Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

Explanation:

The profit-maximizing level of output for every type of firm is reached when the marginal revenue of production equals the marginal cost meaning that the additional cost of selling one more unit equals the cost of producing one more unit.

Marginal costs vary according to changes in production. Because of that, managers must identify when those events happen to calculate the profit margin (percentage sales that are converted into profits) of the firm to avoid losses.

Answer:

1. Based on my understanding of P/E ratios, in which of the following situations would the average trailing P/E ratio (current price divided by earnings per share over the previous 12 months) of the S&P 500 Index be higher?

Th e correct option is (b). The outlook for the economy and the markets is for improvement.

2. You invest $100,000 in 40 stocks, 20 bonds, and a certificate of deposit (CD). What kind of risk will you primarily be exposed to?

Th e correct option is (b). Portfolio risk

3. Generally, investors would prefer to invest in assets that have:

a. A higher-than-average expected rate of return given the perceived risk

Explanation:

Th e correct option is (b). The outlook for the economy and the markets is for improvement. If the outlook of the economy and the market prospects of the stocks are for improvements, it then means that the Price Per Earning of the stock will be increasing, which is a positive economic trend.

Moreover, since we are talking about the average P/E it can be inferred that in the very long run, average of the S&P 500 Price to Earnings (PE) ratio (since 1900) is approximately 15.8, and the ratio since 1946 (the post-World War II period) is 17.3, so, it is fair to call a "normal" PE ratio about 16.5, which is relatively stable over the years.

2. You invest $100,000 in 40 stocks, 20 bonds, and a certificate of deposit (CD). What kind of risk will you primarily be exposed to?

Th e correct option is (b). Portfolio risk is the chance that the combination of assets or units, within the investments that you own, fail to meet financial objectives. Each investment within a portfolio carries its own risk, with higher potential return typically meaning higher risk. It can be computed as the risk of the two-securities portfolio, first take the square of the weight of 40 Stocks ($100,000.00) and multiply it by square of standard deviation of the 40 stocks. Repeat the calculation for 20 Bonds and a Certificate of Deposit.

3. Generally, investors would prefer to invest in assets that have:

a. A higher-than-average expected rate of return given the perceived risk Yes they will because a higher -than average expected rate of return will inform the investor the type of strategies to adopt to guarantee the expected earnings containing the risk.

On January 1, 2014, Fishbone Corporation sold a building that cost $260,300 and that had accumulated depreciation of $105,700 on

Drupady [299]

Answer:

1. The amount of gain should be reported: $37,983

2. The answer is $291,131

Explanation:

The actual consideration's receipt is the present value of the cash flow from the note which is calculated as 249,400 / ( 1+9%)^3 = $192,582.5599

The Net book value of asset = Original cost - accumulated depreciation = 260,300 - 105,700 = $154,600

=> Gain on sales = $192,582.5599 - $154,600 = $37,983

To determine the amount needs to paid out for the purchase, determine the price per stock first.

The stock price will be determined as the present value of cash flows from bonds, discounted at yield to maturity.

We have: Annual coupon payment = 1,000 x 9% = $90

=> Stock price = (90/11%) x ( 1 - 1.11^-10) + 1,000/1.11^10 = 882.21536

=> Amount need to be paid for the purchase = stock price x bond purchased = 882.21536 x 330 = $291,131
