Answer:

What would have been the percent earned or lost on the position is 23.2%

Explanation:

Proceeds of the sale $43 X 100 = $4,300 Margin requirement: .6 x $4,300 = $2,580

When the price of the stock rises to $49, the investor loses $600 ($4,300 - $4,900). ThereforeThe percentage lost on the invested funds is ($600)/$2,580 = (23.2%).

Answer:  Profit of charging the optimal block price is 73.5 cent or $0.74.

Explanation:

Given that,

The inverse demand function: P = 25 − 3Q (in cents)

Cost of producing = C(Q) = 1 + 4Q (in cents)

By charging the optimal block price, the firm produce at a point where

Price = Marginal Cost (MC)

MC = 4

Therefore,

25 − 3Q = 4

Q = 7

Consumer Surplus = Profit of charging the optimal block price=0.5 × (y-intercept of the demand curve -MC) × Q

= 0.5(25 - 4) × 7

= 73.5 cent

It is equivalent to $0.74.

Trapper Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Und
mariarad [96]

Answer:

EPS

Plan I     $2.03 per share

Plan II    $1.78 per share

Explanation:

Plan I

As this plan is all equity plan, so there is no debt and no interest expense as well.

In the absence of taxes, We will use the EBIT  in the calculation of EPS

EPS  = Net Earning / Outstanding numbers of shares = $375,000 / 185,000 = $2.03 per share

Plan II

In this levered plan we have debt and equity combination. We also have to deduct the interest expense from EBIT to calculate the net income.

Interest Expense = $2,700,000 x 5% = $135,000

Net Income  = EBIT - Interest Expense = $375,000 - $135,000 = $240,000

EPS = Net Income / Outstanding numbers of shares = $240,000 / 135,000 = $1.8 per share

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C and D.

A perfectly competitive firm has a large number of buyers and sellers. These sellers produce homogenous products. There is no restriction on entry and exit in the market. The firms are price takers.  

The market for electricity is not a competitive market because there are few sellers in the market and there is difficulty in entry and exit because of the high cost involved.
