Answer:

firm-specific risk.

Explanation:

Firm-specific risk can be regarded as unsystematic risk tht is associated with a specific investment in a particular firm, and as regards to theory of finance this is completely diversifiable.

Under this risk, It is possible for an investor to lower their risk through increament of the number of investments that they are having in their portfolio. As regards investor,

specific risk can be regarded as hazard which applies to a specific company.

It should be noted that The risk that cannot be diversified away is firm-specific risk.

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for a good is likely to be elastic​ :

A. the greater the proportion of budget share spent on the good.

B. the greater the number of close substitutes for the good.

C. the longer the available time during which consumers can adjust.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Price is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because consumers have more time to search for suitable alternatives

The more close substitutes a good has, the more elastic its demand. This is because if price is increased, consumers can easily shift to the consumption of an alternative product

the greater the proportion of budget share spent on the good, the more elastic the demand for the good

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the sales proportion:

Windows= 8/10= 0.8

Doors= 2/10= 0.2

Now, the selling and unitary variable cost per composite unit:

Selling price= 106*0.8 + 256*0.2= $136

Unitary varaible price= 65.5*0.8 + 178*0.2= $88

The break-even point:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 624,000 / (136 - 88)

Break-even point (units)= 13,000

Finally, the number of units for each product:

Windows= 13,000*0.8= 10,400

Doors= 13,000*0.2= 2,600

Answer:

False

Explanation:

All of the statements being made are False. Productivity is measured by stats. For example, in any given month a certain number of products are produced by a fixed number of employees, the next month the same value is calculated and compared with the previous month. This lets you know if productivity is increasing or decreasing. The quality of anything depends on the time and effort being implemented in making something, if this changes then so does the quality. Exogenous variables are simply variables that are not affected by other variables in a given environment, this does not mean that they cannot change. Even though they are independent they can still change. For example, the weather is an exogenous variable but it can still change from Raining to Sunny.

Answer:

5

Explanation:

If there is greater freeway congestion at 11 a.m than at 9am, it means that more people are using the road at 11am compared to 9am. This means that the demand to drive on the freeway at 11 a.m. is greater than the demand to drive on the freeway at 9 a.m.

If more people carpool at 11 a.m. than at 9 a.m, there would be less cars on the road at 11am. this would make the freeway less congested at 11am when compared to 9am

Answer:

a. U.S. firm has long position in yen since it has asset in yen.

b. An American student has long position in yen since it has asset of bonds in yen.

c.  U.S. firm has liability position in yen, therefore it is short position.

Explanation:

a. The payment is to be received in next 60 days which means there is a risk of yen depreciation and then company will receive lower dollars. The company should hedge its exchange rate risk by selling yen now and buying dollars later.

b.  The gift received in the form of bonds will mature in 60 days. There is uncertainty in dollar rate, if dollar appreciates against yen then student will receive less yen.

c. The dollar rate is unpredictable for yen in next 60 days. If yen appreciate then dollar will depreciate against yen and therefore amount of loan repayment will increase.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that the variable cost is the cost that changed with the production

So the variable cost arise from TC should be

VC=0.5Q^2+25Q

= 0.5 × (30)^2+25 × 30

= 1200

And,  

AVC is

= VC ÷ Q

= 1200 ÷ 30

Answer:

b

Explanation:

Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels

Types of inflation

1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise

2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect  

Shoe leather cost is when people try to spend money immediately so they would not be holding money for a long time. This is because money loses its value in an inflation.

Menu costs are the costs of changing price constantly as a result of inflation, When there is inflation, prices increases regularly. As a result prices needs to be updated regularly.

Answer: $2,700

Explanation:

The balance in Supplies account at the end of February can be calculated using the formula:

Answer:

The correct answer is "$7,630".

