Answer:

The demand curve and supply curve will shift leftwards.

Explanation:

The increase in the income of riders will decrease the number of bus rides because there is an inverse relationship between income and inferior goods. Therefore, the demand curve for bus rides will shift leftwards. Moreover, the increase in wages is an input cost, therefore, the rise in input cost will shift the supply curve leftwards.

PolarNik [594]

market premium = 0,0781 = 7.81%

Explanation:

We have to calculate the market return and then calcualte the premium as the difference between the expected return on the market and the risk-free rate:

We multiply each outcome by the stock weight. and then for the probability of occurence of that state of economy

Calculations for boom:

Change of boom x (weighted outcome A + weighted outcome B + weighted outcome C)

0.25    x    (0.45 x 0.15 + 0.45 0.27 + 0.1 x 0.05) = 0.05

\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}Stock&&B&A&C&Totals\\Weights&&0,45&0,45&0,1&&Boom&0,25&0,15&0,27&0,11&0,05&Normal&0,65&0,11&0,14&0,09&0,078975&bust&0,1&-0,04&-0,19&0,05&-0,00985&&&&&return&0,119125&\end{array}\right]

Assume both Atlantis and Zanadu produce helmets and baseballs. Using equal amounts of resources, Atlantis can produce 100 helmet
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a) see attached image

b) Atlantis's opportunity cost of producing one helmet = 200 / 100 = 2 baseballs

c and d) Atlantis's opportunity cost of producing one baseball = 100 / 200 = 0.5 helmets

Zanadu's opportunity cost of producing one baseball = 100 / 400 = 0.25 helmets ⇒ Zanadu has a comparative and absolute advantage in the production of baseballs

e) yes, Atlantis would produce 100 helmets, and if it trades 50 to Zanadu, it will get 150 baseballs in return. So it will gain from trade. If Zanadu produces 400 baseballs and trades 150 of them for 50 helmets, it will also benefit.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A.- DECREASE

B.- DECREASE

C.- INCREASE

D.- INCREASE

E.- INCREASE

Explanation:

a. The discount rate increases

DECREASE the discoutn factors will be higher therefore, the present values lower.

b. The cash flows are in the form of a deferred annuity, and the total to $100,000. You learn that the annuity lasts for 10 years rather than 5 years, hence that each payment is for $10,000 rather than for $20,000

DECREASE Because the cashflow is generate on a longer period there is more exposure to discount rates.

c. The discount rate decreases

INCREASE The discount factor are lower. This situation is the opposite as (a)

d. The riskiness of the investment's cash flows <u>decreases</u>

INCREASE a lower risk derivates in lower cost of capital thus, lower iscount rates. This increase the present value of the cashflow.

e. The total amount of cash flows remains the same, but more of the cash flows are received in the earlier years and less are received in the later years.

INCREASE as most of the future cash flows are at the beginning they have less exposure to time value of money.
