Answer and Explanation:
I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:
The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.
The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.
The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.
The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.
Hence the answer is D.
Answer:
The expected return on the portfolio is:
10.31% ($3,331.40)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Portfolio investments: Expected Returns % Expected Returns $
Stock M = $13,400 8.50% $1,139
Stock N = $18,900 11.60% $2,192.40
Total $32,300 10.31% $3,331.40
Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100
= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100
= 10.31%
b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up. Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment. This yields 10.31% percentage value.
Answer:
$6,480,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the current liabilities is shown below:
Total assets of $11,200,000
Less: Noncurrent assets $1,480,000
Current Assets = $9,720,000
Now as we know that
Current ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
Current Liabilites is
= $9,720,000 ÷ 1.5
= $6,480,000
hence, the current liabilities is $6,480,000
Answer:
Take a look to the following explanation
Explanation:
Reserve ratio ,10%=0.1
Money multiplier=1/reserve ratio=1/0.1=10
If feds sells 1million$ bond the economy reserves increases by 1 million$ and money supply decrease by 10 million $(1*money multiplier).
If fed changes RR to 5% but banks choose to hold another ,5 percent as excess reserve ,then on aggregate actual reserve ratio will be 10%. So money multiplier would remain same,10 and so the money supply
