Answer:
e. Lack of a Trend
Explanation:
The tradable market is the market in which the trading is to be done
It involves various attributes like parity, liquidity, fungibility but does not involve the lacking of a trend
Therefore according to the given situation, the option e is correct as it does not come under the tradable market characteristics
Therefore option e is right and the same is to be considered
Pharoah Inc. has decided to raise additional capital by issuing $173,000 facevalue of bonds with a coupon rate of 6%. In discussions with investment bankers, it was determined that to help the sale of thebonds, detachable stock warrants should be issued at the rate of one warrant for each $100 bond sold. The value of the bondswithout the warrants is considered to be $155,700, and the value of the warrants in the market is $20,760. The bonds sold in the market at issuance for $174,600.

Calculation for value assign to bonds
Value assign to bonds=(155,700/155,700+20,760)*174,600
Value assign to bonds=155,700/176,460*174,600
Value assign to bonds=154,059
Calculation for value assign to warrant
Value assign to warrant=(20,760/155,700+20,760)*174,600
Value assign to warrant=20,760/176,460*174,600
Value assign to warrant=20,541
Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
the company should choose method 1
Explanation:
Method 1 Method 2
Initial outlay $550,000 $830,000
operating costs (years 1,2,3) $160,000 $120,000
salvage value $125,000 $324,000
we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:
method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 = $853,982
method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996
What cycle time (in minutes) would match capacity and demand if demand is 100 units per day, there are two 8 hour shifts with 3 worker(s) each, and each worker gets two 18 minute breaks and one 40 lunch.
Answer:
24.24 minutes
Explanation:
The computation of the cycle time is shown below:
As we know that
Cycle time is
= Time ÷ quantity demanded
where,
Time is
= Total time - break time
= (no of workers × no of shifts × hours per shift) - (no of workers × no of shifts × 2 × short shifts + lunch break)
= (3 × 2 × 8 × 60 minutes) - (3 ×2 × (2 × 18) + 40)
= 2,880 - 456
= 2,424 minutes
And, the demand is 100
Now the cycle time is
= 2,424 ÷ 100
= 24.24 minutes

Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.
a. To manage inventory, the company is using
Continuous review system
Periodic review system
b. Find the order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Order quantity books
c. Find the reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Reorder point
Answer:
A. Continuous review system
B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books
C. Reorder point=987
Explanation:
a. To manage inventory, the company is using CONTINUOUS REVIEW SYSTEM
b. Calculation to find the order quality
Using this formula
Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)
Let plug in the morning
Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)
Order quantity = 2,049 Books
Calculation for annual demand
Annual demand=138*358 days
Annual demand=49,404
C. Calculation for reorder point
First step is to find the σL
73 % S.L. - z = 0.613
Using this formula to find the σL
σL = (Lσ^2)
Let plug in the formula
σL=√(7(13)^2)
σL= 34.39
Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula
Reorder point = d bar(L) + zσL
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)
Reorder point = 966+21
Reorder point=987

Assume you work for a valuation firm, and you have been given the assignment of valuing a local law firm comprising three partners and four associates. One partner plans to retire spoon, and the partners are trying to agree on the value of a one-third interest in the firm in order to buy out the departing partner's interest. The firm's revenue per partner is two times higher than that of the average firm of a similar size, but you soon discover that 80% of firm revenue is from one client.
Required:
Please raise one question about this scenario that you would want to address.
Answer:
Valuation of a law firm
One question to raise:
Which of the partners brought in this one powerful client? I hope it is not the retiring partner.
Explanation:
If the retiring partner had brought in the client and had been in charge of the client's business, the firm's valuation would be drastically influenced by these facts. It is likely that the client might retire the service as the retiring partner retires. This will jeopardize the revenue outlook of the firm, its future prospects, and its current value. However, if the retiring partner is not linked to this powerful client, then it may be that the firm's value will not be at risk. Again, over-dependence on one client for firm's revenue is does not augur well for the firm. Moreover, the margin of over-dependence is too high for comfort. There is serious need for a review of the relationship, not in terms of termination, but in terms of seeking for more big-ticket clients to relatively reduce the over-dependence.
Presented below is information for Headland Company.
1. Beginning-of-the-year Accounts Receivable balance was $21,400.
2. Net sales (all on account) for the year were $105,300. Headland does not offer cash discounts.
3. Collections on accounts receivable during the year were $81,300.
Required:
Compute Headland’s accounts receivable turnover and days to collect receivables for the year.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For account receivable turnover ratio
Accounts Receivable Turnover is
= Sales ÷ Average Receivables
Beginning Accounts Receivable $21,400
Add: Sales $105,300
Less: Cash Receipts $81,300
Ending Accounts Receivable $45,400
Now
Accounts Receivable Turnover is
= $105,300 ÷ ($21,400 + $45,400) ÷ 2
= 3.15 times
Now days to sell is
= 365 ÷ 3.15 times
=116 days

f. Assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the a location base in both production departments. What is the departmental predetermined overhead rate in the Assembly department? (Round your answer to
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a) To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (77,200 + 3,000 + 14,000) / 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.42 per machine hour
b) To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Job E:
Allocated MOH= 5,000*9.42
Allocated MOH= $23,550
c) Total cost= 21,600 + 22,600 + 47,100
Total cost= $91,300
d) Selling price= 91,300*1.2= $109,560
e) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (24,000/3,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9 per machine hour
f) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (53,200/7,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.6 per machine hour
Mark or Make is a bourbon distillery. Sales have been steady for the past three years, and operating costs have remained unchanged. On January 1, 2019, Mark or Make took advantage of a special deal to prepay its rent for three years at a substantial savings. The amount of the prepayment was $60,000. The income statement items (excluding the rent) are shown here.
2019 2020 2021
Gross profit on sales 350,000 349,000 351,000
Operating expense 210,000 210,000 210,000
Assume that the rental is deducted on the corporate tax purposes in 2019 and that there are no other temporary differences between taxable income and pretax accounting income. In addition, there are no permanent differences between taxable income and pretax accounting income. The corporate tax rate for all three years is 30%.
Required:
Construct income statements for 2019, 2020, and 2021 under the following approaches to interperiod income tax allocation:
a. No allocation
b. Comprehensive allocation
c. Do you believe that no allocation distorts Mark or Make’s net income? Explain.
Answer:
a. No allocation
2019 2020 2021
Gross Profit on Sales 350,000 349,000 351,000
Less: Operating Expense 210,000 210,000 210,000

Less: Corporate Taxes at 30% 42,000 41,700 42,300
Net Income $98,000 $97,300 $98,700
Considerations for No Allocation
- Taxes are to be deducted from Gross Profit.
- Rent not to be deducted from Gross Profit.
b. Comprehensive Allocation
2019 2020 2021
Gross Profit on Sales 350,000 349,000 351,000
Less: Operating Expense 210,000 210,000 210,000
Gross Revenue 140,000 139,000 141,000
Rent (Prepaid) 60,000 60,000 60,000
Revenue after Rent paid 80,000 79,000 81,000
Less: Corporate Taxes at 30% 24,000 23,700 24,300
Net Income 56,000 55,300 56,700
Considerations for Comprehensive Allocation
- Taxes are to be deducted from Gross Profit.
- Rent is to be deducted from Gross Profit.
c. No allocation distorts Mark or Make’s Net Income for all three years. This is because if Rent is not allocated taxes will be calculated on Gross Revenue. That is to say, Rent is a Non-Operating Expense and hence is to be deducted from Revenue to Calculate the Taxes. When Revenue is reduced, obviously, the taxes will be reduced. Hence, less income is seen in Comprehensive Income Statement and more Revenue is seen in Simple - Non Comprehensive Statement.
Dom has $90,000 that he wishes to invest now in order to use the accumulation for purchasing a retirement annuity in five years. After consulting with his financial advisor, he has been offered four types of fixed-income investments, labeled as investments A, B, C, and D.
Investments A and B are available at the beginning of each of the next five years (call them years 1–5). Each dollar invested in A at the beginning of a year returns $1.20 (a profit of $0.20) two years later, in time for immediate reinvestment. Each dollar invested in B at the beginning of a year returns $1.36 three years later.
Investments C and D will each be available just once in the future. Each dollar invested in C at the beginning of year 2 returns $1.66 at the end of year 5. Each dollar invested in D at the beginning of year 5 returns $1.12 at the end of year 5.
Your uncle is obligated to make a balloon payment on an existing loan in the amount of $24,000 at the end of year 3. He wants to make that payment out of the investment account.
1) Devise an investment plan for your uncle that maximizes the value of the investment account at the end of five years. How much money will be available for the annuity in five years?
2) Show the network diagram corresponding to the solution in (1). That is, label each of the arcs in the solution and verify that the flows are consistent with the given information.
Answer:
First of all, you must invest enough money in B in order to pay your debt.
present value = future value / expected return
present value = $24,000 / $1.36 = $17,647.06
you have $90,000 - $17,647.06 = $72,352.94 to invest in A.
at the end of year 2, you will have:
future value = present value x expected return = $72,352.94 x $1.20 = $86,823.53
then you should invest that money ($86,823.53) in invested D and at the end of year 4 you will have:
future value = $86,823.53 x $1.66 = $144,127.06
finally, you should invest $144,127.06 in investment E and at the end of ear 5 you will have:
future value = $144,127.06 x $1.12 = $161,422.31
2) it is really hard to draw a diagram without drawing tools, but i will try
⇒ invest $17,647.06 in B ⇒ year 3, collect $24,000
from B and pay off debt
today
$90,000
⇒ invest $72,352.94 ⇒ year 2, invest ⇒ year 4, invest
in A $86,823.53 in D $144,127.06 in E
continues ... ⇒ year 5, collect $161,422.31 from E
Jim wants to start his own business and needs $10,000 for working capital. He applies for a business loan at FirstBank. The banker tells Jim that the Bank will make the loan if Jim's father will personally guarantee repayment of the loan. Jim assures the banker that his father will do this. The banker calls Jim's father to confirm that he will guarantee Jim's $10,000 loan. Jim's father says: "Sure thing, I'd do anything for that boy." The bank makes the loan to Jim. Jim's new business is not successful and Jim is unable to repay the loan. Jim has no money. Jim's father has buckets of money. The bank sues Jim's father to recover the unpaid amount of the loan plus interest plus attorneys' fees and costs of collecting the debt.
Which of the following is true?
A. Jim's father can make a strong argument that he is not liable to pay his son's debt because the Bank did not have him sign a written guaranty agreement.
B.The oral agreement to guaranty the loan is not enforceable because it is contrary to public policy.
C.Jim’s father is liable to pay his son’s debt because the Bank partially performed under the loan agreement.
D.If it can be proven in a court of law that Jim's father orally agreed to guarantee the loan, Jim's father will be held liable for the repayment of the loanbecause 'a deal is a deal'.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
From the different options provided, in this scenario the one that is true is that Jim's father can make a strong argument that he is not liable to pay his son's debt because the Bank did not have him sign a written guaranty agreement. In order for the bank to properly hold Jim and his father to the agreement they needed to create a contract and have Jim's father sign and agree to the contract in person. Since the bank failed to do so, then Jim's father can fight the lawsuit. Agreement over the phone is not proper procedure and would not hold up in court due to the bank not being able to properly verify who the individual on the other side of the phone call truly was or if he was really Jim's Father.

