Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.
Explanation:
To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:
= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing
= $87 - $62 - $26
= -$1
Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".
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:
Explanation:
1) The total cost of reducing runoff if the farmers are not allowed to trade permits is:
total loss = farmer A' loss + farmer B's loss
where:
- farmer A's loss = (100 - 50) x $25 = $1,250
- farmer B's loss = (100 - 50) x $50 = $2,500
total loss = $1,250 + $2,500 = $3,750
2) The total cost of reducing runoff if the farmers are allowed to trade permits is:
Since farmer A will be willing to sell his permits to farmer B for a price that is ≥ $25 and ≤ $50, the total cost of reducing runoff is $2,500.
If farmer A sells his runoff permit at a price higher than $25 his costs will decrease but farmer B's costs will increase, so any gain due to price change is offset by the other farmer's loss.
The answer to the blank space is green-oriented.
Green-oriented products are also known as environmental-friendly products, which means either the product is created from raw materials that will not cause harm upon use or disposal to the environment, or that the product is created through a process that does not impact the environment in a harmful manner.
In the Frito-Lay’s case of snack food manufacturing, it is clear that this is the second type of environmental-friendly product, since the product is partially produced using solar power which leads to less harmful pollution for the environment.
