Answer:
7.50%
Explanation:
The computation of expected return is shown below:-
Expected return = Risk free rate + beta × (Return on market - Risk free rate)
= Risk free rate + 1 × (7.50% - Risk free rate]
= Risk free rate + 7.50% - Risk free rate
=7.50%
Therefore for computing the expected return we simply applied the above formula.
Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can produce 36 units of food per year or 18 units of clothing. Which of the following is true?
1.Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.
2.Georgeland has both an absolute and a comparative advantage in producing clothing.
3.Alland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing food.
4.Alland has both an absolute and a comparative advantage in producing food.
Answer:
1.Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.
Explanation:
Georgeland has an absolute advantange, because with the factors of production that it has available (the question does not specify the amount), it can produce either more food, or more clothing than Alland.
But Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothing, because the cost of opportunity of doing so is higher than Alland's, as can be seen in this comparison:
If Alland produces 16 units of clothing, it gives up on 32 units of food.
If Georgeland produces 18 units of clothing, it gives up on 36 units of food.
Assume that labor is the only factor of production and that wages in the United States equal $20 per hour while wages in Japan are $10 per hour. Production costs would be lower in the United States as compared to Japan if
U.S. labor productivity equaled 40 units per hour and Japan's 15 units per hour.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This simply means that the US would be at an advantage over Japan if in the U.S, labor productivity level of a worker equaled 40 units per hour while in Japan it is 15 units per hour.
Since a company overall performance is determine usually by wotkers production capacity, the US workers would be producing more in an hour for the company at reduced cost than Japanese workers.
Final answer:
Production costs in the U.S. would be lower than in Japan because U.S. workers are more productive, producing more units per hour even with higher wages, resulting in a lower cost per unit produced.
Explanation:
To understand the comparison between labor costs in the United States and Japan, we need to look at the productivity level of labor in both countries in relation to their wages. Labor productivity is a measure of the output per worker per hour. With American labor productivity at 40 units per hour and a wage rate of $20, the cost to produce one unit in the U.S. is $0.50. In Japan, with labor productivity at 15 units per hour and a wage rate of $10, the cost to produce one unit is approximately $0.67.
In this scenario, despite the higher wages in the U.S., the American labor force is more cost-efficient because they produce more units per dollar spent on wages. This illustrates how higher productivity can more than offset higher wages when determining production costs. Therefore, production costs would indeed be lower in the U.S. if we consider only the given productivity rates and wage levels.
Comfort Cords produces curtain cords. In the process of manufacturing those cords, it also produces hair ties which are sold separately. In the month of June, 60,000 units of cords were manufactured which resulted in the production 10,000 hair ties. 50,000 cords were sold at a price of $12 and 9,000 hair ties were sold at a price of $1.00. Joint costs incurred in the process amounted to $450,000. What is the value of revenue in June for Comfort Cords?

Assume you are going to lunch and have a choice of two meals. The first meal would give an increase in marginal utility of 100 with a $25 price. The second meal would give you an increase of only 10 with a $2 price. The third meal will give you an increase of 50 with a $5 price. Which meal should you logically choose ?
Answer:
Meal 3 = 50 utils / $5 = 10 utils per dollar spent
Explanation:
Logically, the meal with highest utility per Dollar spent would be the priority for me. So here:
Meal 1 = 100 utils / $25 = 4 utils per dollar spent
Meal 2 = 10 utils / $2 = 5 utils per dollar spent
Meal 3 = 50 utils / $5 = 10 utils per dollar spent
As meal 3 has highest utility per dollar spent, it will generate higher value for me. So I will opt meal 3.
the Federal Reserve wishes to decrease the money supply by $100 billion in order to reduce the possibility of high inflation in the years to come. Assuming a reserve requirement of 10 percent & that banks hold no excess reserves and the Fed wanted to use open market operations, would the Fed buy or sell bonds and how many bonds should the Fed buy or sell?
Answer:
the Fed should sell $10 billion in securities
Explanation:
intended goal is to decrease money supply by $100 billion
banks' required reserve ratio = 10%
money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1 / 10% = 10
the Fed should sell $10 billion in securities
total effect = -$10 billion x 10 (money multiplier) = -$100 billion
When the Fed sells securities, it is absorbing money, so it reduces the monetary base and money supply of the economy.

