"A dealer buys 10,000 shares of ABC common at $15 for its inventory. One week later the stock is quoted at $18 - $19, and a cust
a_sh-v [17]

Answer: c. $19

Explanation:

Under the FINRA 5% Policy, a fair and reasonable mark-up or commission is based upon the current market price of the stock not how much the dealer bought it for or rather their cost. As such, when the customer buys, which was the case in this scenario, the mark-up is charged on the <em>inside ask price</em> which in this case is $19.

Were the customer to be selling, any mark-downs will be charged on the <em>inside bid price </em>which in this case is $18.

When the activity level declines within the relevant range, what should happen with respect to the fixed cost per unit and varia
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The fixed costs are the cost that does not vary with the level of output. It does not vary with the level of activity. The total fixed cost remains constant in the entire production process.

The fixed cost per unit is the ratio of total fixed cost and level of output. It decreases as the output level increases and rises with a decline in activity.

The variable cost is the cost that is incurred on the variable inputs used in the production process. It directly varies with the volume of activity. The total variable cost will increase with the increase of output as more variable inputs are employed.

The variable cost per unit is the cost incurred on each unit of output. It does not change with the level of activity unless there is a change in input prices.
