Answer: 0.4%

Explanation:

Given that,

At every time a fund manager trades stock, then

Transaction costs = 0.4% of the value of the trade

Portfolio turnover rate = 50% ; On an average, 50% of the portfolio stock is sold and exchange with the other securities every year.

Trading costs on selling orders = 0.4%

Trading costs on buying orders = 0.4%

Therefore,

Total return of the portfolio reduced by trading costs:

= 2\times0.50\times0.004

      = 0.4%

Gouda Company and Cheddar Company had the same sales, total costs, and income from operations for the current fiscal year; yet G
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

If both companies have the sames sales volume, total costs and income from operations, the reason why Gouda has a lower break even point is that their variable costs are lower. We use the contribution margin per unit to calculate the break even point and the contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs. The question states that total costs are equal, but it doesn't say anything about variable or fixed costs.

Assuming that Gouda is above break even point, each sale will generate a higher operating profit since the contribution margin is higher.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

(Decrease, Increase)

Explanation:

When the government formulates and implements policies aimed at increasing equality, the society will experience a reduction in the level of efficiency. For example, an increase in income tax on wealthiest Americans, and redistribution of the tax revenue to the poorest Americans would may discourage the wealthy from taking more income-generating activities which create jobs, this is not optimal. At the same time, this policy would reduces the peoples’ incentive to work hard to earn their own money.

Green Thumb Nursery has 53,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $63.57 per share. The earnings per share are $3.57. The f
mamaluj [8]

Answer: $3.70

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Net income / Number of shares

Net income = Earnings per share * Number of shares

= 3.57 * 53,000

= $189,210

The number of shares that Green Thumb bought back is:

= Stock repurchase amount / Market price of shares

= 117,000 / 63.57

= 1,840 shares

After the repurchase the number of shares is:

= 53,000 original shares - 1,840

= 51,160 shares

New EPS = 189,210 / 51,160

= $3.70
