Suppose that there are no storage costs for crude oil and the interest rate for borrowing or lending is 5% per annum. How could
mario62 [17]

Answer:

$4.50

Explanation:

In order to make a profit from the futures contracts, it would be appropriate to take a long position in the  June futures contract(buy) and take a short position in the December futures contract.

The investor would borrow $60 today which would necessitate paying back $60 plus a half-year in interest payment.

loan repayment=$60*(1+5%/2)=$ 61.50  

In December, sell crude oil at $66 and repay the loan principal and interest

profit=$66-$61.50=$4.50

Explain the meanings of market timing and security selection, highlighting their similarities and differences.
elena-s [515]
<h3>What Is Market Timing?</h3>

Market timing is the act of moving investment funds into or out of financial markets – or moving funds between asset classes – based on predictive methods. If an investor can predict when the market will go up and down, they can trade to turn that market movement into a profit.

<h3>What is security selection?</h3>

Security selection is the process of determining which financial stocks to include in a particular portfolio. Good stock picks can generate profits during market ups and downs and climate losses during bear markets.

Security selection implies picking individual stocks that the fund manager expects will outperform the market as a whole. Market timing implies betting on systematic risk factors. We see that Swedish equity mutual funds engage in both these types of active behaviour.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Correct option is B Yes and Yes

Yes - Compensating shall be reported, And Restricted shall also be reported.

Explanation:

Compensating balance is the minimum balance to be maintained in the company's bank account as this is used by bank for offsetting loan, and used by company to set up the loan amount.

Restricted balance is a choice made by the company to not use the funds and use it later for company's growth or future projected, but still since it cannot be used it shall also be reported accordingly.

Therefore the company has the need to report such restricted balance also and compensating balance has to be reported as well.

Therefore correct option is B

Yes - Compensating shall be reported, And Restricted shall also be reported.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

total budgeted costs = $141,570

budgeted production = 1,000 units

standard rate = $141,570 / 1,000 = $141.57 per unit

total actual costs = $135,810

actual production = 850 units

actual rate = $135,810 / 850 = $159.78 per unit

  1. total fixed overhead variance = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs =  $135,810 - $141,570 = -$5,760 favorable. The actual overhead expense was lower than budgeted.
  2. controllable variance = (actual rate - standard rate) x actual units = ($159.78 - $141.57) x 850 units = $15,478.50 unfavorable. The actual overhead rate was higher than the standard rate, that is why the variance is unfavorable (more money was spent than budgeted).
  3. volume variance = (standard activity - actual activity) x standard rate = (1,000 - 850) x $141.57 = 150 x $141.57 = $21,235.50 unfavorable. Less units where produced than budgeted, that is why the variance is unfavorable.
