The prices for all kinds of fish sold in Eastville's downtown Old Market are much lower than the prices charged at uptown seafoo

d stores. Old Market vendors buy fish of similar quality from the same wholesalers and at the same prices as uptown vendors do. Therefore, since Old Market fish vendors' businesses are as profitable as those uptown, the volume of the Old Market vendors' daily fish sales must, on average, be higher.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument given?
A. People who buy fish at Old Market stores generally have lower incomes than do those who buy fish from uptown seafood stores.
B. Some varieties of fish that are not available at Old Market stores can be found occasionally at uptown seafood stores.
C. Vendors at the old Market save on energy costs by keeping fish on ice instead of in refrigerated cases.
D. Many of the people who live in uptown Eastville prefer to buy fish from the neighborhood stores.
E. Fish vendors at the Old Market do not, on average, have lower overhead costs than uptown vendors do.

Identify the percent increase in total sales and the percent increase in sales of trench coats. Then find which percent of incre
geniusboy [140]

The percentage increase in the total sales for 2006 is 15% while the increase in sales of the trench coats is 23.3%; therefore the percentage increase in total sales of trench coats is 8.3% faster.

Computation:

1. The total amount of sales for 2006 and 2007:

\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2006}&=103+297+210+213+137\\&=960\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2007}&=127+223+210+285+259\\&=1104\end{aligned}

2. Now, the percentage increase will be determined for the total number of coats and trench coats:

For the total number of coats, the values used will be the total sales of 2006, and total sales of 2007.

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{1104-960}{960}\times100\\&=15\%\end{aligned}

For the trench coats the values used will be the sale of trench coats in 2006 and 2007.

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase in Sale of Trench Coat}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{127-103}{103}\times100\\&=23.33\%\end{aligned}

3. Now, the  net percentage increase in sales due to the trench coats is computed as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text{Net Percentage Change}&=\text{\text{Percentage Increase in Trench Coat}-\text{Percentage Increase}}\\&=23.33\%-15\%\\&=8.3\%\end{aligned}

Therefore, the correct option is option B. Sales of trench coats increased 8. 3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.

You have a portfolio that is invested 14 percent in Stock R, 50 percent in Stock S, and the remainder in Stock T. The beta of St
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

1.41 Approx

Explanation:

The computation of the beta for the stock T is shown below:

Beta of portfolio = Respective betas × Respective investment weights

1.30 = (0.14 × 0.81) + (0.5  × 1.36) + (0.36 ×  beta of the Stock T)

1.30 =0.7934 + (0.36 ×  beta of the Stock T)

beta of the Stock T = (1.3 - 0.7934) ÷ 0.36

= 1.41 Approx

We simply multiplied the beta of each stock with its investment weights order to calculate the beta of the stock T as portfolio beta is given

Identify each statement as either true or false. In the United States, banks keep the entire value of all customer deposits in t
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

In the United States, banks keep the entire value of all customer deposits in the bank vault to meet customer withdrawals. FALSE.

Banks keep only a portion of the customer deposits in the bank vault. A small portion is kept with the Fed called the Reserve Requirement.

Banks typically loan out a portion of customer deposits. TRUE.

Banks only loan out the portion of customer deposits that they did not leave with the Fed.

Bank runs occur when many customers attempt to withdraw deposits from a bank at the same time and the bank is unable to pay all customer withdrawals. TRUE.

When too many people try to withdraw from a bank, the bank might not meet these obligations because they loaned out money to people and those people were not yet due to pay back. This is a bank run.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) protects bank depositors from bank failure. TRUE.

The fractional reserve banking system requires all banks to keep the total value of customer deposits in their vaults to prevent bank runs. FALSE.

As explained in the first paragraph, the Fed requires that banks keep a portion of customer deposits with the Fed instead of the total value of customer deposits.
