Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I provided some explanation about what monopoly entails.
Explanation:
Note that the term monopoly basically refers to a market environment in which an entity or enterprise is the only producer of a particular commodity.
In such a situation, the monopolist firm has a market advantage of being able to choose what price to sell its products without been concerned about the price of the competitor's products.
Moral hazard is a situation when a. contract terms attract parties that have a higher preference for risk b. contract terms incentivize applications of worse customers and repels better ones because of generous variable benefits, but high fixed-costs c. contract terms incentivize one party to take on more risk because they don't carry the full cost of the risk d. contract terms repel parties that have a lower preference for risk
Answer:
contract terms incentivize one party to take on more risk because they don't carry the full cost of the risk
Explanation:
A moral hazard can be understood as the concept that a participant that is sheltered from danger in some manner will behave significantly than if they were not.
Every day, we see moral hazard in the form of established academics who remain apathetic presenters, individuals who have burglary insurance who are less attentive about where they parked, compensated workers who take long vacations, and etc.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is C.
A simple optimal portfolio problem is the cash matching problem.
Suppose you are given a sequence of future monetary obligations, in dollars, required to be paid at the end of each year over the next 10 years as follows:
YEAR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
OBLIGATION 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000
We wish to invest now so that these obligations can be met as they occur, accordingly, we must purchase bonds of various maturities and use the associated future cash flows to meet the obligations.
Suppose there are 10 zero coupon bonds available to be purchased, each with a face value of $100. The maturities of the zero coupon bonds span 1 to 10 years, and the price of each zero coupon bond is consistent with a flat term structure: all spot rates are equal to 5% annually. To be clear, we have available a 1-year zero coupon bond with 5% yield, a 2-year zero coupon bond with 5% yield, a 3-year zero coupon bond with a 5% yield, all the way up to a 10-year zero coupon bond with a 5% yield, for a total of 10 zero coupon bonds. The objective function to be minimized is the total cost of the portfolio, which is equal to the sum of the prices of the bonds times the number of units purchased.
How many units of the 5-year zero coupon bond should be purchased in the optimal portfolio? Please round your numerical answer to the nearest integer number of units.
Answer:
The units of the 5-year zero coupon bond that should be purchased in the optimal portfolio is:
= 6 units
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Spot rates = 5% annually
Yield of a 1-year zero coupon bond = 5%
Yield of a 2-year zero coupon bond = 5%
Yield of a 3-year zero coupon bond = 5%
Yield of a 4-year zero coupon bond = 5%
Yield of a 5-year zero coupon bond = 5%
Yield of a 6-year up to a 10-year zero coupon bond = 5%
Future Monetary Obligations:
YEAR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
OBLIGATION 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000
PV factor 1.05 1.1025 1.1576 1.2155 1.2763 etc.
Present value of a 5-year zero coupon bond = $78.35 ($100/1.2763)
Number of units of the 5-year zero coupon bond that should be purchased in the optimal portfolio = 6.382 ($500/$78.35)
= 6 units

Answer:
A. 20Y7 Inventory Turnover 4.7
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=5.1
B. 20Y7 77.66 days
20Y6 71.57 days
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the inventory turnover for 20Y7 and 20Y6
Using this formula
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average inventory
Let plug in the formula
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/[(795,700+861,400)/2]
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/($1,657,100/2)
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/828,550
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=4.7
20Y6 Inventory Turnover= $4,002,225/(773,800+795,700)/2]
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=$4,002,225/(1,569,500/2)
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=$4,002,225/784,750
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=5.1
B. Calculation to determine the number of days' sales in inventory for 20Y7 and 20Y6
Days in inventory = 365/Inventory Turnover
20Y7 Days in inventory=365/4.7=77.66 days
20Y6 Days in inventory=365/5.1=71.57 days
An export subsidy will ________ producer surplus, ________ consumer surplus, ________ government revenue, and ________ overall domestic national welfare.
Answer:
increase; decrease; decrease; decrease.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;
I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.
II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.
An export subsidy can be defined as any government policy that encourages the export of goods to other countries while discouraging the sales of goods in the domestic market through the use of tax reliefs, low cost loans, government foreign adverts, etc.
A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.
Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.
Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.
Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus, decrease consumer surplus, decrease government revenue, and decrease overall domestic national welfare.
gThe following data are available for Martin Solutions, Inc. Year 2 Year 1 Sales $1,139,600 $1,192,320 Beginning inventory 80,000 64,000 Cost of goods sold 500,800 606,000 Ending inventory 72,000 80,000 Required: Assume a 365-day year. Determine for each year:
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For Year 1
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)÷ 2
= ($64,000 + $80,000) ÷ 2
= $72,000
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $606,000 ÷ 72,000
= 8.4 times
Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 8.4
= 43.5 days
For Year 2
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) ÷ 2
= ($80,000 + $72,000) ÷ 2
= $76,000
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $500,800 ÷ 76,000
= 6.6 times
Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 6.6
= 55.3 days
Steven White is planning to save up for a trip to Europe in three years. He will need $8,100 when he is ready to make the trip. He plans to invest the same amount at the end of each of the next three years in an account paying 5 percent. What is the amount that he will have to save every year to reach his goal of $8,100 in three years
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,560.39
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $8,100
Number of periods= 3 years
Interest rate= 5%
To calculate the annual deposit (annual saving), we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (8,100*0.05) / [(1.05^3) - 1]
A= $2,560.39

