Ierofanga [76]

Answer: The rate at which he is willing to substitute one good for the other

Explanation: Indifference curve shows the combination of two goods that give the consumer the same level of satisfaction. the slope of this indifference curve shows how much the consumer is willing to substitute one good for the other in order to keep utility constant.

$Slope= \frac{Change in x}{Change in y}$

Slope of Indifference curve for soda and chips shows how much soda Timothy is willing to substitute to get 1 additional unit of chips.

$Slope=\frac{Unit of soda foregone}{Units of chips gained}$

So, the correct option is the rate at which he is willing to substitute one good for the other.

On December 31, 2020, Brisbane Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 28,000 shares of 6%, $50 par, cumulati

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

basic earnings per share = $1.14

diluted earnings per share = $1.02

Explanation:

net income = $178,905

preferred stocks = 28,000 x 6% x $50 = $84,000

January 1, 100,000 shares outstanding x 12/12 = 100,000

February 28, purchased -22,000 treasury stocks x 10/12 = -18,333

September 30, sold 5,800 treasury stocks x 3/12 = 1,450

total weighted average stocks = 83,117

diluted stocks = [($48 - $38) / $48] x 48,000 = 10,000

basic earnings per share = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average stocks = ($178,905 - $84,000) / 83,117 stocks = $1.14

diluted earnings per share = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average stocks + diluted stocks) = ($178,905 - $84,000) / (83,117 + 10,000 diluted stocks) = $1.02

The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of retur

defon

Answer:

The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate
rM is the return on market

r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

In the United States, banks keep the entire value of all customer deposits in the bank vault to meet customer withdrawals. FALSE.

Banks keep only a portion of the customer deposits in the bank vault. A small portion is kept with the Fed called the Reserve Requirement.

Banks typically loan out a portion of customer deposits. TRUE.

Banks only loan out the portion of customer deposits that they did not leave with the Fed.

Bank runs occur when many customers attempt to withdraw deposits from a bank at the same time and the bank is unable to pay all customer withdrawals. TRUE.

When too many people try to withdraw from a bank, the bank might not meet these obligations because they loaned out money to people and those people were not yet due to pay back. This is a bank run.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) protects bank depositors from bank failure. TRUE.

The fractional reserve banking system requires all banks to keep the total value of customer deposits in their vaults to prevent bank runs. FALSE.

As explained in the first paragraph, the Fed requires that banks keep a portion of customer deposits with the Fed instead of the total value of customer deposits.
