Answer:

Price of the stock will rise or increase

Explanation:

Efficient market hypothesis states that price of stock factors in all information related to the stock. As such, nobody can take advantage of higher returns offered by a particular stock for a long time.

In line with efficient market efficiency, if public expected a bigger loss of $5 but loss was only for $4, the price of stock will increase. Though the company still suffers a loss, it is less than what was expected by the market, resulting in increase in stock price.

Bond [772]

Answer:

A. 40,900

Explanation:

Calculation for what Power Cords Corp.'s margin of safety (MOS) in units is:

First step is to calculate the Break-even

Break-even units = $1,650,000/($3,750 - $2,250)

Break-even units= 1,100 units

Now let calculate the margin of safety (MOS) in units

Margin of Safety = 42,000 - 1,100

Margin of Safety= 40,900 units

Therefore Power Cords Corp.'s margin of safety (MOS) in units is:40,900

A firm in a perfectly competitive market has a fixed cost of $1,000 and a variable cost of $500 while it is earning the revenue
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost

Explanation:

Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.

Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510

Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q

R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500

So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC

Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down
