butalik [34]

Answer:

1) Expected return is 12.12%

2) Portfolio beta is 1.2932

Explanation:

1)

The expected return can be calculated by multiplying the return in a particular state of economy by the probability of that state occuring.

The expected return = (0.32 * -0.11) + 0.68 * 0.23

Expected return = 0.1212 or 12.12%

b)

The portfolio beta is the the systematic riskiness of the portfolio that is unavoidable. The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio.

Thus the portfolio beta will be,

Portfolio beta = 0.33 * 1.02 + 0.2 * 1.08 + 0.37 * 1.48 + 0.1 * 1.93

Portfolio beta = 1.2932

____ consumption occurs when consumers "set apart" objects and events from normal activities and treat them with respect. ____ c
solong [7]

Answer:

  • Sacred consumption
  • Profane consumption

Explanation:

This differentiation is based on special religious events (e.g. religious holidays) that considered some goods as sacred, while profane had to do with everyday life.

Some modern marketing strategies try to build sacred brands. For example, Google has become our God of all knowledge and no one even dares to challenge that almost religious belief. Anyone can make their own coffee or buy coffee at any coffee shop, but Starbucks is different, it has built a sense of emotional connection with the public. It's not any coffee that we need or want.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Assuming the same rate that Coca Cola's did in Germany between 1939 and 2008 and the same volume distribution of 2011 cases sales, then hypothetically sales in Germany in 2053 would be 226 bilion cases.

Explanation:

Taking the Coca Cola's worldwide growth the same rate that Coca Cola's grew in Germany between 1939 and 2008, that is 10.26% per, then for the 26.7 billion from today up to the 2053 year we would have:

S = 26.7 billion * (1.1026)^42 = 1614 billion cases

If we use volume distribution of the year 2011, then sales in Germany would be:

SG = 1614 billion cases * 14 % = 226 billion cases

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost will increase. Average fixed cost will not change.

Explanation:

Marginal Cost is the change in total cost as a result of producing one extra unit of output.

Variable cost is cost that varies with output level. Average variable cost = variable cost / quantity produced

Fixed cost is cost that doesn't vary with the level of output produced. Average fixed cost = Fixed cost / quantity produced.

Total cost is the sum of fixed and variable cost. average total cost is total cost / quantity produced.

If the price of supplies increase, the cost of production increases and average total cost, average variable cost and marginal cost would increase.

Fixed cost would remain the same.
