Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": a price increase results in higher​ profits; otherwise, the market is too narrow.

Explanation:

When firms are interested in acquisitions or mergers they have to determine if the target company is part of a relevant market. The term refers to the competitive conditions that offer the economy where the target company is located. The relevant market also considers the type of product or service the target company offers.

<em>Relevant markets optimal for mergers are those where an increase in prices generates more revenue for firms. If there are too many competitors offering undifferentiated products, the market will not allow organizations to profit from price increases. Those markets, then, are too narrow.</em>

Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A
inn [45]

Answer:

d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment

While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage

Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR

Therefore option d is correct

All of the following are true about time series methods EXCEPT a. they discover a pattern in historical data and project it into
motikmotik

Answer:

B. they involve the use of expert judgement do develop forecasts

Explanation:

A time series is a series of events that is spaced equally in time. It is a statistical technique used to identify a time based trend of events and them make forecast using data from the trend/time series.

Time series requires certain processes which include discovering of a pattern in the historical data, projection of the historical data into the future, assumption that the pattern will remain the same(constant) as the time goes by, etc.

In time series method, since historical data is the point of reference for making a forecast, no expert judgements is required to develop forecasts. This is because once the data of the series from the past has been taken and a trend/pattern has been identified, that becomes the basis for future forecasts.

Cheers.
