The sticky-price theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that if the price level rises by 5% while firms were expect

ing it to rise by 2%, then some firms with high menu costs will have:________.

Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>to keep their prices the same</u>

Explanation:

Remember, having a higher Menu cost implies that such a firm would suffer more if it adjusted its prices.

So the sticky-price theory makes the assumption that a firm that notices an increase in the prices of their products would <em>keep their prices low</em> out of fear that doing so would result in losses for the firm if demand changes negatively.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Interest will be $5000

So option (A) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given principal amount P = $500000

Rate of interest = 6 %

Time is November 1 to December 31

So time = 2 months = 0.1666 year

Interest is given by

Interest =\frac{principal\ amount\times rate\times time}{100}=\frac{500000\times 6\times 0.1666}{100}=$5000

So option (a) will be correct option

Asset A and B have expected returns of 5% and 3% per year respectively. Their annual volatilities are both 20% and the correlati
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

1. Weight of A=0.5, Weight of B= 0.5

2. Asset A has the highest shape ratio. The weight of A and B in the optimal risky portfolio that has the highest shape ratio is:

Weight of A= 0.105, Weight of B= 0.895

Explanation:

Expected return of Asset A= 5%Expected return of Asset A= 5%

Expected return of Asset B= 3%

Annual volatilities of Asset A= 20%

Annual votalities of Asset B= 20%

1. Correlation coefficient = 30% = 0.3 < 1

Risk Free Rate = 1% =0.01

1. Weight of A and B in portfolio with minimal risk is:

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Therefore,

CovXAXB = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.3 × 0.2 × 0.2

= 0.012

Hence,

Weight of A= (0.2)^2 - 0.012 / (0.2)^2 + (0.2)^2 - 2(0.012)

Weight of A= 0.04 - 0.012 / 0.04 + 0.04 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.08 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.056

=0.5

Weight of A = 0.5

Weight of B= 1 - Weight of A

Weight of B= 1 - 0.5

Weight of B= 0.5

2. Shape ratio of A= RA - Rf / β

= 0.05 - 0.01 / 2

= 0.04/2

= 0.02 =20%

Shape ratio of B= RB - Rf / β

= 0.03 - 0.01/ 2

0.02 / 2

=0.01 = 10%

So, Asset A has the highest shape ratio

Cov (XAXB) = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.03 × 0.2 × 0.1

= 0.006

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Weight of A = (0.1)^2 - 0.006 / (0.2)^2 + (0.1)^2 - 2(0.006)

= 0.01 - 0.006 / 0.04 +0.01 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.05 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.038

= 0.105

Weight of A = 0.105

Weight of B= 1 - 0.105

Weight of B= 0.895

You have a portfolio that is equally invested in Stock F with a beta of 1.08, Stock G with a beta of 1.45, and the market. What
Aliun [14]

Answer:

1.265

Explanation:

According to the situation, the solution of the beta of portfolio is as follows

Beta portfolio = (weightage of investment F × beta F) + (proportion of investment G ×beta G)

Beta protfolio =  (0.5 × 1.08) + (0.5 × 1.45)

= 0.54 + 0.725

= 1.265

Hence, the beta of your portfolio is 1.265  by applying the above formula

Julli [10]

Answer:

c. 1.14

Explanation:

Year         Cash Flow    PV Factor 10%     PV of Cash flows

                        ($)                                                              ($)

Year 1             180,000         0.909                     163,620

Year 2             120,000         0.826                       99,120

Year 3             100,000         0.751                       75,100

Year 4               90,000         0.683                       61,470

Year 5               90,000         0.621                       55,890

                                                                Total              =    455,200

Initial cash outflow = $400,000

Cash inflow = $455,200

So, we can calculate the present value index by using following formula,

Present value index = Cash inflow ÷ Cash outflow

= $455,200 ÷ $400,000

= 1.14
