Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

D. Capital market instruments include both long-term debt and common stocks.

Explanation:

Capital market is financial market where long term instruments are traded. These instruments include bond, common stocks and debenture. With this background, statement in option D is correct.

Option A is not correct because reverse is the case: investment banks raise large blocks of capital from investors while commercial banks specialize in lending money.

Option B and E are not correct, too. Transaction under them are examples of a secondary market transaction.

Option C is wrong, as well. NYSE has a physical location where trading activities happen.

So option D is the only correct statement because capital market instruments are long-term debt and common stocks.

5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses

gogolik [260]

Question Completion:

Due to erratic sales of its sole product - a high capacity battery for laptop computers - PEM, Inc., has been experiencing difficulties for some time. The contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given as follows:

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit) $585,000

Variable expenses 409,500

Contribution margin 175,500

Fixed expenses 180,000

Net operating margin ($4,500)

Answer:

PEM, Inc.

a1) New CM ratio = 40%

a2) Break-even point in unit sales and dollars sales

i) Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution per unit

= $237,000/$12

= 19,750 units

ii) Break-even point in dollars sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution margin ratio

= $237,000/0.4

= $592,500

b. Contribution format income statements, based on sales of 20,800 units:

Without With

Automation Automation

Sales (20,800 units at $30 per unit) $624,000 $624,000 (20,800 * $30)

Variable expenses (20,800 at $21) 436,800 374,400 (20,800 * $18)

Contribution margin (20,800 * $9) 187,200 249,600 (20,800 * $12)

Fixed expenses 180,000 237,000

Net operating margin $7,200 $12,600

c) I would recommend that the company should automate its operations. It will generate more net operating margin, equal to $5,400 ($12,600 - $7,200), when it automates than when it does not, assuming that it expects to sell 20,800 units.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable expenses reduction = $3 per unit

Old variable expenses per unit = $21 ($409,500/19,500)

New variable expenses per unit = $18 ($21 - $3)

New variable expenses = $351,000 ($18 * 19,500)

New Contribution Margin per unit = $12 ($30 - $18)

New Contribution margin ratio = $12/$30 * 100 = 0.4 or 40%

Old Fixed Expenses = $180,000

New Fixed Expenses = $237,000 ($180,000 + $57,000)

A company produces 100 cars in the year 2017 but only manages to sell 90 of the cars. In the year 2018 they sell the 10 cars tha

forsale [732]

Answer:

The question has below options:

A. The unsold cars count as inventory investment for 2017. 2018 GDP is not affected.

B.The unsold cars count as consumption spending in 2018.

C. The unsold cars count in the inventory investment category for both years and count as consumption spending in 2018.

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

The unsold stock of 10 cars in 2017 is classified as investment since the cost of producing them is expected to yield returns in 2018 when they have been sold.

However, the unsold stock of 2017 becomes 2018 consumption of GDP since it relates to household expenditure in 2018, as a result it is accorded such classification.

It cannot be classified as government expenditure as the government is not the one purchasing the vehicle

Also, the ten cars have nothing to do with import or export as they are trade within the domestic economy

Answer:

This is really a personal opinion, since whether it is correct to send people to mars or not depends largely on your point of view and personal beliefs. Clearly, humans are far more capable than robots, and they can explore space and eventually other planets much better than a rover. On the other hand, sending people to Mars is not only extremely expensive, but it is also extremely dangerous for the astronauts themselves.

Imagine so many people died trying to get to space and then to the moon, and that was very easy compared to getting to Mars and back.

We can find millions of better ways to use the money than sending people to space, and that is really hard to argue against. Our planet, our country, state or even city could all benefit and use the money more productively.

But lets say that we do not care about the money because Mr. Bezos or some other billionaire decided to donate it. Now we would face the technical issues of going to Mars and actually staying there for a long time. A trip to mars is not something that would be carried out for just a couple of hours (like moon walking). Astronauts will have to stay in Mars for weeks, months or even years before they can return. This results in an extreme danger to their health due to cosmic rays. Can humans survive long term exposure to cosmic rays? The answer is NO and Mars's atmosphere doesn't help.

If we analyze this situation from a technical point of view, it would be better and safer to send astronauts to Titan (Saturn's moon), and would probably be also more useful. Titan's environment is similar to Earth's in many ways, and if we are actually doing it for a scientific purpose besides simply being curious, then it is much more useful to go to Titan. The scientific purpose of going to mars instead of other possible destinations is not very solid. Mars is really different to Earth and unless someone finds Martians living there, there is not much you can do.
