Answer:
sales are becoming less seasonal
Explanation:
besides constructing a pie chart, we can also answer this question by percentages (which is more exact).
2012:
total sales = $69,338
Q1 sales = $10,613 / $69,338 = 15.31%
Q2 sales = $6,424 / $69,338 = 9.26%
Q3 sales = $19,283 / $69,338 = 27.81%
Q4 sales = $33,019 / $69,338 = 47.68%
2013:
total sales = $142,238
Q1 sales = $30,342 / $142,238 = 21.33%
Q2 sales = $33,867 / $142,238 = 23.81%
Q3 sales = $34,246 / $142,238 = 24.08%
Q4 sales = $43,783 / $142,238 = 30.78%
During 2012, almost 50% of total sales happened during Q4, something similar to selling toys which are extremely seasonal due to Christmas.
During 2013, this changed since Q4 sales only represent 30% of total sales. Sales increased during Q1 and Q2, and slightly decreased in Q3. They are much more similar now, since sales are almost evenly spread throughout the year.
The average duration of unemployment is _________. Multiple Choice both a coincidental indicator and a lagging indicator a lagging economic indicator a coincidental economic indicator a leading economic indicator
Answer:
lagging economic indicator
Explanation:
The average amount of time it takes for an unemployed person to find a new job is a scenario of lagging economic indicator, the Employment rate is usually one of the last things work in in an economy that is about or entering a period of expansion. Sackings or Layoffs of staff are one of the last resorts for companies when the economy turns down.
Another way is due to fact that businesses wait until companiestokk lay off, and wait until recoveries look secure to rehire, this part is necessary as it lags the cycle on both the way down and the way up
Hassock Corp. produces woven wall hangings. It takes 3 hours of direct labor to produce a single wall hanging. Hassock standard labor cost is $13 per hour. During August, Hassock produced 9,000 units and used 27,160 hours of direct labor at a total cost of $323,220. What is Hassocks labor efficiency variance for August?
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,080 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard= 3 hours of direct labor per unit
The standard labor cost is $13 per hour.
During August, Hassock produced 9,000 units and used 27,160 hours
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3*9,000 - 27,160)*13
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,080 unfavorable
g Stock A has a beta of 1.5. Stock B has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 12 percent. If the risk-free rate is 2 percent and both stocks have equal reward-to-risk ratios, what is the expected return on stock A
Answer:
14.5%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on stock A is shown below:
Given that
The expected return of stock b = 12%
beta = 1.2
Now
risk free rate = 2% market risk premium
So as per CAPM, the expected return = risk free rate + beta × market risk premium
0.12 = 0.02 + 1.2 × market risk premium
1.2 × market risk premium = 0.10
So,
market risk premium is
= 0.10 ÷ 1.2
= 0.0833 or 8.33%
Since they have equal risk reward so the market risk premium would be same for stock A
Now
The expected return of stock A is
= 2% + (1.5 × 8.33)
= 14.5%

