Answer and explanation:

The position of the student is correct. Financial intermediaries are entities participating in a financial transaction that function as a bridge. A financial intermediary helps lenders contact creditors and buyers meet with sellers. In fact, the parties on either side of the transaction do not need to meet at all, thanks to the financial intermediary. Eventually, depositors earn a profit by the interest of the money stored in the financial intermediary.

The situation explained above is not the same when talking about insurances. Insureds pay a monthly fee for having a policy that provides them with coverage according to the insurance. If the insurance was never used, the money paid by the insured is not given back.

Examine the quarterly sales data in a little different way. Contruct two pie charts, one for sales in 2012 and the other for sal

julsineya [31]

Answer:

sales are becoming less seasonal

Explanation:

besides constructing a pie chart, we can also answer this question by percentages (which is more exact).

2012:

total sales = $69,338

Q1 sales = $10,613 / $69,338 = 15.31%

Q2 sales = $6,424 / $69,338 = 9.26%

Q3 sales = $19,283 / $69,338 = 27.81%

Q4 sales = $33,019 / $69,338 = 47.68%

2013:

total sales = $142,238

Q1 sales = $30,342 / $142,238 = 21.33%

Q2 sales = $33,867 / $142,238 = 23.81%

Q3 sales = $34,246 / $142,238 = 24.08%

Q4 sales = $43,783 / $142,238 = 30.78%

During 2012, almost 50% of total sales happened during Q4, something similar to selling toys which are extremely seasonal due to Christmas.

During 2013, this changed since Q4 sales only represent 30% of total sales. Sales increased during Q1 and Q2, and slightly decreased in Q3. They are much more similar now, since sales are almost evenly spread throughout the year.

Explanation:

The above-mentioned question is missing few components. I have added them to explain on how the question would be solved if all the variables were provided. Please note the additions in bold text below. The answer of which is given afterwards.

You own 300 shares of Somner Resources' preferred stock, which currently sells for $39 per share and pays annual dividends of $5.50 per share. If the market's required yield on similar shares 12% is percent, should you sell your shares or buy more?

Solution as mentioned below:

First of all we need to calculate value of the preferred stock by dividing the annual dividend per share from the market required rate.

Value of preferred stock = 5.50 / 12%

Value of preferred stock = $45.83

Now given the fact that the current price at which the stocks are sold is $39 which is less than the price at which they are actually valued which is $45.83. You should buy more of the shares as they are currently undervalued.
