Answer:
D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.
Explanation:
Firms competing in perfectly competitive markets are price takers, meaning that they cannot set the price of their products or services, but monopolists can actually set the price of their products or services because their market power is high enough to do so. Also, a monopolist can choose to lower or increase its output depending on the resulting profits.
This excessive market power is the reason why natural monopolies are usually regulated by the governments and many monopolistic firms are forced to split into smaller firms that compete against each other.
Answer: $1,212,000 or $1.212 million
Explanation:
To calculate the dollars’ worth of the index the manager should sell in the futures market to minimize the volatility of her position, we can use the following formula,
Dollar worth of index to sell = Value of the Portfolio * Portfolio Beta
Dollar worth of index to sell = 1,200,000 * 1.01
Dollar worth of index to sell = $1,212,000
The manager should sell $1,212,000 worth of the index in the futures market to minimize the volatility of her position.
Answer:higher real interest rate discourages current consumption and higher real interest rate encourages more saving.
Explanation:The supply curve is a graphic representation of the correlation between the cost of a good or service and the quantity supplied for a given period. In a typical illustration, the price will appear on the left vertical axis, while the quantity supplied will appear on the horizontal axis.
Our measure of credit demand is an indicator variable for a firm's need for bank loans decreasing during the period. We measure credit supply using information on whether a firm's loan application was rejected, or the firm received less than 75% of its desired amount.
Credit supply curve is a curve that plots the quantity of credit supplied at different real interest rates.
Answer:
$410,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory under the LIFO method is shown below:
= Year end cost + difference of amount × price level index
where,
Year end cost = Beginning cost
Difference of amount = $400,000 - $300,000 = $100,000
Price level index = $440,000 ÷ $400,000 = 1.1
So, the inventory cost is
= $300,000 + $100,000 × 1.1
= $300,000 + $110,000
= $410,000
Answer:
Option B fits perfectly,$1.61
Explanation:
Basis earnings per share is the total earnings attributable to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common stock in the year.
Earnings attributable to common is net income minus preferred stock dividends
Net income is $361,000
preferred stock dividend=20,100*$1.70=$ 34,170.00
earnings attributable to common stock=$361,000-$ 34,170=$ 326,830
Weighted average number of common stock is 203,000 shares
basic earnings per share= $326,830/203,000=$1.61
The correct option is B,$1.61
