In the market for Rolexianish luxury watches, consumers cannot tell the difference between high-quality and low-quality movement watches. Even though the two types of watches look the exact same, the performance of low-quality movement watches is much worse than that of high-quality movement watches. Buyers value a high-quality movement watch at $10,000 and a low-quality movement watch at $8,000. Recently, the FBWI (Federal Bureau of Watch Investigators) conducted to study and determined that 40% of watches in the market are high-quality movement, while 60% are low-quality movement. Note: Assume there are no consumer protection laws or outside rating agencies. When buying a watch, there is no way to know if it is high or low quality.
A. What is a buyer’s expected value of a luxury watch?
B. If sellers of high-quality watches have a reservation price of $8,000 and sellers of low- quality watches have a reservation price of $6,500, what happens in this market? Are there any equity(fairnesss) implications? Explain.
C. If sellers of high-quality watches have a reservation price of $9,000 and sellers of low quality watches have a reservation price of $7,500, what happens in this market? Are there any equity(fairness) implications? Explain.
D. Screening is an important tool when asymmetric information is present. Assume you’re in the market for a high-quality watch and the sellers’ reservation prices are $6,000 for a low-quality watch and $10,000 for a high-quality watch (and you, as the buyer, know these reservation prices). Can you screen out the low-quality watches by offering $6,000 and when the owner turns you down, you know she’s selling a high-quality watch? Will that work? Explain.

Explanation:
On January 1, 2020, Oregon Company issued eight-year bonds with a face value of $6,000,000 and a stated interest rate of 6%, payable semiannually onJune 30 and December 31. Determine the issue price of the bonds, assuming the bonds were sold to yield 8% (require use of present value tables):
Answer:
the issue price of the bond is $5,301,360
Explanation:
The computation of the issue price of the bond is shown below/;
= (semiannual interest payment × present value annuity (16,4%)) + (face value × present value factor (4%,16))
= (($6,000,000 × 6% ÷ 2) × 11.652) + ($6,000,000 × .534)
= $2,097,360 + $3,204,000
= $5,301,360
Hence, the issue price of the bond is $5,301,360
The Federal Open Market Committee a. by law must focus on maintaining low inflation rather than stabilizing output. b. by law must follow a mechanical rule that takes into account deviations of unemployment from its natural rate and deviations of inflation from a target. c. operates with almost complete discretion over monetary policy. d. by law must focus on stabilizing output rather than maintaining low inflation.
Answer:
c. operates with almost complete discretion over monetary policy.
Explanation:
Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth. The central bank uses monetary policies to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country. In order to boost economic growth, monetary policy is used to increase money supply (liquidity) while it is also used to prevent inflation by reducing money supply.
Generally, money supply comprises of checks, cash, money market mutual funds (MMF) and credit (mortgage, bonds and loans).
The FOMC are typically responsible for making monetary policy and the determination of the direction of the monetary policy in the United States of America.
Hence, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) are saddled with the responsibility to operate with almost complete discretion of its members over monetary policy in a particular country.
The discount rate used to calculate the net present value of a capital budgeting project should be: a. The risk-free rate. b. The weighted average cost of capital. c. LIBOR. d. The internal rate of return.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Capital budgeting is the determination of the profitability of proposed investments
One of the capital budgeting methods is the net present value
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
the Weighted cost of capital is used to determine NPV
WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)
It is the minimum rate of return a company expects from a project
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. It is a captial budgeting method
_____________ planning focuses on delivering products or services to consumers as well as warehousing, delivering, invoicing, and payment collection.
Answer:
Distribution
Explanation:
Distribution is one of the phases in production. It is often said that production is not complete until goods and services gets to the final consumers. Distribution planning entails getting the goods produced to consumers as well as warehousing them. It also entails delivery, invoicing and payment collections.
As the last chain in production processes, distribution planning makes goods and services produced gets to the final consumes whilst also taking care of the logistics involved and payment collections.
g Segmented Markets Theory of the Yield Curve A. Notes or bonds of different maturities are not substitutes for each other B. Notes or bonds of different maturities are substitutes for each other C. Notes or bonds of different maturities are inversions of each other D. Explains why the yield curve is normally downward sloping
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The segmented Markets Theory of the Yield Curve is a traditional theory explaining the term structure of interest rates
According to the theory, the yield curve is divided into different maturities and investors determine the yield curve by their demand and supply for funds of different maturities.
Each maturity is viewed as a segmented market in which the yield is determined independently from the yields of other maturities
The theory assumes that investors are unwilling or unable to invest in other securities than that with their preferred maturity. As a result, the yield of securities in a maturity is determined only by the demand and supply of funds in that maturity. It also implies that Notes or bonds of different maturities are not substitutes for each other

