Answer:
Dealers profit comes from the spread primarily. Spread is the differential amount between buying and selling.
Explanation:
Let us assume the price of security X is USD 100 (last trade price)
A dealer will purchase this security at discounted price from the investor say USD 99 and will sell the same security in the market at USD 100, thus earning spread.
Further being market markers, dealers often use multiple strategies to prop up the price of particular security and earn gains on inventory held.
Answer:
$6.25 per yard
Explanation:
The computation of the standard price per yard of material for its safety suits is shown below:
Material quantity variance = Standard Price × (Actual quantity - Standard quantity)
-$5,000 = Standard price × (10,000 - 10,800)
Standard price = -$5,000 ÷ (-800)
= $6.25 per yard
Hence, the standard price per yard of material for its safety suits is $6.25 per yard
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.
