Answer: 30.1%

Explanation:

Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed

Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share

= $100

Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.

Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433

Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400

= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100

= 30.1%

When there is no trade between Econia and Macroland, the price of a hairbrush is $6 in Econia and $8 in Macroland, while the pri

Answer:

b) The price of a hairbrush would be $7 and the price of socks would be $4.50 in both

Explanation:

Given that:

When there is no trade between Econia and Macroland;

For Hairbrush

the price of a hairbrush is $6 in Econia

the price of a hairbrush is $8 in Macroland

For a Pair of Socks

the price of a pair of socks is $5 in Econia

the price of a pair of socks is $4 in Macroland

Now if rade opened up between the two countries; we are to determine from the given options; the  terms of trade that might result, assuming that there are no transportation costs.

From the given data;

the price of the hairbrush is seen to be lesser in Econia than in Macroland; so it is best if Econia export the hair brush to Macroland since the price is lesser which will be of advantage to Macroland as they import the hairbrush ; Also Econia will benefit from this trade by increasing the price a little bit but not up to the price at which it is sold for at Macroland.

Now; The hairbrush is sold for $6 in Econia and $8 in Macroland.

It will be  bet if Econia can sell the hairbrush at the rate of somewhere between $6-$8 ; let say $7 since it will be an added  advantage for Econia because the price of selling the hairbrush will increase from $6 to $7 ; also, the price at which it is sold at Macroland will now have to reduce from $8 to  7.

Also;

The price of th pair of socks is lesser in Macroland (which is sold at the rate of $4 ) and the price of the pair of socks is sold at the rate of $5 in Econia.

So here ; Macroland will export the pair of socks to Econia while Econia import the pair of socks.

So; let say any price  between $4 and $5 (i.e $4.50) for a pair of socks will be okay for both parties because Macroland will get a higher price if it exports socks and Econia will pay lower price by importing socks which is up to $5.

Therefore; from the above explanation, The best option that suits to be the answer is option b ; The price of a hairbrush would be $7 and the price of socks would be $4.50 in both

Answer:

                                         Actual              Budgeted

Units sold                        991,000           1,000,000

Variable costs              1,280,000           1,500,000

Fixed costs                     955,000             905,000

                        <u>Actual Results</u>    <u>Flexible Budget</u>   <u>Static Budget </u>

Units sold              991,000             991,000              1,000,000

Revenues           $9,910,000         $9,910,000        $10,000,000

Variable costs  -$1,280,000        -$1,486,500         -$1,500,000

Contr. margin           $8,630,000        $8,423,500         $8,500,000

Fixed costs            -$955,000          -$905,000           -$905,000

Operating income   $7,675,000         $7,518,500          $7,595,000

The static budget only considers standard revenue (units sold and price) and costs (both variable and fixed). While a flexible budget will be calculated using standard costs but with actual units sold and produced. Both static and flexible budgets use the same fixed costs, only variable costs and revenues differ.
