e. 4, 2, 3, 1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 4, 2, 1, 3

Explanation:

The investments are listed from least risk to highest risk:

Mortgage bonds: bonds that are backed up or secured by a pool of mortgages.Income bonds: the bond issuer only has the obligation to pay the face value of the bond, coupons are only paid if the company has certain income levelsPreferred stock: bond that guarantees a fixed dividend, and has priority over common bonds in case the company is liquidatedConvertible preferred stock: same as preferred stock only that they can be converted into common stock
Answer 2

Final answer:

From least to most risk, the securities are ranked: mortgage bonds, preferred stock, convertible preferred stock, and income bonds. The correct answer is option (b).

Explanation:

When ranking securities from least to most risk from an investor's standpoint, the correct order is mortgage bonds (4), preferred stock (1), convertible preferred stock (3), and income bonds (2). This order is based on the inherent risk factors of each type of security.

Mortgage bonds are backed by specific assets that serve as collateral, making them less risky. Preferred stocks, while not having the security of collateral, have priority over common stocks in terms of dividends and liquidation proceeds. Convertible preferred stocks bring additional risk due to the option to convert into common stocks, which fluctuate more. Income bonds are risky because their interest payments depend on the issuing company's profitability.

Which of the following could result in the termination and liquidation of a partnership?1) Partners are incompatible and choose to cease operations.2) There are excessive losses that are expected to continue.3) Retirement of a partner.A. 1 onlyB. 1 and 2 onlyC. 2 and 3 onlyD. 3 onlyE. 1, 2, and 3

Answers

Answer:

E) 1, 2, and 3

Explanation:

A partnership is a very flexible business which is very easy to set up but has some disadvantages also and they include:

partners have unlimited liability.- if losses are expected to continue, then the partners will probably decide to liquidate the partnership.risks of disagreements between the partners.- if the partners are incompatible and cannot agree upon the decisions that need to be made, the partnership will probably be liquidatedif the partners decide to leave because they retire then the partnership will probably have to be liquidated unless a new partner replaces the one that leaves or the other partners buy his/her share of the partnership.
Final answer:

All three scenarios mentioned, including partner incompatibility, continued losses, and the retirement of a partner, can lead to the termination and liquidation of a partnership.

Explanation:

The question asks which circumstances could lead to the termination and liquidation of a partnership. Each of the situations presented could indeed result in the end of a partnership. Specifically:

Partners who are incompatible and choose to cease operations may decide to terminate the partnership voluntarily.Excessive losses that are expected to continue could make the continuation of the business untenable, leading to its liquidation.Although less straightforward, the retirement of a partner could lead to a dissolution or reorganization of the partnership, especially if the departing partner is essential to the business or if the partnership agreement stipulates dissolution upon the retirement of any partners.

Therefore, all three scenarios presented could lead to a partnership ending and its business being liquidated.

In the film (around 2:08-2:11) the people in the town of Arcata CA are discussing the role that corporations should play in a democratic society. Some of the people are concerned about the great influence that corporations play in our society, and want to make corporations more accountable to the people. One man who seems opposed to passing legislation that restricts the activities of the corporations suggests that we all have the power to vote with our wallets. He says that if you don't approve of what a corporation does, then you simply should not use its products or services.

Safety stock can be computed when using the fixed-order quantity inventory model by multiplying a "z" value representing the number of standard deviations to achieve a service level or probability by the standard deviation of periodic demand. True or false?

Answers

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The Z value determinates the level of service at a normalize distribution of (0;1) We then convert this value to the deviation of our distribution by multiplying each other.

The Z value represent the the value at which a 99% or 95% or whatever percent of change of safety is achieve. We convert by our deviation to adapt the normalize distribution of (1;0) to our values.

There is always a chance for stock-out as we work with probabilities and at more higher safety level we require more units to make up for the change of a single customer from nowhere purchase an unexpected amount. As this person can appear anytime and purchase any amount there is always a level of uncertain (5% or  1% or less)

The Carolina Christmas Tree Corporation grows and sells 500 Christmas trees. The average cost of production per tree is $50. Each tree sells for a price of $65. The Carolina Christmas Tree Corporation’s total revenues are?

Answers

Answer:

$7500

Explanation:

Cost of production of Carolina Christmas trees were $50 each, and 500 trees were commercialized.  Then, the Corporation invested $25000, and earned $32500 when sales were over.  The revenues were $7500; this comes from deducting $25000 from $32500

Final answer:

The Carolina Christmas Tree Corporation's total revenues are $32,500.

Explanation:

The Carolina Christmas Tree Corporation sells 500 Christmas trees at a price of $65 each.

The average cost of production per tree is $50.

To find the total revenues, we can multiply the number of trees sold by the sale price per tree.

Total Revenues = Number of Trees Sold x Sale Price Per Tree

Total Revenues = 500 trees x $65/tree

= $<<500*65=32500>>32,500

Answers

Answer:

c. will earn zero economic profits but positive accounting profits

Explanation:

A competitive industry is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.

There are no barriers to entry and exit of firms. If firms in a competitive industry earn economic profit in the short run, firms enter into the industry in the long run and economic profit falls to zero.

A competitive firm earns accounting profit but doesn't earn economic profit.

