Used closed ended probes. Open ended probes would be inviting an explanatory answer. I.e. Are you a man (closed ended). Or. How would you best describe your gender (open ended)
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Supply is sellers ability and willingness to sell a good at given price, time period.
Price of Inputs is a factor negatively effecting Supply. This implies decrease in supply at high input prices (because of lower profit margin), increase in supply at low input prices (because of higher profit margin).
Increase in Supply means rightwards shift in upward sloping supply curve, Decrease in Supply means leftwards shift in upward sloping supply curve.
Steel is an input used in car manufacturing; so increase in steel price will decrease car supply & shift the supply curve leftwards. This will create excess demand/ deficient supply/ shortage of cars in the market at old equilibrium price.
This shortage will then create competition among buyers & increase price, which will contract demand & expand supply - establishing new equilibrium.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Bankruptcy Trustees are usually lawyers and this is why people think that they must always be lawyers but this is not the case.
The United States Trustee who is an officer of the Department of Justice and the one in charge of appointing Bankruptcy Trustees, can appoint a person other than a licensed attorney to be the representative of an estate for bankruptcy related matters (trustee) such as accountants or financial planners.
Answer:
Multiple IRRs:
Said another way, Multiple IRRs occur when a project has more than one <em>internal rate of return.</em> The problem arises where a project has non-normal cash flow (non-conventional cash flow pattern).
Internal rate of return (IRR) is one of the most commonly used capital budgeting tools. Investors make decisions by comparing the IRR of the project under consideration with the <em>hurdle rate</em>. If the IRR is greater than the hurdle rate, the project is accepted, otherwise it is rejected. When there are more than two IRRs, it is not exactly clear which IRR to compare with the hurdle rate.
Hurdle rate is the minimum required rate of return which businesses use as a benchmark to decide whether to invest in a project or not.
<em>So a typical situation which can generate negative cashflows which can in turn lead to multiple IRRs towards the end of the project is where the conditions of investment become adverse towards the end of the project.</em>
Imagine that toward the end of the lifecycle of a project, a forecasted increase external costs such as Interest Rate, influenced by government policies translates to an erosion of the bottom line generated by the business in that year.
Period 0 1 3 3 4 5
Unconventional cash flows ($)-19,000 16,000 16,000 6,000 6,000 -52,000
The series is non-conventional cash-flow pattern, which has two sign changes. This is the range in which the net present value of the non-conventional cash flow series is positive. The multiple IRR problem poses a series problem to analysts because the decision is not obvious.
Cheers!