John Company could buy a machine that costs $72,000. It is estimated that it earn nothing until year five, then earn $150,000 in year 5. If the discount figures are .567 for cash received at the end of five years and 3.605 for payments received every year for five years, what is the net present value for this machine
Answer:
$13,050
Explanation:
Net present value is a method of capital budgeting.
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Net present value = (cash flow in year 5 x year 5 discount rate) - Initial Investment
($150,000 x 0.567) - $72,000
85,050 - $72,000 = $13,050

Logan Company can sell all of the standard and premier products they can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce 6 standard units per hour or 5 premier units per hour, and it has 39,000 production hours available. Contribution margin per unit is $21 for the standard product and $25 for the premier product. What is the most profitable sales mix for Logan Company
Answer:
234,000 standard units
Explanation:
Standard unit Premier unit
Contribution margin per unit $25 $21
Production hour per unit 1/6 1/5
Contribution margin per production hour $150 $105
Contribution margin per production hour is higher for standard units, hence Logan company should produce standard units.
Total production hours available = 39,000
Production per hour of standard unit = 6
Maximum production of standard units = Total production hours available * Production per hour of standard unit
Maximum production of standard units = 39,000 * 6
Maximum production of standard units = 234,000

Farmers Bank offers to lend you $50,000 at a nominal rate of 5.0%, simple interest, with interest paid quarterly. Merchants Bank offers to lend you the $50,000, but it will charge 6.0%, simple interest, with interest paid at the end of the year. What's the difference in the effective annual rates charged by the two banks? a. 1.56% b. 1.30% c. 0.72% d. 0.91% e. 1.09%
Answer: d. 0.91%
Explanation:
Farmers Bank
Effective annual rate is calculated with the formula:
= (1 + Rate / number of compounding period in a year) ^ number of compounding periods in a year - 1
= ( 1 + 5%/4 quarters) ⁴ - 1
= 5.09%
Merchants bank's rate is already an annual figure so there is no need for conversion.
Difference is:
= 6% - 5.09%
= 0.91%

Explanation:
Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 years to maturity, whereas Bond Ted has 25 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill? Of Bond Ted? Both bonds have a par value of $1000. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then? Of Bond Ted? Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?
Answer:
a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%
a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%
b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%
b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%
c. See the attached excel file for the graph.
d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.
Explanation:
The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:
Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)
Where;
a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?
YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = $919.29
Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%
a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?
YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = $788.81
Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%
b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?
YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36
Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%
b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?
rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%
NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31
FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)
Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:
New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73
Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%
c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.
Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.
d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?
It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

a. Simulation can be used to analyze large and complex real-world situations that cannot be solved by using conventional quantitative analysis models b. Simulation can answer what-if types of questions c. Simulation can be used to study the interactive effect of individual components or variables in order to determine which ones are important d. All of the above statements are correct
Answer:
D). All of the above statements are correct.
Explanation:
Simulation can be described as the process designed to offer a realistic experience in order to know the actual mechanism of a specific behavior or outcome.
As per the question, 'all the given statements' are asserting true claims with respect to simulation. Simulation is characterized as an effective process for evaluating large and complicated actual-world circumstances as it is a realistic environment to know the truth and actual causes behind those situations. Such situations cannot be assessed truly using the traditional quantitative models of analysis. It is able to provide answers to the questions like 'what-if' as it observes the realistic nature and promotes effective decision-making. It is also employed to investigate the collective effect of specific variables or components to categorize them as important or not-important as it closely observes every aspect. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Crane and Miller Manufacturing is trying to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs with 10900 units of ending work in process at 80% completion and 31600 physical units. There are no beginning units in the department. Conversion costs occur evenly throughout the entire production period. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period?
Answer:
the equivalent units for the conversion cost is 29,420 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for the conversion cost is shown below:
= units completed + ending inventory units
= (31,600 units - 10,900 units) + 80% of 10,900 units
= 20,700 units + 8,720 units
= 29,420 units
hence, the equivalent units for the conversion cost is 29,420 units

'Investments' are defined as the 'process of allocating money having an aim of receiving a profit.'
The items that can be considered as both the short, as well as, long-term investments would be:
A). CDs
B). Stocks
C). Mutual funds
E). Commodities
A CD or Certificate of Deposit(CD) is characterized as both the 'short, as well as, long-term' investment because it provides interest and offers a lump-sum on its maturity. Stocks are also such an investment as it offers both intra-day trade and long-term holding options as well. Mutual funds are also a good option for generating both regular incomes in the short-term and big capital gain over a time period. Commodities like gold, crude oil, etc. also offer such an option as it is the item whose price keeps growing and thereby providing an opportunity to earn.Thus, options A, B, C, and E are the correct answers.

