Individuals differ in risk aversion because of differences in income or wealth.

  • Risk aversion is the propensity of people to choose outcomes with low uncertainty over those with high uncertainty, even when the average outcome of the latter is equal to or higher in monetary worth than the more definite event. This tendency is shown in both economics and finance.
  • Risk aversion is the tendency to avoid danger. A risk-averse investor is one who prioritizes money preservation over the potential for a higher-than-average return. Price volatility and investment risk are the same.
  • If someone would rather take the risk and maybe receive nothing than accept a definite payment (certainty equivalent) of less than $50 (for instance, $40), they are considered to be risk averse. If they have no preference between the wager and a specific $50 payoff, they are risk neutral.

Thus the correct answer is d.

amid [387]

Stockholders section of the balance sheet at the end of the year:

Common Stock:

Authorized 206,000 shares at $3 par value

Issued 88,000 shares                                 $264,000

Additional Paid-in Capital

($968,000 -364,000 + 136,000)                   740,000

Treasury Stock ($78,000 - 24,000)               (54,000)

Total Equity                                                 $950,000

Explanation:

a) The authorized common stock is stated in the balance sheet as a memorandum record.  It does not form part of the calculation of equity since all the shares have not been issued.

b) Issued common stock is valued at 88,000 * $3 = $264,000

c) The difference in the par value and the issue price is recorded in the Additional Paid-in Capital Account.  It is also where the increases and decreases in Treasury stock above or below par values are recorded.

d) Treasury Stock is a common stock contra account which records the repurchase and resale of common stock.  Two methods are used.  One recognizes the whole cost of treasury stock in the Treasury Stock account.  It is called the costing method.  The other method, called the par-value method, recognizes the above and below par value in the Additional Paid-in Capital.

Suppose Russia produces only trucks and cars. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specializ
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Remains constant

Explanation:

Since the same set of resources are useful in producing both cars and trucks, it shows that resources are not specialized hence Russia has a straight line PPC. A straight line (linear) PPC connotes constant returns to scale. In this case, resources are mobile and can easily be reallocated and redirected from the production  of one good to another thus, opportunity cost is constant and so is the marginal rate of transformation (MRT). The MRT is the number of units or amount of a good that must be foregone in order to attain one unit of another.  If Russia decides to produce more cars and fewer trucks, the resources deployed in producing more cars would be well suited as the resources already used in car production. The opportunity cost in producing each additional unit of car remains constant as more cars are produced.

The slope of a linear PPC determines the marginal rate of transformation; that is, a flatter slope would mean producing more cars requires trading-off fewer trucks while a steeper slope would mean that producing more cars requires trading-off more trucks.
