If the expected return generated by a financial asset is greater than what is required for compensating the asset's risk, the de

mand for the financial asset will start rising exponentially such that the initial cost incurred to take a position in the financial asset (the price of the financial asset) will increase. This in turn will depress the expected returns generated by the financial asset. This process will continue till the excess return being generated by the asset ceases to exist and the asset's price becomes commensurate with the asset's risk-return profile. This entire process is known as arbitrage.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Arbitrage refers to buying and selling stocks, commodities, bonds, currencies, or any other type of security. This process is carried out simultaneously, and a profit is made when the purchase price is lower than the selling price. E.g. a trader that purchases gold from a European seller and immediately sells it to an Asian buyer at a slightly higher price.

As technology advances, arbitrage has become more difficult to carry out because information is available to everyone. Before, a company could purchase a good (e.g. beef) in Texas and sell it at a higher price to a buyer in New York.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Net cash provided by operating activities for 2018 was $4,560,000

Explanation:

The net cash provided by operating activities can be computed by preparing the operating activities of the statement of cash flow as shown below:

Net income for the year                          $3,000,000

add depreciation                                      $1,200,000

add amortization                                       $240,000

deduct increase in accounts receivable ($420,000)

add increase in accounts payable           $540,000

net cash provided by operations             $4,560,000  

The cash provided by operating activities is $4,560,000  

The rationale for deducting increase in accounts receivable is that the increase deprived Lindsay corporation cash of $420,000.

mezya [45]

Question Completion:

Describe the accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses.

Answer:

Supplies Expenses are debited while the Supplies account is credited with the supplies expenses.

Explanation:

This accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses reduces the balance of the Supplies account by the amount of supplies used during the period.  Thus, what is left in the Supplies account is the cost of the unused supplies at the end of the accounting period.  The treatment also accords with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues that they generate in the period.
