Martha B's has total assets of $1,810. These assets are expected to increase in value to either $1,900 or $2,400 by next year. T
Blababa [14]

Answer:

$7.24

Explanation:

PV at the risk free rate = $1,900 / (1 + 0.055)

PV at the risk free rate = $1,900 / 1.055

PV at the risk free rate = $1,800.95

Number of options needed = (2,400 - 1,900) / (400 - 0)

Number of options needed = 500 / 400

Number of options needed = 1.25

Total assets = (No of options needed*Value of equity) +  Present value at the risk free rate. Let Value of equity be C0

$1,810 = (1.25*C0) + $1,800.95

$1,810 - $1,800.95 = 1.25*C0

C0 = $9.05 / 1.25

C0 = $7.24

So, the Value of equity in this firm is $7.24.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

As the $3,000 is unrecaptured losses, it will be carried forward to this year and would be set off against the current year's capital gains.

Explanation:

The previous year unrecaptured loss of $3000 will carried forward and would be set off against the capital gains of $12,000. The gain for the year can be calculated as under:

Capital Gain for the year = Gain Before unrecaptured losses   -  Carried Forward Losses

By putting values, we have:

Capital Gain for the year = $12,000  -  $3,000 = $9,000

The resultant $9,000 would be the capital gain for the year.

Which of the following statements about Treasury bonds is the most accurate? Treasury bonds are completely riskless. Treasury bo
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1. Treasury bonds are not completely riskless, since their prices will decline when interest rates rise.

2. Walmart

3. Corporate bonds

Explanation:

1. Indeed even though Treasury bonds have a very low risk rating, they are not completely risk-less. They have a very low risk rating because they will always be honoured (US T - bonds that is) and so that eliminates the default risk. However, they are still exposed to maturity risk as well as inflation risk for the most part. This means that as interest rates rise therefore, their prices drop making them just a little but risky.

2. Walmart issued the bonds making them the issuer. The rest of the names are Underwriters.

3. Since the bonds were issued by a Corporation being Walmart, the bonds are Corporate Bonds.

Ede4ka [16]

Factories in Country A can produce the same number of tablets as factories in Country B, or the factories in Country A could be used to build more laptops than the factories in Country B is an example of comparative advantage in an international market.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The comparative advantage of manufacturing a good or service is smaller than that of other nations. Opportunity cost compensation measures.  

A country with a comparative advantage pays off. The benefits of buying are higher than the drawbacks.  

Perhaps the nation isn't the best producer. But for other countries, good or service costs are low.

For Example, Call centers in India. U.S. businesses buy the service because the location of the call center in America is cheaper. Call centers in India are no different than U.S. call centers. Their employees don't always talk very clearly in English. Nonetheless, they offer the service inexpensive enough to make the deal worthwhile.
