2.) Which of the following is true? A. The convenience yield is always positive or zero. B. The convenience yield is always positive for an investment asset. C. The convenience yield is always negative for a consumption asset. D. The convenience yield measures the average return earned by holding futures contracts.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": The convenience yield is always positive or zero.

Explanation:

The convenience yield reflects the premium of possessing an asset instead of one of its derivates or contracts. This situation arises in front of inverted markets, where holding the asset itself may bring more profits than purchasing a derivate of the same asset.

The convenience yield tends to be positive or zero because the prices of assets cannot fall below zero. In other words, they are not negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

Final answer:

convenience yield is a benefit of owning a physical asset over a futures contract. The yield is typically positive or zero. In the context of investment and consumption assets, the yield assumptions may vary.

Explanation:

The question is focusing on the concept of convenience yield in finance and its relationship with investment and consumption assets. Convenience yield is the non-monetary advantage or benefit that a holder gets from owning a physical good or an asset over a futures contract on that asset. If you decide to hold an asset as opposed to a futures contract on the asset, it means because the net benefits – that is the benefits from holding the asset, minus the benefits of holding the contract – must be nonzero. Therefore, option A is correct: The convenience yield is always positive or zero.

Moreover, for an investment asset, which is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in value, the convenience yield is generally assumed to be zero because holding it delivers no utility beyond the financial returns it provides. So option B is not always true. The convenience yield being negative for a consumption asset, an asset purchased for current use, is also unlikely (option C is incorrect). Such a negative value would suggest that owning the asset is somehow disadvantageous - which contradicts the reason for purchasing a consumption asset. Lastly, the convenience yield does not measure the average return earned on futures contracts, therefore option D is also incorrect.

Answer:

iRobot

The amount of cash collected from customers during fiscal 2015 = $583,155.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Allowance at January 2, 2016 = $33

Allowance at December 27, 2014 = $67

Accounts Receivable at January 2, 2016 = $104,679

Accounts Receivable at December 27, 2014 = $71,056

Revenue for 2015, year ended Jan 2, 2016 = $616,778

Bad debt expense for 2015 = $0

Computation of the Cash collected from customers during fiscal 2015:

Accounts Receivable

Flounder Corporation began operations on January 1, 2020 when $230,000 was invested by shareholders of the company. On March 1, 2020, Flounder purchased for cash $101,000 of debt securities that it classified as available-for-sale. During the year, the company received cash interest of $8,900 on these securities. In addition, the company has an unrealized holding loss on these securities of $13,100 net of tax. Determine the following amounts for 2020: (a) net income, (b) comprehensive income, (c) other comprehensive income, and (d) accumulated other comprehensive income (end of 2020). (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15 or parentheses e.g. (15).)

Answers

Answer:(a) $8,900

(b) -($4,200)

(c) -($13,100)

(d) -($13,100)

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount invested by shareholders = $230,000

Debt securities purchased for cash = $101,000

Received cash interest on securities = $8,900

unrealized holding loss on these securities = $13,100

(a) Net Income = $8,900(Cash interest received)

(b) Comprehensive Income = Net Income - unrealized holding loss

= $8,900 - $13,100

= -($4,200)

= -($13,100)

(d) Accumulated other comprehensive income:

Ending Balance of other comprehensive income = Beginning Balance + During this year

= $0 + (-$13,100)

= -($13,100)

The standard costs and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 2,300 actual units of product are Standard Costs Direct materials (per completed unit) 1,040 kilograms @$8.65 Actual Costs Direct materials 2,300 kilograms @ $8.05 Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The amount of direct materials price variance is

Answers

Answer:

$1,380

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard Direct materials cost = $8.65

Actual Direct materials cost = $8.05

Actual Direct materials = 2,300

Standard Direct materials = 1,040

Now,

The amount of direct materials price variance

= (Standard cost - Actual cost ) × Actual quantity

= ( $8.65 - $8.05 ) × 2,300

= 0.6 × 2,300

= $1,380

Rates on fixed, floating, installment and mortgage loans were reduced by 0.3 percent (from 9.3% to 9.0% etc.). Which were impacted the most

Answers

Answer:

This depends on the type of interest charged and the length of the loan. Generally speaking, floating loans should adjust semi-automatically to changes in interest rates. So any change affects them directly.

On the other hand, fixed rate loans, most mortgages and installment loans generally carry a fixed interest rate that doesn't depend on the market interest rate. Some mortgages (around 33% of total) are variable rate mortgages that are affected by changes in the market interest rate, but they adjust on a yearly basis.

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 8% note payable, with a face value of $9,000. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1

Answers

Answer:

$9,236.71

Explanation:

The computation of the maturity value of the note is shown below:-

Interest Amount = ($9000 × 8%) × 120 ÷ 365

= $720 × 120 ÷ 365

= $236.71

So, the Maturity Value is

= Face value + Interest amount

= $9,000 + $236.71

= $9,236.71

Therefore for computing the maturity value we simply applied the above formula.

Suppose that the average annual return on the Standard and Poor's 500 Index from 1969 to 2005 was 14.8 percent. The average annual T-bill yield during the same period was 5.6 percent. What was the market risk premium during these 10 years?

Answers

Answer:

Market risk premium = 9.2%

Explanation:

The market risk premium is the difference between the market returns and the t bill yield. To calculate the market risk premium of this duration we will need to subtract the average annual t bill yield from the average annual return on the standard and poor's 500 index.

14.8-5.6=9.2
