I think it would be A speculative risk
Answer:
(B)Decrease
Explanation:
Interest rate is inversely related to the market value of fixed interest income securities like bonds, certificate of deposits, preferred stocks e.t.c.
The higher the inflation, the higher the interest rates all things being equal. An increase in interest rate will drive down the market value of fixed income securities because inflation reduces the real returns on fixed income securities.

Explanation:
A Dutch auction is a method for pricing shares (often in an initial public offering) whereby the price of the shares offered is lowered until there are enough bids to sell all shares. All the shares are then sold at that price. The goal of a Dutch auction is the find the optimal price at which to sell a security.
For example, let's assume Company XYZ wants to sell 10 million shares using a Dutch auction. To participate in a Dutch auction, an investor typically opens an account with Company XYZ's underwriter (usually an investment bank), obtains a prospectus, and obtains an access code or bidder identification code (Dutch auctions often occur online).
During bidding, investors indicate how many shares they're willing to buy and the price they're willing to pay. The underwriter, who acts as the auctioneer, usually starts the auction by offering a prohibitively high price for the security (say, $40 per share in this case). It then lowers the price gradually to say, $36 per share, where two bids come in for 500,000 shares. The underwriter then lowers the price again, this time to $35, and attracts 4,000,000 shares worth of bids. After lowering the price to $34, the underwriter gets another 5,000,000 shares worth of bids; then the underwriter lowers the price to $33 and gets another 3,000,000 in bids before the auction ends.
Answer:
17 times
Explanation:
Data provided in the given question :-
Net Sales = $1,250,000
Average account Receivable = $73,500
Net Income = $53,150
So, the accounts receivable turnover ratio is given below :-
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Net sales ÷ Average accounts receivable
= $1,250,000 ÷ $73,500
= 17 times
Hence the net income is ignored for calculating the account receivable turnover ratio.
Answer:
c. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Explanation:
To check which answer is correct, we simply evaluate each option step by step.
<u>Option A</u>
Gross margin is the difference between selling price and cost.
Under FIFO gross margin is $14. (32 -18 =14)
Under LIFO gross margin is $13. (32-19 = 13)
Thus statement is incorrect as gross margin is higher if FIFO is used.
<u />
<u>Option B</u>
If FIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $19 as ending inventory will contain product purchased later that is at $19. In contrast, if LIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $18. Thus the statement becomes incorrect that it will be the same.
<u />
<u>Option C</u>
The ending inventory under FIFO is $19.
The ending inventory under LIFO is $18
The endng inventory under AVCO or weighted average will be, 18+19 / 2 = 18.5
Thus the statement is correct as the ending inventory under weighted average $18.5 is lower than ending inventory under FIFO $19. So, C is the correct Answer.
