Answer:

12.64%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4% + 0.87 × 7.4%

= 4% + 6.438%

= 10.438%

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.

Now the required rate of return would be

= 10.438% + 2.2%

= 12.64%

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows,

At December 31, 2011 the accounting records of Gordon, Inc. contain the following items:

Accounts Payable 2500

Land 30000

Building 31250

Notes Payable ?

Retained earnings 125000

Accounts Receivable 18750

Cash ?

Equipment 40000

Capital Stock 12500

If the Notes Payable is $10,000, the December 31, 2011 cash balance is:

Answer:

Cash = $30000

Explanation:

The accounting equation states that the sum of total assets is always equal to the sum of total liabilities plus total equity. We can state the equation as follows,

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

So,

(30000 + 31250 + 18750 + 40000 + Cash) = (2500 + 10000) + (125000 + 12500)

120000 + Cash = 12500 + 137500

Cash = 150000 - 120000

Cash = $30000

Last year Canada’s economy had a surge in exports and increased demand for additional economic outputs. Because of the great dem
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Neoclassic economists believe that both wages and prices are sticky (hard to change) only  int he short run. In the long run, both prices and wages will adjust to new economic conditions.

In this particular case, neoclassic economists will predict that even though wages are starting to rise, in the long run the equilibrium wage will be higher.

Long run and short run are economic concepts that do not refer to a given time period, e.g. long term in accounting means more than 1 year, but long run in economics may take years to come.

Long run refers to the amount of time it takes for an economic variable to adjust to economic changes.

If Canada's increase in labor costs is paired with an increase in productivity (usually new technologies), then the economy should be able to grow since private consumption and investment will increase due to higher wages.

____ consumption occurs when consumers "set apart" objects and events from normal activities and treat them with respect. ____ c
solong [7]

Answer:

  • Sacred consumption
  • Profane consumption

Explanation:

This differentiation is based on special religious events (e.g. religious holidays) that considered some goods as sacred, while profane had to do with everyday life.

Some modern marketing strategies try to build sacred brands. For example, Google has become our God of all knowledge and no one even dares to challenge that almost religious belief. Anyone can make their own coffee or buy coffee at any coffee shop, but Starbucks is different, it has built a sense of emotional connection with the public. It's not any coffee that we need or want.
