"XYZZ ADR represents 10% of the value of an XYZZ ordinary share. The ordinary shares trade on the London Stock Exchange, where the current price is 400 British Pounds (BP). The current exchange rate for the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar is $1.40. The ordinary share pays an annualized dividend of 12 BP, with payment made semi-annually. The XYZZ ADR is listed on the NYSE. If a customer places an order to buy $560,000 of the ADR on the NYSE, how much will the customer receive in each dividend payment?"
Answer:
$8,400
Explanation:
XYZZ ADR = 10% XYZZ ordinary share
Current price of ordinary shares trade = 400 British pounds
Pounds rate against the dollar = $1.40
Annualized Dividend pay = 12 pounds paid semianually
Dividend to be received on the purchase of $560,000 worth of ADR
Therefore ;
To calculate worth of XYZZ ADR
Dollar value of £400
400 * 1.4 = $560
10% of $560 = 10* 560 = $56 per ADR
Therefore, semiannual Dividend payed :
£12 / 2 = £6 every 6 months ; which is equivalent to (£6 * 10%) = £0.6 per ADR
Equivalent dollar value :
0.6 * $1.4 = $0.84 per ADR
AMOUNT OF ORDER TO BE PLACED / price per ADR
$560,000 / $56 = 10,000 shares
Dollar value of Dividend payed per share = $0.84
Dividend customer will receive :
10,000 * $0.84 = $8,400
A causal approach should be used when:_____.
1. there exists a knowledge of the research problem, the decision alternatives, and the relevant variables.
2. only speculative hypotheses exist.
3. the research methods can be highly flexible.
4. the researcher must show that one variable determines the values of another variable.
a. 1
b. 2
c. 1 and 4
d. 4
The correct answer is D. 4
Explanation:
In research, a causal approach is a research method used when the variables the researcher is studying have a cause/effect relationship. This means one of the variables originates the other (cause) or it is the consequence (effect). For example, if the researcher is studying the effects of literacy rate in access to job opportunities, the approach is causal. In this context, to use to approach it is key that the researcher wants to show one variable or factor determines the other through a cause/effect relationship. Thus, this is used when "the researcher must show that one variable determines the values of another variable".
A nonaffiliated owns 3% of an issuer's common stock. This person will be considered a control person if a spouse owns A) 8% of the issuer's common stock. B) any shares of the issuer's common stock. C) 5% of the issuer's common stock. D) 2% of the issuer's common stock.
Answer:
Option A. 8% of the issuer's common stock
Explanation:
If the accumulated ordinary share holding by the immediate family members is 10% or more than 10% then all the immediate family members who own ordinary shares of this company are considered control persons. This is because they can influence the decision making of the company and thus these personels are often termed as control person as they have some control of the company.
A coupon bond that pays semiannual interest is reported in the Wall Street Journal as having an ask price of 116% of its $1,000 par value. If the last interest payment was made 3 months ago and the coupon rate is 5.90%, the invoice price of the bond will be _________.
Answer:
1,172.50
Explanation:
Calculation for the invoice price
Since Semiannual is 6 month and the last interest payment was made 3 months ago that means we would have 3 months left.
Using this formula
Invoice price = Flat rate + Accrued interest
let plug in the formula
Invoice price = 1.16(1,000) + 25.00(3/6)
Invoice price=1,160+12.5
Invoice price=1,172.50
Therefore the invoice price will be 1,172.50

14. Two alternative measures of the overall level of prices are a. the inflation rate and the consumer price index. b. the inflation rate and the GDP deflator. c. the GDP deflator and the consumer price index. d. the cost of living index and nominal GDP
Answer:
c. the GDP deflator and the consumer price index.
Explanation:
Two alternative measures of the overall level of prices are the GDP deflator and the consumer price index.
The GDP deflator can be defined as a measure of the changes in prices for all of the finished goods and services produced domestically in an economy in a particular period of time, usually a year. This simply means that, the gross domestic product deflator measures the inflation in an economy.
Consumer price index (CPI) can be defined as a measure of the aggregate or average changes in price level of a weighted market basket of finished goods and services that consumers purchased over a specific period of time. The CPI is also a measure of the inflation in an economy over a specific period of time.

