Answer:

C. Reducing the reserve requirement on banks

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve( Fed) expects commercial banks to maintain a percentage of customer deposits in their custody. The amount that the banks keep is known as reserves. The Fed sets the percentage of deposits to be held as reserves. The Fed may adjust this percentage in line with its monetary objectives.

By reducing the reserve requirements percentage, commercial banks remain with a bigger portion of deposits that they lend out. It means banks will issues out more loans to customers. An increase in lending adds more money to the economy. Reducing the reserve requirement increases the money supply in the country.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

What is the expected dividend yield for Portman's stock today?

d. 6.40%

Suppose Portman is considering issuing 62,500 new shares at a price of $26.78 per share. If the new shares are sold to outside investors, by how much will Judy's investment in Portman Industries be diluted on a per-share basis?

a. $0.52 per share

Thus, Judy's investment will be diluted, and Judy will experience a total loss of $0.52 x 7,500 = $3,900

Explanation:

cost of equity = Re = risk free rate of return + (Beta × market premium) = 5% + (0.90 x 6%) = 10.4%

dividend in one year = $1.68 x 120% = $2.016

intrinsic stock price = $2.016 / (10.4% - 4%) = $31.50

expected dividend yield = dividend / stock price = $2.016 / $31.50 = 6.4%

Judy's loss per share = ($31.50 - $26.78) x (62,500 / 562,500) = $0.5244

Which of the following scenarios illustrates the law of demand?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question correctly, we first need to understand the law of demands.

Law of demands: It says that the relationship of price and quantity demanded is inversely proportional. It means if the price of a particular product goes high, then the quantity of demand will be reduced. Similarly, if the price of the product is low then the quantity of demanded will be higher.

Here,

Option B is the most relevant to the Law of Demand which says that Kathleen eats more steak when the price is low. It means when the price is low, the quantity of steak demanded is higher in Kathleen's case. Furthermore, Kathleen eats less when the price is high. It means, when the price of steak is higher then the quantity of steak demanded from Kathleen is low.

Hence, Option B is the correct option which fulfills the law of demand.

(To record write-off of accounts receivable - Miscellaneous)

Explanation:

April 13: Shipway Company wrote-off account of Dean Sheppard, this means there would be a reduction in both allowance for doubtful accounts and accounts receivable.
The receipt on May 15 of $3,270 reduced the accounts receivable but increased cash. However, the write-off of $5,410 caused a reduction in both the allowance account and accounts receivable.
When there was a receipt of $6,530 on July 27, the accounts receivable would be reinstated and then adjusted for the cash receipt.
Lastly, the write-off of the uncollectible accounts from miscellaneous customers were added up to arrive at $13,330.