Every year, management and labor renegotiate a new employment contract by sending their proposals to an arbitrator, who chooses the best proposal (effectively giving one side or the other $3 million). Each side can choose to hire, or not hire, an expensive labor lawyer (at a cost of $300,000) who is effective at preparing the proposal in the best light. If neither hires a lawyer or if both hire lawyers, each side can expect to win about half the time. If only one side hires a lawyer, it can expect to win nine tenths, or 0.9, of the time. Use the given information to fit in the expected payoff, in dollars, for each cell in the matrix.

The Nash equilibrium for this game is for Management to_____a lawyer, and for Labor to_____a lawyer.
Answer: hire; hire
Explanation:
The Nash equilibrium for this game is for Management to hire a lawyer, and for Labor to hire a lawyer.
The Nash Equilibrium is the solution in a game where the parties are not cooperative with one another and refers to the strategy at which neither party would not want to move from as it would not benefit them to do so.
The Nash Equilibrium here is that they both hire a lawyer because if one side decides not to hire a lawyer, they could win only one tenths of the time. Both of them will therefore hire lawyers and neither would go without a lawyer on the chance that the other hires a lawyer.
In early 2016, the same Germany machinery company has interest from four prospective clients from emerging markets: Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa. They all want to buy ten machines, but the factory can only produce ten in time. Therefore, the company has to choose only one client. Given the volatility of the domestic currencies of the four prospective clients, the CFO would like to choose the client which is least likely to cancel the order due to currency volatility. The invoice comes due on June 30, 2016. According to volatility alone, which prospective client would be most likely to cancel the order?
Answer:
Brazil
Explanation:
According to the picture below, Brazilian real is the currency that has the lowers currency volatility, its spot is 4.0685, and its forward is 4.1820. These values are way lower than the values of the other three currencies, and for this reason, the CFO should choose the Brazilian client, clearly.
Indonesia is the country that is most likely to cancel this order. This is due to its high volatility.
Following the volatility chart that is attached to this question we can clearly spot that Indonesia has the most likelihood to cancel the order.
The volatility of the currency of the country Indonesia is shown to be high and this high volatility is very much going to have an impact on trade.
When there is a weakness in the currency of a nation, the cost of import would go up.

