Answer:

Firm A should accept the project beacause it has high required rate of return which means low risk involved.

Explanation:

Rate of return = risk free return + Beta ( market risk premium)

Firm A

rate of return = 0.045 + 1.2 (0.07)

= 0.045 + 0.084

= 12.9%

Firm B ;

 rate of return = 0.045 + 0.9(0.07)

= 0.045 + 0.063

= 10.8%

The graph above shows how the price of video games varies with the demand quantity. Suppose that the price of video games is set
ira [324]
Price floor.
A floor, in real life, is at the bottom, below you — this then makes sense in business to say that a ‘floor’ represents the minimum value of something — in this case the price of video games.
In real life, a ceiling is above you, indicating that it could be used as a representative of a maximum value of something, like the price of a video game.

So, if we were to say that $120 was the ‘price ceiling’ for video games, then we would basically be saying that $120 is the most a video game could cost. If we were to say that $100 was the ‘price floor’ for video games, we would be saying that $100 is the minimum value that the price of a video game could assume.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

$5.31

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding

<em>where,</em>

<u>Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :</u>

Net Income                                                                       $650,000

Less Preference Stock dividend                                       ($71,000)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock      $579,000

<em>and</em>

<u>Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :</u>

Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding                                  100,000

Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2)                                9,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding    109,000

therefore,

Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷  109,000

                                = $5.31

The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.

Answer:

I.It's easier to purchase affordable insurance during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market

I only

Explanation:

When a purchaser of insurance wants to make a purchase he analyses the market to get a favourable condition that reduces risk and loss.

The market condition can be a soft market or hard market.

Soft market is one in which potential sellers are more than potential buyers. So supply exceeds demand. Buyers are able to buy affordable insurance.

Hard market on the other hand is when there is an upswing in market cycle. Premiums increase and capacity for insurance decreases.

It is more difficult to get affordable insurance in this market

Henrietta, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into
klio [65]

Answer:

Total deduction for the year = $48,956

Explanation:

You can deduct investigation expenses but only for new business that is in the same industry as your current business. In this case, Henrietta incurred in $42,500 expenses trying to expand her hotel business. Total deduction for the current year = $42,500.

If the investigation expenses are not related to your current business, e.g. restaurants, then you can capitalize the costs and amortize them only if you actually carried out the expansion.

You can deduct up to $5,000 during the first year but this amount decreases by $1 for every dollar above $50,000. Total immediate deduction = $4,400. The remaining $46,200 must be amortized over 180 months. Amortization per month = $46,200 / 180 = $257

Total amortization for year 1 = 8 months x $257 = $2,056

Total deduction for the year = $42,500 + $4,400 + $2,056 = $48,956
