Answer:

The expected return on this stock is 7.3%

Explanation:

Using the expectations model, we can calculate the expected return on the stock based on the return on stock in different scenarios/states and the probability of those states.

The expected return on the stock is,

Expected r = rA * pA  +  rB * pB  + rC * pC

Where,

  • r represents the returns in each state
  • p represents the probability of each state

Expected r = 0.12  * 0.15  +  0.08 * 0.75  +  (-0.05 * 0.1)

Expected r = 0.073 or 7.3%

A store manager predicts that 80 hats will be sold if each hat costs $15. The manager predicts that 3 less hats will be sold for
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

$25

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial cost of each hat = $15

Initial number of hats sold = 80

3 less hats will be sold for every $1 increase in price

Thus,

For at least 50 hats to be sold, the store manager can increase the price such that maximum 30 less hats are sold

Therefore,

maximum increase in price = Maximum number of less hats ÷ Number of hats sold less for $1 increase

=  30 ÷ 3

= $10

The prices that the manager can predict that at least 50 hats will be sold will be

= $15 + $10

= $25

Jim and Lisa own a dog-grooming business in Champlain, New York, called JL Groomers. There are many buyers and many sellers in t
Elza [17]

The answer is marginal revenue (MR) curve above $22.

Explanation:

Jim and Lisa Groomers will maximize its accounting profit when taking it to 0 its economic profits when marginal revenue = marginal costs.

Economic profits are not the same as accounting profits because they include the opportunity costs of investing the money somewhere else. That is whythe long run firm is not able to make economic profits since as they exist, new competitors will enter the market. But in the case of the shoert run, the firms are able to make economic profit, but by doing so, they cannot maximize their accounting profit.

Economic profit = account profit = Opportunity profit

Opportunity cost are extra costs or benefitslost from choosing one activity or investment over another one.

If the Japanese production function is Cobb–Douglas with capital share 0.3, output growth is 3 percent per year, depreciation is
miss Akunina [59]

Answer: The saving rate is 0.30

Explanation:

The Golden Rule savings rate is referred to as the rate of savings which maximizes steady state level or growth of consumption.

Let k be the capital/labour ratio (i.e., capital per capita), y be the resulting per capita output ( y = f(k) ), and s be the savings rate. The steady state is referred to as a situation in which per capita output is unchanging, which implies that k be constant. This requires that the amount of saved output be exactly what is needed to one quip any additional workers and two replace any worn out capital.

In a steady state, therefore: sf(k)=(n+d)k

Growth rate of output =3%

Depreciation rate= 4%

Capital output ratio is (K/Y)

= 2.5

Begin the steady state condition:

S= ( σ + n + g) (k/Y)

S= (0.03+0.04) (2.5)

S= 0.175

Golden rule steady state

MPK= (0.03+0.04)= 0.07

Capital output ratio=

K/Y= Capital share / MPK

K/Y= 0.3/0.07

K/Y= 4.29

In the golden state, the capital output ratio is equal to 4.29 in comparison to the current capital ratio 2.5.

The saving rate consistent with the steady growth rate

S= ( σ + n + g) (k/Y)

S= (0.03 +0.04) (4.29)

S= 0.30

The saving rate that is consistent with the steady growth rate is 0.30
