Buyers rush to purchase stocks in California vineyards following a forecast of a 30 percent decline in this year's grape harvest. What happens in the California wine market as a result of this announcement?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The demand curve for wine shifts to the right

Explanation:

As per the forecast, there should be a decline in grape harvest. This induces the buyers to purchase more quantity of grapes in an anticipation of decline in future harvest which would eventually make grapes costlier than now.

Production of wine depends upon the availability of inputs. Grape being one of the necessary inputs. This means if in future, price of grapes rise, the production of wine would be costlier, which would raise the price of wine.

As a consequence of such an announcement, the wine market would experience an immediate increase in demand for wine which would shift the demand curve to the right.

Empirical evidence finds that the average propensity to consume is falling: A. for neither the short-run nor the long-run consumption.
B. for only the long-run.
C. for both the short-run and the long-run.
D. for only the short-run.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Empirical evidence is the evidence which is defined as the information received through the senses, specifically by documentation as well as monitoring of patterns and behavior via experimentation.

APC stands for Average Propensity to Consume is the one which measures the percentage of income spent instead of savings. And it is evaluated by dividing the average household consumption by average household income.

So, if the empirical evidence states that the APC is falling or decreasing then it is only for short- run or short- period.

Answer:

D. for only the short-run.

Snap On Inc has a beta of 2.67 and the expected market return is 0.19. In addition, Treasury bills (risk-free asset) are currently yielding 0.02. Find the expected return for Snap On Inc.

Answers

Answer: Expected Return = 0.47

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, The Capital Asset Pricing Model formulae , we have that  

Expected Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta(Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

Where

market return is 0.19

 Beta =2.67

risk-free asset= 0.02

Expected Return=0.02 +2.67 X (0.19 - 0.02)

=0.02 +2.67 X (0.17)

0.02 +0.4539

Required Return=0.47

Therefore Expected Return  for Snap On Inc is 0.47

The Williamston Wingnuts minor league hockey team is considering building a new arena in Downtown Williamston. They have decided they will only build the arena if it will be Net Present Value positive based on 5 years of cash flows. The team’s accounting department has compiled the following costs: $2,000,000 for the land the arena would be built on. They bought this land in 2010. Construction costs of $28,000,000 $50,000 for a marketing study conducted last year to determine whether more fans would come to the games if they built a new arena. $50,000 for new signage in front of the building and around the city that will only be needed if the arena is built. $500 for a trip taken by team management to see the Portland (Mich.) Puckheads’ new arena at a game last season to gather design ideas. $50,000 for street lights in the parking lot and on Grand River Ave. that will only be needed if the arena is built. $100,000 in additional Net Working Capital will be needed at the beginning of the project, 60% of which will be recovered at the end of the project.What is the Total Year 0 cash flow for this project?

Answers

Answer:

$28,200,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total year 0 cash flow is shown below:

= Construction cost + new signage cost + street lights cost + additional net working capital  

= $28,000,000 + $50,000 + $50,000 + $100,000

= $28,200,000

The land cost, marketing cost, trip study are considered as a sunk cost . Hence, it is to be ignored

So in this case we considered these above four cost in order to find out the total year 0 cash flow

Followers of the efficient market hypothesis believe thatA) very few investors actually analyze or evaluate stocks before they make a purchase decision.B) the needed information to assess the market is available only to corporate insiders.C) investors react quickly and accurately to new information.D) individual traders can have a significant impact on the price of a security.

Answers

Answer: Followers of the efficient market hypothesis believe that "C) investors react quickly and accurately to new information.".

Explanation: The efficient market hypothesis states that the current price of an asset in the market reflects all available information that exists (historical, public and private). It considers that any news or future event that may affect the price of an asset, will make the price adjust so quickly, that it is impossible to obtain an economic benefit from it.

This adjustment happens so fast because investors act quickly and accurately in the face of new information.

Consider a fast food café of your choice. Apply 4 V’s of Operation. Describe each V as ‘High’, ‘Low’ or ‘Moderate’ with one liner reason.

Answers

Answer:

4 V's of Operation

The 4 V's of operation are Volume, Variety, Variation, and Visibility.  Let us take Mrs. Happy Food Cafe with over 100 outlets in Fiacton Town, as an example to illustrate the 4 V's of operation.

Volume: As a food cafe, the volume of production that will be required for some foods and drinks is so high that their provision requires repetitive tasks.  Based on this, procedures are normally standardized in order to achieve low cost for foods and drinks.  However, it is harder to standardize services, since personal touches are added by the servers based on their individual perceptions and abilities.

Variety: Mrs. Happy Food Cafe tries to bring some variety in her offerings to satisfy the various needs of her customers.  While variety is naturally low in the Food Cafe sector, some cafes like Mrs. Happy Good Cafe, try to satisfy customers' demands by varying the foods with Continental, African, Latino cuisines and dishes.

Variation: At Mrs Happy Food cafes, the food and drinks do not vary much as customers expect to be served the same quality of services at any of their cafes.  This is because the processes are standardized to achieve low cost.  So, the variation is moderate.

Visibility: Customers of Mrs Happy Food cafes are not able to see and track their experiences of the the processes for the food preparation that they order.   But, they can track the processes for the services because services are consumed as they are offered.  So, visibility is 'Moderate," as it is divided between the hard goods and the soft goods.  With respect to goods visibility is 'Low.'  However, with respect to the services the customers' visibility of processes is high.

Explanation:

The 4 V's of operation describe the different characteristics of the processes that various entities use to transform their inputs into outputs of goods and services.  They may be high, low, or moderate.  They include, volume, variety, variation, and visibility.
