A severe freeze has damaged the Florida orange crop. The impact on the market for orange juice will be a leftward shift of
Group of answer choices.
A. the supply curve, resulting in a lower equilibrium price.
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
C. the demand curve, as consumers try to economize because of the shortage.
D. the demand curve, resulting in a price ceiling in the market.
Answer:
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a severe freeze has damaged the Florida orange crop. Thus, the impact on the market for orange juice will be a leftward shift of the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
An equilibrium price can be defined as the price at which the quantity of goods demanded is equal to the quantity of goods supplied.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.
In June 201X, a six-month call on XYZ stock, with an exercise price of $22.50, sold for $12.30. The stock price was $27.27. The risk-free interest rate was 3.9 percent. How much would you be willing to pay for a put on XYZ stock with the same maturity and exercise price
Answer:
Price of Put = $ 7.1037
Explanation:
Put-Call Parity:
Price of Call + Exercise Price / (1 + Risk-free rate)^T = Price of Put + Stock Price
Price of Call = $12.30
Exercise Price = $22.50
Stock Price = $27.27
Risk-free rate = 3.9%
Time period = 6 months or 0.5 year
Now insert the values:
Price of Call + Exercise Price / (1 + Risk-free rate)^T = Price of Put + Stock price
12.30 + 22.50 / (1 + 3.9%)^0.5 = Price of Put + 27.27
12.30 + 22.50 / 1.019313 - 27.27 = Price of Put
Price of Put = 12.30 + 22.0737 - 27.27
Price of Put = $ 7.1037
You invested $5,000 in the stock market one year ago. Today, the investment is valued at $5,500. What return did you earn? What return would you suffer next year for your investment to be valued at the original $5,000?A. 10%, -9.09%, respectivelyB. -10%, +9.09%, respectivelyC. 110%, -10%, respectivelyD. 110%, -9.09%, respectively
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Rate of return in one period = (value in year 1 / initial value) - 1
(5500 / 5000) - 1 = 0.1 = 10%
(5000 / 5500) - 1 = -9.09%

rt, a $0.73 per share cash dividend was declared by the board of directors for it common stock. On 12/31, the date of declaration, there were 98,000 shares authorized, 59,000 shares issued, and 8,000 Treasury shares. On the date of the dividend declaration, what amount will Walmart record into their dividend account
Answer:
$36,792
Explanation:
Missing word "At Walmart, the board of directors declared a $0.73"
Outstanding stockholder = Issued stockholder - Treasury stock
Outstanding stockholder = 59,000 shares - 8,600 shares
Outstanding stockholder = 50,400 shares
Amount of Dividend = Declared per share cash dividend * Outstanding stockholder
Amount of Dividend = 50,400 shares * $0.73
Amount of Dividend = $36,792
So therefore, on the date of the dividend declaration, $36,792 shall be recorded by Walmart into their dividend account.
A bond issued by Vodafone has a coupon rate of 6.15% with semiannual payments, a par value of $1,000,and remaining maturity of exactly 25 years. The bond is currently trading at a price in the market that reflects a yield to maturity for the bond of 3.86%. What is the current value of the bond
Answer:
$1,365.15
Explanation:
Coupon rate = 6.15%
Par Value = 1000
Years = 25
Coupon = 30.75
No of the periods = 50 (25*2)
Semi YTM = 1.93% (3.86%/2)
Price = PV(Semi YTM, No of the periods, -Coupon, -Par Value)
Price = PV(1.93%, 50, -30.75, -1000)
Price = $1,365.15
So, the current value of the bond is $1,365.15.
Thirty years ago, the original owner of Greenacre, a lot contiguous to Blueacre, in fee simple, executed and delivered to his neighbor an instrument in writing which was denominated "Deed of Conveyance." In pertinent part it read, "[The owner] does grant to [the neighbor] and her heirs and assigns a right-of-way for egress and ingress to Blueacre." If the quoted provision was sufficient to create an interest in land, the instrument met all other requirements for a valid grant. The neighbor held record title in fee simple to Blueacre, which adjoined Greenacre. Twelve years ago the owner's son succeeded to the original owner's title in fee simple in Greenacre and seven years ago the neighbor's daughter succeeded to the neighbor's title in fee simple to Blueacre by a deed which made no mention of a right-of-way or driveway. At the time the neighbor's daughter took title, there existed a driveway across Greenacre which showed evidence that it had been used regularly to travel between the main road and Blueacre. Blueacre did have frontage on a side road, but this means of access was seldom used because it was not as convenient to the dwelling situated on Blueacre as was the main road. The driveway originally was established by the neighbor. The neighbor's daughter has regularly used the driveway since acquiring title. The period of time required to acquire rights by prescription in the jurisdiction is ten years. Six months ago the son notified the neighbor's daughter that the son planned to develop a portion of Greenacre as a residential subdivision and that the daughter should cease any use of the driveway. After some negotiations, the son offered to permit the daughter to construct another driveway to connect with the streets of the proposed subdivision. The daughter declined this offer on the ground that travel from Blueacre to the main road would be more circuitous. The neighbor's daughter brought an appropriate action against the son to obtain a definitive adjudication of the respective rights of the daughter and the son. In such lawsuit the son relied upon the defense that the location of the easement created by the grant from the original owner to the neighbor was governed by reasonableness and that the son's proposed solution was reasonable.
The son's defense should:____________
Answer: Son's argument should fail
Explanation:
The son's defense will fail because the location of the easement is not governed by reasonableness as it had been established at its current location by the neighbor.
It can not now be changed arbitrarily by the son because the original owner had allowed it to be built. The easement's location is therefore established by actions between the original owner and the neighbor and so it is a binding location.

