Answer:

The financial advantage over option 2 is $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total sales value.

Explanation:

The company has 2 options for the obsolete desk calculators. They can either upgrade them or sell them as they are. We need to compare the 2 options to evaluate their advantage or disadvantage.

To upgrade the calculators we need to spend $200000. However we will then be able to sell the calculators for $260000. This equates to a $60 000 gain

Under option 2 we will just sell the calculators as is for $ 40 000.

Option 1 is the better option. The financial advantage over option 2 is thus $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total.

Preference dividend = 9% x $65 x 5,700 shares

                                = $33,345

Dividend paid to ordinary shareholders = $50,000 - $33,345

Explanation:

The dividend paid to preferred stockholders is 9% of the par value multiplied by number of preferred stock outstanding. The dividend paid to common stockholders is the difference between total dividend paid and dividend paid to preferred stock holders.

<h2>Pre-Increment increments the value immediately, Post increment increments the value only after executing the entire line.</h2>

Explanation:

class PrePostIncOperator {

   public static void main(String[] args){

         int x=5;    

         System.out.println(x++);          

         System.out.println("\n"+ ++x);    

        }

   }

Let us understand the program.

int x = 5 => Initializes the value of 5 to the variable x

System.out.println(x++);  This is the post increment operator. The value of x gets incremented only after printing the value. That is first System.out.println(x) will be executed and then the increment operator takes place once it finds the ";" that is the end of the statement. The memory which holds the value of x is changed only after executing the statement.

System.out.println("\n"+ ++x);     Here the value gets incremented and immediately assigns to the memory.

Explain why the government is often more responsive to producer interests than to consumer interests when it comes to the imposi
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The reason the government is often more responsive to producer interests than to consumer interests when it comes to the imposition of tariffs and quotas is:

it wants to ensure that producers are protected from foreign competition.

Explanation:

Producers face foreign competitive threats.  Consumers do not face such competition.  Therefore, the government will often consider the producers' interests more than the consumers' interests when imposing trade tariffs and quotas.  If local industries are not protected from their foreign competitors, the unemployment rate will increase and the economy will be flooded with cheap and low quality goods from other countries.  In that way, the US will be subsidizing the foreign producers indirectly.

Stocks 1 and 2 are selling for $100 and $125, respectively. You own 200 shares of stock 1 and 100 shares of stock 2. The weekly
dezoksy [38]

Answer: covariance matrix is

(0.00090 0.00042)

(0.00042 0.00160)

Mean of weekly return = 0.00119

Standard deviation = 0.0279

VaR(0.05) = $1450.73

Explanation:

> S1 = 200*100

> S2 = 100*125

> w1 = S1/(S1+S2)

> w2 = 1 - w1

> w = c(w1,w2)

> means = c(0.001, 0.0015)

> sd = c(0.03, 0.04)

> rho = 0.35

> multiply = w %*%

means> round(mutiply by 5)=0.00119

> cov = matrix(c(sd^2, sd[1]*sd[2]*rho,sd[1]*sd[2]*rho,sd[2]^2),nrow=2) = 0.00090, 0.00042, 0.00042, 0.00160

> sdp = sqrt( w %*% cov %*% w )> round(sdp,4)=0.0279

> VaR = -(S1+S2)*(mup+sdp*qnorm(.05))

=1450.73
