Current market prices reflect all relevant information, whether it is known publicly or privately. True or false?.
likoan [24]

<u>True.</u> Current market prices reflect all relevant information, whether it is known publicly or privately.

<h3><u>What does strong-form efficiency mean?</u></h3>

Strong form efficiency is the strictest interpretation of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) investment theory, which claims that a stock's price takes into account all available information, whether it is public or private. Strong form efficiency advocates contend that even access to insider information cannot benefit an investment.

No matter how much study or information investors have access to, this level of market efficiency indicates that profits above typical returns cannot be realized. The majority of instances of strong form efficiency involve insider knowledge. This is due to the fact that the EMH's strong form efficiency is the sole component that incorporates confidential information.

Contrary to popular opinion, the idea contends, that possessing inside information won't help an investor achieve large market returns.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

a) Payout ratio for common stock:

= 0.60 or 60% for 2017

= 0.98 or 98% for 2016

b) Return on Common Stockholders' Equity

2017 = 19.82%

2016 = 21.88%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                                    (in millions) 2017       2016

Average common stockholders’ equity                    $2,825    $2,925

Net income                                                                      605          685

Dividends declared for preferred stockholders              45            45

Net income available for common stockholders          560         640

Dividends declared for common stockholders             335         630

Payout ratio for common stock:

= Dividends per share/Earnings per share

Dividends / Earnings for common stockholders

= $335/$560 = 0.60 for 2017

= $630/$640 = 0.98 for 2016

Return on common stockholders' equity:

= Earnings after preferred stock/Common Stockholders' Equity

2017 = $560/$2,825

= 0.1982

= 19.82%

2016 = $640/$2,925

= 0.2188

= 21.88%

      trading securities gordon                4.200 credit

     trading securities - martin                 1,600 credit

cash                           66,300 debit

loss on investment     6,900 debit

   trading securities - gordon         73,200 credit

--to record sale of gordon securties --

trading securities earnhart corp 53,800 debit

                         cash                                53,800 credit

--to record purchase of earnhart--

unrelized loss(OCI)  7,100  debit

trading securities earnhart corp 3,700 credit

trading securities- wallace        3,400 credit

-- 2018 year-end adjustment--

Explanation:

gordon 77,600 - 73,200 =    (4,100)

wallace 172,900 - 167,700 = 5,200

martin 63,500 - 65,100 =   <u>  (1,600)  </u>

         Total adjustment           (500)

We will declare as other comprehensive incoem the unrealized loss of 500 dollar for the period

At sale date we compare the proceeds and the cost to check for the earning or losses:

1,500 shares x $45 each less 1,200 fees = 66,300

                        gordon shares book value <u>(73,200)</u>

                       loss on investment                 6,900

Earnhart corp:

700 shares x $75 each plus 1,300 fees: 53,800

year-end adjusting 2018

earnhart 50,100 - 53,800 = (3,700)

wallace 61,700 - 65,100 =    (3,400)

martin   167,700 - 167,700 = <u>         0</u>

unrealized loss                    (7,1 00)
