A financial adviser manages an equity portfolio for an endowment fund, which has an 8.2% return objective. The adviser makes a s

trategic allocation recommendation that produces a return of 8.5% in an economy that has experienced a 2.9% rate of inflation. The advisor also creates her own benchmark for the fund which includes multiple indexes that have similar risk profiles of the securities in the fund. The benchmark return during the period is 8.9%. Is the endowment fund satisfied with the advisor's performance?

Answer:

The endowment fund is not satisfied with the advisor's performance

Explanation:

Judging from a nominal interest rate perspective where return expected of an investment comprises of real rate of return and an extra return which is a compensation for inflation rate in the economy,the endowment fund is not satisfied with performance of the advisor.

The satisfactory rate of return that would be expected of the advisor is computed below:

nominal interest rate=real rate+inflation rate

real rate is 8.2%

inflation rate is 2.9%

nominal interest rate=8.2%+2.9%

                                  =11.10%

Stanford owns and operates two dry cleaning businesses. He travels to Boston to discuss acquiring a restaurant. Later in the mon
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The answer is: $4,522

Explanation:

Since Stanford doesn't operate in the restaurant business and doesn't buy the restaurant, he cannot deduct any amount for investigation costs relating to the restaurant.

Stanford doesn't operate in the bakery business but he bought the bakery, so he can deduct up to $5,000 (before amortization) for investigation costs related to the bakery. But those $5,000 are reduced by every dollar he spent over $50,000, so he can only deduct $4,000 [= $5,000 - ($51,000 - $50,000)].

The remaining $47,000 (= $51,000 - $4,000) can be amortized over 180 months, which equals $261 per month (= $47,000 / 180 months).

Since he bought the restaurant in November, he can deduct two months: $261 per month x 2 months = $522

So his total deduction for investigation expenses is = $4,000 + $522 = $4,522

Suppose that Italy and Sweden both produce rye and cheese. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 bushels
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese

Explanation:

Suppose that Italy and Sweden both produce rye and cheese.

Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 bushels of rye while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 10 bushels of rye.

<u>By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese because it has a lower opportunity cost (as a matter of fact half the cost) in comparison with Sweden.</u>

<u>Comparative advantage is an economic term that refers to an economy's ability to produce goods and services at a lower opportunity cost than that of trade partners</u>
