Answer:
fall
rise
Explanation:
If the cost of resource x falls, it becomes cheaper to produce good y. This leads to an increase in supply of y. the supply curve of good y shifts out. As a result, equilibrium price falls and quantity rises
You are given the following data Stock A Expected return 8.00% Standard deviation 23.00% Stock B Expected return 7.50% Standard deviation 33.00% The correlation of Stock A and Stock B is 0.05. What is the variance of risky portfolio P with 43% in Stock A and the rest in Stock B
Answer:
Variance of risky portfolio P = 4.61%
Explanation:
WA = Weight of stock A = 43%, or 0.43
WB = Weight of stock B = 1 - 0.43 = 0.57
SA = Standard deviation of stock A = 23%, or 0.23
SB = Standard deviation of stock B = 33%, or 0.33
Cab = Correlation of Stock A and Stock B = 0.05
Therefore, we have:
Variance of risky portfolio P = (WA^2 * SA^2) + (WB^2 * SB^2) + (WA * SA * WB * SB * Cab) = (0.43^2 * 0.23^2) + (0.57^2 * 0.33^2) + (0.43 * 0.23 * 0.57 * 0.33 * 0.05) = 0.0461, or 4.61%
what is the primary benefit people receive in exchange for paying premiums to an insurance company
Answer:
The insurance company will pay for covered expenses
With premium rates from insurance companies, the overall protection is much more guaranteed than a regular, and perhaps the insurance will cover more than regular insurance.
A benefit that people receive in exchange for paying premiums is that insurance company B.will pay for covered expenses.
What is insurance?The insurance can be regarded as a process of insuring one's property or life in case of danger or any future problems.
The insurance company pays you or someone you choose if something bad happens to you. If you have no insurance and an accident happens, you may be responsible for all related costs.
Therefore, option B is correct because, when people pay their premiums, the company will be available to covered expenses.

The weekly total cost of baking pies at Tasty Tortes is given by TC = 0.01 Q 1.5. Tasty’s marginal cost of producing 10,000 pies a week is:
Answer: $1.50
Explanation:
TC = 0.01Q⁰.⁵
You get marginal cost when you differentiate the total cost.
MC = dTC / dQ
= 1.5 * 0.01 * Q¹.⁵ ⁻ ¹
= 0.015 * Q⁰.⁵
When Q is 10,000, the marginal cost is:
= 0.015 * 10,000⁰.⁵
= $1.50
Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.
Answer:
The correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Exhibit 4-3
PRICE OF GOOD Z:
$10 // QD: 300 // QS: 160
$12 // QD: 250 // QS: 180
$14 // QD: 200 // QS: 200
$16 // QD: 150 // QS: 220
Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.
a. surplus, 70
b. surplus, 20
c. shortage, 70
d. shortage, 20
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
A price ceiling can be described as a maximum price set by the government whereby it is illegal to sell the good above it. A price ceiling will cause a product shortage if it is set below the product's equilibrium price.
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded (QD) is equal to the quantity supplied (QS).
From Exhibit 4-3, QD is equal to QS is equal to 200 at the price of $14. This implies that the ceiling price of $12 imposed by the government is below the equilibrium price.
Based Exhibit 4-3. the units of shortage of goods Z at $12 can be calculated as follows:
Units of shortage of goods Z at the price of $12 = QD at the price of $12 – QS at the price of $12 = 250 - 180 = 70 units
Therefore, the correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.
Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug, and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If both or neither take the drug, they tie and split the prize. Taking the drug imposes health risks that are equivalent to a loss of X dollars
Required:
a. Draw a $2 payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes face.
b. For what X is taking the drug the Nash equilibrium?
c. Does making the drug safer (that is, lowering X) make the athletes better or worse off? Explain.
Answer:
a) attached below.
b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Explanation:
a) 2 * 2 payoff matrix describing the decision faced by the athletes
attached below
when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x
when neither player takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000
When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x
b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then
; $5000 - $x > 0 becomes the best response
hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )
will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
The quantity demanded for money is higher in Japan than in the United States because: telecommunications and information technology is more advanced in the United States than in Japan. Japanese interest rates are higher than those in the United States. Japanese interest rates are lower than those in the United States. Japanese consumers use credit cards more than people in the United States.
Answer:
Japanese interest rates are lower than those in the United States.
Explanation:
The demand for money (the decision to hold money) is inversely related to interest rate. if interest rate is high, individuals would prefer to hold bonds and the demand for money would fall. if interest rate is low, individuals would prefer to hold money.
the opportunity cost of holding money is what would have been earned if money was invested. if interest rate is low, individuals would prefer to hold more money because the amount that would be earned if money was invested in bonds would be low, so the opportunity cost of holding money would be low
If the demand for money is higher in Japan than in the United States, it is because interest rates are lower in Japan
A company wants to have $20,000 at the end of a ten-year period by investing a single sum now. How much needs to be invested in order to have the desired sum in ten years, if the money can be invested at 12%? (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.
Answer:
$6,439.56
Explanation:

