Business
1 answer:
swat323 years ago
6 0

Hello There!

Your answer would be <u>C). A tortious act may also be a criminal act.</u>

The reason why C would be your answer is because a tortious act is something that harms someone in any way. The reason why it "may" be a criminal act is because determine if the tortious act is a criminal act really depends on the scenario that is occurring. For example, someone could cause a tortious act in a way of self defense, this scenario would be debatable because the person that committed the tortious act had a valid reason in doing so, and that was protecting themselves. But, if a person was to cause a tortious act by  hurting someone to steal from them, then that would definitely be a criminal act because they are performing dangerous things to someone else, and the person could file a lawsuit against it.

Let's dive into why the other answer choices are incorrect. We can use the old fashion process of elimination:

Answer choice "A). A tortious act is always a criminal act" is incorrect because it is not always a criminal act, it depends on the scenario it's in. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "B). A criminal act is always a tortious act" is incorrect because there are MANY criminal acts that doesn't harm anyone, for example, tax evasion (not paying taxes) is a criminal act, but does not cause any harm to anyone. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "D). A tortious act is the same as a contract dispute" is incorrect because harming someone is not the same as not doing what a contract says. A contact dispute is when someone that's part of a contract did not do a duty that the contract says that they're suppose to do, and that usually doesn't have to be any harm to anyone. That would not be the same as a tortious act, harming someone. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

During 2017, Ziplock Manufacturing expected Job No. 89 to cost $700,000 in overhead, $1,000,000 in direct materials, and $500,00
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a. not able to be determined from the provided information.

Explanation:

For determining the over applied or under applied, first, we have to compute the predetermined rate based on the direct material cost which is  

= $700,000 ÷ $1,000,000

= $0.70

Now the applied overhead is  

= $0.70 × $1,200,000

= $840,000

And, the actual overhead amount is not given by which we can find out the underapplied or overapplied overhead amount

So, in this case, the correct option is a.

You are considering two investment alternatives. The first is a stock that pays quarterly dividends of $0.32 per share and is tr
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The 1-year HPR for the second stock is <u>12.84</u>%. The stock that will provide the better annualized holding period return is <u>Stock 1</u>.

Explanation:

<u>For First stock </u>

Total dividend from first stock = Dividend per share * Number quarters = $0.32 * 2 = $0.64

HPR of first stock = (Total dividend from first stock + (Selling price after six months - Initial selling price per share)) / Initial selling price = ($0.64 + ($31.72 - $27.85)) / $27.85 = 0.1619, or 16.19%

Annualized holding period return of first stock = HPR of first stock * Number 6 months in a year = 16.19% * 2 = 32.38%

<u>For Second stock </u>

Total dividend from second stock = Dividend per share * Number quarters = $0.67 * 4 = $2.68

Since you expect to sell the stock in one year, we have:

Annualized holding period return of second stock = The 1-year HPR for the second stock = (Total dividend from second stock + (Selling price after six months - Initial selling price per share)) / Initial selling price = ($2.68+ ($36.79 - $34.98)) / $34.98 = 0.1284, or 12.84%

Since the Annualized holding period return of first stock of 32.38% is higher than the Annualized holding period return of second stock of 12.84%. the first stock will provide the better annualized holding period return.

The 1-year HPR for the second stock is <u>12.84</u>%. The stock that will provide the better annualized holding period return is <u>Stock 1</u>.

Note whether the following phenomena would be consistent with or a violation of the efficient market hypothesis.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.    

Explanation:

The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.

<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>

According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.

This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.

The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.  

By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.  

You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
