Now the firm has the opportunity to make a new investment that promises 20% return on invest capital. Which of the following statements is not correct?a.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The decision-making process followed by consumers assumes that consumers are rational beings who are trying to maximize their satisfaction using their limited income.  

So these consumers will consume the good or combination of goods that maximize their total utility derived from the consumption of these goods.

The consumers have limited income, they are aware of the marginal utility they derive from the consumption of an additional unit and they are also able to rank their preferences.

Ivanshal [37]

Options:

I because these securities are not registered with the SEC, such an offering would be illegal in the United States

II because the securities are not registered with the SEC, they can only be resold in the public markets if the company effects a registered primary distribution and is current in its SEC filings

III public resale of these securities can only occur if the customer holds the securities for 6 months "at risk" and then sells the securities in measured quantities

IV these securities can only be resold by the customer to underwriters that will buy the securities into their inventory and then register them with the SEC

Answer:

II because the securities are not registered with the SEC, they can only be resold in the public markets if the company effects a registered primary distribution and is current in its SEC filings

III public resale of these securities can only occur if the customer holds the securities for 6 months "at risk" and then sells the securities in measured quantities

Explanation:

Option I is wrong because this type of operations is completely legal, and they are called private placements.

Option IV is also wrong because the underwriters do not register the stocks with the SEC, the company must be public in order for it to be registered  and their stocks publicly traded.

Option II is correct because you can privately resell the stocks, but the market is very limited.

Option III is correct because if the company does turn public, then the investor must hold the stocks for 6 months "at risk" (no puts purchased) before being able to sell them on public markets.