Answer:
The correct answer is:
(1) $15,054
(2) $12,990
Explanation:
The required table is not given in the question. Please find below the attachment of the table.
Given:
Future value,
= $30,000
If discounting rate is 9%, the present value will be:
= [tex]Future \ value\times PV \ factor(9 \ percent, 8 \ years)[/tex]

= [tex]30000\times 0.5018[/tex]
= [tex]15,054[/tex] ($)
If discounting rate is 11%, the present value will be:
= [tex]Future \ value\times PV \ factor(11 \ percent, 8 \ years)[/tex]
= [tex]30000\times (\frac{1}{1.11} )^6[/tex]
= [tex]30000\times 0.433[/tex]

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 12% note payable, with a face value of $10,800. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1? (Use 360 days a year.)
a) $11,016
b) $10,800
c) $11,088
d) $11,232
e) $10,944
Answer: $11232
Explanation:
The maturity value of the note on March 1 will be calculated as thus:
Face value = $10800
Interest on note = $10800 × 12% × 120/360 = $432
Maturity value will now be:
= Face value + Interest on note
= $10800 + $432
= $11232

Oliver's long-term care policy covers only services in a nursing facility and pays nothing for services provided at home or in the community. What kind of LTC policy does Oliver own?
Question options:
a. facility-challenged
b. substandard
c. tier 1
d. noncomprehensive
Answer:
d. noncomprehensive
Explanation:
Oliver has a noncomprehensive long term care(LTC). A non comprehensive long term care is policy that restricts services to the ones provided at a nursing facility, and so Oliver pays for the benefits of only the services of a nursing facility . It is different from a comprehensive long term care where services cover and can be provided at an adult day care, home, assisted living facilities, or at nursing facilities.
Oliver's policy which does not cover nursing facilities provided at home or in the community is known as a Non-comprehensive health insurance policy. So, the correct option is D.
A non-comprehensive policy is a type of policy that covers only expenses related to the health of the customer that are provided in the hospital in-house premises only.
It is to be noted that there are no nursing facility expenses reimbursed or paid to the policy holder in case of health issues faced, if any. There are several other types of policies which reimburse such expenses.In a non-comprehensive policy, the policy holder is entitled to receive health benefits of only core hospitalization and any other expenses like bedding, medications, out-house nursing facilities, etc.The premium to be paid on the non-comprehensive policy is less compared to a comprehensive policy as the benefits to be availed are also less and so the drill.Hence, the correct option is D that the non-comprehensive policy does not cover nursing facilities taken in-house or at the community.

Contrary to popular opinion, CEOs of major U.S. companies come from a wide variety of private universities and state universities, not just a handful of well-publicized MBA programs. What does this fact tell you about sources of power and organizational politics
Answer: Power is earned
Explanation:
The fact that so many influential CEOs come from such a wide array of universities shows that they had to work to get to where they are today and were not simply handed positions because of the university they came from.
It shows that if one wants to succeed in business, their alma mater does not matter. They could be from an Ivy league college or from a state college in Mississippi, what matters is their determination to work hard and gain a good track record that will take them all the way to the top.
In 2019, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. Variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. The same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2020. What is Teller’s break-even point in units for 2020? g
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 1,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $600
Unitary variable cost= $420
Fixed cost= $270,000
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 270,000 / (600 - 420)
Break-even point in units= 1,500