"You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.05 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio?"
Answer: 1.95
Explanation:
The beta for the other stock in the portfolio will be calculated thus:
Portfolio Beta = (BetaA × WeightA) + (BetaB × WeightB) + (BetaC × WeightC)
= (BetaA × 1/3) + (1.05 × 1/3) + (0 × 1/3)
= (BetaA × 1/3) + 0.35 + 0
Beta A = 1-0.35 × 3
Beta A = 0.65 × 3
Beta A = 1.95

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 100,800 chefs/head cooks employed in the United States in 2010 and 320,900 food service managers. Those numbers were projected to decrease to 98,800 and 311,000 by 2020. Which job was facing the larger percent decrease
Answer:
Foodservice managers
Explanation:
Considering the data available in the question we have the following:
In 2010 => Chefs / head cooks - 100,800 personnel
In 2010 => Foodservice managers = 320,900 personnel
In 2020 => Chefs/head cooks = 98,800
In 2020 => Foodservice managers = 311,000
The difference in chefs/head cooks = 100,800 - 98,000 = 2,000
While that of Food service managers = 320,900 - 311,000 = 9,900
Hence, percentage for chefs / head cooks = 2000/108900 = 1.98% decrease
Percentage of fold service managers = 9900/320900 = 3.09% decrease.
Hence, in this case, Foodservice managers facing a larger percentage decrease.
4. Suppose that the exchange rate adjusts so that interest-rate parity holds. Further, suppose the interest rate on a one-year South Koran bond is 6 percent and the interest rate on a one-year U.S. bond is 2 percent. a) If you expect the exchange rate in one year to be 1,100 South Korean won per USD, what is the exchange rate today
Answer:
The exchange rate today is 1,058.5
Explanation:
Interest rate on 1 year South Korean bond = 6% or 0.06
Interest rate on 1 year U.S. bond = 2% or 0.02
Expected Exchange rate in 1 year = 1,100 South Korean won per USD. Let the Exchange rate today = x
[(Interest rate on South Korean bond - Interest rate on U.S. bond)/(1 + Interest rate on 1 year U.S. bond)] + 1 = (Expected Exchange rate in 1 year)/(Expected Exchange rate today)
[(0.06 - 0.02)/(1 + 0.02)] + 1 = 1,100/x
x = [0.04/1.02] + 1 = 1,100/x
x = 1,100/1.0392
x = 1,058.50
So therefore, the exchange rate today is 1,058.5

Claremont Company specializes in selling refurbished copiers. During the month, the company sold 220 copiers for total sales of $836,000. The budget for the month was to sell 215 copiers at an average price of $4,000. The sales price variance for the month was:
Answer:
$44,000 Unfavourable
Explanation:
Given the above information, sales price variance is computed as
= (Actual sales price - Standard/Budgeted sales price) × Actual units sold
Actual sales price = $836,000/220 = $3,800
Standard sales price = $4,000
Actual units sold = 220
= ($3,800 - $4,000) × 220
= $44,000 Unfavourable
The above is unfavourable sales price variance because you can sell the copier at a higher price of $4,000 than the actual price of $3,800

You invest $100 in a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 0.12 and a standard deviation of 0.15 and a T-bill with a rate of return of 0.05. What percentages of your money must be invested in the risk-free asset and the risky asset, respectively, to form a portfolio with a standard deviation of 0.09?
Answer:
The answer is "[tex]60\% \ in \ risky \ asset[/tex]"
Explanation:
[tex]\to 0.09 = x(0.15)\\\\\to x=\frac{0.09}{0.15}\\\\\to x=\frac{9}{15}\\\\\to x= 0.6[/tex]
[tex]\to x = 0.6 \approx 60\%[/tex] in the risky asset.
The Beranek Company, whose stock price is now $30, needs to raise $13 million in common stock. Underwriters have informed the firm's management that they must price the new issue to the public at $25 per share because of signaling effects. The underwriters' compensation will be 6% of the issue price, so Beranek will net $23.50 per share. The firm will also incur expenses in the amount of $165,000. How many shares must the firm sell to net $13 million after underwriting and flotation expenses
Answer:
858,085 shares must be sold
Explanation:
