Answer:
The answers are:
- automobile insurers
- life insurance companies
- a life insurance policy
- longer
- longer-term
Explanation:
When a company may need money in a short notice (like auto insurers), they will need to make liquid investments. That means that they can turn their investments into cash very rapidly. Since T-bills are traded all the time, they are very liquid investments, although they aren't very lucrative investments.
On the other hand, companies that know that they will not be needing a lot money promptly (life insurance), can afford to invest in projects with a longer life span that can be more profitable also. Usually liquid investments have smaller rates of return, while long term investments have higher rates of return.
Answer:
Risk free interest rate is 5%
Y is 15.5% at a Beta of 1.5
X is 0.29 when Y is 7%
Explanation:
Risk free interest is 0.05 which 5% as given in the equation
The average expected return is given by Y
Y=0.05+0.07X
Since Beta is the same as X, when equals 1.5,Y is calculated thus
Y=0.05+0.07(1.5)
Y=0.05+0.105
Y=0.155
Y=15.5%
The value of Beta at an average return of 7% is computed thus:
7%=0.05+0.07X
where X is the unknown
0.07=0.05+0.07X
0.07-0.05=0.07X
0.02=0.07X
X=0.02/0.07
X=0.29
The scenario illustrates that the Beta, which is the risk of investment and the Y , the expected average return are positively correlated.
Answer:
Explanation:
In Russia, the economy has gone from Stalin's five year Plans, directed by the Central Committee, or Gosplan, to Mikhail Gorbachev's Perestroika, in the 1980s. This led to increased ownership of property, which continued until Putin, Boris Yeltsin's successor, took power
Answer:
Shut down as P < AVC.
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price = $24
Average variable cost = $25
Average total cost (ATC) = $30
Marginal cost = $24
He should shut down because the price received by him for the product is less than average variable cost. He should shut down its operations because he won't be able cover the average variable cost associated with the production of the product.
Price = $24 which is less than average variable cost of $25.
If he will be able to cover its variable cost then he will continue operating in this market condition.
Answer:
The bad debt expense which should be recorded in the income statement for the year 2019, amounts to $127,600
Explanation:
The bad debt expense which should be recorded in the income statement for the year 2019 is computed as:
= Net Credit Sales × Uncollectible credit sales for the year 2019
where
Net Credit Sales is $290,000
Uncollectible credit sales for the year 2019 is 44%
Putting the values in the above formula:
= $290,000 × 44%
= $127,600
