Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": unfavorably; increases.

Explanation:

As a measure to control inflation in the economy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) tends to <em>increase </em>the interest rate. This to have banks request fewer loans from the central bank which will result in offering fewer credits to individuals. If people have fewer sources of debt, the possibilities that an economic bubble -<em>continuous increase in price due to continuous increase in demand</em>- appear decreases.

However, if people have fewer sources of debt, private investment decreases, causing an <em>unfavorable </em>panorama for financial institutions offering large portfolios of assets.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. automobile insurers
  2. life insurance companies
  3. a life insurance policy
  4. longer
  5. longer-term

Explanation:

When a company may need money in a short notice (like auto insurers), they will need to make liquid investments. That means that they can turn their investments into cash very rapidly. Since T-bills are traded all the time, they are very liquid investments, although they aren't very lucrative investments.

On the other hand, companies that know that they will not be needing a lot money promptly (life insurance), can afford to invest in projects with a longer life span that can be more profitable also. Usually liquid investments have smaller rates of return, while long term investments have higher rates of return.

Jupiter Explorers has $7,800 in sales. The profit margin is 4 percent. There are 6,100 shares of stock outstanding, with a price
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The company's price–earnings ratio is 36.

Explanation:

Price earning ratio is the ratio of market value of share to earning per share. It shows that how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earning of the company.

Profit margin = Net income / sales

0.04 = Net Income / $7800

Net Income = $7800 x 0.04 = $312

Earning Per share = Net Income / number of outstanding shares

Earning Per share = $312 / 6,100 = $0.05

Price earning ratio = Market price of share / Earning per share

Price earning ratio = $1.8 / $0.05 = 36

svet-max [94.6K]

The Cost of Quality Report is as follows:

Quality Cost                 Quality     Percentage of                  Percentage of

Classification                  Cost        Quality Cost                      Total Sales

Prevention                  $98,600     20% ($98,600/$493,000)     3.4%

Appraisal                       49,300     10% ($49,300/$493,000)       1.7%

Internal Failure           246,500     50% ($246,500/$493,000)  8.5%

External Failure            98,600     20% ($98,600/$493,000)     3.4%

Total Quality Costs $493,000     100%                                       17.0%

Data and Calculations:

Inspecting cleanliness of rooms                             $49,300 (Appraisal)

Processing lost customer reservations                   98,600 (External failure)

Rework incorrectly prepared room service meal 246,500 (Internal failure)

Employee training                                                    98,600 (Prevention)

Total                                                                     $493,000

Sales                                                                 $2,900,000

Percentage of Quality Cost = Quality Cost/Total Quality Cost * 100

Percentage of Total Sales = Quality Cost/Total Sales * 100

Thus, the cost of quality report is an appraisal of how the hotel uses its resources to prevent poor quality, including its internal and external failures.
