Answer:
D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.
Explanation:
The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.
<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>
According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.
This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.
The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.
By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.
You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
Answer: $186,000
Explanation:
January is the 2nd month from November which means that all of November's $31,000 will be collected in January.
January is the first month after December so 30% of December sales should be collected in January. 50% has already been collected in December and this left $50,000.
Total credit sales in December must have been:
= 50,000 / 50%
= $100,000
Amount to be collected in January for December:
= 100,000 * 30%
= $30,000
Amount to be collected from January credit sales:
= 50% * 150,000
= $75,000
January cash sales = $50,000
Total cash in January :
= 31,000 + 30,000 + 75,000 + 50,000
= $186,000
In order to figure out this you would take the original balance
$120.70 and add the paycheck $343.52
from there you would then minus the City payment of $53.90 and minus the internet payment of $86.40
This would leave you with $323.96
Hope This helps :)
Answer:
a)
<em>The value added at each stage</em>
Stage Value added($)
1 1000
2 (2000-1000) = 1,000
3 (6,000- 2000) = 4,000
4 (10,000 - 6,000) = 4,000
b)
The amount by GDP is increased = $10,000
c) Reduce GDP
Explanation:
Gross domestic product (GDP) which is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced in a country over a given period of time. The GDP can be calculated using the value added approach.
Here the GPD figure is ascertained by summing the amount of additional value created by each factor of production at each stage of the production process of the final product.
a)
<em>The value added at each stage</em>
Stage Value added($)
1 1000
2 (2000-1000) = 1,000
3 (6,000- 2000) = 4,000
4 (10,000 - 6,000) = 4,000
b)
The amount by GDP is increased = $10,000 which is the total value added or the market value of the final goods
c)
If the lumber were imported it would be deducted from the value of export and thus reduce GDP. Remember that GDP is the market value of all good and service produced within a given country over certain period of time .
