1. What is the partial effect of expendA on voteA?
ΔvoteAΔexpendA=β2+β4expendB→0.0382809+−6.63e−6expendB
2. Is the expected sign for b4 obvious?
Yes because the expendB alone is a negative and expendA is a positive leaving B4 to be a negative number .
Answer:
Government policymakers decided to reduce the rate of inflation from 3% to 1.6%. As a result, the unemployment rate increased from 4.8% to 6.2%. The sacrifice ratio is:______
d. none of the above
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Old inflation rate = 3%
New inflation rate = 1.6%
Old unemployment rate = 4.8%
New unemployment rate = 6.2%
Ratio of old inflation rate to old unemployment rate = 3 : 4.8 = 0.625
Ratio of new inflation rate to new unemployment rate = 1.6% : 6.2% = 0.258
Sacrifice ratio = Difference between the two ratios = 0.367 (0.625 - 0.258)
b) The sacrifice ratio is the difference between the old ratio and the new ratio of inflation rate to unemployment rate.
Answer: work hard; $65; less; $85
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
The Expected profit from working hard will be:
= (90% × $200) + (10% × $50)
= (0.9 × $200) + (0.1 × $50)
= $180 + $5
= $185
Then, the profit will be the difference between revenue and coat which will be:
= $185 - $100
= $85
Then, the expected profit from shirking will be:
= (90% × $50) + (10% × $200)
= (0.90 × $50) + (0.10 × $200)
= $45 + $20
= $65
Then, the profit will be:
= $65 - $0
= $65
Eric will (work hard) because the net gain of ($65) from shirking is (less) than the net gain of ($85) from working hard.
Answer:
WACC is 9%
Explanation:
WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.
According to WACC formula
WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity ) + ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt ) + ( Cost of Preferred equity x Weightage of Preferred equity )
As per given data
Market Values
Equity = $7 billion,
Preferred stock = $2 billion
Debt = $13 billion
Cost
Equity
Capital asset pricing model measure the expected return on an asset or investment. it is considered as the cost of common stock.
Formula for CAPM
Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate )
Cost of Equity = Rf + β ( Mrp )
Cost of Equity = 3% + 1.6 ( 8% ) = 15.8%
Preferred stock = $2 / $26 = 0.077 = 7.7%
Debt = 8%
Placing values in the formula
WACC = ( 15.8% x $7 billion / $22 billion ) + ( 8% ( 1- 0.3) x $13 billion / $22 billion ) + ( 7.7% x $2 billion / $22 billion )
WACC = 5.03% + 3.31% + 0.7% = 9.04%
Answer:
7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.
Explanation:
Let x packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.16 each and y packets of hot-pepper seeds for $4.24 each are mixed to obtain 16-packet mixed pepper assortment for $3.33 per packet,
i.e. x + y = 16 ..........(1)
Also,
The price of sweet-pepper seeds + price of hot pepper seeds = price of the mixture
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33(x+y)
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33x+3.33y
⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y - 3.33x-3.33y = 0
⇒ −1.17x +0.91y = 0 ........(2)
Equation (2) + 1.17 × equation (1)
0.91y + 1.17y = 18.72
2.08y = 18.72
⇒ y = 9
From equation (1),
x + 9 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 - 9 ⇒ x = 7
Hence, there are 7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.