Explanation:

Assuming there are four weeks in a month, then

Joe's income will be:

= [tex]23.50\times 40\times 4[/tex]

= [tex]3,760[/tex] ($)

Zola's income will be:

= [tex]21.50\times (40+5)\times 4[/tex]

= [tex]21.50\times 45\times 4[/tex]

= [tex]3,870[/tex] ($)

hence,

The combined gross monthly income will be:

= [tex]Jose's \ income+Zola's \ income[/tex]

= [tex]3,760+3,870[/tex]

= [tex]7,630[/tex] ($)

Answer:

$8,498.75

Explanation:

Jose = ($23.5x40x52)/12=$4073.33

Zola = ($21.5x40x52/12)+($21.5x1.5(overtime pay)x5x52)/12= $3726.67+$698.75=$4425.41

Combined = $4073.33+ $4425.42= $8498.75

Answer:

= $306,000 ÷ $85000

= $3.60 Per hour

Now  

Particulars Cost

direct materials $700

Direct labor cost $8500

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (100 × 3.60) $360

Variable manufacturing overhead cost (100 × 6.00) $600

Total job cost  $10,160

Answer: c. increase the discount rate.

Explanation:

The discount rate of a country is the rate at which the central bank in that country loans money out to the financial institutions.

When this rate is low, more financial institutions will borrow money as opposed to when it is high. Banks borrowing money increases the money supply in the economy so if the Federal Reserve wants to reduce money supply, it should increase the discount rate which would dissuade banks from borrowing from the Fed thereby limiting money supply.

Answer: $10.79

Explanation:

This requires the use of the Dividend Discount Model.

The price of the stock is the present value of the dividends for the two years and then the Terminal value.

Terminal value = Third year dividend / (Required return - Growth rate)

=  (1.10 * 1.10² * 1.02) / (14% - 2%)

= 1.35762 / 12%

= $11.31

Price of stock is:

= Present value of first year dividend + Present value of second year dividend + Present value of Terminal value

= ((1.10 * 1.1) / 1.14) + (( 1.10 * 1.1²) / 1.14²) + (11.31 / 1.14²)

= $10.79

Answer:

Fixed costs= $187,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity(machine-hours): 17,000 18,500

Department costs: $246,500 $251,750

To calculate the fixed and variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (251,750 - 246,500) / (18,500 - 17,000)

Variable cost per unit= $3.5

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 251,750 - (3.5*18,500)

Fixed costs= $187,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 246,500 - (3.5*17,000)

Fixed costs= $187,000

Thus the correct option is (b).

Answer:

10 days

Explanation:

Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × Average receivables) / Net sales

Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × $100,000) / $3,650,000

Day's sales in receivables = 10 days

• Note

Average receivables = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2

= ($112,000 + $88,000) / 2

= $100,000

Therefore, the average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 10days

Answer:

needs are things that satisfy the basic requirement. Wants are requests directed to specific types of items.

Answer:

Amount earned = $3320

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal, P = $2,000

Interest rate, R = 6%

Time, T = 11 years

To find the simple interest;

S.I = PRT/100

S.I = (2000*6*11)/100

S.I = 20*6*11

S.I = $1320

Amount earned = Principal + S.I

Amount earned = 2000 + 1320

Amount earned = $3320

Answer:

direct materials and conversion costs.

Explanation:

When companies use automated production processes, they tend to condense the three manufacturing costs into two categories which are direct materials and conversion costs.

This is because Automation does conversion on the Direct Materials which are visible and can be traced to product being manufactured.

Answer: d) A unilateral contract

Explanation:

In a unilateral contract there is only one party to the contract that has to abide by the obligations specified and that is the offeror. The offeror offers to pay a certain amount of money if a certain thing is done. They will then pay the person that fulfills this service.

In this case, Darla is the offeror and she offers to pay anyone who can find her cat. When Noelle fulfills this service, Darla will then pay her what was promised. This is therefore a unilateral contract.

Answer:

$47,322.21

Explanation:

the formula for calculating future value when there is continuous compounding is : A x e^r x N

A= amount

e = 2.7182818

N = number of years

r = interest rate

42,000xe^0.024 x 11 = $47,322.21

Answer:

A≈5469

Explanation:

Use the formula for calculating compound interest A=P0ert where P0=4200, r=0.024, and t=11. Substitute the values into the formula and simplify.

A=4200e0.024⋅11

A=4200e0.264

A=4200(1.302)

A=5468.94

After 11 years, the balance in the account is A≈5469, rounded to the nearest dollar.
