Answer:

The correct option is D,the markets for bonds of different maturities are separate or segmented

Explanation:

Market segmentation theory is of the view that market for short-term and long-term bonds are segmented from each other,wherein investors with different preferences investing in different markets.

Banks for instance are short-term position takers due to their preference for liquidity and would favor investing short-term instruments like the 3-month Treasury bill such that at every point in time, there is enough cash liquidity to meet customers' request for withdrawal of funds.

On the flip side, pension fund administrators take a long-term position on investment, hence would prefer the 30-year Treasury bill since their payment of retirement benefits is usually a low portion of their total contributions received from contributors to their pension funds.

                                  Beginning Inventory        Ending Inventory

Raw material                      52,000                            62,000

The explanation to the answer is as follows:

Beginning inventory of finished goods + Units of finished goods manufactured = Ending inventory of finished goods  + Units of finished goods sold

Units of finished goods manufactured = Ending inventory of finished goods  + Units of finished goods sold  - Beginning inventory of finished goods

Therefore, we have:

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

104,000

Explanation:

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter is shown below:-

Particulars                                                    Shares

Proceeds from exercise of options a         $126,000

(18,000 × $7)

Used to repurchase of common stock b    $14,000

( $126,000 ÷ $9)

Number of shares if option is exercised c  18,000

Less: Shares assume repurchased d           14,000

Potential Diluted common shares (e = c-d)  4,000

Add: Number of common shares f               100,000

Number of shares diluted earning per share 104,000

(e + f)

So, to reach the Number of shares diluted earning per share we simply add number of number of common shares with potential diluted common shares.
