Answer:

The local government issues a limited number of restaurant licenses every year. (A)

Explanation:

Bertha claims that the burgers sold by Luke's Express Diner are priced a bit too high, because they enjoy monopoly power in the town; hence with the local government issuance of a limited number of restaurant licenses every year, this will break the monopoly that Luke's Express Dinner enjoy, thus weakening Bertha's arguments.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

4.62%

Explanation:

we need to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond:

YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / [(face value + market value)/2]

  • coupon = $50
  • face value = $1,000
  • market value = $1,078
  • n = 38 semiannual payments

YTM = [$50 + ($1,000 - $1,078)/38] / [($1,000 + $1,078)/2]

YTM = $47.95 / $1,039 = 4.615 ≈ 4.62%

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Salaries and wages payable...................Dr                    $20,000

                                      Salaries and wages expense                  $20,000

Explanation:

As per accrual system, an expense is incurred when it is accrued irrespective of when it is paid. So, $20,000 was accrued in December 31, salary and wages expenses would have been debited then amounting to $20,000.

In order to rectify the mistake of double counting, the entry passed by the accountant would be reversed to nullify the effect.

Adjusting Journal entry:

Particulars                                            Debit              Credit

Salaries and wages payable               $20,000

                 Salaries and wages expense                    $20,000

(Being double counting of salaries and

wages expense rectified)

Conventional wisdom says one should measure a manager's investment performance over an entire market cycle. What arguments suppo
White raven [17]

Answer:

In every form of analysis, it is always safer to take a macro or holistic view of the situation. This is true for the investment performance of a manager. One investment decision that went right does not suffice to classify an investment portfolio manager as proficient, neither is one that went south enough to tag him deficient.

The forecasting ability of managers, on the balance of probability, will vary for different cases, with a helicopter view of providing a more accurate measure of their performance.

However, if it was possible to analyse the market for volatility and adjust our forecasts it becomes unnecessary to look at and analyse all the information from a 12-month cycle before coming to terms about the performance of the manager.

Cheers!
