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.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

b. The transactions would lower Safeco's financial strength as measured by its current ratio but raise Risco's current ratio

Explanation:

The formula to compute the current ratio is shown below:

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

For Safeco, the current ratio would be

= 2 times

And for Risco, the current ratio would be

= $10 million ÷ $20 million

= 0.5 times

After borrowing, the current ratio would be

For Safeco, the current ratio would be

= $30 million ÷ $20 million

= 1.5 times

And for Risco, the current ratio would be

= $20 million ÷ $30 million

= 0.67 times

By comparing the current ratio, we get to know that The Safeco current ratio would be decreased whereas, the Risco current ratio is increased
