What are the cons of using new residential sales/new home sales as a economic indicator?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.

The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.

Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.

Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.

Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.

Answer:

d. Overstate, understate, understate, zero

Explanation:

The amount of earnings overall is the same. so, in the end, there is n difference in retained earnings.

But, on accrual accounting, the note should not enter the accounting as 1,000 as time value of money exist.

At 2016 the sales revenue should be the present value of 1,000 dollars not the complete 1,000 dollars. Thus, is overstated.

Then, the interest accrued from the note are not recognized. Thus, the first year (2016) recognize revenues that should be matched with 2017 and 2018

Thus, these two subsequent years ended understated.

A purchaser paid $403.10 for a TV that cost the seller $290. If the seller's markup was 39% of the $290 cost, then what would be

CaHeK987 [17]

Percent markup based on the selling price: 28.1%

Explanation:

The cost of the TV for the seller was

$c=\$290$

Of this, the markup of this price was 39%. Therefore, the value of the markup (in dollars) with respect to the cost for the seller was

$m=0.39\cdot 290 =\$113.1$

So, this was the markup relative to the cost for the seller.

The price paid by the purchaser instead is

$p=\$403.1$

Therefore, the percent markup based on the selling price (paid by the purchaser) is:

$\frac{m}{p}\cdot 100 = \frac{113.1}{403.1}\cdot 100 =0.281\cdot 100 = 28.1\%$

Katen [24]

Answer:

Answer to this question is explained below in detail.

Explanation:

This question is not complete. This has two parts a) and b). Part a) is complete and b) is incomplete. I have written down the complete question and will try to answer completely.

a) Briefly describe the differences among international bond, bank and equity markets.

b) Would you support an MNC that favors financing through bonds issues or would you rather support one that favors financing through stock issues?

Solution:

a) We are asked to differentiate between international bond, bank and equity markets.

All three terms are related to raising funds, lending or borrowing to raise the capital for some government or for any company.

Let's start with International Bonds first.

International Bonds : In this globalized world, a company can raise its capital through getting debt in the form of international bonds from international institutions over the assets value of the company. For example: XYZ company has a asset value of 10 million dollars, so it can get international bonds accordingly.

International Equity markets: Again due to interlinked world, companies and institutions all over the world can invest their funds in any company around the globe. And through equity markets companies can sell their shares to raise its capital depending upon the asset value of the company.

International Banks: International banks are international institutions which raise capital in particular country and have branches all over the world. It can lend funds to companies on particular interest rates. Furthermore, all those bonds are generated in these banks as well.

b) Supporting an MNC that favors financing through bonds issues or through equity markets or stock issues will depend on the debt/equity ratio of the company. If it is low, company should go for debt or bond issues. If it is high then it should opt for stock issues.
