Answer:

a) must accept market price for its physical capital inputs.

Explanation:

The price of gold in the commodity market is being influenced by market speculation.  Market speculation implies investors are trying to profit from the changing prices of gold.  When the market is active, the price of gold will be moving up and down depending on demand.

The current prices are high is a motivation to sell. For I'maGoldMiner to profit from the current high prices, it must continue with production. In the event the prices of physical capital inputs change, the company must accept the new prices.  The high selling prices will assist the company in absorbing any changes input costs. That way, the company will maximize on the current high prices.

skad [1K]

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

This is the case unless the registered representative contributes capital proportionate to his sharing percentage and receives written approval of the principal. This is because the MSRB clearly prohibits this, but if the registered representative opens a joint account with the customer (granted the customer approves), and shares in both the gains and losses of the account with a proportionate capital contribution, then both are entering into the same risk and are allowed to share in the gains and losses. This is as long as the principal provides written approval.
