Answer:

b) surplus; shortage; up; fall

Explanation:

If the bond market and money market start out at equillibrum, and money supply is increased there will be an excess (surplus) of money over bonds.

That is more money to buy less bonds. The relative scarcity of bonds will result in a shortage (bond supply cannot meet demand).

As a result of the shortage price of bonds will increase because more people are looking for the scarce bonds.

Price of bonds has an inverse relationship with interest. As price increases interest rates will fall.

For example consider a zero coupon bond of $1,000, being sold for low price of $850. On maturity it will yield gain of $150.

If the price rises to $950 the yield will only be $50.

So as price increases and interest (yield) decreases, it will no more be attractive to investors and demand will reduce to meet the available supply of bonds.

Infinity Clock Company prepared the following static budget for the​ year: Static Budget ​Units/Volume 5 comma 000 Per Unit Sale
aalyn [17]

Answer:

a) Operating income - $33,800

Explanation:

<em>The flexible budget would be prepared for  a different activity level of 6,300 production units but using the assumptions of the fixed budget</em>

                                                                               $

Sales revenue - ($7× 6,300 units  )   :             44,100.00

Less Variable cost -      ($1 ×  6,300 units ) :      <u>( 6,300)</u>

Contribution                                                       37,800

Less Fixed costs                                                <u>(4,000)</u>

                                                                             <u>33,800</u>

<em>Note that the fixed costs of $4000 remains the same for both the static and flexible budgets. This is because the activity level of 6,300 units of the flexible budget remains within relevant range. So the fixed cost would not change.</em>

Is the cost of equity calculated from the CAPM model, pre -tax or post-tax?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The existence of pre-tax cost of debt and post-tax cost of debt is due to the acknoledgement of the tax benefit from issuing debt.There is no tax benefit from paying divdends,so it makes no sense talking about pre-tax,post-tax cost of equity for a firm.When you think about cash flow to equity you can only assume that the taxes owed by the company have already been paid.Now, the taxation over the income of the shareholder is a whole different issue that does not take place in this discussion,since it is not taken in consideration either in cost of equity or cost of debt.