where x1 and x2 represent number of units of production of basic and advanced iPods, respectively. Production time required for the basic iPod is 6 hours per unit, and production time required for the advanced iPod is 8 hours per unit. Currently, 60 hours are available. The cost of hours is already factored into the profit function. Formulate an optimization problem that can be used to find the optimal production quantity of basic and advanced iPods. Solve the optimization model you formulated, what is the optimal value of the objective function? Round your answer to one decimal place.
The number of basic units is 3 and the number of advanced unit is 4.
Explanation:
Optimization function is a real valued function that is either minimized or maximized relative to the given set of feasible variables. Therefore if our maximum value for the production of both types of Ipod is 50 hours and if it takes 6 hours to produce basic Ipod and 8 hours to produce advanced Ipod than optimization model is expressed as 6*x + 8* y = 50. From this we have a set of possible solutions.
If x =0 than y =6, 2 it is not possible since it is not the natural number.
If y =0 than x =3, 57, it is not a natural number.
The only solution that satisfy the above condition is when x =3 and y = 4.

Answer:
Customers cannot resell the product amongst themselves.
Explanation:
Price discrimination can be defined as a pricing strategy which involves selling a particular product at different prices. It can also be described as how organizations charge each customer different amount of prices for the same good or service, this is typically based on how much a particular customer is ready to pay for the product.
The following are the requirements for price discrimination:
- Organizations must prevent the resale of the product by separating the market.
- Seller should ensure to control the supply of the product.
- Price elasticity must be different.
In the long run, the economy is:A) self-correcting, as commodity prices rise during recessionary gaps and fall during inflationary gaps to move the economy to long-run equilibrium. B) self-correcting, as prices of goods that are sticky in the short run become very flexible in the long run and thus move the economy to full employment. C) fluctuating, as nominal wages rise and fall during short-run economic fluctuations. D) self-correcting, as nominal wages rise during recessionary gaps and fall during inflationary gaps to move the economy to long-run equilibrium.
Answer: B. self-correcting, as prices of goods that are sticky in the short run become very flexible in the long run and thus move the economy to full employment.
Explanation: In a long run the economy self correct as price of goods that are sticky in the short run become very flexible in the long run and it thus being the economy to full employment.
The idea of Economy self-correcting is that when an economy is producing at an equilibrium level of output below or above its full employment, will return on its own to full employment level left on its own accord. It requires flexible wages and prices, so therefore it is only going to happen at the long run.

d. hiring of people in underrepresented classes, regardless of qualifications.
Explanation:
The affirmative action process demands analysis of the demographics of the current company workforce, survey of the relevant labor market to determine its demographics and comparison of the current company workforce with the available labor market.
However, it is counterproductive to hire people in underrepresented classes, regardless of qualifications.
Torino Company has 2,800 shares of $50 par value, 6.5% cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock and 28,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The company paid total cash dividends of $8,000 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is?
Answer:
The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is $10,200.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is , we have to make the following calculations.
First, we have to calculate the Annual preferred dividend = (2800*50*6.5%) = $9,100
Hence, First year preferred dividend = $9,100-$8,000 = $1,100
Finally, if we make $1,100+$9,100 = $10,200 and so this will be the cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders.

