Answer:

$42,500

Explanation:

Red carpet had retained earnings of $537,500 and a net income of $135,000

On the previous balance sheet the retained earnings that was reported was $445,000

The first step is to calculate the change in retained earnings

= $537,500-$445,000

= $92,500

Therefore the amount of dividend paid by the firm can be calculated as follows

=Net income-change in retained earnings

= $135,000-$92,500

= $42,500

Hence the dividend paid by the firm during 2019 is $42,500

Answer: positive cross elasticity of demand.

   

Explanation: In simple words, cross elasticity refers to the degree of change in the demand of a good with respect to change in the price of another goods.

In case of substitute goods, one good can easily be used in the place of another good. Thus, if the price of one good increases the demand for its substitute good also increases.

Hence from the above we can conclude that substitute goods have positive cross elasticity.

<span>The above scenarios is an example of PHISHING, a category of social engineering.

Phishing is defined as an attempt to get confidential information like credit card details, usernames and passwords by presenting itself as a trusted entity in an electronic communication. 

A lot of phishing incidents have already been happening in the real world and lots of money from bank accounts have been stolen because the thief will then assume the electronic identity of the owner and make unauthorized transactions. </span>

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60

B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40

What is one example of a planned economy?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

socialist economy

Explanation:

A planned economy is a system where the government or the central authority makes all major economic decisions. The government decides on the type and quantities of goods to produce and for whom to produce. In the planned economy, factors of production belong to the government. Manufacture of goods and services is motivated by service to the community, not profits.

A socialist economy is a good example of a planned economy. Just like in a planned economy, a socialist economy is characterized by heavy government involvement. The state controls the factors of production. Public service is the reason for economic production, while consumers do not have the liberty to choose products.
