Business
1 answer:
Pavel [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. New applications for unemployment insurance

D. Stock prices

Explanation:

Unemployment benefits claims is one of the most powerful leading economic indicators, because it can predict, with a high degree of accuracy, the unemployment rate of the next economic periods.

Stock prices are also included in the index of leading economic indicators, more specifically, the Stock Prices of the S&P 500. Stock prices are a leading indicator because investors try to carefully invest in those companies they feel will have a good performance in both the short-term and the long-term.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$600 million

Explanation:

On January 1, 2020, the balance of common stock & APIC

Common stock & APIC = Paid-In Capital + Share Capital raised by issuing 50 million shares at $20 per share - Treasury Stock

Here

Paid-In Capital is $500 millions

Issue of 50 million shares at $20

Treasury Stock is 20 million shares at $45 per share

By putting the values, we have:

Common stock & APIC = $500 million + $1000 million - (20 million shares * $45 per share)

Common stock & APIC = $1500 millions - $900 million = $600 million

5 An insured has four separate but identical policies written by different insurers to cover her $100,000 building. Each policy
qaws [65]

Answer:

each policy will pay $25,000 of the loss

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the each policy will pay $25,000 of the loss. This is an equal share for each policy and is due to them having the pro rata liability clause. This clause states that a policy is only liable for an equal percentage of the loss if the insurer has other policies from other companies. As in this case.

Jack corp. Has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, total asset turnover of 2.3, and roe of 19.64 percent. What is this firm's debt-e
anygoal [31]

Answer: Jack Corp's D/E ratio is 0.67.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

We begin with the DuPont Identity for Return on Equity (RoE)

RoE = Net Profit Margin * Asset turnover Ratio * Equity Multiplier

Substituting the values from the question in the DuPont identity we get,

0.1964 = 0.051 * 2.3 * Equity Multiplier

Equity Multiplier = \frac{0.1964}{0.051*2.3}

Equity Multiplier = 1.674339301


Equity Multiplier = \frac{Total Assets }{Equity}

So,

\frac{1}{Equity multiplier} =\frac{Equity}{Total Assets}

Substituting the value of equity multiplier in the formula above we get,

\frac{Equity}{Total Assets} = 0.597250509

Now,

\frac{Equity}{Total Assets} + \frac{Debt}{Total Assets} =1

So,

\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 1 - \frac{Equity}{Total Assets}

\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 1 - 0.597250509


\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 0.402749491


Now that we have the proportions of debt and equity to total assets, we can  find the Debt Equity (D/E) ratio as follows:

\frac{D}{E} = \frac{\frac{Debt}{Total Assets}}{\frac{Equity}{Total Assets}}

Substituting the values we get,

\frac{D}{E} = \frac{0.402749491
}{0.597250509
}

\frac{D}{E} = 0.674339301

Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 14% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For nominal yield to maturity

Given that

NPER = 9 × 2 = 18

PMt = $1,000 ×14% ÷ 2 = $70

PV  = -$1,300

FV = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 9.05%

For nominal yield to call

Given that

NPER = 6 × 2 = 18

PMt = $1,000 ×14% ÷ 2 = $70

PV  = -$1,300

FV = $1,060

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the yield to call is 8.34%

As the yield to maturity is more than the yield to call so the bond would be likely to called