At year-end 2018, Marvel Company total assets were $4.5 million, and its accounts payable were $850,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $5.5 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Marvel typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $ 2.25 million in 2018, and retained earnings were $150,000. Marvel has arranged to sell $25,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 2.5%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.
Required:
a. What were Marvel's total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018?
b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019?
Answer:
Marvel Company
a. Marvel's total long-term debt in 2018 = $1,250,000
a2. Marvel's total liabilities = $2,100,000 ($850,000 +$1,250,000)
b. New long-term debt financing needed in 2019 = $810,156
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year-end 2018:
Total assets = $4.5 million
Accounts payable $850,000
Sales = $5.5 million
Common Stock = $2.25 million
Retained Earnings = $150,000
Long-term debt = Total assets Minus (Accounts payable + Equity)
= $4,500,000 - ($850,000 + 2,250,000 + 150,000)
= $1,250,000
Year 2019:
Sales = $6,875,000 ($5.5 million * 1.25)
Net profit margin on sales = $171,875 (2.5% * $6,875,000)
Dividends = 55% of earnings = $94,531 (55% * $171,875)
Retained earnings for the year = $77,344
Retained earnings for 2018: 150,000
Retained earnings, 2019: $227,344
Common Stock = $2,275,000 ($2,250,000 + $25,000)
Total equity = $2,502,344 ($2,250,000 + 227,344)
Total assets = $5,625,000 ($4.5 million * 1.25)
Accounts payable = $1,062,500 ($850,000 * 1.25)
Long-term debt = Total Assets - (Total equity + Accounts Payable)
= $5,625,000 - ($2,502,344 + 1,062,500)
= $2,060,156
Increase in long-term debt = $810,156 ($2,060,156 - $1,250,000)

Three explorers are getting kidnapped by an evil tribe deep in the jungle, and their life now depends on their ability to correctly answer the following challenge the evil tribe's chief has for them. The explorers are tied to three trees facing each other and are presented with the chief's 5 wives: 3 brunettes, and 2 blondes. The three explorers are now blindfolded, and the chief picks three of his five wives to stand behind the trees the explorers are tied to, one behind each tree. The remaining two wives disappear from view. Then the blindfolds come off, and each explorer is able to see the two wives that are standing behind his two colleagues, but not the one behind himself. Each explorer now has up to 10 minutes time to think, after which each has to correctly answer what hair color the wife has that is standing behind him, or lose his life. When you, as one of the three explorers, gain your sight after the blindfold comes off, you see two brunettes standing behind your two colleagues. And now your life depends on figuring out who is behind you: a blonde or a brunette?
Answer:
Brunette
Explanation:
Originally there were 3 brunettes and 2 blondes. If once you are able to see, you realize that 2 brunettes are standing behind your friends, that means that behind you there could be one of two blondes or the remaining brunette.
The possibility of the wife behind you being a blonde is 2/3 or 67%, while the chance of her being brunette is only 33%. But this question is not about probability, instead it is about game strategy. I would bet that the wife behind me is a brunette.
Imagine that the two women that you saw were blondes, then you would immediately say brunette. Even if you only saw one blonde wife, your obvious choice would be brunette. This applies to all 3 friends and the chief is gambling against you all 3. He will not give any of you any type of advantage.
The possibility of the wife behind you being a blonde is 2/3 or 67%, while the prospect of her being brunette is barely 33%. But this question isn't about probability, instead, it's about game strategy. I'd bet that the wife behind me could be a brunette.
BrunetteOriginally there have been 3 brunettes and a pair of blondes. If once you're ready to see, you realize that 2 brunettes are standing behind your friends, which means that behind you there may be one in every of two blondes or the remaining brunette. Imagine that the 2 women that you just saw were blondes, then you'd immediately say brunette. Even if you simply saw one blonde wife, your obvious choice would be brunette. So this applies to all or any 3 friends and also the chief is gambling against you all 3. Then He won't give any of you any variety of advantages.

Required:
Using the student's desired return, what is the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday?
Answer:
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
Explanation:
Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.
We therefore proceed with the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday
The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?
P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)
PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288
PV at 65 = $6,282.02
Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.
Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:
PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)
Where;
PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15
Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969
PV at 50 = $2,621.27
Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
What is considered revenue recognition?

Management is considering a plant expansion program for the following year that will permit an increase of $3,760,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $1,800,000 but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs.
Required:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____
Total fixed costs $_____
2. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____
Unit contribution margin $_____
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
a. In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break-even point.
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
c. In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point.
d. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.
e. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
Answer:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs = $17,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $1,500,000 = $22,000,000 Total fixed costs = $10,000,0002. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost = $22,000,000 / 500,000 = $44 Unit contribution margin = $94 - $44 = $503. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
break even point = $10,000,000 / $50 = 200,000 units4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
break even point = $11,800,000 / $50 = 236,000 units5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
units = ($11,800,000 + $15,000,000) / $50 = 536,000 units6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
total units sold 500,000 + 40,000 = 540,000total contribution margin = 540,000 x $50 = $27,000,000operating income = $27,000,000 - $11,800,000 = $15,200,0007. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
operating income = (500,000 x $50) - $11,800,000 = $13,200,000represents a decrease of $15,000,000 - $13,200,000 = $1,800,0008. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.The following selected transactions were completed by Capers Company during October of the current year:
