Answer:

preferred habitat

Explanation:

According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.

In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes

The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate

Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium

According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.

IRISSAK [1]

Explanation:Different companies carry out the functions of purchasing, procurement and supply differently and these depend on how they operate. For example supply chain in a manufacturing company, it will produce items that will be stored in warehouses and other locations, making the supply chain more complex, on the other hand if it's a Service Provider company which uses a make-to-order business model, there will be no need for storing finished products, Therefore, it is clear that supply chains including procurement , purchasing and supply depend on the nature of the company.

If Abrams Company has an inventory turnover of 7.3 and a receivables turnover of 9.6, approximately how long is its operating cy
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

It is 16.9

Explanation:

Operating cycle = Inventory turnover + Receivable turn over - payable turnover

Hence, Operating cycle = 7.3+9.6

=16.9

Operating cycle implies how long it takes us to convert entire production process to cash .

It has an direct relationship with the level of working capital required. The higher the operating cycle, the higher the working capital investment required to keep the operation running.

A cash driven businesses like restaurant which hardly sell on credit will certainly have shorter operating cycle compared to a manufacturing company.

Feather Friends, Inc., distributes a high-quality wooden birdhouse that sells for $120 per unit. Variable expenses are $60.00 pe
umka21 [38]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Given: Selling price= $120 per unit.

          Variable cost= $60 per unit.

First computing contribution margin.

Contribution margin= Selling\ price\ per\ unit - variable\ cost\ per\ unit

⇒ Contribution margin= \$120 - \$ 60

∴ Contribution margin=  \$ 60

Now, calculating the contribution margin ratio.

Contribution margin ratio= \frac{Contribution\ margin}{selling\ price\ per\ unit}

⇒ Contribution margin ratio= \frac{\$ 60}{\$ 120} \times 100

∴ Contribution margin ratio= 50\%

Hence, the product´s contribution ratio is 50%.

In its first 10 years a mutual fund produced an average annual return of 20.4420.44​%. Assume that money invested in this fund c
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

3.73 years or 4 years approx

Explanation:

The computation of the number of years taken for money invested for double is shown below:

As we know that

Amount = Principal × (1 + interest rate ÷ time period)^interest rate × time period

where,

We assume the principal be P

And, the amount is 2P

And, the other values would remain the same

So,

2P = P (1 + 0.2044 ÷ time period)^ 1  × time period

2 = (1.2044)^ time period

Now take the log both sides

ln2 = ln (1.2044)^time period

ln2 - time period ln (1.2044)

So,

time period = ln(2) ÷ ln (1.2044)

= 3.73 years or 4 years approx
