Answer:

Basket purchases.

Explanation:

Basket purchases is a term used for buying multiple fixed assets. It is bought as the price for basket purchases is lower than the price for individual asset. The transactions in the basket purchases are accounted for by using the relative sales value method to calculate unit purchase cost. It is calculated by dividing each sales value of product by the total sales value of all the product.

What are the cons of using new residential sales/new home sales as a economic indicator?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.

The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.

Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.

Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.

Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.

The price of gold is currently $1,400 per ounce. The forward price for delivery in one year is$1,500. An arbitrageur can borrow

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

Explanation:

Current price of gold=$1,400 per ounce

Forward price=$1,500

The arbitrageur can either pay the forward price or borrow $1400 and pay the interest of 4% in a year. Consider option 1 paying the forward price of 1500

Option 1

Since there are no additional costs, the total cost for buying the gold=forward price=$1,500

Option 2

If the arbitrageur borrows the 1400 to pay for the gold now, then pay the interest in 1 year;

The total cost=Amount borrowed+interest accrued in 1 year

Total cost=1400+(4%×1400)

1400+((4/100)×1400)

1400+56=$1456

Since there are no additional costs, option 2=$1456

If we compare option 1 to option 2, we notice that option 2 is slightly cheaper than option 1 by $44

(Option 1-Option 2)=(1500-1456)=$44

The arbitrageur should borrow money at 4% per annum since it is cheaper than paying the forward price for delivery

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Explanation:

Given:

Retained earnings = $2.7 million

Common shares account = $4.7 million

Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million

Stock dividend = 10%

Find:

Changes in account.

Computation:

1. Change in retained earnings

Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

2. Change in common shares account

Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)

Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

3. Change in additional paid-in capital

Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
