Answer:

1) You should go home and watch TV.

Explanation:

Since you value seeing the play $10, then you should leave the theater and go to your house to watch TV since that has a higher value for you ($12).

We are talking about opportunity costs here. Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another. In this case the opportunity costs are:

  • watch the play = $10
  • watch TV = $12
  • read a book = $8

Since watching TV is more valuable to you, then that is what you should be doing.

<span>Crop rotation. Crop rotation is growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same plot in sequenced seasons. Peas, like other legumes, are nitrogen fixing crop.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

C) Invest $2500 in a risk free asset and $2500 in a stock with beta of 2.0

Explanation:

Stock that is beta 2 means that it is twice as volatile as the whole market. Meaning for example if the market is expected to move by 5% this stock will move 10%. New startup firms that are fast-growing usually have stocks in this category. It is more risky thank normal shares but no too much. We can invest $2,500 here.

We invest the remaining $2,500 in risk-free assets

This is a backup on the chance that the investment on beta 2 stocks do not perform, the risk-free assets will make up for losses.

marin [14]

Answer:

Will switching to a perpetual inventory system strengthen Triple Creek Hardware’s control over inventory items?

  • Yes, a perpetual inventory system provides updated information about inventory levels and costs. Since it is updated immediately, many of the company's problems could be solved, e.g. you can place an alert for minimum inventory levels on certain products and you can determine if the stocks of low sellers are too high.

Will switching to a perpetual inventory system eliminate the need for a physical inventory count?

  • It will not completely eliminate the need to carry out a physical inventory, but it should reduce it substantially. Also, you can carry out a random physical inventory for certain products only. If the physical count shows that there are problems with the registered inventory, then you can carry out a complete physical count.
