Answer:
a. Incremental analysis.
b. Sunk cost.
c. Relevant information.
d. Opportunity cost.
e. Joint products.
f. Out-of-pocket cost.
g. Split-off point.
Explanation:
a. Incremental analysis: examination of differences between costs to be incurred and revenue to be earned under different courses of action.
b. Sunk cost: a cost incurred in the past that cannot be changed as a result of future actions. Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered.
c. Relevant information: costs and revenue that are expected to vary, depending on the course of action decided on. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
d. Opportunity cost: the benefit foregone by not pursuing an alternative course of action. Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.
e. Joint products: products made from common raw materials and shared production processes.
f. Out-of-pocket cost: a cost yet to be incurred that will require future payment and may vary among alternative courses of action.
g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.

Companies will move overseas to escape unions and hire cheaper labor.
Answer: "e. None of the answers above is correct."
Explanation: 1) If a bond sells for less than par, its yield at maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
2) If a bond sells at par, its current yield will be the same as its yield at maturity.
3) A bond selling for more than par will always have a lower capital gain than a par bond.
4) Both Incorrect.
Answer:
(a) $18,000
(b) $3,600
Explanation:
(a) Profit would be:
= (No. of shares × Undervalued) - (No. of shares × Overvalued)
= (1,800 × $16) - (1,800 × $6)
= $28,800 - $10,800
= $18,000
(b) Only half your order will be filled.
With rationing (and being an uninformed investor) we expect our profits:
= (No. of shares × Undervalued) - (No. of shares × Overvalued)
= (900 × $16) - (1,800 × $6)
= $14,400 - $10,800
= $3,600
