Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
When we save we deposit it in the bank and do not loan it out directly. But the bank keeps a certain portion of it and lends out the rest to those who need credit. So, the savings that we deposit in the bank become the basis of credit creation.
That is why the statement about saving and lending given in the question is incorrect.
Answer:
Risk and Return
1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
Explanation:
1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision. Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns. Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote. Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.
2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically. It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.
3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision. Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions. Who are the present managers of the fund? What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal? What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration? These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence. Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."
Answer: $13.25
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that an oral auction has bidders willing to pay $4, $6, $9, $12, $13, and $15 for an item.
Based on the above scenario, the winning bidder will pay a little more than $13 or $13.25. This is because the bidder with the highest pay is willing to pay $15 but since the next person is willing to pay $13, that means the next bidder will price it at an amount that is a little bit above $13 which is $13.25.
Answer:
allowance for uncollectible accounts
Explanation:
The cash budget represents the cash inflow and cash outflow position with respect of cash receipts and cash payments i.e cash disbursement plus it also involves financing needs i.e how much amount is to be borrowed
But it does not involve the allowance for uncollectible accounts as it is not shown in the cash budget because it is shown under the debtors side with the negative amount of the balance sheet
Like
Assets
Current Assets
Account receivable XXXXX
Less: Allowance for uncollectible accounts XXXXX
Net account receivable XXXXX
Answer:
c. a letter that falsely claims the writer represents a foreign bank.
