Answer:
A share of Citigroup stock represents a claim on Citigroup's assets that gives the purchaser a share of the corporation.
Depending on whether you are an investor or the corporation, a bond is more or less riskier than a stock.
If you are an investor, buying a bond is safer than buying stock since in a worse case scenario where the company goes bankrupt, bond holders are paid before than stockholders. Also bonds provide fixed periodic payments (coupons) and a final payment of the face of the bond at maturity date.
If you are the corporation, issuing bonds is riskier than issuing stock since you have the obligation of making fixed periodic payments to bondholders (coupons) and must pay the face value at maturity date. On the other hand corporations don't have any legal obligation to pay dividends.
Answer:
D) Susie would buy more massages and fewer rounds of golf,as predicted by the substitution effect.
Explanation:
Let's check the utility that Susie gets from consuming these products.
The second round of golf gives her 20 units of satisfaction at $20 = 20/20 = 1
The third massage gives her 30 units of satisfaction at $30 = 30/30 = 1
But now the price the price for massage has come down to $15. The ratio of their prices would be
20/15 = 1.333
1.3 is greater than 1
So she should substitute golf for massages
Answer:
Per Chevron 3Q 2013 Filling:
The percentage change in the cost of purchased oil products nine months to September 30, 2013 when compared to nine months in 2012 was:
2.47%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of purchased oil products:
2013 $34,822,000,000
2012 $33,982,000,000
Change $840,000,000
Percentage Change = $840/$33,982 x 100
= 2.47%
b) The implication is that Chevron's cost of purchased oil products in third quarter of 2013 increased by 2.47% when compared with the same period in 2012. This percentage change is calculated by subtracting the Q3 2012 cost of purchased oil products from the Q3 2013 cost of purchased oil products and then dividing the difference by the Q3 2012, and multiplying by 100. The change could be caused by increases in the price of oil products or other variables.
