Devon Baines is a board member with DDO Inc., a large pharmaceutical firm. At a recent meeting, the board votes to take over a s

maller competitor whose shares trade in the OTC market and are priced at $50 per share. DDO will offer $75 per share and the offer will become public ten hours after the meeting. Baines decides to purchase shares in the target firm immediately after the meeting, but when he calls his broker to place the order, he is informed the price of the target firm is $72. The market is most likely: Weak form. Strong form. Semi-strong form. Inefficient.

Answer: Strong form.

Explanation:

The Strong form efficient market is one where all the information regarding a stock is are already reflected in the stock's price. All information means that both private and public information are accounted for.

The plan to offer $75 per share for the small competitor was decided in a private board meeting yet as soon as the meeting was over, the proposed price had already reflected in the OTC market price. This shows that the market is strong form efficient.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are total 5 batches and two boards are selected from each batch for inspection.

Let the boards are numbered from 1 to 5.

If the selected boards are 1 and 2, then it is represented in pair as (1, 2).

If the selected boards are 1 and 3, then it is represented in pair as (1, 3).

Similarly, other pairs can be obtained.

a) Let X be the number of defective boards observed among the two inspected.

If the boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a lot of five, then

(1,2),x=2; (1,3),x=1; (1,4),x=1; (1,5),x=1;

(2,3),x=1; (2,4),x=1; (2,5),x=1;

(3,4),x=0;\ (3,5),x=0;\ (4,5),x=0.(3,4),x=0; (3,5),x=0; (4,5),x=0.

P(X=0)=  3/10 =0.3

P(X=1)={6 \over 10}=0.6P(X=1)=  6/10 =0.6

P(X=2)={1 \over 10}=0.1P(X=2)=  1/10 =0.1

b)

x                  0               1                    2

p(x)            0.3           0.6                0.1

​

​μ  X  =0⋅0.3+1⋅0.6+2⋅0.1=0.8

σ  X ² =(0−0.8)²  ⋅0.3+(1−0.8)²  ⋅0.6+(2−0.8)² ⋅0.1=0.36

μₓ=0.8, σX  =0.6

Mkey [24]

Answer:

c. 80 dollars.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost represents the next best alternative missed.  It is the forfeited benefits arising from choosing one option over the others. Opportunity cost is expressed as a value or the worth of the forgone alternative.

Lisa's opportunity cost is $ 80.  She has valued going out with her friend at $ 80, which is the highest value amongst her three choices. Since she can not engage in all the three activities at the same time, the next best alternative to writing her exam is the opportunity cost.

The Fime Corporation uses a standard costing system. The following data have been assembled for December: Actual direct labor-ho
Burka [1]

Answer:

5,900= standard quantity

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual direct labor-hours worked 6,200 hours

Standard direct labor rate $7 per hour

Labor efficiency variance $2,100 Unfavorable

<u>To calculate the standard hour, we need to use the following formula</u>:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

-2,100 = (standard quantity - 6,200)*7

-2,100= 7standard quantity  - 43,400

41,300/7 = standard quantity

5,900= standard quantity

A company purchased a delivery van for $23,000 with a salvage value of $3,000 on September 1, 2008. It has an estimated useful l
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The value to depreciate is always the total asset value minus the salvage value. In this case, $23,000-$3000=$20,000. The straight line method formula is:

Depreciation  = value to depreciate/useful years

Depreciation (year) = $20,000/5= $4,000

This formula calculates de depreciation expense each year from the purchase date, which means that on septemeber 1 of 2009 the company will register a depreciation expense of $4,000. But, from september 1,2008 to  December 31, 2008 is less than a year we have to calculate the depreciation for each month.

Depreciation (month)= $4,000/12= $333,33

But since that depreciation would be for december 1, we need to calculate the depreciation for each day

Depreciation (day) = $333,33/31 = $10,75

From september 1 to december 1: 3 months, then $333,333 x 3= $1000

And from december 1 to december 31: 30 days, then $10,75 x 30= $322, 58

The depreciation expense on December 31 is: $1000+$322,= $1322,58 that is almost $1,333. On January 1 the depreciation expense would be $1,333.
