Answer: a. Railroad loading

Explanation:

This question relates to the BCG matrix which allows a company with multiple divisions to know how to deal with its various divisions based on their growth rate and market share.

The question specifically relates to a matrix called "Cash cows". Cash cows are divisions that have a significant market share but a low growth rate. These divisions are stable and bring more money into the company than they cost to run.

This allows us to take profits from them and invest in other. The Railroad loading controls a significant market share of 75% but has a low growth rate so is a Cash cow.

The correct answer is false.

It is false that the slope of the investment demand function indicates how sensitive investment is to changes in real interest rates. The 'steeper' the investment demand function, the less sensitive investment is to changes in the real rate of interest, all else constant.

We can say that the downward slope is the consequence of several reasons. For instance, the concept that money, its nominal value, is fixed. However, the real value of money depends on the level of prices. So the demand for money is related to the demand for it. The interest rate falls when the price level falls.

Answer:

$468,000

Explanation:

Since the bonds will be held to maturity and purchased at a discount, their value will increase as maturity approaches. On December 31, year 5, the bonds should be reported at $468,002 ≈ $468,000

investment balance = $456,200 + $5,620 (difference between interest receivable and interest revenue 2004) +$6,182 (difference between interest receivable and interest revenue 2005) = $468,002

interest receivable 2004 = $500,000 x 8% = $40,000

interest revenue 2004 = $456,200 x 10% = $45,620

difference 2004 = $45,620 - $40,000 = $5,620

interest receivable 2005 = $500,000 x 8% = $40,000

interest revenue 2005 = ($456,200 + $5,620) x 10% = $46,182

difference 2005 = $46,182 - $40,000 = $6,182
