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.

Sergio039 [100]

The United steelworkers of America adopted an elaborate form of interest arbitration, known as the Experimental Negotiating Agreement, in the 1970s as a means of avoiding the long and costly strikes that had made the industry vulnerable to foreign competition.

When two or more parties must decide together yet have differing preferences, they try to negotiate a compromise. In order to strike a compromise when you and the other side have both similar and divergent interests, you and the other side must communicate back and forth.

The United Steelworkers is a general trade organization with members all over North America. It represents workers in the steel, paper, rubber, manufacturing, energy, and allied industrial and service sectors.

The following information relates to last year's operations at the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation:
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The Legume Division's net operating income last year was d. $45,000

Explanation:

Turnover (on operating assets) = Total Sales/ Operating assets

From the formula,

Operating assets = Total Sales/Turnover (on operating assets) = $900,000/3 = $300,000

Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:

ROI = Net income/Total investment

Net Income = ROI x Total investment

At the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation, Total investment  = Operating assets = $300,000

Net Income = 15% x $300,000 = $45,000

During a certain six-year period, the consumer price index (CPI) increased by 50%, but during the next sis-year period, it incre
liberstina [14]

Answer:

D. Deflation

Explanation:

"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>

"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.

In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>

So, this explains the answer.

Raggs, Ltd. a clothing​ firm, determines that in order to sell x​ suits, the price per suit must be p=120 - 0.5 x. It also deter
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A) R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) 80

D) 2300

E) 80

Explanation:

Given the following :

Price of suit 'x' :

p = 120 - 0.5x

Cost of producing 'x' suits :

C(x)=2500 + 0.25 x^2

A) calculate total revenue 'R(x)'

Total Revenue = price × total quantity sold, If total quantity sold = 'x'

R(x) = (120 - 0.5x) * x

R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) Total profit, 'p(x)'

Profit = Total revenue - Cost of production

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (120x - 0.5x^2) - (2500 + 0.25x^2)

P(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2 - 2500 - 0.25x^2

P(x) = - 0.5x^2 - 0.25x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) To maximize profit

Find the marginal profit 'p' (x)'

First derivative of p(x)

d/dx (p(x)) = - 2(0.75)x + 120

P'(x) = - 1.5x + 120

-1.5x + 120 = 0

-1.5x = - 120

x = 120 / 1.5

x = 80

D) maximum profit

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(80) = - 0.75(80)^2 + 120(80) - 2500

= -0.75(6400) + 9600 - 2500

= -4800 + 9600 - 2500

= 2300

E) price per suit in other to maximize profit

P = 120 - 0.5x

P = 120 - 0.5(80)

P = 120 - 40

P = $80
