The answer is selling Treasury bills, which decreases bank reserves. The government securities that are used in open market processes are Treasury bills, notes or bonds.

Answer:

The correct answer is Product adaptation.

Explanation:

Product adaptation is the process by which it is modified so that it is well received by different customers or markets. An adaptation strategy is particularly important for companies that export their products, as they ensure that they meet the cultural and legislative demands of the country they are targeting.

Adaptation is also important for companies that want to introduce new products into new markets but do not have enough resources or means to develop completely new items.

a lawnmower manufacturer has the following loss distribution for its annual products liability costs: loss probability 250,000 0

Bas_tet [7]

Answer: $12,000

Explanation:

The question makes no sense in one area. The loss probability for $0 cannot be 90% because the other two are collectively 20%. I shall therefore assume that the loss probability for $0 is 80% so that they add up to 100%.

Expected claim cost = ∑[loss probability * (Loss - Deductible)]

= 0.9 * 0 + [0.15 * (10,000 - 10,000)] + [0.05 * (250,000 - 10,000)]

= $12,000

Answer:

Based on the DuPont equation and given information, ROE of Harrington Inc is 13.818%.

Explanation:

We have to find the total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc in order to apply the DuPont equation for finding ROE because net income, sales of Harrington Inc. are already given.

- To find Harrington Inc's total debt, apply the Debt-to-capital formula: The Harrington Inc's total debt/The Harrington Inc's total capital = 45% => Harrington Inc's total debt = The Harrington Inc's total capital * 45% = $250,000 x 45% = $112,500;

- To find Harrington Inc's total equity, apply the accounting equation Asset = Liabilities + Owner's Equity: The Harrington Inc's total equity = The Harrington Inc's total asset - The Harrington Inc's total debt = $250,000 - $112,500 = $137,500;

- Using the Dupont equation, calculate the ROE as followed:

(NI/Sales)* (Sales/ Total assets) * (Total assets/ Total common equity) = (19,000/325,000) * ( 325,000/ 250,000) * (250,000/137,500) = 13.818%.

- Thus, the ROE = 13.818%.
