Answer:

d- EVP has a short-term swing profit is $3000

Explanation:

Lets first understand what short-term swing profit is. Short-term swing profit is profit dependent upon a rule normally set by the securities & exchange commission which states that  any profits made by company insiders through the purchase and sale of share/stocks within six months must be returned to the company. Company insiders are people/employees working within the entity mostly having more than 10% of company's shares or employees such as executives, directors and managers.

Now It's not clear from the question what the purchase price of the shares was when EVP sold them on January 12 2016, assuming these shares were purchased at $20, then the short-term swing profit would be $2000 as at January. Then EVP purchases 100 shares at $20 and sells them at $30 per share as at june. The additional short-term swing profit would be $1000 (i.e $30-$20=$10 per share).

Therefore the total short-term swing profit is $3000

maria [59]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can answer the following.

This scenario best illustrates forward integration.

This is a case of forward integration because BlockWood Inc., which was facing similar difficulties with other buyers too, eventually stopped supplying raw materials and took to manufacturing furniture instead. SO they decided to fabricate their own furniture.

Companies make this decision as a process of vertical integration to expand and grow their business. In this case to produce and control their own products, eliminating the retailer that had decided to pay less money for the raw materials.

So now, Blockwood Inc. has the challenge to design and sell the products it is fabricating.

A On December 31, 2017, State Construction Inc. signs a contract with the state of West Virginia Department of Transportation to
larisa [96]

Answer:

2018: $78 million

2019: $468 million

2020: $234 million

Explanation:

Given that State Construction incurred costs as follows:

Year                         Cost

2018                         $60 million

2019                         $360 million

2020                        $180 million

Total cost = $60 million + $360 million + $180 million = $600 million

Percentage to total cost ratio is:

For 2018 = $60 million / $600 million = 0.1,

For 2019 = $360 million / $600 million = 0.6,

For 2020 = $180 million / $600 million = 0.3.

Revenue = Percentage to total cost ratio × Contract price.

Contract price = $780 million

For 2018, Revenue = 0.1 × $780 million = $78 million

For 2019, Revenue = 0.6 × $780 million = $468 million

For 2020, Revenue = 0.3 × $780 million = $234 million

Identify whether each statement describes the market period, the short run, or the long run.A.Output and the number of firms are
AfilCa [17]

Answer: A. Market Period.

B. Long Run

C. Short Run

Explanation:

A.Output and the number of firms are fixed

The MARKET PERIOD is a very short period that refers to a situation where all resources are FIXED. This means that Output itself is fixed and therefore cannot adjust to demand.

B.Plant capacity is flexible. Firms can enter and exit an industry.

This is the LONG RUN. A time where all resources are Variable. This means that factors such as Plant Capacity which is FIXED in the Short Run will simply be Variable and hence flexible in the long run. Other Firms are also free to enter or leave the Industry during this time.

C.Plant capacity and the number of firms are fixed. Firms can employ more labor if needed

This refers to the SHORT RUN which is a situation where AT LEAST one resource is FIXED and others are VARIABLE. As long as there is a Fixed Resource with some Variable Resources, it is the Short Run. Plant Capacity and Number of Firms are fixed but Labor is Variable. This makes this scenario a Short Run Scenario.