ACold Inc. Is a frozen-food distributor with 10 warehouses across the country. Ivan Tory, one of the warehouse managers, wants to make sure that the inventory policies used by the warehouse are minimizing inventory while still maintaining quick delivery to ACold's customers. Because the warehouse carries hundreds of different products, Ivan decided to study one. He picked Caruso's Frozen Pizza (CFP). Demand for CFPs averages 400 per day with a standard deviation of 152. Because ACold orders at least one truck from its supplier each day, ACold can essentially order any quantity of CFP it wants each day. In fact, ACold's computer system is designed to implement an order-up-to policy for each product. Ivan notes that any order for CFPs arrives four days after the order.

Suppose it uses an order up to level of 2410. What is its expected on-hand inventory?
Answer:
The expected Inventory on -hand = 429.074
Explanation:
From the given information;
Mean i,e Demand for CFPs averages = 400 per day
standard deviation = 152
Lead TIme = 4 days
period length = ACold Inc. orders at least one truck from its supplier each day,
Let consider the fact that the order is up to level of S = 2410
Then, the expected demand for the lead time is;
[tex]\mu[/tex] = Demand × (Lead time + period length)
[tex]\mu[/tex] = 400 × ( 4 + 1)
[tex]\mu[/tex] = 400 × 5
[tex]\mu[/tex] = 2000
the standard deviation for the lead time as well is :
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation sd[tex]\sqrt{lead \ time \times period \ length }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]152 \sqrt{4+1}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]152 \sqrt{5}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 339.88
The z - value for the test statistics can now be computed as:
[tex]z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{2410 - 2000}{339.88}[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{410}{339.88}[/tex]
[tex]z = 1.2063[/tex]
z = 1.21
The order upto level = Inventory on -hand + Inventory order - Backorders
The order upto level - Inventory order + Backorders = Inventory on -hand
Inventory on -hand = The order upto level - Inventory order + Backorders
where ;
the backorders = [tex]\sigma L(z)[/tex] and [tex]L(z)[/tex] = standard loss
From the tables of distribution function and inventory function for standard normal distribution function
L(z) = 0.0561
the backorders can now be = 340 × 0.0561
the backorders can now be = 19.074
Recall that :
Inventory on -hand = The order upto level - Inventory order + Backorders
consider the fact that the order is up to level of S = 2410
∴ Inventory on -hand = 2410 - 2000 + 19.074
Inventory on -hand = 410 + 19.074
Inventory on -hand = 429.074
The cost to manufacture one unit of Killian Audio Products' best-selling hearing aid, the Zone, is $67.50. The CFO of the company determines that if the company expands the output of its biggest U.S. plant by 20 percent, the unit cost would be only $42.50. This analysis is based on the concept of
Answer:
Economies of scale
Explanation:
Economies of scale refers to reducing total costs per unit by increasing total output. All companies have certain fixed costs, some companies have higher fixed costs than others, but they always exist. When you are producing something, the cost equation is production costs = variable costs per unit + average fixed costs per unit.
Variable costs vary directly with output, while fixed costs do not, e.g. salaries can be fixed, depreciation, rent, interests, etc. The higher the output, the lower the average fixed cost per unit.
Also, sometimes variable costs can also decrease as total output increases. E.g. you can get higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of materials and supplies.

An investor holds a 6% callable bond purchased at 105. If the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be A) equal to the yield to maturity (YTM). B) less than the coupon. C) greater than the yield to maturity (YTM). D) greater the current yield (CY).
Answer: less than the coupon
Explanation:
When a bond that is bought at a premium of 205 is called before the bond matures by the issuer, this implies that the accelerated premium loss will have to be reflected in calculated yield to maturity.
It should also be noted that the YTC is the lowest among the yields for the premium bonds. Therefore, if the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be less than the coupon.
Option B is correct.
Kevin is maximizing his utility consumption of almond butter sandwiches and sushi. There is a boom in fish in the summer and the price of sushi suddenly drops. What will the price change most likely change in Kevin's consumption behavior? Group of answer choices Kevin will stick to his original indifference curve to a point intersecting the new budget constraint. Kevin's budget constraint and indifference curves will not change since the price of sushi has not changed Kevin will change his new budget constraint to be tangent to the original indifference curve at some point. Kevin will increase consumption with the bundle of goods at a new higher indifference curve tangent to the new budget constraint.
Answer:
Kevin will increase consumption with the bundle of goods at a new higher indifference curve tangent to the new budget constraint.
Explanation:
Kevin's consumption possibilities frontier basically shows the budget constraint that Kevin faces when deciding what to purchase. It also represents the opportunity cost of consuming one product instead of another.
If the price of one of the products changes, then the whole consumption possibilities change and a new bundle of goods will be available.
E.g. Kevin had $10, sushi costs $5 and sandwiches cost $5. He can either buy 1 sushi and 1 sandwich, 2 sushis or 2 sandwiches. If the price of sushi decreases to $2.50, then Kevin's options increase. He can now purchase 2 sushis and 1 sandwich, 2 sandwiches or up to 4 sushis.

