Answer:
c) a firm does not have sufficient time to change the level of use some of its inputs.
Explanation:
The definition of short-run in economics is not a term to be used for a specific certain period of time but it means that the period of time is too short that the firms cannot change the level they are using of some of their inputs or costs. It means they do have fixed costs they cannot change. For example, all machinery installed, a yearly rent paid, electricity or others that the firm cannot change unless there is sufficient time. In a short period of time, it will have those costs anyway. The firm cannot change the level of that input. And it is short run of at least one input. It may be many. But it is not necessary to have all inputs unchanged to consider that period of time as short-run.
However, firms can change level of inputs if they have more time. That is cost the long run. All costs are variable costs when we are in long run.
Answer:
The expected return on the portfolio is:
10.31% ($3,331.40)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Portfolio investments: Expected Returns % Expected Returns $
Stock M = $13,400 8.50% $1,139
Stock N = $18,900 11.60% $2,192.40
Total $32,300 10.31% $3,331.40
Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100
= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100
= 10.31%
b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up. Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment. This yields 10.31% percentage value.
Answer:
<h2>The United States has the comparative advantage in car production.</h2>
Explanation:
- Japan has a lower opportunity cost of producing televisions compared to cars, implying that Japan basically has to give up or sacrifice or trade off relatively less number of cars to produce one more television compared to the production of one more car.
- Alternatively, US has a lower opportunity cost of producing cars relative to televisions meaning that US has to give up, sacrifice or trade off less number of televisions to manufacture one more car in comparison to the production of one more television.
- Hence, in this case,US has a comparative advantage in the production of cars and Japan has a comparative advantage in production of television and both countries can produce these respective commodities by using relatively less productive resources or factor inputs.
