Business
1 answer:
Savatey [412]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Option B

Explanation: Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders with the weighted average number of shares.

Deduction of preferred dividends from net income is done only when dividends are declared by the entity, otherwise not. Preference shareholders have priority over common shareholders in case of dividends, so it will result in reduction of earnings to common shareholders but only when the dividends are declared and distributed.

Anna11 [10]

Answer: 0.15 years

Explanation:

According to Little's Law, it should be noted that:

I = R × T

where,

I = amount of flow units

R = rate of processing flow units

T = time

For this question,

I = $45 million

R = $300 million

Time will be:

T = I/R

T = 45/300

T = 0.15 years

Therefore, the account receivable process will use an average of 0.15 years.

Suppose the price of a substitute to lcd televisions rises. What effect will this have on the market equilibrium for lcd​ tvs? T
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: The equilibrium price of lcd tvs will

a. Increase and the equilibrium quantity will increase.

When the price of a substitute of lcd tvs rise, the demand for lcd tvs will rise, since they become cheaper than the substitute.

This will cause the existing demand curve to shift outwards, resulting in a rise in quantity.

As a result of the outward shift, the quantity supplied will also rise and so will the equilibrium price.

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