The balance sheet of ABC reports total assets of $400,000 and $450,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. The return on assets for the year is 10%. What is ABC's net income for the year?
Answer:
ABC net income for the year is $42,500
Explanation:
Beginning total assets = $400,000
Ending total assets = $450,000
Average total assets = Beginning total assets + Ending total assets ÷ 2
= ($400,000 + $450,000) ÷ 2
= $425,000
Return on assets = 10%
Therefore,
Net income ÷ Average total assets = Return on assets
Net income = Return on assets × Average total assets
Net income = 0.1 × Average total assets
= $425,000 × 0.1
= $42,500
A higher return on assets (ROA) means that the company is more efficient and more productive in controlling its balance sheet to generate profits.
What is a Return on Assets (ROA)?The term return on assets (ROA) refers to a financial measure that shows how much a company makes a profit compared to the total amount of its assets.
Business executives, analysts, and investors can use the ROA to determine how well a company uses its assets to make a profit.
Higher return on assets (ROA) means that the company is more efficient and more productive while a lower ROA indicates that there is room for improvement.
The formula for calculation of ROA:
[tex]\rm\,Return \; on \;Assets = \frac{Net \; Income}{Total \;Assets} \\\\As \;per \;the \;given \; information:\\\\10\% = \frac{Net \;Income}{\frac{\$400,000 + \$450,000}{2} } \\\\Net \;Income = \$42,500[/tex]

Jones Electric Motors uses a Kanban system to make motors for several garage door companies in the southeastern United States. The daily demand for motor housings used in manufacturing is 100 units. The average waiting time for a container of parts is 0.2 day. The processing time for a container of housings is 0.1 day, and a container holds 5 housings. If Jones wishes to use a 10% policy variable, how many containers are needed
Answer:
7 kanban containers are required
Explanation:
Given the following information :
Average Waiting time for containers = 0.2 days
Average processing time = 0.1 days / container
Daily usage (Demand rate) = 100 per day
Container capacity = 5 housings
Policy variable ( Alpha) = 10% = 0.1%
The required number of Kanban containers required by Jones Electric Motor can be calculated thus :
[Number of containers(x) * container size] = (Demand rate (waiting time + processing time)*(1 + alpha))
x * 5 = (100 * (0.2 + 0.1)*(1 + 0.1))
5x = [100 * (0.3)*(1.1)]
5x = [100 * 0.33]
5x = 33
x = 33 / 5
x = 6.6 containers
x = 7

PLEASE HELP Create a graph to show the effect (shortage or surplus) of raising the minimum wage. Discuss why these issues do or do not affect your claim(My claim is that we should raise minimum wage). Include the appropriate labels for your graph such as: price quantity supply demand surplus or shortage
Answer:
Raising the minimum wage has the effect of producing an excess supply of workers, because the wage is set at a price where supply of workers is higher than the demand of firms for hiring them, and since the wage is not allowed to go any lower, this excess supply remains unsolved.
This situation affects low-skilled workers in particular, and those who are not as productive to be paid the minimum wage, are essentially left out of the labor market.
Demand and supply are the two important factors of the market that determines the economic activities as well as the production and distribution series of the firms.
Demand has an inverse relationship with price and price has a positive relationship with supply. When the price of the quantity goes high, the demand for the quantity decreases, and the supply increases with the increase in price.
In the case of the laborers and the wage. The availability of the labor or the demand of the labor is more and the supply is less, the wages will be high and on the other hand, when the labor will be less demanded and the supply is more, the wages will be less. This is also the minimum higher wage policy of the firms.
The graph has been attached below to analyze the surplus supply.
