Explanation:
The factors that a firm cannot control are the ones that it has no power to decide and they are determined by a third party. According to that, from the options given, the factors that the firm cannot control are tax rates because they are established by the government and the general level of stock prices because it is determined by the supply and demand in the market.
The other options are not right because the company can establish its process to evaluate investments and expenses and how to finance its assets with debt and equity.

Explanation:
Two Companies. We shall call them A and B.
If A and B decide not to advertise, they both get $5,000,000.
If A advertises and B does not then A captures $3 million from B at a cost of $2 million meaning their payoff would be,
= 5 million - 2 million + 3 million
= $6 million.
A will have $6 million and B will have $2 million as $3 million was captured from them. This scenario holds true if B is the one that advertises and A does not.
If both of them Advertise, they both reduce their gains by $2 million while capturing $3 million from each other so they'll essentially both have just $3 million if they both decide to advertise.
With the above scenarios, it is better for both companies to ADVERTISE if there is NO COLLUSION. This is because it ensures that they do not get the lowest payoff of $2 million if the other company decides to advertise and they do not.
However, if they DO COLLUDE. They must both decide that NONE of them SHOULD ADVERTISE and this would leave them with their original $5 million each which is a higher payoff than the $3 million they will both receive if they were both advertising.
A bond will sell at premium when its coupon interest rate <u>exceeds the market interest rate on similar bonds.</u>
Explanation:
Premium bonds are the bonds that are trading above par in the market. Further on the bond would trade on premium only when it offers a coupon rate exceeding the market rate that is being offered on similar bonds.
In simple lay man's language, the term premium and discount can be understood to carry a crude definition of high and low demand. When the demand would be high, the bonds would fetch a higher value and vice-versa.
Thus Bonds would highly be valued when it is paying interest that is greater than the interest prevailing in the market contemporarily.
Answer:
A) a 23.5% decrease in materials
B) a 64% decrease in labor costs
C) a 29.1% decrease in overhead
Explanation:
White Tiger's multifactor productivity = $300 / $148 = 2.027
if we want to increase the multifactor productivity by 12%, it will = 2.27
since we will not change the sales price, we must determine the new total cost:
$300 / cost = 2.27
cost = $300 / 2.27 = $132.16 ≈ $132, which represents a $16 decrease
A) materials ⇒ $16/$68 = 23.5%
B) labor costs ⇒ $16/$25 = 64%
C) overhead ⇒ $16/$55 = 29.1%
