Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": all publicly available information is reflected in current prices.

Explanation:

Within the Efficiency Market Hypothesis (<em>EMH</em>) the semi-strong market efficiency implies current stock prices reflect the public information made available in financial markets. According to this approach, the fluctuations in the stock price are the result of that information published and technical and fundamental analysis are useless in "predicting" stock price movements.

Answer: A. New buy

Explanation:

The situation described is most likely a NEW BUY situation because it bares some characteristics of same. In a new buy, customers generally take their time to make a decision and put the seller through a lot of paperwork in the case of corporate entities in a bid to assess the risk or cost of the new product. It is also necessary to do so as they have no previous experience with the seller and so trust cannot play a center stage.

Jenny also implied that it was the first time she had met them and it was also the first time they had been introduced to the product so there is that.

ABC Company is considering investing in new production equipment at a cost of $60,000 with a 10-year useful life and no salvage

ikadub [295]

Answer:

a. Operating Income = Sales - Production Cost - Depreciation Expense

Operating Income = $100,000 - $82,600 - $6,000

Operating Income = $11,400

b. Average Investment = (Initial Equipment Cost + Residual Value) / 2

Average Investment = ($60,000 + $0) / 2

Average Investment = $60,000 / 2

Average Investment = $30,000

c. Accounting Rate of Return = (Operating Income / Average Investment) * 100

Accounting Rate of Return = ($11,400 / $30,000) * 100

Accounting Rate of Return = 0.38 * 100

Accounting Rate of Return = 38%

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: Machine B because it has the lower Present Value

Explanation:

<h2>Machine A</h2>

= Present Value of income - Present Value of Costs

Present value of Income;

Sold for $5,000 after 10 years.

= 5,000/ (1 + 8%)^10

= $2,315.97

Present Value of Costs;

Purchased for $48,000.

Maintenance of $1,000 per year for years.

Present value of maintenance= 1,000 * Present value factor of annuity, 10 years, 8%

= 1,000 * 6.7101

= $6,710.10

Machine A Present Value

= 2,315.97 - 6,710.10 - 48,000

= ‭-$52,394

<h2>Machine B</h2>

No salvage value.

Present Value of costs

Purchased for $40,000.

Present value of maintenance = (4,000 / (1 + 8%)^3) + (5,000 / ( 1 + 8)^6) + (6,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^8)

= -$9,567.79

Present Value = -40,000 - 9,567.79

= -$49,568
