Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. State and describe the concept that leads to "conflict of goals between a firm's managers and its shareholders. Give a modern day example of this concept, and discuss some potential solutions.

This is referred to as the agency problem. This brings about conflict of goals between the manager and the shareholders. An example is when the managers use the resources of the company for their own personal benefits or in a scenario whereby the managers fake the earnings so that the stock prices will rise temporarily.

b. State and describe the concept that states, "factors of production are somewhat immobile." Give an example with detail.

This is referred to as imperfect market theory. When transferring labor, capital or other resources, there are costs attached to the transfer and restrictions as well. .

Ramble On Co. wishes to maintain a growth rate of 8 percent a year, a debt-equity ratio of 0.37, and a dividend payout ratio of
Delvig [45]

Answer: 16.55%

Explanation:

Profit margin is the amount of earnings that a company has left when every expenses and costs have been deducted.

From the information given, firstly, we calculate the return on equity. This will be:

= Growth rate /(1 + Growth rate) × Retention ratio

= 8% / (1 + 8%) × 46%

= 0.08/(1 + 0.08) × 0.46

= 0.08/1.08 × 0.46

= 0.08/0.4968

= 0.1610

= 16.10%

Return on equity, ROE = 16.10%

We then calculate the profit margin. This will be:

= ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier

where,

Equity Multiplier = 1 + debt-equity ratio

= 1 + 0.37 = 1.37

Profit margin = ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier

= 16.10% / {(1/1.41) × 1.37}

= 16.10% / 0.71 × 1.37

= 0.1610 / 0.9727

= 0.1655

Profit margin = 16.55%

A _____ option allows the _____ to buy the underlying asset at the option's exercise price on or before the expiration date. cal
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The correcto answer would be "call"

Explanation:

A CALL option allows the BUYER to buy the underlying asset at the option's exercise price on or before the expiration date. call; seller put; buyer put; seller call; buye

The owner or buyer of a call option benefits from the option if the underlying asset rises, that is, if when the call option expires, the asset (an action for example) has a price greater than the agreed price . In that case, the option buyer will exercise his right and buy the asset at the agreed price and sell it at the current market price, earning the difference.

If the price turns out to be less than the agreed price, known as the strike or strike price, the buyer will not exercise his right and will simply have lost the premium he paid for acquiring the option. Therefore, your benefit may be unlimited, but your loss is limited to the premium you paid.

Indigo Corporation significantly reduced its requirements for credit sales. As a result, sales during the current year increased
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

(a) $200,100

(b) $200,100

Explanation:

The movement in the accounts receivable balance at the start and end of an accounting period is due to cash payments, additional credit sales, and any amount written off during the period.

This may be expressed mathematically as  

opening balance + sales - cash collected - amount written off = closing balance

$35,100 + $361,800 - cash collected = $196,800

Cash collected = $35,100 + $361,800 - $196,800

= $200,100
