Consider two spices, cumin and paprika, to be substitutes, a decrease in the supply of paprika, should cause an increase in the
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

an increase in the price of both

Explanation:

A decrease in the supply of paprika would cause an increase in the price of both substitute goods. When the supply of paprika falls, the demand will be greater than what is available for sale and this would cause the sellers to raise it's price afterall it is now scarce.

Also as a substitute good, more people would begin to switch to buying cummin which would raise the demand for cummin. This increase in demand for cummin would then cause the price of cummin to go up.

klio [65]

Answer:

A. can afford to take on additional risk; increases

Explanation:

Saying that Risk and Return go hand in hand, tells us that you <u>can afford to take additional risk </u> as the length of the investment horizon <u>increases</u>. Increasing the length of the investment horizon increases the ability to take on additional risk because in the long run the investment pays off while it may be choppy in the short time horizon.

Bethesda Biosys issues an IPO on a best-efforts basis. The company's investment bank requires a spread of 18 percent of the sell
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Bethesda Biosys

Issue of an IPO:

Net proceeds for the issuer is $82 million, if all the 4 million shares are bought by investors.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

The spread is $4.5 (18% of $25) per share, since average selling price is $25.

Therefore, the net proceed per share is $20.50 ($25 - 4.50).

And the Total Net Proceeds = $82 million ($20.50 * 4 million), assuming that all four million shares were bought by the public.

Note that the question did not provide the necessary information to make the final decision.

b) During the issue of securities, especially an IPO, underwriters, such as investment banks, pay an issuing company for the securities and then sell the securities to the public.  There is always a difference per share price that they are willing to pay the issuer and what they will collect from the investing public.  That difference is called the underwriting spread or simply the spread.

c) Best-Efforts Basis: According to investopedia.com, underwriting on best-effort basis is "an agreement between an underwriter and an issuer in which the underwriter agrees to place as much of an offering with investors as possible, but is not responsible for any portion of the offering it fails to sell."
