Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": it wishes to make an investment in its own stock.

Explanation:

Stock buyback refers to publicly traded companies purchasing stakeholders' shares. It lowers the market value of outstanding securities. It usually raises the stock price, based on basic market dynamics. Companies finance their buybacks with excess cash.

<em>Firms repurchase their own stock to use them in employees' stock option programs, to increase ratios such as the Earnings Per Share (EPS), reduce cash to be paid to stakeholders as dividends or to reduce the possibilities of a takeover. The purpose of stock buybacks is not related to reinvesting in the firm's own stock.</em>

Suppose the reserve requirement in the united states is 20% - Suppose the federal reserve wants to increase the money supply by
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Reserve requirement = 20% or 0.250

Simple money multiplier = 1/Reserve Ratio = 1/0.2 = 5

Increase in money supply = Increase in total reserves * Simple money multiplier

$100 Billion = Increase in total reserves * 5

Increase in total reserves = $20 billion

This means that the federal reserve should decrease the reserve requirement by purchasing $20 billion worth of US government bonds from banks, which will lead to increase of $100 billion in money supply.

romanna [79]

Answer:

210

  • The number of gasoline brands = N₂ = 5
  • The number of test sites = N₃ = 7
  • The number of drivers that participated = N₄ = 2

This study must include each N₁, and it has to be done at each N₃, using each N₂, while carried out by each N₄ ⇒ that means that the total number of possibilities:

N₁ x N₃ x N₂ x N₄ = 3 x 7 x 5 x 2 = 210

The total number of test runs is 210.