Zwick Company bought 25,500 shares of the voting common stock of Handy Corporation in January 2021. In December, Handy announced $202,700 net income for 2021 and declared and paid a cash dividend of $3.00 per share on all 202,500 shares of its outstanding common stock. Zwick Company's dividend revenue from Handy Corporation in December 2021 would be:
Answer:
$76,500
Explanation:
Zwick Company owns 25,500 shares of Handy Corporation, which represents 25,500 / 202,500 = 12.59% of all common stocks. Since Zwick influence over Handy is not significant, all dividends received will be directly considered dividend revenue.
total dividends received = $3 per share x 25,500 shares = $76,500
You are a U.S. investor who purchased British securities for 2,340 pounds one year ago when the British pound cost $1.52. No dividends were paid on the British securities in the past year. Your total return based on U.S. dollars was __________ if the value of the securities is now 2,440 pounds and the pound is worth $1.61.
a. 16.7%.
b. 20.0%.
c. 12.5%.
d. n/a.
Answer:
d. n/a
Explanation:
Calculation for Your total return based on U.S. dollars
Total return=(2,440 pounds*$1.61)- (2,340 pounds*$1.52)/ (2,340 pounds*$1.52)
Total return=$3,928.4-$3,556.8/$3,556.8
Total return=$371.60/$3,556.8
Total return=0.1045*100
Total return=10.45%
Therefore Your total return based on U.S. dollars was 10.45%
Last year, Big W Company reported earnings per share of $2.70 when its stock was selling for $40.50. If its earnings this year increase by 10% and the P/E ratio remains constant, what will be the price of its stock?
Answer: $44.55
Explanation:
P/E ratio last year = Market price / Earnings per share
= 40.50/2.70
= 15
PE ratio remains constant.
Earnings increase by 10% = 2.70 * 1.10 = $2.97
15 = Market Price / 2.97
Market Price = 15 * 2.97
= $44.55
What is the general relationship between risk and return?
Your salary is 120,000 per year. Your paycheck is cut monthly. You will receive this amount for the next 30 years. Assume that APR is 12%, what is the present value of your life time income
Answer:
$972,183.30
Explanation:
your monthly salary is $120,000 / 12 = $10,000
you will work for 30 years or 360 months
APR = 12%, so monthly discount rate = 12% / 12 = 1%
Present value = $10,000 x annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 1%, 360 periods = 97.21833
present value = $10,000 x 97.21833 = $972,183.30
The cost of capital of a company that uses 45 percent debt that has an after-tax cost of debt of 10 percent and 55 percent equity that has a cost of 15 percent is:_______.
Answer:
12.75 %
Explanation:
Cost of Capital is calculated on a Weighted Average basis. This is because there is a Pooling of Funds when it comes to financing projects. So Cost of Capital is the Return that is Required by providers of Long Term source of finance.
Cost of Capital = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd
Where,
E/V = Market Weight of Equity
= 0.55
Ke = Cost of Equity
= 15%
D/E = Market Weight of Debt
= 0.45
Kd = Cost of Debt
= 10%
Therefore,
Cost of Capital = 0.55 × 15% + 0.45 × 10%
= 12.75 %
If the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response, the effect on aggregate demand from the increase in government spending would be:___.
Answer: Smaller
Explanation:
If the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response, the effect on aggregate demand from the increase in government spending would be smaller than if the Fed were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate.
A rise in Aggregate Demand would lead to more people demanding money to enable them to spend. If the Fed keeps the money supply constant therefore, the increase aggregate demand will be less than if the Fed was committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate.
This is because if the Fed wanted to maintain a fixed rate they would have increased money supply to match money demand which would have led to Aggregate demand increasing more than if they hold the money supply constant.
Assume that a bank receives a deposit of $1,000 in cash, puts aside $200 as required reserves, and makes a loan of $800, this set of transactions will:______
Answer: e. increases the money supply by $800
Explanation:
The scenario described in the question is how money is created in an economy. Banks take deposits and loan them out to entities who would then deposit this loan in another bank (for instance) which would then give it out as loans as well.
The process will theoretically continue till it reaches zero. When the bank in the question made a loan of $800 out of the $1,000 therefore, it was increasing the money supply by $800.
Suppose, that after a successful career, a worker retired precisely as planned with precisely the amount saved that they intended. Upon retirement, they reduced their consumption and spent much less, living a much more simple life. Is this behavior consistent with the permanent income hypothesis?
Answer: Yes it is
Explanation:
The Permanent Income Hypothesis posits that human expenditure in the short term is based on the amount of income they expect to get as income over the long term.
If a person for instance, knows that they will receive a pay cut at the end of the year, they will probably spend less today to survive the pay cut.
Same goes for the worker in this scenario. They know that the amount they saved is all they have now and into the future so they are adjusting their expenses to ensure they survive on that saving.
A quantity of inventory that provides protection against lost sales caused by unfulfilled demands from customers is called:__________
a) Just-in-time inventory.
b) Budgeted stock.
c) Continuous inventory.
d) Capital stock.
e) Safety stock.
Answer:
e) Safety stock.
Explanation:
The term that describes this form of safety-net for companies is called safety stock. Companies tend to have this in order to be able to maintain their business flow as efficiently as possible in case there are unforeseen increases in demand. Otherwise, if demand drastically increases and they do not have this safety stock the company will run out of stock immediately and lose out on sales as they wait for more stock to arrive, which can also cause that stock to sell out immediately due to the backed-up demand, which can lead to the business buying backed up for months.

The argument that industries should be temporarily protected by tariffs or quotas to allow firms to develop a competitive product is called the:_________
a) antidumping argument.
b) competitive relief argument.
c) countervailing duty argument.
d) infant industry argument.
Answer: infant industry argument
Explanation:
The infant industry argument simply means that the new industries in a particular economy should be protected at all cost from the multinationals or already developed foreign firms so that they themselves can grow and that the foreign firms will not hinder their progress and growth.
This usually applies to small and newly established firms. One of the main reason for taxation is to help protect such industries from competition thqt can hinder them.
the median of four numbers is 63.the three of the numbers are 60,62 and 92 what is the missing number
Answer: 64
Explanation:
To find the median of a number, we have to arrange the numbers that are given in either ascending or descending order.
In this case there are 4 numbers, let the fourth number be x, therefore the numbers will be:
60, 62, x and 92.
Since they are four numbers, the median will be the addition of the 2nd and 3rd number and then divided by 2. This will be:
(62 + x) / 2 = 63
62 + x = 126
x = 126 - 62
x = 64
The missing number is 64
As a corporation, you want to distribute money to shareholders as a dividend. If the dividend is taxed at a rate of 20% and the dividend is $1 per share, how much money will a shareholder of 10,000 shares get after-tax? a) $8,000 b) $8,250 c) $8,400 d) $9,000
Answer:
a) $8,000
Explanation:
The tax rate is 20% of the dividend. If the dividend is $1 per share, the actual tax per share is 20 percent of $1.
=20/100 x $1
=0.2 x$1
=20cents per share
A shareholder will receive $1- 20 cents as dividends per share
=80 cents or $0.80 per share.
A shareholder with 10,000 shares will get
=10,000 x $.80
=$8,000

b. 113,377.
c. 41,422.
d. 56,688.
e. 23,000.
Answer:
$19,810.54
Explanation:
Calculation for the minimum number of bonds the firm must sell to raise the $11 million it needs
First step is to calculate the price of each bond
Price of each bond =1,000 / (1+0.04)^15
Price of each bond =1,000 / (1.04)^15
Price of each bond =$555.26
Now let calculate the minimum number of bonds the firm must sell
Minimum number of bonds to sell=$11 million/$555.26
Minimum number of bonds to sell=$19,810.54
Therefore the minimum number of bonds the firm must sell to raise the $11 million it needs is
$19,810.54