Chelsea’s manager sent her an email asking to meet, for an unspecified reason, the following Friday. Upon reading this email, Chelsea remembered a situation six months prior when her manager sent such as email to another team member. During that meeting, the team member was laid off from the organization. Based on this recollection, Chelsea is extremely worried about the upcoming meeting with her boss. Which type of bias is being represented? Multiple Choice representative bias recency bias overconfidence Bias framing bias confirmation bias
Answer: Representative bias
Explanation:
Representative bias occurs when two decisions are wrongly compared by a decision maker due to the fact that there's a perceived similarity between the cases.
Regarding the question, since a similar situation led to the laying off of an employee, Chelsea is already worried that she'll be laid off as well even though this may not be the case. In such cases, due to the similarity, this confuses people's thinking.
When the similarity of objects or events confuses people’s thinking about the possibility of an outcome, it is called representative bias. Thus, Option A. is the correct answer.
What is representative bias?Representative bias occurs when two decisions are incorrectly compared to the decision-maker because there are obvious similarities between the cases.
In terms of the question, as the same situation has led to the dismissal of the employee, Chelsea is already worried that he too will be retrenched even though this does not happen.
In such cases, because of similarities in the two events, this confuses people's thinking and lets them assume a particular situation.
Thus, Option A. Representative Bias is the correct answer.

Suppose that there is no third-party payer in the medical care market in Uganda in 1955. Suppose that in 1960, health insurance companies begin operations in Uganda. All else being equal, what does supply and demand analysis predict will happen in the medical care market in 1960
Answer: b. Total expenditures will increase
Explanation:
Medical insurance reduces the amount that people have to pay to get health related services. Ugandans from the year 1960 can be expected to pay less for medical services as a result.
If people are able to pay less for a good or service, the normal thing that they would do would be to demand more of that good and service because it is more affordable. Total expenditure in the medical field will increase as a result.
Quickbrush Paint Company is developing a linear program to determine the optimal quantities of ingredient A and ingredient B to blend together to make oil-base and water-base paint. The oil-base paint contains 90 percent A and 10 percent B, whereas the water-base paint contains 30 percent A and 70 percent B. Quickbrush currently has 10,000 gallons of ingredient A and 5,000 gallons of ingredient B in inventory and cannot obtain more at this time. Assuming that x represents the number of gallons of oil-base paint, and y represents the gallons of water-base paint, which constraint is correctly represents the constraint on ingredient A?
A. .9x + .3y ≤ 10,000
B. .9A + .1B ≤ 10,000
C. .9x + .1y ≤ 10,000
D. .3x + .7y ≤ 10,000
Answer:
A. 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000
Explanation:
Given
[tex]x \to[/tex] oil based plant
[tex]y \to[/tex] water based plant
The data can be represented in tabular form as:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {A} & {B} & {x} & {90\%} & {10\%} & {y} & {30\%} & {70\%} & {} & {10000} & {5000}\ \end{array}[/tex]
Considering only A, we have the following constraints:
[tex]A \to 90\% * x + 30\% * y[/tex]
[tex]A \to 0.9x + 0.3y[/tex]
Since the company currently has 10000 of A.
The above constraint implies that, the mixture cannot exceed 10000.
So, we have:
[tex]A \to 0.9x + 0.3y \le 10000[/tex]
Hence, (A) is correct
During 2020, Lincoln Company hires 22 individuals who are certified to be members of a qualifying targeted group. Each employee works in excess of 600 hours and is paid wages of $13,600 during the year. Determine the amount of Lincoln's work opportunity credit. $fill in the blank 1 .
Answer:
$52,800

Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 7,900 for July and 8,100 for August. The direct labor requirement per unit is 0.50 hours. Labor is paid at the rate of $21 per hour. The total cost of direct labor budgeted for the month of August is:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The budgeted direct labor cost for August can be computed by multiplying the labor rate per hour by the labor hours worked in August.
Assume one unit consumes 0.50 labor hours, the labor hours worked in August are;
Labor hours - August = 0.50 × 8,100 = 4,050 labor hours
Therefore, the labor cost for August are budgeted to be;
Direct labor cost - August = 4,050 × $21 = $85,050

35. The three all-encompassing internal resource categories used in the resource-based view are physical resources, human resources, and ___________________
Answer:
Organizational resources.
Explanation:
A resource-based view can be defined as a managerial framework or model that is typically used by an organization to examine and determine the fundamental resources that it can use or exploit in order to achieve competitive advantage that is sustainable over a period of time.
The three (3) all-encompassing internal resource categories used by many businesses in the resource-based view are physical resources, human resources, and organizational resources.
Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.
This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.

Therefore the operating cash flow for this project will be $48,478
Hsu Company reported the following on its income statement: Income before income taxes $420,000 Income tax expense 120,000 Net income $300,000 Interest expense was $80,000. Hsu Company's times interest earned is a.6.25 times b.5 times c.5.25 times d.8 times
Answer:
a. 6.25 times
Explanation:
Times interest earned ratio = Earnings before income taxes / Total interest expense
Earnings before income taxes = Income before taxes + interest expense
Earnings before income taxes = $420,000 + $80,000
= $500,000
Total interest expense = $80,000
Therefore,
Times interest earned ratio = $500,000 / $80,000
= 6.25 times
