C. 100.0

D. -1.0

How is the expected return computed?
A. By multiplying the probability of each state of nature with its return and add them together

B. By multiplying the probability of each state of nature with its return, add them together, and

divide by n, the number of states of nature

C. By adding the returns from each state of nature and divide by the number of states of nature

D. By finding the scenario with the highest probably of occurrence and use the corresponding return as the expected return estimate

Which of these processes incorporates many different combinations of variables while running the analysis several thousands of times when creating a forecast?
Expected returns

A. Scenario analysis

B. States of nature

C. Simulation

Answer:

1. A. Financial risk

2. B. 1.0

3.A. By multiplying the probability of each state of nature with its return and add them together

4. C. Simulation

5. F. Neither statement 1 or 2

Explanation:

When the Central banks takes action to increase interest rates in the economy, they do so by controlling money supply. This will have an impact on the financial risk facing businesses in the US.

All probabilities must always add up to 1 to show that the events are mutually exclusive.

When computing expected return, you add up the products of all the returns given a particular probability that a state of nature will occur.

By using a Simulation, one can combine multiple variables to find out how they can relate and what will happen if they do to be able to create a clearer picture of the future.

Both statements are wrong because firstly, there is no such thing as a guaranteed investment especially when it comes to stock. Secondly, Treasury bonds will not always exceed inflation rates.

Calculate the net income earned during the year. Assume that the change to stockholder's equity results only from net income ear
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The net income earned during the year is $ 5,000

Explanation:

The first point to kn ow is the accounting equation is A=L+SE

So to calculate the opening stockholders equity we can rearrange the accounting equation to be:

A-L = SE

so opening SE is

Assets $ 50,000 - Liabilities $ 40,000 =  Stockholders Equity $ 10,000

Ending Stockholders equity is:

Assets $ 35,000 - Liabilities $ 20,000 = Stockholders Equity $ 15,000

Since the question mentions that the change in stockholders equity is only due to net income, the increase of $ 5,000 represents the net income for 2019.

Which conclusion is accurately reflected in the data table? (5 points)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

As your level of education increases, your income potential also increases.

Explanation:

As per the graph, the highest earners are holders of a doctoral degree, professional degrees, and master degrees. These are highly educated individuals.

At the bottom end, the lowest earners are those with high school diplomas and below.

The graphs clearly illustrate that acquiring a high level of education increases the probability of increased earning.

Amy's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in San Francisco that sells gluten-free pizzas. Amy's very tiny kitchen has barely
Mkey [24]

Solution :

Amy can only change the number of workers. As the fixed input cannot be changed in the short run, so in the short run, the workers are the variable inputs and the ovens are the fixed inputs.

a). Marginal Product of labor

  No. of workers    The Output    The Marginal product of labor

   0                           0                           ---

   1                            60                        60

   2                           100                       40

   3                           130                       30

   4                           150                       20

   5                           160                       10

The marginal product of the labor is the change in the quantity i.e pizza as Amy hires an additional worker.

1 worker raise the output to 100, so the marginal product of labor of 1 worker is 100 and so on. The marginal product of the labor = change in the output / change in the number of workers.

b).

No. of workers   The Output    The Fixed cost  The Variable cost Total cost

       0                            0              20                        0                          20

       1                            60             20                       30                         50

      2                            100             20                      60                       80

      3                            130             20                       90                       110

      4                            150            20                        120                      140

     5                             160            20                        150                      170

The fixed cost remains the same but the variable cost increases as one more worker is hired.

The law of the diminishing the marginal product of labor is determined by = total output increases at the decreasing rate as we increase the quantity of the labor.

A company sells two models of a product—basic and premium. Fixed costs are $150,000. The basic model has a variable cost of $75
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Break-even in composite units = 4364 units (rounded off)

Explanation:

The break-even point in composite units is used when there are two or more products. It is calculated by first calculating the individual Contribution of each unit and then calculating the weighted-average contribution per unit. Then the Total Fixed costs are divided by the weighted average contribution per unit.

Following are the calculations,

  • Contribution per unit (Basic) = 100 - 75 = 25/unit
  • Contribution per unit (Premium) = 150 - 100 = 50/unit
  • Weighted average contribution = (25 * 5/8) + (50 * 3/8) = 34.375/unit
  • Break-even in composite units = 150000 / 34.375 = <em>4363.636364 units</em> rounded off to <em>4364 units</em>.
