A stock had returns of 12 percent, 16 percent, 10 percent, 19 percent, 15 percent, and -6 percent over the last six years. What
OleMash [197]

Answer:

10.68%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Returns on stock : 12%, 16%, 10%, 19%, 15%, -6%

Now,

Geometric average return on the stock is calculated as:

Geometric average return = ({(1 + r_1)\times(1 + r_2).......\times(1 + r_n)})^\frac{1}{n}- 1

Thus,

For the given returns on stock

Geometric average return

=[ (1 + 0.12)\times(1 + 0.16)\times(1 + 0.10)\times(1 + 0.19)\times(1 + 0.15)\times(1 + (- 0.06)) ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

= [ 1.12\times1.16\times1.10\times1.19\times1.15\times0.94 ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

=  [1.8384056768]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1

= 1.1068 - 1

= 0.1068

or

= 0.1068 × 100%

= 10.68%

Choose the only point on the graph that shows the equilibrium wage
a_sh-v [17]

We would need to see the graph, but the equilibrium point is where the wage paid is equal to the supply of workers. On a graph, this would be the point where the two lines intersect. That is the point where the supply of people willing to do the job at a certain rate, meets the company's demand for workers and the rate they are willing to pay.

Suppose we have a 2-person world, with only Stephen and his friend LeBron. Suppose that Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 coo
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (28 ÷ 70)

                                                         = 0.4 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (70 ÷ 28)

                                                         = 2.5 boxes

LeBron could move 24 boxes or bake 6 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (6 ÷ 24)

                                                         = 0.25 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (24 ÷ 6)

                                                             = 4 boxes

Yes, trade is possible.

Stephen has a comparative advantage in baking cookies because of the lower opportunity cost than LeBron, so he is specialized in baking cookies.

On the other hand, LeBron has a comparative advantage in moving boxes because of the lower opportunity cost than Stephen, so he is specialized in moving boxes.
