The statement “Expenses, such as depreciation on buildings
are also known as variable expenses.”, is false, due to the fact that depreciation
is a fixed cost since throughout its useful life as an asset, it reoccurs in
the same amount per period, and thus, depreciation cannot be considered a
variable cost. Nevertheless, as with all things, there is an exception. The
depreciation will be sustained in a pattern that is more consistent with a
variable expense, only if a business recruits a usage-based depreciation methodology.
To add, the corporate expense that alters with the company’s
production output is called the variable cost.
Answer:
Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
For Stock Y
= 4.85% + 1.40 × 7.35%
= 4.85% + 10.29%
= 15.14%
For Stock Z
= 4.85% + 0.85 × 7.35%
= 4.85% + 6.2475%
= 11.0975%
The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium and the same is applied in the answer
As we see the expected return of both the stock So, Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued
Answer: "The rise in the price of a pair of running shoes will increase the supply of running shoes".
This statement is <u><em> false</em></u> because <em><u>a decrease in demand for running shoes does not increase the price of a pair of running shoes and an increase in the price of a pair of running shoes does not increase the supply of running shoes. </u></em>
This occurs as the price of a pair of running shoes increases,therefore decreasing the demand and thus the supply will not increase.
Answer 1) Option B) Shift to the right.
Explanation : If the amount of land available to the company increases, the PPC will shift to the right. As the graph indicates, the PPC will grow by shifting on right side as the company is acquiring more land for building purpose.
Answer 2) Option C) Remain Unchanged.
Explanation : The company realizes it cannot construct any buildings on a portion of the land because it is at risk of a cave-in.
In this case, the PPC will remain unchanged. When the company realizes that no construction can be done on the portion of land because of its hollowness the PPC will remain to be undisturbed.