At the present time, Tamin Enterprises does not have any preferred stock outstanding but is looking to include preferred stock in its capital structure in the future. Tamin has found some institutional investors that are willing to purchase its preferred stock issue provided that it pays a perpetual dividend of $11 per share. If the investors pay $97.95 per share for their investment, then Tamin's cost of preferred stock (rounded to four decimal places) will be:_____.
Answer:
Dividends are fixed ⇒ Debt
Preferred dividends are fixed much like the interest payments made on debt which makes this a characteristic of debt.
Usually have no specified maturity date ⇒ Equity
Equity does not have an expiration or maturity date and preferred shares share this same characteristic.
Cost of preferred stock.
The value of a Preferred stock is calculated by the formula:
Price = Dividend / Cost of preferred stock
97.95 = 11 / Cp
97.95 * Cp = 11
Cp = 11/ 97.95
= 11.23%
Market efficiency is probably the most controversial concept in finance. Even recent winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics come down on opposite sides of the issue. Nonetheless, it is important for you to grapple with this idea. It has very important practical implications for investment decisions, including (especially) for your personal investment decision. In particular, should you pursue active or passive strategies
Answer:
Active strategies should be pursued when the market is more volatile, with larger fluctuations over a shorter period of time, that require a more active management of a portfolio, in order to take advantage of fast changing positions in different assets, and also in order to avoid possible losses due to staying in particular positions for too long.
Passive strategies is more long-term focused, and should be pursued when the economy is more stable. Passive strategies should be analyzed carefully before execution because once the passive investment is made, the idea is to keep the position for a long period of time instead of buying and selling constantly as in a active strategy.
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.75 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
Answer:
a-1. Amount of rise in government expenditure required = $6.25 billion
a-2. Tax multiplier = -3
b. The combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion
Explanation:
a-1. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion.
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 4
Amount of rise in government expenditure required = Change in aggregate demand / Spending multiplier = $25 / 4 = $6.25 billion
a-2. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion.
Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 - MPC) = - 0.75 / (1 - 0.75) = -3
Amount of tax cut required = Change in aggregate demand / Tax multiplier = $25 / (-3) = $8.33 billion
b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
The amount is the amount of the balanced budget, which has a multiplier of one. This indicates that spending and taxes need be increased by $25 billion each to boost GDP by $125 billion. Therefore, the combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion

Stock Rit Rmt ai Beta
A 10.6 15Â Â Â 0 0.8
Z Â 9.8 8 0 1.1
Rit = return for stock i during period t
Rmt = return for the aggregate market during period t
What is the abnormal rate of return for Stock Z during period t using only the aggregate market return (ignore differential systematic risk)?
a. 3.40
b. 4.40
c. 1.80
d. -4.40
E.
-1.70
Answer:
1.8 option c
Explanation:
this question has a very simple solution
the following definitions
Rit = return for stock i during period t
Rmt = return for the aggregate market during period t
The abnormal rate of return for stock z is = Rit - Rmt
Rit = 9.8
Rmt = 8
9.8 - 8 = 1.8
therefore the abnormal rte of return for stock z is = 1.8, which is option c
Which of the following expressions correctly describes economic profits? A. Marginal revenuesexplicit costs. B. Total revenuesexplicit costs. C. Total revenuesimplicit costsexplicit costs. D. Marginal revenuesimplicit costsexplicit costs.
Answer:
C. Total revenuesimplicit costsexplicit costs.
Explanation:
The formula to compute the economic profits is shown below:
The economic profit is
= Total revenue - (explicit cost + implicit cost)
or
= Total revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost
So based on the above formula, the option c is correct
And, the rest of the options are incorrect

Jammer Company uses a weighted average perpetual inventory system and reports the following:
August 2 Purchase 24 units at $18.50 per unit. August 18 Purchase 26 units at $20.00 per unit. August 29 Sale 48 units. August 31 Purchase 29 units at $21.50 per unit.
What is the per-unit value of ending inventory on August 31? (Round your per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $21.36
Explanation:
Weighted average inventory system works by taking the average of the inventory prices on the different days.
Price on August 29 which is date of sale:
= {(Units purchased on August 2 * Unit cost on August 2) + ( Units purchased on August 18 * Unit cost on August 18)] / (Units purchased on August 2 + Units purchased on August 18)
= [ ( 24 * 18.50) + (26 * 20) ] / (24 + 26)
= $19.28 per unit
48 units were sold so the number of units left are:
= 24 + 26 - 48
= 2 units
Price on August 31
= [ (Units remaining on August 29 * Unit cost on August 29) + ( Units purchased on August 31 * Unit cost on August 31)] / (Units remaining on August 29 + Units purchased on August 31)
= [ (2 * 19.28) + (29 * 21.50) ] / ( 2 + 29)
= $21.36
