Answer: The opportunity cost of producing 1 apple will be 1 orange.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is defined as the loss or cost of another alternative when another alternative is being chosen by an economic agent.
In this scenario, the opportunity cost of producing every additional apple will be 1 orange due to the fact that as there's an increase in the production of apple from 80 to 90, there'll be a reduction in the production of orange from 30 to 20.
This indicates that for the increase of 10 apples, there's a reduction of 10 oranges which implies that an increase of 1 apple brings about a reduction by 1 orange.
Answer:
Fixed costs= $9,021.27
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
April 922 $ 17,912
May 983 $ 18,300
June 928 $ 17,965
July 912 $ 17,810
August 934 $ 17,994
September 919 $ 17,880
October 936 $ 18,032
November 876 $ 17,290
December 915 $ 17,838
<u>To calculate the variable and fixed component, we need to use the following formulas:</u>
<u />
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (18,300 - 17,290) / (983 - 876)
Variable cost per unit= $9.4392
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 18,300 - (9.4392*983)
Fixed costs= $9,021.27
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 17,290 - (9.4392*876)
Fixed costs= $9,021.27
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. Inflationary Gap.
Due to the availability of more disposal income due to tax cuts, more amount is being spent on consumption leading to a rise in actual GDP which is more than the potential GDP as the economy has not adjusted.
2. Output Gap.
This is the difference between the Actual GDP and the Potential GDP.
3. Demand Shock
This increases or reduces Aggregate Demand due but only temporarily.
4. Recessionary Gap.
This is where actual GDP falls below Potential GDP.
5. Supply Shock.
Like a demand shock, it suddenly increases or reduces the supply of goods and services. It is temporary as well.
6. Self Correction
Economists believe that in the long run, the Economy is capable of adjusting to shocks and returning to it's potential and natural levels.
Answer:
The portfolio with a beta of 1.38 should earn the most risk premium based on CAPM.
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
A diversified portfolio with returns similar to the overall market will not earn the most risk premium because its beta is equal to 1.
A stock with a beta of 1.38 produces the most risk premium because any stock with the highest beta gives the highest risk-premium. This is the correct answer.
A stock with a beta of 0.74 does not provide the highest risk premium.
Us treasury bill does not provide any risk premium since it is the risk-free rate.
A portfolio with a beta of 1.01 does not produce the highest risk premium.
Answer:
d. marketable bank-issued time deposit that specifies the interest rate earned and a fixed maturity date.
Explanation:
A bank certificate of deposit (CD) can be defined as a secured form of time-bound deposit and a special low-risk savings account, wherein money (lump-sum) are left with the bank for a specific period of time in exchange for an interest rate premium.
Generally, a certificate of deposit pays a higher interest rate to its holder than the regular savings account because the banks invest the money in a business.
Additionally, the bank certificate of deposit is protected and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.
A negotiable certificate of deposit (NCD) can be defined as a type of certificate of deposit (CD) that has a minimum face (par) value of $100,000 and can't be redeemed before its maturity date i.e it doesn't allow the holder to withdraw money until the pre-determined date.
This ultimately implies that, a negotiable certificate of deposit (NCD) is a marketable bank-issued time deposit that specifies the interest rate earned (interest-bearing time deposits) and a fixed maturity date.
