Answer:

A. the risk of wind damage is potentially diversifiable, but the risk of flooding is not

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described it can be said that the best explanation for these different approaches would be that the risk of wind damage is potentially diversifiable, but the risk of flooding is not. Meaning that  most insurance companies cover wind damage because it is most likely during a hurricane but flooding may be a unique situation which is not always covered by most insurance companies/policies.

aksik [14]

Answer:

0.0642 or 6.42%

Explanation:

The period 't' between the year when the coin was issued, 1794, and 1971 is:

t=1971-1794 \\t=177\ years

If the coin had a value of $5 and after a period of t=177 years it was worth $305,000, the annual tax rate by which the coin appreciated is determined by:

305,000 = 5*(1+r)^{177}\\r=\sqrt[177]{61,000}-1\\r=0.0642=6.42\%

The annual rate was 0.0642 or 6.42%.

melomori [17]

Answer:

The cost of depletion in the current year is $90,000

Explanation:

Santa Fe's current year cost of depletion=cost of rights*Turquoise extracted in the current year/total estimated turquoise to be extracted

cost of rights is $300,000

turquoise extracted in the current year is 1,500 pounds

total estimated turquoise to be extracted over a five-year period is 5000 pounds

cost of depletion in the current year=$300,000*1500/5000

                                                           =$ 90,000.00  

By extension profit for the year assuming no other costs were incurred is :

$200,000-$90,000=$110,000
