as it represents the minimum return that a company must earn on its existing asset base to satisfy its creditors, owners, and other providers of capital, or they will invest elsewhere.

$875,000 fixed and $841,750 variable.
$796,250 fixed and $925,000 variable.
$925,000 fixed and $796,250 variable.
$925,000 fixed and $841,750 variable.
$875,000 fixed and $796,250 variable.
Answer:
Total variable cost= $796,250
Total fixed costs= $925,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Based on predicted production of 37,000 units, a company anticipates $925,000 of fixed costs and $841,750 of variable costs.
The fixed costs does not vary to production, therefore, they will remain the same in the relevant range.
We need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 841,750/37,000= $22.75
Now, we can calculate the total variable cost for 35,000 units
Total variable cost= 22.75*35,000= $796,250
Total fixed costs= $925,000
Tasty Subs acquired a delivery truck on October 1, 2021, for $18,500. The company estimates a residual value of $1,700 and a six-year service life. It expects to drive the truck 140,000 miles. Actual mileage was 4,400 miles in 2021 and 17,800 miles in 2022. Required: Calculate depreciation expense using the activity-based method for 2021 and 2022, assuming a December 31 year-end. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
2021 Depreciation expense is $528
2022 Depreciation expense is $2,136
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.
It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset .
Depreciable value = $18,500 - $1,700
= $16,800
Depreciation expense using the activity-based method for
2021
= 4,400/140,000 * $16,800
= $528
2022
= 17,800/140,000 * $16,800
= $2,136
The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $1.72 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $33 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
9.21%
Explanation:
To calculate this, we use the formula for the dividend discount model as follows:
P = D/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = current stock price = $33
D = Next dividend = $1.72
r = required return = ?
g = growth rate = 4% = 0.04
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for r, we have:
33 = 1.72/(r - 0.04)
33(r - 0.04) = 1.72
33r - 1.32 = 1.72
33r = 1.72 + 1.32
33r = 3.04
r = 3.04/33
r = 0.0921, or 9.21%
At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 30,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $38,650, consisted of $32,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 125,000 units and transferred 135,000 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $282,240 of materials costs and $544,700 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 20,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials and 15% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the costs per equivalent unit of materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.20 per unit
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $4 unit
Explanation:
The computation of Cost per equivalent unit of material, Cost per equivalent unit of conversion is shown below:-
For computing the cost per equivalent first we need to find the equivalent unit of material which is below:-
= Transferred units + ( Department units × Material percentage)
= 135,000 + (20,000 × 40%)
= 135,000 + 8,000
= 143,000
So, the Cost per equivalent unit of material = (Beginning material cost + Current month material cost) ÷ Equivalent unit of material
= ($32,400 + $282,240) ÷ 143,000
= $314,640 ÷ 143,000
= $2.20 per unit
Now, For computing the Cost per equivalent unit of conversion first we need to find the equivalent unit of conversion cost which is below:-
= Transferred units + ( Department units × Conversion percentage)
= 135,000 + (20,000 × 15%)
= 135,000 + 3,000
= 138,000
So, the Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (Beginning conversion cost + Current month conversion cost) ÷ Equivalent unit of conversion cost
= ($6,250 + $544,700) ÷ 138,000
= $550,950 ÷ 138,000
= 3.99
or $4 unit

Full question:
On September 1, 2011, Revsine Co. approved a plan to dispose of a segment of its business. Revsine expected that the sale would occur on March 31, 2012, at an estimated gain of $375,000. The segment had actual and estimated operating profits (losses) as follows:
Realized loss from 1/1/11 to 8/31/11 $(300,000)
Realized loss from 9/1/11 to 12/31/11 (200,000)
Expected profit from 1/1/12 to 3/30/12 400,000
Assume that the marginal tax rate is 30%
In its 2011 income statement, what should Revsine report as profit or loss from discontinued operations (net of tax effects)?
Answers:
Under, results of operations on an operating segment or component of an entity classified as held for sale are to be reported in discontinued operations in the periods in which they occur (net of tax effects). For Revsine, the loss from operations for the discontinued segment would be $375,000 determined as follows:
Loss from 1/1/11 to 8/31/11 ($300,000)
Loss from 9/1/11 to 12/31/11 ($200,000)
Total pre-tax loss ($500,000)
Tax benefit at 30% 150,000
Operating loss, net of tax effects ($375,000)
None of the expected profit from operating the segment or component for Revsine in 2012 or the estimated gain on sale is recognized in 2011. These amounts will be recognized in 2012 as they occur.

One result of asymmetric information about people's ability to repay a loan is that: a bank could make many loans to people who don't pay them back. lenders are better off than with perfect information. banks will not make loans. loans will only be made to people who don't pay them back.
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Asymmetric information refers to the situation in which one of two parties involved in the transaction having more information than the other party.
It is evident that an asymmetric information is associated with all types of economic transaction. It is mostly associated with the insurance industry and banking industry.
In our case, banks have less information about the borrower's loan repaying capability and could make many loans to the people who will be the defaulters.
There are two problems arises from the asymmetric information:
(i) Moral hazard
(ii) Adverse selection
