Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cartel

It is important to define a cartel before explaining the question. A Cartel represents a group of firms that come together for making price and output decisions about their products.

Monopoly is one of the main reasons for the rise of Cartels. Cartel members are organisations in markets where there are very few firms and each firm has a significant share of the markets. An example of this is the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

The Petroleum market is monopolistic in the sense that a few countries are responsible for the crude oil and related products that are used by all countries around the world, hence, OPEC was formed to regulate the actions; production level and price of the Oil produced and processed for regulatory purposes.

Why it is difficult to maintain Cartel Agreements

It is difficult to maintain cartel agreements because individual members will always attempt to cheat and by-pass the agreement to produce beyond the agreed quota just to increase their share of the cartel's profits.

Individual members can always produce above their quota to take advantage of the large market and monopolistic situation to make more monopoly profit.

This difficulty is one of the reasons why there are few Cartels available and it is also why the OPEC has had difficulties monitoring the activities of its members over the years.

At a large department store, the number of years of employment for a cashier is a normally distributed variable with a mean of 5
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

0.0084

Explanation:

For this probability problem, we will have to make use of the normal probability distribution table.

to use the table, we will have to compute a certain value

z = (x- mean) /Standard deviation

z = \frac{(10 - 5.7)}{1.8} = 2.39

Probability he has worked in the store for over 10 years can be obtained by taking the z value of 2.39 to the normal probability distribution table to read off the values.

<em>To do this, on the  "z" column, we scan down the value 2.3. we then trace that row until we reach the value under the ".09" column. </em>

This gives us 0.99916

Thus we have P (Z < 2.39) = 0.9916

We subtract the value obtained from the table from 1 to get the probability required.

1 - 0.9916 = 0.0084

The Probability that the employee has worked at the store for over 10 years = 0.0084

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.57 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.20, $2.31, $2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Answer:

Growth rate (g) = n-1√(<u>Latest dividend)</u>     - 1

                                      Current  dividend

                          = 4-1√($2.49/2.20)   -1  

                         = 3√(1.1318)  -1  

                        = 1.04  -  1

                        = 0.04 = 4%

Ke = Do<u>(1 + g) </u>  +  g

               Po

Ke =  $2.57(<u>1  +  0.04</u>)  + 0.04

                         65

Ke = 0.04 + 0.04

Ke = 0.08 = 8%

Explanation:

In this  case, we need to calculate the growth rate using the above formula. Then, the cost of equity will be  calculated. Cost of equity is a function of current dividend paid subject to growth rate divided by current market price.

In each of the following situations, state whether the bonds will sell at a premium or discount. Required a. Valley issued $300,
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

a. Premium

b. Discount

c. Discount

Explanation:

a. Valley issued $300,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 7 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 7% - 6% = 1% premium

Therefore, Valley's bond will sell at a premium.

b. Spring issued $220,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount

Therefore, Spring's bond will sell at a discount.

c. River Inc. issued $150,000 of callable bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. The bonds were callable at 102. At the date of issue, the market rate of interest was 6 percent for similar investments.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount

Therefore, River Inc.'s bond will sell at a discount.
