Answer:

The right choice is Option c (110.0%).

Explanation:

⇒ Effective \ rate \ of \ protection = tariff \ rate \ on \ imported \ finished \ good + price \ of \ Component\times  \frac{(tariff \ on \ imported \ good- tariff \ on \ imported \ component)}{(Price \ of \ finished \ good - Price \ of \ components)}

On estimating the values, we get

⇒                                   = 30 \ percent + (80 \ percent\times 500)\times \frac{(30 \ percent - 10 \ percent)}{500-80 \ percent\times 500}

⇒                                   = 110 \ percent

Note: percent = %

If a firm increases its use of capital while holding constant the number of workers employed, the firm is said to experience:
stich3 [128]

Answer:

It is capital deepening (D)

Explanation:

Capital deepening typically represents an increase in the capital-labor ratio. This arises when there is infusion of additional capital(e.g technological improvement) into the production processes while work force is either kept constant or cut-down and thereby makes labor to be more productive.

Hence, as the capital-labor ratio increases, the marginal product of labor, i.e. the amount of product that can be produced by supplying one more unit of labor, increases  because there are now more units of capital per worker.

Which of the following (all other factors held constant) will cause an increase in a stock’s value?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

B, a decrease in the stock's beta.

Explanation:

A stock's beta is the determination of the stock's volatility in comparison with the market.

Simply put, it is the determination of how easily a stock will crash. The lower the beta of a stock, the less likely it is to be volatile.

Mostly, stocks with a volatility below 1.0 is less volatile compared to stocks with a beta above 1.0.

The beta of a stock is calculated by finding the rate, the rate of return and the market rate of return of the stock. All of these above are to expressed as a percentage. Having gotten the percentages from above, the risk free rate is subtracted from the rate of return of the stock. After that, the risk free rate is also subtracted from the market rate of return.

The value from the first subtraction is divided by the value from the second subtraction.

Cheers.
