Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Strong form.

Explanation:

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is the theory that beating the market is impossible because current stock prices reflect all the information investors need to trade the markets. Technical and fundamental analysis remain useless in trying to predict future price action.

The EMH could be classified as the <em>Weak, Strong, </em>and <em>Semi-Strong EMH</em>. The strong form of the EMH establishes that insider information and public information are already in the current stock price, then, there is no special data that could provide an advantage to an investor to take advantage of the market.

In such a case,<em> the strong form of the EMH is opposed to the idea given in the example since it is proposing insider information gives employees an advantage to make large profits before the information of trial drugs is spread among the public.</em>

NISA [10]
Early accounts of ethnic groups and their cultures and habits came from scientific travelers like George M. Dawson who became director of the Geological Survey of Canada.

Locus Company has total fixed costs of $118,000. Its product sells for $55 per unit and variable costs amount to $39 per unit. N
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

8,850 units

Explanation:

We know that

Net income = Unit sales × (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) - Fixed cost

$23,600 = Unit sales × ($55 - $39) - $118,000

$23,600 = Unit sales × $16 - $118,000

$23,600 +$118,000 = $16 unit sales

So, unit sales = 8,850 units

The net income is computed below:

= Given percentage × Total fixed cost

= 20% × $118,000

= $23,600

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: b. Its quick ratio decreases.

Explanation:

The Quick ratio is calculated net of inventory to determine if a company can cover its current liabilities with its more liquid current assets. The formula is to subtract Inventory from the Current Assets and then divided that by the Currency liabilities.

The Quick ratio will be less than before because the number of current assets will not change but the amount of current liabilities will change as the goods were purchased on credit. With a larger denominator, the resultant ratio will be less than before.

spayn [35]

Answer:

$1,069.74

Explanation:

We use the present value formula which is shown in the attachment below:

Data provided in the question

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 12%

NPER = 16 years

PMT = $1,000 × 13% = $130

The formula is shown below:

So, after solving this, the value of the bond is $1,069.74
