Answer: D) economies of scale.

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to when an entity is able to reduce its total costs as quantities of the good causing the costs increase.

Financial Intermediaries such as Commercial banks, Mutual funds, Investment banks etcetera have a lot of funds available for trade which they use to execute large trades. As a result, the costs on average are lower or them per transaction as opposed to traders executing with lower volumes.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

sales are becoming less seasonal

Explanation:

besides constructing a pie chart, we can also answer this question by percentages (which is more exact).

2012:

total sales = $69,338

Q1 sales = $10,613 / $69,338 = 15.31%

Q2 sales = $6,424 / $69,338 = 9.26%

Q3 sales = $19,283 / $69,338 = 27.81%

Q4 sales = $33,019 / $69,338 = 47.68%

2013:

total sales = $142,238

Q1 sales = $30,342 / $142,238 = 21.33%

Q2 sales = $33,867 / $142,238 = 23.81%

Q3 sales = $34,246 / $142,238 = 24.08%

Q4 sales = $43,783 / $142,238 = 30.78%

During 2012, almost 50% of total sales happened during Q4, something similar to selling toys which are extremely seasonal due to Christmas.

During 2013, this changed since Q4 sales only represent 30% of total sales. Sales increased during Q1 and Q2, and slightly decreased in Q3. They are much more similar now, since sales are almost evenly spread throughout the year.

If the inflation rate decreased from 3.33% to 2.90% between October and November, while the nominal interest rate increased from

Rudiy27

Answer:

1.90%

Explanation:

There is the accordance or connection between nominal and real interest rates. It is basically possible to convert from nominal interest rates to real interest rates. According to the Fisher, there is a equation that's called the Fisher Equation:

Real interest rate ≈ nominal interest rate − inflation rate.

On our example,

Inflation rate in October- 3.33%

Inflation rate in November- 2.90%

Nominal interest rate in October- 4.75%

Nominal interest rate in November- 4.80%

In October,

Real interest rate=4.75%-3.33%=1.42%

In November,

Real interest rate=4.80%-2.90%=1.90%

As a result, we see that there is 1.90% real interest rate in November and the real interest rate has increased 0.48% in November compared to October.

Dividend yield = Dividends per share (DPS) ÷ Market price per share (MPS) = $2.05 ÷ $65.55 = 0.0313, or 3.13%.
