Answer
<u>Market surplus will lower the prices for goods and increase the consumer quantity demand for the products.</u>
Explanation
A market surplus is when there is excess supply. The quantity supply in this case is greater than the quantity demanded. Producers will be faced with a hard time to sell all their goods. This will make them lower their prices to make their products more appealing to consumers. Firms will also have to lower market prices in order to stay competitive. In response to the reduced prices, consumers will increase the quantity demanded thus moving the market to an equilibrium price and quantity. This is a case where excess supply has exerted a downward pressure on the prices of the products.
Answer:
The new portfolio beta is 1.31 rounded off to two decimal places.
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
- w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio
The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,
The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31 - 1 * 1 = 25.2
The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,
Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20
Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31
Answer:
Cost of goods sold to be reported in consolidated financial statement = $1,000,000
Explanation:
Whenever there is 100% or more than 50% holding in a company, then equity method is followed under which all of the items are to be consolidated, but in case where there are inter transfers that is transfer from holding to subsidiary or vice-versa then such transactions, profit not realized is to be eliminated.
In case where inventory is transferred to subsidiary after adding profit by holding company, then in case if that inventory is sold to third party by year end then entire profit is recognized even the profit added by holding to cost of goods sold to subsidiary.
Where in case such inventory is not sold further by subsidiary to third party and is still held in the stock then such profit added on sale by holding to subsidiary is eliminated.
In our case the entire inventory is sold to third party by the year end.
Therefore, entire profit will be recognized and cost of goods sold to be shown in consolidated financial statements = $600,000 + $400,000 = $1,000,000.
