I believe the answer would be the first one a dedication to hard work because if they aren't into their work and don't work for it the business would crumble
hope this helps
Answer:
D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.
Explanation:
The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.
<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>
According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.
This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.
The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.
By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.
You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
Answer:
C) defensive
Explanation:
Defensive stocks are stocks that generally perform well during economic recessions. In other words, their price is not related to the market tendency. Even if the market goes down, their price remains stable. Generally companies that sell products with a constant demand are considered defensive stocks, e.g. Costco, Target, Walmart, utilities (all, electric, gas, water), etc.
E. decrease in both number of shares outstanding and the market price per share
Answer:
D. The equilibrium price and quantity increases
Explanation:
When the demand curve shifts to the right and the supply curve is held constant, the equilibrium price and quantity increases.
A rightward shift in the demand curve from D1 to D2 an a supply curve S held constant, the equilibrium price increases from P1 to P2 and equilibrium quantity increases from Q1 to Q2.
Therefore, a shift in demand curve to the right at a constant supply curve will increase equilibrium price and quantity.
