A cash flow statement merely describes the net change in a company's cash flow in investment, operational, and financial activities at a given period in time. As such, a bad debt in the company's portfolio cannot be reflected correctly in the cash flow statement. A company can also result to selling products at a much lower prices than it purchased them. While this is reflected in the cash flow statement, it does not translate into overall profitability of the concerned company.

LekaFEV [45]
                    Expected rate of return           Probabilities
Booming                22%                                    5%
Normal                  15%                                   92%
Recession               2%                                     3%

The expected rate of return on this stock is solved by multiply each expected rate of return to its corresponding probability and getting the sum of all products.

Booming: 0.22 x 0.05 =  0.011
Normal:   0.15 x  0.92 = 0.138
Recession 0.02 x 0.03 =<u> 0.0006</u>
Sum total                     0.1496  or 14.96% is the expected rate of return on this stock

Elden [556K]

Answer:

International flows of funds can affect the Fed's monetary policy. For example, suppose that interest rates are trending lower than the Fed desires. If this downward pressure on U.S. interest rates may be offset by <u>outflows</u> of foreign funds, the Fed may not feel compelled to use a <u>tight </u>monetary policy.

Explanation:

A Tight Monetary Policy is when the central bank tightens policy or makes money tight by raising short-term interest rates through policy changes to the discount rate, also known as the federal funds rate. Boosting interest rates increases the cost of borrowing and effectively reduces its attractiveness.

Outflows of foreign funds or the flight of assets occurs when foreign and domestic investors sell off their holdings in a particular country because of perceived weakness in the nation's economy and the belief that better opportunities exist abroad.

The reasoning is as follows, the rate is down in the USA so holders of assets look for better rates abroad as a consequence  there is less money in the US domestic economy and automatically the rate tend to rise (remember that interest rate is the price of money). If there is less supply of something the price of that something will go up (ceteris paribus). The same thing will happen to the interest rate without the intervention of the FED.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 50,000 bottles of wine were sold every
grigory [225]

Answer:

$4

$1 and $3

False

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a)

Amount of tax for each bottle is $4 because the sellers are receiving $2 and buyers are paying $6. Therefore,

Amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $6 - $2 = $4

b)

Burden on the consumer = $6 - $5

= $1

Burden on the seller = $4 - $1

= $3

c)

False, because the tax incidence depends on the flexibility or elasticity  of market.

creativ13 [48]

Answer: $1,017,000

Explanation:

In calculating product costs we take the following, Direct materials and direct labor, Other variable manufacturing costs, Depreciation of factory building and manufacturing equipment and Other fixed manufacturing costs.

We add all of those with the result being the Product cost.

Calculating therefore would give us,

= 770,000 + 135,000 + 87,000 + 25,000

= $1,017,000

$1,017,000 is the amount that should be considered product costs for external reporting purposes.
