Answer:
D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.
Explanation:
The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.
<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>
According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.
This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.
The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.
By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.
You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
Answer:
236.23
Explanation:
The computation of X is shown below:-
As per the time-weighted method
The 6-month yield
= (40 ÷ 50) × (80 ÷ 60) × (157.50 ÷ 160) - 1
= 5%
Annual equivalent = (1.05)^2 - 1
= 10.25%
1 - year yield = (40 ÷ 50) × (80 ÷ 60) × (175 ÷ 160) × (X ÷ 250) - 1
= 0.1025
X(0.004667) = 1.1025
X = 236.23
Therefore on December 31st the value of account of X = 236.25

Business ethics is a system of ethical principles for acting fairly and honestly in the workplace and with customers and companies.
Answer:
a. Total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year = Direct labor hours for night lights + Direct labor hours for desk lamps
= 30,000*1/2 + 40,000*2
= 15,000 + 80,000
= 95,000 hours
b. Single plant-wide factory overhead rate using direct labor hours = Budgeted factory overhead / Budgeted factory hours
= $403,750 / 95,000 hours
= $4.25 per hour
c. Per unit factory overhead = Number of hours required to complete one unit * Factory overhead rate per hour
<u />
<u>Night light</u>
Per unit factory overhead = 0.5 * 4.25
Per unit factory overhead = $2.125 per unit
<u>Desk lamp</u>
Per unit factory overhead = 2 * 4.25
Per unit factory overhead = $8.50 per unit