Suppose a company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk. To accomplish that objective, which of the following must the company do?
a. The duration of its liabilities must be longer than the duration of its assets.
b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
c. The duration of its liabilities must be shorter than the duration of its assets.
Answer: b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets
Explanation:
Since the company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk, then the duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
It should be noted that when the duration of its liabilities is shorter than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is positive and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of assets will be affected more.
When duration of its liabilities is longer than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is negative and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of liabilities will be affected more.
Finally, when the duration of its liabilities is equal the duration of its assets, its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk.

Allocation of costs:
Janitorial:
Cafeteria = $225,000 ($450,000 * 10,000/20,000)
Cutting = $45,000 ($450,000 * 2,000/20,000)
Assembly = $180,000 ($450,000 * 8,000/20,000)
Cafeteria:
Cutting = $318,750 ($425,000 * 60/80)
Assembly = $106,250 ($425,000 * 20/80)
Percentage usage of the Cafeteria Department by the Assembly = 25% ($106,250/$318,750 * 100)
On January 1, Able Company purchased equipment costing $135,000 with an estimated salvage value of $10,500, and an estimated useful life of five years. Using the straight-line method, what is the amount that should be recorded as depreciation on December 31?
a. $135,000
b. $24.900
c. $124,500
d. $27,000
Answer:
Depreciation = $24900
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of depreciation:
Cost of equipment = $135000
Salvage value = $10500
Useful life = 5 years
Depreciation = (Cost of machine - salvage value) / useful life
Depreciation = (135000 - 10500) / 5
Depreciation = $24900

MSI has been approached by a fourth-grade teacher from Portland about the possibility of creating a specially designed game that would be customized for her classroom and environment. The teacher would like an educational game to correspond to her classroom coverage of the history of the Pacific Northwest, and the state of Oregon in particular. MSI has not sold its products directly to teachers or school systems in the past, but its Marketing Department identified that possibility during a recent meeting.
The teacher has offered to buy 1,000 copies of the CD at a price of $5 each. MSI could easily modify one of its existing educational programs about U.S. history to accommodate the request. The modifications would cost approximately $500. A summary of the information related to production of MSI’s current history program follows:
Direct materials $ 1.50
Direct labor 0.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.25
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.00
Total cost per unit $ 6.35
Sales price per unit $ 12.00
Required:
1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
2. Should MSI accept the special order?
Yes
No
3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 1,000 copies of the program for $4.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.
4. Suppose that MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. The incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.
2. Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.
3. The incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.
4. The special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.
Explanation:
Note that only variable costs are relevant to making decision on a special order. That is, fixed cost is not relevant. Therefore, we have:
Total variable cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.50 + $0.60 + $2.25 = $4.35.
We then proceed as follows:
1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($5 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = $150
Therefore, the incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.
2. Should MSI accept the special order?
Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.
3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 1,000 copies of the program for $4.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.
Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($4.50 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = ($350), or –$350
Therefore, the incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.
4. Suppose that MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Modification cost per unit = Modification cost / Units of special order = $500 / 1,000 = $0.50
Special order price = Regular price + Modification cost per unit = $12 + $0.50 = $12.50 per unit
Therefore, the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.

Here are data on two companies. The T-bill rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%.What would be the fair return for $1 Discount Store according to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
Answer:
13%
Explanation:
Please find attached a table containing further information needed to answer this question
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x market premium
Beta measures systemic risk
The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
4% + (1.5 x 6%) = 13%

Explanation:
Competitive Analysis
This is commonly refered to as a form of research review and final evaluation of one's competitors. It is beneficial due to the fact that the information you obtained/known can help you to be based on your competitor weaknesses
When starting this analysis, always you set up expectations that can be achieved so that one's team has enough time to fully research, analyze, and share their findings.
Competitive analysis, as a part of your business planning, is a means by which an individual believes that their business will survive and thrive competitively in the market because the individual has full attachment to current competitors and one's potential competition too. Putting the robot through a drop test is not correct as it may destroy it.
Which of the following statements is incorrect? Employment insurance compensation encourages longer job searches, which may lead to a better match between jobs and employees. Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being unemployed. The typical employment insurance compensation is roughly one third of one's latest salary for up to 26 weeks. Demand and supply curves for labor are constantly shifting.
Answer:
Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being
unemployed.

Although every resident places value on having an educated community, the school's revenues have suffered lately due to a large decline in private donations from the elderly population. Since the benefit that each citizen receives from having an educated community is a public good, which of the following would not be correct?
a. The free-rider problem causes the private market to undersupply education to the community
b. The govemment can potentially help the market reach a socially optimal level of education.
c. A tax increase to pay for education could potentially make the community better off.
d. The private market is the best way to supply education.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The privately-owned school system in Smalltown generates positive externality to members of SmalltownA good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
The free rider problem is a form of market failure. It occurs when people benefit from a good or service of communal nature and do not pay to enjoy these services.
The free rider has caused a decline in revenues and did not cause the private market to undersupply education to the community
