Answer: <em>Option (B) is correct.</em>
Explanation:
If true, the following will most seriously weakens the argument: There has been an increasing rate in store opening in the central shopping district (CSD) since Colson's have opened discount stores.
Since after Colson's opened, the locations which were vacant became stores in particular discount store which did not spar with Colson's. Now that we have a discount store & department store without discount. Therefore when these stores close while competing with SpendLess, they wont be replaced with regular non-discount stores .
Answer:
Nominal interest rate (n) = 10% = 0.10
Inflation rate (i) = -2% = -0.02
Real interest rate (r) = ?
Application of Fisher's Equation
(I + n) = (1 + r)(1 + i)
(1 + 0.10) = (1 + r)(1 + -0.02)
1.10 = (1 + r)(0.98)
<u>1.10</u> = 1 + r
0.98
1.1224 = 1 + r
1.1224 - 1 = r
r = 0.1224 = 12.24%
Jimmer's real income will change by 12.24% next year.
Explanation:
In the determination of the rate of change in real income, there is need to apply Fisher's equation. The nominal rate and inflation rate have been given, thus, we will make the real rate the subject of the formula.
Answer:
1.
- The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.
This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.
- The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.
If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.
2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.
The correct answer is C. Money is safer in the bank.
Explanation:
The main point or position of Jonas is that savings should be kept in an account due to the costs associated with this. In this context, the only argument that refutes Jonas' position and it is directly related to the main point of Jonas is "Money is safer in the bank" because even if keeping savings in a bank requires to pay fees this guarantees the money will be safe, which does not occur if Jonas keeps his savings at home. Moreover, the safety factor makes the option of the bank better, which refutes Jonas position.
