zysi [14]

Answer: pay satisfaction and promotion satisfaction

Explanation:

The Job Descriptive Index is designed in order to determine the satisfaction of employees with their jobs.

Since the company's pay scale meets the industry norm but does not exceed it, and the managers tend to stay at the same job level for a long time, then the company will score low on in a JDI survey in the area of pay satisfaction and promotion satisfaction.

You can spend $100 on either a new economics textbook or a new CD player. If you choose to buy the new economics textbook, the o

Fed [463]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of new economics textbook = $100

Cost of new CD player = $100

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

As the cost of both the products are identical, so the opportunity cost of buying new economics textbook is the enjoyment of the new CD player.

When the price of a bond is above the equilibrium price, there is excess ___ in the bond market and the price will ___.

Setler [38]

C. When price is too high, people are less willing to purchase the good, so demand is lower when price is higher. (Demand curve is always slopping downwards as a result). As the price is high, producers are more willing to sell their goods (I.e. bonds) which will give them more money per unit good being sold. This will result in Quantity Supplied (Qs) being greater than Quantity Demanded (Qd), and so, there is a surplus of bonds in the market. This will cause a downward pressure to apply on price, so that Qd = Qs eventually.

Hope this helps!

. Stock X has a beta of 0.5 and Stock Y has a beta of 1.5. Which of the following statements must be true, according to the CAPM

KiRa [710]

Answer:

c. If the expected rate of inflation increases but the market risk premium is unchanged, the required returns on the two stocks should increase by the same amount

This statement is correct because an increase in inflation is a risk which will be reflected by an increase in the risk free rate. Also increase Beta is that sensitivity of the stocks to the market risk premium, and having different betas does not affect the the increase in expected rate of return caused by inflation.

Explanation:

a. If you invest $50,000 in Stock X and $50,000 in Stock Y, your 2-stock portfolio would have a beta significantly lower than 1.0, provided the returns on the two stocks are not perfectly correlated

This statement is wrong because if you invest 50,000 in stock X and 50, 000 in stock B you will have a beta of 1

50,000/100,000=0.5

(0.5*1.5)+(0.5*0.5)=0.75+0.25=1

b. Stock Y's realized return during the coming year will be higher than Stock X's return

This statement is wrong because although stock y's expected return will be higher because it has a higher beta, realized returns cannot be decided beforehand and will have to wait and see how the market reacts

d. Stock Y's return has a higher standard deviation than Stock X.

This statement is wrong because we do not have any information about any of the stocks standard deviation and knowing the betas is not enough to find the standard deviation.

If the market risk premium declines, but the risk-free rate is unchanged, Stock X will have a larger decline in its required return than will Stock Y.

This statement is wrong because stock y has a bigger beta than stock x which means that when the risk premium declines stock y will have a larger decline.