Accounting profit = Revenue - Cost

Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost

Darlene is getting an FHA-insured loan to purchase a house. The purchase price is $278,000, and she’s paying 3.5% down. She will have to pay an upfront mortgage insurance premium of $4,865, which will be financed as part of the loan. What is the loan-to-value on this loan?

Answers

Answer:

96.5%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchase price i.e the value = $278,000

Down payment paid = 3.5%

Upfront mortgage insurance premium = $4,865

Now,

Amount of down payment = 3.5% of loan value

= 0.035 × $278,000

= $9,730

Therefore,

The loan value = value - Amount of down payment

= $278,000 -  $9,730

= $268,270

Thus,

loan-to-value on the loan = [ loan value ÷ value ] × 100%

= [ $268,270 ÷ $278,000 ] × 100%

= 96.5%

A firms total cost function is: TC= 500 + 150q - 20q2 + q3 what is the dollar value at the minimum of the average variable cost (avc) curve? $50?

Answers

Answer:

the  correct answer is $150

Explanation:

TC=500 + 150q - 20q^2 + q^3

AVC=(150Q-20Q^2+Q^3)/Q

       =150-20Q+Q^2

When AVC is at  its minimum means that the marginal cost( CM) is igual to AVC, so we could consider this analysis:

CM= d(TC)/dq =150-40Q+3Q^2

CM=AVC

150-40Q+3Q^2=150-20Q+Q^2

Join similar terms:

150-150-40Q+20Q+3Q^2-Q^2=0

0-20Q+2Q^2=0

Q(-20+2Q)=0

Q_1=0   y  Q_2=20/2=10

with q_1                                               with q_2

150-40*0+3*0=150-20*0+0                 150-40*10+3*10^2=150-20*10+10^2

$150=$150                                                 150-400+300    =150-200+100

                                                                                  $50= $ 50

Let’s look at a company that is currently not paying dividends. You predict that in five years the company will pay a dividend for the first time. The dividend will be $0.50 per share. You expect the dividend to grow at an 8% rate per year indefinitely at that time. The required return on companies like this one is 15%. What is the price of the stock today?
a. $5.39
b. $7.14
c. $4.08
d. $3.45
e. $1.75

Answers

Final answer:

Using the Gordon Growth Model, starting with a future dividend of $0.50 with an 8% growth rate and a 15% required return, when discounted back to present value, the stock today is worth $3.45.

Explanation:

The price of the stock today can be calculated using the Gordon Growth Model formula for a stock that is expected to start paying dividends in the future. The formula PV = D / (k - g) is adjusted for the time value of money to account for the fact that the first dividend will be paid five years from now. In this scenario:

Dividend (D) in five years is $0.50.Constant growth rate (g) is 8% or 0.08.Required return (k) is 15% or 0.15.Price of stock today (PV) is calculated as the present value of the first dividend divided by the difference between the required return and growth rate, then discounted back five years.

Calculation:

Expected dividend after five years (D1) = $0.50
Expected growth rate (g) = 8% = 0.08
Required rate of return (k) = 15% = 0.15
The present value of a perpetuity is D1 / (k - g). First, calculate the price of the stock in year five, which is $0.50 / (0.15 - 0.08) = $7.14. Then, discount this back to the present value using the formula PV = FV / (1 + k)^n, where FV is the future value and n is the number of years.

Price of the stock today [tex](PV) = $7.14 / (1 + 0.15)^5 = $3.45[/tex]

Lena is a sole proprietor. In April of this year, she sold equipment purchased four years ago for $26,000 with an adjusted basis of $15,500 for $17,000. Later in the year, Lena sold another piece of equipment purchased two years ago with an adjusted basis of $8,200 for $5,500. What are the tax consequences of these tax transactions?

Lena has Selecta:
(capital gain, a capital loss, an ordinary gain, an ordinary loss) of $_______ from the sale of the first equipment.
Lena has Selecta:___________.

Answers

Answer:

Lena has a ORDINARY GAIN of $1,500 from the sale of the first equipment. Lena has a ORDINARY LOSS of $2,700 from the sale of the second equipment.

Explanation:

Lena sold the first equipment for $17,000, and that resulted in an ordinary gain = $17,000 - $15,500 = $1,500. This gain was due to a §1245 depreciation recapture.

Lena sold the second equipment for $5,500, and that resulted in an ordinary loss (§1231 loss) = $5,500 - $8,200 = $2,700.

Final answer:

Lena has a capital gain of $1,500 from the sale of the first equipment and a capital loss of $2,700 from the sale of the second equipment. Both transactions involve long-term capital gains and losses since the equipment was owned for more than one year.

Explanation:

Lena, as a sole proprietor, has two separate transactions to report for tax purposes. For the first equipment, she sold it at $17,000 which was purchased for $26,000 with an adjusted basis of $15,500. The tax consequence of this transaction is a capital gain since the selling price ($17,000) is above the adjusted basis ($15,500). Therefore, the capital gain Lena has is $17,000 - $15,500 = $1,500.

For the second piece of equipment, Lena sold it for $5,500 but it had an adjusted basis of $8,200. This transaction resulted in a capital loss, calculated as $8,200 (adjusted basis) - $5,500 (selling price), which equals $2,700.

Since Lena owned both pieces of equipment for more than one year, these are considered long-term capital gains and losses. The net effect on Lena's taxes will depend on reporting the gains and losses on her tax return and her total taxable income will determine the tax rate applicable to the long-term capital gain.
