Stells [14]3 years ago

Answer:

the required rate of return for Barker's investor is 10.17%

Explanation:

<u><em>First, We have to calcualte the CAPM </em></u>

(Capital Assets Pricing Model)

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.02

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.047

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.1

Ke= 0.02 + 1.1 (0.047)

Ke 0.07170

now we add the inflation premium:

0.0717 + 0.03 = 0.1017 = <em>10.17%</em>

If you had a choice how much are you willing to pay per month to have access to and use the various social media platforms?​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: $10 per month

Explanation:

$10 would be an ideal amount for me to pay to have access to the various social media sites if the major sites are on offer.

I think this amount reasonable because I do not use social media all that much but I would still like access to a variety of them. I would essentially therefore, be paying for my reduced time on the net.

Some might say that the companies might not make a profit if they charge $10 a month but I think they will because they make most of their money from ads so it would be good for them to offer the lowest subscription prices so that they can capture more people which will appeal to advertisers.

Suppose a monopolist's costs and revenues are as follows: ATC = $50.00; MC = $35.00; MR = $45.00; P = $55.00. The firm should
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The firm should increase output and reduce price

Explanation:

For a monopolist, there can be one of the following three scenarios at a time point in time:

Scenario one, MR = MC: For a monopolist, profit is maximized at the point where marginal revenue (MR) is equal to to marginal cost (MC), i.e. where MR = MC.

Scenario two, MR < MC: But when the MR < MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a higher quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to reduce output until MR = MC.

Scenario three , MR > MC: But when the MR > MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a lower quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to increase output until MR = MC. Also, the monopolist has to reduce price in order to sell the increased quantity of output.

From the question, the monopolist falls into scenerio three as MR > MC, i.e. $45 > $35. Therefore, the monopolist should increase output until MR = MC and reduce price in order to maximize profit.

LO 8.5Identify several causes of a favorable material quantity variance.
yan [13]

Answer:

Possible causes of material quantity variance:

1. The use of sub-standard material

2. The use of unskilled labour

3.  Wastage of material

Explanation:

Material quantity variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price. The use of sub-standard material reduces the quality of output thereby resulting to unfavorable material quantity variance.  The use of unskilled labour also leads to unfavorable material quantity variance. Wastage of material                                                  due to low quality of inputs also results to unfavorable material quantity variance.

Jeff was in a department store standing near a clothing rack. Store security felt that he was acting suspiciously because he was
liraira [26]

Answer:

c. No; the facts of this situation do not provide reasonable grounds for a stop and search. Any attempt to do so by store security could result in a claim of false imprisonment.

Explanation:

According to the situation described in the question above, store security has no right to stop and search for Jeff. Therefore, the letter c is the most correct answer to this question.

Jeff's actions in the store do not provide sufficient reasons for there to be any kind of stop and research, as the facts in the situation do not provide enough information about an illegal act, so if store security forces a situation there could be legal damage to the store .

Therefore, it is essential that stores adopt a theft prevention strategy, with an effective security system and a team prepared to carry out correct approaches.
