A firm’s value depends on the positive net income generated in the past. True False A firm’s value depends on the firm’s ability to generate positive cash flows now and in the future True False When determining the value of a firm, which of the following statements is true? • Inversters are risk neutral. Other things equal they prefer to pay more stocks that are less risky and have uncertain cash flows • Investers love risk. Other things equal they prefer to pay more for stocks that are more risky and have uncertain cash flows.
Their objectives are often huge which requires a lump-sum to be invested. The older people choose this security also because it gives fixed income which is guaranteed, there is minimal risk and less management needed. 8) What is laddering GICs? Pros and cons? Ans): Laddering GIC(s) is a proven method of investing (also known as a laddering strategy) it can help you reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations and increase your portfolio's overall return.
Based on that, Corporation B is desirable to Corporation A as it has a greater net present value. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is defined as the discount rate that equates the present value of the project’s free cash flows with the project’s initial cash outlay (Keown, A. J., Martin, J. D., & Petty, J. W. (2014). Based on the Internal Rate of Return rule, an investment is suitable if the Internal Rate of Return exceeds the required return, it should be rejected otherwise. Based on that, Corporation B is preferred over Corporation A since the former has a higher Internal Rate of Return. Examining the above, the Net Present Value and the Internal Rate of Return are closely related.
This is when the objective of the firm is achieving as high a total revenue as possible and occurs when marginal revenue is equal to zero, as shown on the graph. Another objective of a firm may be profit satisficing, where a firm makes a reasonable level of profit that satisfies its stakeholders without maximising profit. Examples of this in the leisure market may include businesses that have only just set up, as they perhaps do not have the work force to maximise profits yet and instead settle for a satisfying level of profit. The final objective of a business may be utility maximisation. Utility maximisation is the aim of trying to achieve as much satisfaction as possible.
The trade agreement improves the flow of trade across goods and services and to provide a firm foundation for the future economic relationship between Australia and China. The Free Trade graph shows that the equilibrium of Qe,Pe exists in closed economy not engaging in trade. When the free trade agreement is implemented the country imports goods from another country that are of a lower domestic cost compared to themselves enabling the price of that good to be lowered shown by P1. Supply is therefore reduced by the importing country as the price of the good has been lowered. Point B on the graph shows the demand increase as the new imported good lowers the price and therefore the quantity demanded
When there is a greater disposable personal income this will allow consumption to increase due to the money saved from the lower tax rate. Through consumption increasing this will favour economic because the gross domestic product has increased. When government expenditures are increased it will have a multiplier effect on aggregate demand. Because of the multiplier effect, the government can increase spending by only a small amount to achieve a larger, necessary increase in aggregate demand. By doing so, the economy will be able to attain an equilibrium level of real
First, members of wealthy tourist-generating nations can be viewed as conspicuous consumers of the valuable resources of the developing world. The exploitation of these countries on the pleasure periphery has been interpreted by some commentators as a form of neocolonialism, although few tourists would analyse their own behaviour in such a stark manner. Second, individual holiday choices made amongst complex status hierarchies of destinations can also be understood as conspicuous consumption, especially when considered in terms of ego-enhancement motivation and trip-dropping. However, it can be demonstrated that tourism motivation is not just materialistic, but reflects a wide range of other psychological and cultural factors. Furthermore, postmodern tourism is said to break down traditional boundaries and replace them with a universe in which image, illusion and irony predominate (see also postmodernism).
In a highly competitive business world, on a firm’s priority list is the subject of increasing profit and reducing cost. One might than pose the question, has this put them out of business (mom and pop store)? The answer is absolutely not, but rather, they too benefit from cheaper prices as they continue to buy in bulk and continue to operate as the name suggest, convenient
Reducing taxes is the best way to facilitate the creation of actual wealth and have the economy reach its growth potential. Wanna-be central planners and welfare-state bureaucrats cannot compete with the progress and material improvement that a rapidly growing free-market economy offers. Bush’s tax cut may have flaws, but being too big or too radical is not one of them. This economy needs a tax cut, the bigger and sooner the better. The president’s plan is both politically possible and a practical starting point and I believe Americans would be well served by its enactment.
When these new people enter the daily workings of American society, they contribute positively to both employment and consumption. Immigration critics argue that the net benefits to the U.S. economy from immigration, aside from the large gains to the immigrants themselves, are small. The mere fact that incomes are actually increasing despite the large increase in immigrants seems to support immigration all the
