Answer:

Yes, there is an opportunity.

Explanation:

Beta is an indicator of the risk of any portfolio.  The higher beta, the greater the risk. Therefore, the expected return of that portfolio should be higher.

Portfolio B has a higher Beta than portfolio A, but a lower expected return, so we say that the portfolio B is more expensive than it's value. So, there is an opportunity for arbitrage. You should sell the protfolio B and buy the portfolio A, and win the difference between both operations, with no risk.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. Would it be economically efficient for the dentist to buy and put up a shield? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?

No, it is not economically efficient for the dentist to buy the shield.

b. Would it be economically efficient for the radio station to buy and put up a shield? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?

No, it is not economically efficient for the radio to buy the shield.

c. Would it be economically efficient for the dentist to buy a new drill? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?

No, it is not economically efficient for the dentist to buy the drill.

d. Would it be efficient for the radio station to buy the dentist a new drill? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?

Yes, it is economically efficient for the radio to buy the dentist a new drill. The Coase Theorem is an economic theory that states that economic conflicts must be solved regardless of who had the initial rights of whatever is on dispute. In this case, the dentist is causing harm to the radio, but he is doing OK. So the radio has a problem, not the dentist. The radio needs to solve its problem, so they should buy the dentist a new drill.

The economic surplus = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000, that means that the radio will be $4,000 better.

Alina [70]

Answer:

$21.44

Explanation:

Calculation for the cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department

First step

Units completed and transferred out $7,500

Ending inventory($800+$8,400-$7,500)*70% Ending inventory =1,700*70%

Ending inventory =$1,190

Equivalent units for Materials $8,690

($7,500+$1,190)

Total materials costs $186,300

Second step

Cost per equivalent unit for materials=Total materials costs÷ Equivalent units for Materials

Cost per Equivalent unit for Materials $186,300÷$8,690

Cost per Equivalent unit for Materials=$21.44

Therefore the cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department is closest to $21.44
