Ted's opportunity cost = 20 / 60 = 0.33

A stock has annual returns of 5 percent, 21 percent, -12 percent, 7 percent, and -6 percent for the past five years. The arithme
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Arithmetic = 3%

Geometric = 2.37%

Explanation:

The arithmetic average of 'n' returns is given by:

A = \frac{\sum r_i}{n}

For five returns of 5% ,21%, -12%, 7%, and -6%:

A=\frac{0.05+0.21-0.12+0.07-0.06}{5}\\ A=0.03=3\%

The geometric average of 'n' returns is given by:

G=\sqrt[n]{(1+r_1)*(1+r_2)*...*(1+r_n)}-1

For five returns of 5% ,21%, -12%, 7%, and -6%:

G=\sqrt[5]{(1+0.05)*(1+0.21)*(1-0.12)*(1+0.07)*(1-0.06)}-1\\G=0.0237=2.37\%

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Culture.

Explanation:

A firm’s statement of values requires a lot of pruning. There are many acceptable values, but to be effective, the list must be short. Executives choose the most important values. Therefore, the clue to <u>Culture</u> is in what is chosen.

Companies recruit candidates who are most likely to fit their culture. Studies have found that a good fit between a candidate's personality and the company's culture leads to better retention. Companies can also use hiring decisions and training to maintain their culture.

Mr. Jacob, who is terminally ill, writes a will transferring all his assets to his daughter Silvia, in the event of his death. T
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Invalid

Explanation:

Since it is stated in the will, that upon his death should the assets be transferred, it means that Silvia doesn't get anything until Mr Jacob ceases to be alive.

With the new development as regards Mr Jacob living for 6 more months before dying, Silvia has no assets yet and as such cannot transfer anything to Jacob Jnr.

Cheers
