Answer: a. 2
b. $200
c. Should not
Explanation:
a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.
This will be:
= 5 - 3
= 2 moving jobs
b. The value of that marginal product is ______..
Since the company charges $100 for a moving job, the value of the marginal product will be:
= 2 × $100
= $200
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker
Marginal cost of moving 2 jobs will be:

Since the marginal cost is more than the marginal product, the company should not hire another worker.

You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?
According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.
Answer:
No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.
Explanation:
Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%
Expected return can be calculated by :
E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)
E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)
E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%
E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%

You do not start saving money until age 46. On your 46th birthday you dutifully invest $10,000 each year until you finish your deposits when you reach the age of 65 (you make the last deposit on your 65th birthday). The annual interest rate is 8% that you earn on your deposits. Your brother starts saving $10,000 a year on his 36th birthday but stops making deposits after 10 years. He then withdraws the compounded sum when he reaches age 65. How much more money will your brother have than you at age 65?
Answer:
$217,600
Explanation:
The computation of the more money is shown below:
As we know that
The Future value of the annuity is
= P × { (1+r)^n - 1} ÷ r
= $10,000 × (1+.08)^20 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $457,619.64
For 36 years to 46 years,
FV = $10,000 × (1+.08)^10 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $144,865.62
Now
FV = PV(1+r)^n
= $144,865.62× (1+.08)^20
= $675,212.47
Now the more amount would be
= $675,212.47 - $457,619.64
= $217592.83
= $217,600
