The correct option is C,$962

pmt is the annual coupon interest=$1000*9%=$90

=-pv(10%,5,90,1000)=$962.09

The current  price is $962

In the short run a) a firm does not have sufficient time to change any of the resources it uses. b) a firm does not have suffici
timama [110]

Answer:

c) a firm does not have sufficient time to change the level of use some of its inputs.

Explanation:

The definition of short-run in economics is not a term to be used for a specific certain period of time but it means that the period of time is too short that the firms cannot change the level they are using of some of their inputs or costs. It means they do have fixed costs they cannot change. For example, all machinery installed, a yearly rent paid, electricity or others that the firm cannot change unless there is sufficient time. In a short period of time, it will have those costs anyway. The firm cannot change the level of that input. And it is short run of at least one input. It may be many. But it is not necessary to have all inputs unchanged to consider that period of time as short-run.

However, firms can change level of inputs if they have more time. That is cost the long run. All costs are variable costs when we are in long run.

Assume that investors can borrow and lend at risk-free rate of 5%. The optimal tangent portfolio on the efficient frontier has a
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B. Portfolio B with E(R)=13% and STD=18%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Reward to risk ratio = (15% - 5%) ÷ 20% = 0.5

The porfolio should be in line i.e.

= 0.05 + 0.5 × standard deviation

For portfolio A

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 25

= 17.5%

For portfolio C

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 1

= 5.5%

Portfolio B, the std is 18%

So,

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 18%

= 14%