Microsoft's tablet obviously didn't have a product champion that pushed for its massive release, while Steve Jobs was the iPad's champion.
Contractionary fiscal policy to prevent real gdp from rising above potential real gdp would cause the inflation rate to be ________ and real gdp to be ________.
Answer:
Contractionary fiscal policy to prevent real gdp from rising above potential real gdp would cause the inflation rate to be LOWER and real gdp to be LOWER.
Explanation:
A government engages in contractionary fiscal policy when it decreases spending or increases taxes. This is done to lower the economy's inflation rate, but it also decreases aggregate income which will decrease aggregate supply, resulting in a lower real gross domestic product.
A contractionary fiscal policy, like reducing government spending or increasing taxes, will lower the inflation rate and bring real GDP closer to its potential when the economy is operating above potential GDP. The policy reduces aggregate demand, lowering inflation and causing minimal changes to the real GDP.
Explanation:The question asked is, 'What would be the impact of a contractionary fiscal policy utilized to prevent real GDP from rising above potential real GDP on inflation rate and real GDP?' Contractionary fiscal policy refers to government measures, such as decreasing government spending or increasing taxes, to reduce economic growth and control inflation. Applied to an economy operating above potential GDP, characterized by low unemployment and rising inflation, contractionary fiscal policy could help bring the economy back to equilibrium.
As a result of using contractionary fiscal policy to prevent real GDP from rising above potential real GDP, the inflation rate would be lower and the real GDP would be closer to its potential. This happens as the reduction in government spending or increase in taxes decreases aggregate demand, applying downward pressure on price levels (thereby lowering inflation) while causing very little reduction in output or rise in unemployment (thus real GDP is closer to potential).
Fiscal policy can contribute in pushing aggregate demand beyond potential GDP, leading to inflation. When the rising percentage of debt to GDP creates uncertainty in global markets, the government might resort to inflationary tactics to reduce real debt's real value. Thus, effectively, if the government has borrowed at a fixed interest rate, resulting inflation above that rate allows the government to repay its debt effectively at a negative real interest rate. Therefore, applying a contractionary fiscal policy can help stabilize the economy by reducing inflation and pulling real GDP closer to its potential value.

Nora contracts to work for ABC Investments during June for $2,500. On May 31, ABC cancels the contract. Nora refuses to accept a similar job with first State Bank, which would pay $2,000. Nora files a suit against ABC. As compensatory damages, Nora can recover:________.
a. $2500
b. $2000
c. $500
d. nothing
Answer:
c. $500
Explanation:
A contract is an agreement by two or more parties to perform a.certain activity within a given time.
When contract are breached, the beneficiary has the right to gain back the amount promised.
If the beneficiary can get another option, the other party is obligated to pay the balance.
On this instance Nora had the chance to get a new job at $2,000 salary the balance is $2,500 - $2,000= $500. Since she rejected the job she is responsible for that loss.
However ABC is still liable to pay the balance of $500
Nora can recover $500 as compensatory damages from ABC Investments, representing the difference between her contract with ABC and the salary offered by First State Bank, which she refused.
Explanation:Nora can recover compensatory damages for the loss she suffered due to ABC Investments canceling the contract. Under the duty to mitigate damages, the plaintiff must take reasonable steps to minimize their loss. Since Nora refused to accept a similar job at First State Bank, which was offering $2,000, she did not fulfill this duty completely. The difference between the original contract price and the salary of the new job offer represents the amount she could recover, which is $500 ($2,500-$2,000). Therefore, the correct answer is option C: $500.

The __________ method of estimating bad debts uses both past and current receivables information to estimate the allowance amount. Specifically, each receivable is classified by how long it is past its due date. aging of receivables percentage of receivables percentage of sales
Answer:
aging of receivables
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the method that is being mentioned is known as aging of receivables. This is report that includes a list of unpaid customer invoices and unused credit memos of various different date ranges, both from the past and some from the current dates.
The aging of receivables method uses both past and present receivables data to estimate the allowance for bad debts by categorizing receivables based on the length of time overdue and applying different percentages to each category to estimate bad debts.
Explanation:The method of estimating bad debts that uses both past and current receivables information to estimate the allowance amount, and involves classifying each receivable by how long it is past its due date, is known as the aging of receivables method. This method is a meticulous approach that reviews all outstanding invoices and categorizes them based on the length of time they have been overdue. For instance, a common categorization might be 0-30 days, 31-60 days, 61-90 days, and over 90 days past due. More weight is usually given to the receivables that are more delinquent, under the presumption that the longer an account receivable is overdue, the less likely it is to be collected.
To implement the aging of receivables method, a business will apply a different percentage to each category of receivables to determine the estimated amount of bad debts. The percentages used are often based on historical data, such as that provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, like in the referenced figure titled 'Percent of Balance 90+ Days Delinquent by Loan Type'.
