liberstina [14]

Answer:

this situation can be classified as an duopoly

Explanation:

An duopoly is similar to a monopoly but instead of only supplier there are two suppliers that share total market power and control. Both companies also offer basically the same product or service. Competition exists between the companies but it is not significant, both companies decide to coexist. Customers are forced to choose between one company or the other.

In this case, there are only two taxi companies and the customers really don't care what company they use since they both offer similar services. None of the companies even bothers to offer a better service to try to gain a larger market share.

Booker Corporation had the following comparative current assets and current liabilities: Dec. 31, 2017 Dec. 31, 2016 Current ass

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Liquidity measures for the year 2017 are as under:

Current Ratio = 1.5

Working Capital = $100,000

Acid Test Ratio = 0.95

Accounts Receivables Turnover = 10 times

Inventory turn over = 4 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 ÷ $200,000 $245,000 ÷ $155,000

Current Ratio 1.5 1.6

Working Capital

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 – $200,000 $245,000 – $155,000

Working Capital $100,000 $90,000

Acid Test Ratio

Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

($300,000 – $110,000) ÷ $200,000 ($245,000 – $90,000) ÷ $155,000

Acid Test Ratio 0.95 1.00

Accounts Receivables Turnover Times

Accounts Receivables Turnover = Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening Accounts Receivables + Closing Accounts Receivables) ÷ 2

Average Accounts Receivables = ($55,000 + $95,000) ÷ 2 = $75,000

Accounts Receivables Turnover = $750,000 ÷ $75,000 = 10 Times

Inventory Turnover Times

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory

Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) ÷ 2

Average Inventory = ($110,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2 = $100,000

Inventory Turnover = $400,000 ÷ $100,000 = 4 Times

Given the following information, determine the beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium: = 9.25%; rRF =

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium

Explanation:

According to Capital Asset Pricing Model, the formula to compute expected rate of return is equals to

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market risk - risk free rate of return)

where,

rRF = risk free rate of return

rM = market risk

Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium is expected rate of return which equals to = 9.25%

So,

9.25% = 3.6% + Beta × (8.5% - 3.6%)

9.25% = 3.6% + 4.9% Beta

9.25% - 3.6% = 4.9% Beta

5.65% = 4.9% Beta

Beta = 5.65% ÷ 4.9% = 1.15

Hence, the beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium is 1.15

Bad managerial judgments or unforeseen negative events that happen to a firm are defined as "company-specific," or "unsystematic

inysia [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Non-systematic risk, also known as "diversifiable risk", encompasses the set of factors of a company or industry, and that affect only the profitability of its stock or bond. For this reason they cannot be diversified.

In other words, the non-systematic risk arises from the uncertainty surrounding a company due to the development of its business, either due to the company's own circumstances or those of the sector to which it belongs. Examples of these events can be bad business results, the signing of a large contract, worse than expected sales data, a new product of the competition, discovery of fraud within the company, a bad management of its managers, etc.
