Answer:

B. a decrease; a decrease

Explanation:

Substitutes' goods are products that can be consumed in place of each other.  If one product is missing, consumers will be ready and willing to buy its substitute. An increase or fall in the price of a good or services will cause the demand for its substitute to move in the opposite direction.

Equilibrium quantity is when supply matches the demand. If the price of Tuna fish decreases, its demand will increase as more customers will afford it. Tuna and chicken are substitutes, should the price of Tuna decrease,  customers will prefer to consume Tuna over chicken.  Consequently, the demand for chicken will reduce w leading to a decrease in its price.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

C) $27.75

Explanation:

Earnings:

2.00 x 20% = 0.4 (2.00 + 0.40 = 2.40)

2.40 x 20% = 0.48 (2.40 + 0.48 = 2.88)

2.88 x 20% = 0.576 (2.88 + 0.576 = 3.456)

3.46 x 10% = 0.346 (3.46 + 0.346 = 3.806)

3.80 x 10% = 0.38 (3.80 + 0.38 = 4.18)

Dividends:  

3.46 x 50% = 1.73

3.80 x 50 % = 1.90

4.18 x 75% = 3.135 ( 50% + 25% = 75%)

P0 = 1.73/[(1.12)^4] + 1.90/[(1.12)^5] + (3.14/(0.12 - 0.05))/1.125

     = 27.63

Therefore, If Bean's equity cost of capital is 12%, then the price of a share of Bean's stock is closest to $27.75

Precision Camera Services started the year with total assets of​ $120,000 and total liabilities of​ $40,000. The company is a so
eimsori [14]

Answer:

$125,000

Explanation:

Opening values of;

Total assets =​ $120,000

Total liabilities = $40,000

Total equity = $120,000 - $40,000 = $80,000

During the year,

Total revenues = $140,000

Total expenses = $50,000

Withdrawal by owner = $45,000

The amount withdrawn by the owner reduces the owners equity. This may be deducted from the net income.

Net income from the year = $140,000 - $50,000 - $45,000

                                           = $45,000

This will be added to the opening owner's equity to get the closing owner's equity.

Owner's equity at the end of the​ year = $80,000 + $45,000  

                                                               = $125,000

O'Brien Ltd.'s outstanding bonds have a $1,000 par value, and they mature in 25 years. Their nominal yield to maturity is 9.25%,
kozerog [31]

Answer:

8.99%

Explanation:

For this question we use the PMT function that is presented on the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Present value = $975

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 9.25%  ÷ 2 = 4.625%

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate,NPER,-PV,FV,type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the PMT is $44.96

Now the annual PMT is

= $44.96 × 2

= $89.92

So, the coupon interest rate is

= $89.92 ÷ $1,000

= 8.99%
