__________ contracts are called __________ because no formalities are required in making them

You currently own shares in Buckeye Mutual Fund (BMF). Your broker calls and recommends buying shares in a small-capitalization

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Option D is the correct option

Explanation:

To find the optimal fund to combine with risk free rate of return, we will use Coefficient of variation,

Coefficient of variation(CoV) = Standard Deviation/Expected Return

CoV of Buckeye = 14%/20% = 0.7

CoV of Wolverine = 11%/12% = 0.9167

So, higher the CoV higher the risk, we will take Buckeye to combine with Risk Free Return.

Hence, Option A

- Required target return of portfolio = 22%

Risk Free return = 8%

Buckeye Return = 20%

Let the weight of Buckeye be X ,& weight of risk free be (1-X)

Required return = (WRF)*(RRF) + (WB)*(RB)

22 = (1-X)(8) + (X)(20)

22 = 8-8X + 20X

14 = 12X

X = 1.17

SO, weight of Buckeye is 1.17 or 117%

while weight of Risk free is -0.17 (1-1.17) or -17%

Hence, ans is OPTION D

Using the logic of the two-sided search model, compare the impact on the economy of government spending on education and apprent

Inga [223]

Answer:

Recent changes in American public assistance programs have emphasized the role of work. Employer subsidies such as the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and the Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit (WtW) are designed to encourage employment by reimbursing employers for a portion of wages paid to certain welfare and food stamp recipients, among other groups. a simple dynamic search model of employment subsidies was developed and then test the model’s implications for the

employment outcomes of WOTC- and WtW-subsidized workers. The model predicts that subsidized workers will have higher rates of employment and higher wages than equally productive unsubsidized workers, and it highlights some possible effects of the subsidy on job tenure. predictions was tested using a unique administrative data set from the state of Wisconsin. These data provide information on demographic characteristics, employment histories, and WOTC and WtW participation for all welfare and food stamp recipients in the state for the years 1998 -2001. from those of eligibility.

The employment, wage, and job tenure effects of the WOTC and WtW using propensity score was estimated.

The estimation the effects of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and the Welfare to Work Tax Credit (WtW) on employment outcomes of disadvantaged workers. These credits offer

subsidies to firms that hire individuals who may otherwise have difficulty finding jobs, such as certain welfare recipients, disadvantaged youth, and disabled individuals. Past work on previous employer-based credits found weak or even nonexistent employment effects, which resulted in the elimination of these

subsidies. The WOTC has been reauthorized four times since its implementation in 1996, and the WtW three times since its implementation in 1998, yet no study has carefully examined their effectiveness.

An analytical model of the WOTC and WtW were developed that allows workers from the same population to be paid different wages based on their value to the particular firms in which they are

employed. I also incorporate a binding minimum wage, which results in some long-term unemployment.

Finally, wages and employment status to change over time as employers learn about workers’ productivity in their firm. This dynamic element is essential to the model, since predictions about wage trajectories and job tenure cannot be made based on a static model. For example, concerns that

disadvantaged workers will end up in short-term, low-paying jobs cannot be addressed analytically without a model that allows changes in employment status over time. This gradual learning treats job matches as “experience goods” whose value cannot be determined ex ante.

Flinn (2003) introduces a minimum wage and investigates its effects on labor market outcomes and welfare in a search framework. Flinn incorporates the possibility of wage bargaining, and analyzes the effects of the minimum wage under different levels of worker bargaining power. Adding bargaining power to the model allows him to relax Jovanovic’s assumption that workers are always paid their (expected) marginal products; this is an important consideration if firms in certain markets are able to extract some rents from workers and pay wages closer to the reservation wage.

However, Flinn’s mode assumes that there is no uncertainty about productivity, even at the time of hire. In the context of the low wage labor market, in which employers might perceive some risks of hiring inexperienced workers, this assumption is restrictive. I therefore develop a model that maintains the bargaining and minimum wage

aspects of Flinn’s model but incorporates a simple form of uncertainty based on Jovanovic (1979), allowing job matches to be characterized as experience goods. This hybrid model is extended to include wage subsidies for a particular subset of workers.

What is the best advice for negotiating a business deal in a cross-cultural setting? avoid a win/win outcome. conduct transactio

DerKrebs [107]

In this case, you would want to avoid a win-lose situation.

1. You would want a win-win (where both parties feel as though they are gaining something from the transaction).

2. You can never go into an international negotiation with the same mentality as you would for in the US. Every culture is different and you should be aware of those differences.

3. You should not move too quickly between subjects. You should always ensure all parties understand and agree, which may take time.
