Dear esteemed customers,
I bring to you an unpalatable news about the changes that would be initiated in our business approach to our customers.
As you can bear witness to, there has been a drastic increase in the cost of doing business in our industry with the notable changes being in the wheat used in producing our confectioneries, the sugar as well as the rising cost of transportation to various customers' locations.
Taking this into account, our company decided to introduce a flat rate delivery cost of $20 irrespective of the location of our customers. This would help us to minimize our production cost. Inorder to also consider our customers, there is a free 20 pieces cake (box) offered to every customer who buys 50 box of each product. This means, 50 box of cupcakes earns you one box free, 100 box cupcake purchase earns you 2 free boxes.
I do hope you would understand our challenges as a company and bear with us regarding to this delivery charge introduction.
Sincerely,
Maris Albert (For the company)

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.
Had to look for the options and here is my answer.
The issue about the international crisis made a great impact on consumers and this made them save their money and postponed big purchases. How this affected on aggregate demand and aggregate supply is that aggregate supply will decrease, which would lower both the price level and the real GDP. Hope this helps.

Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The marketing manager believes that increasing advertising costs by $74,000 in 2020 will increase the company’s sales volume to 12,700 units.
<u>We weren't provided with enough information to solve the requirement. But, I will provide the general structure:</u>
<u></u>
Sales= (number of units*selling price per unit)=
Total variable cost= (total variable cost per unit*number of units)=
Contribution margin=
Fixed costs= (fixed costs + incremental fixed costs)=
Net operating income
<u>If we want to determine the effect on income without an income statement:</u>
Effect of income= incremental units*contribution margin - incremental fixed costs
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
