Answer:
The answer is: C) Investment spending by businesses varies inversely with the interest rate.
Explanation:
This statement is true all the time. When a company evaluates the costs and benefits of an investment, interest rate plays a fundamental part in those calculations. The two basic reasons for that are:
- The higher the interest rate a company (or any individual) has to pay for a loan, the harder it is for the company to repay the loan.
- The interest rate a bank charges is usually correlated to the opportunity cost of an investment. The higher the interest rates banks charge, the higher the internal rate of return (which is used to calculate the Net Present Value of an investment) will be. This is because banks don´t print money, they take in deposits and then they loan the money the someone else. So if the interest rate the bank charges is high, usually the interest rates the bank pays for the deposits is also high. Instead of investing, a company might just put their money on the bank and earn a better return rate.

Answer:
a) Share price of company is $28.20.
b) So value of unlevered firm is $4.512 million.
Explanation:
a.
Share price = Value of debt / (160,000 - 110,000)
= $1,410,000 / 50,000
= $28.20
Share price of company is $28.20.
b.
VAlue of all equity firm = Number of share outstanding × Price per share
= 160,000 × $28.20
= $4.512 million
Value of levered firm is $4.512 million.
Since tax rate is zero, so value of levered firm equal to value of unlevered firm.
So value of unlevered firm is $4.512 million.
Answer: a. U.S. Treasuries with 1 year to maturity
Explanation:
The Government guaranteed the price of the carbon and the payoff is to be one year later.
The opportunity cost will therefore be a similar Government security to the payoff term of the carbon sale which is 1 year.
The Government security with a similar payoff term is the US Treasury bill with 1 year left till maturity and this will be the opportunity cost because instead of the Government issuing and paying out that security they will instead pay for the carbon.

D. continuous review system
Explanation:
In the context of manufacturing it seems that the system being described would be a continuous review system. Like mentioned in the question this is a system that automatically adjusts the stock level in real time when a product moves in or out of stock, and automatically triggers an order for more stock as soon as the stock level hits a low quantity point is hit.
