Answer:

Allocative efficiency is about distributing or allocating resources in the best possible manner. E.g. in order to fight the current pandemic, more resources ($) is allocated to different health care institutions.

Productive efficiency is about how a company or a person uses the resources that it has in order to produce the greatest amount of benefits at the lowest possible cost. E.g. in a hospital, if a doctor is able to treat 15 patients per day, his/her productive efficiency will be higher than another doctor that only treats 10 patients per day.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Unlike Accrual basis accounting the cash basis method of accounting requires revenue to be recognized when performance obligations are settled rather than when they are incurred.

The major difference between cash and accrual accounting is in the timing of when transactions are taken account of. Whereas Accrual accounting recognizes transactions when they occur (i.e. expenses when they are incurred and revenue when they are earned) Cash accounting recognizes revenue and expenses only when cash is paid.

Suppose that the pound is pegged to gold at 6 pounds per ounce, whereas the franc is pegged to gold at 12 francs per ounce. This

zmey [24]

Answer:

we can look at this problem from 2 different point of views:

if you have francs and wish to buy pounds: then you take 12 francs and purchase 1 ounce of gold, and then you sell it for 6 pounds. This way you will only spend 2 francs per each pound instead of 2.2.

if you have pounds and want to make a gain: you take 6 pounds and purchase 13.2 francs and you then buy 1.1 ounces of gold. Then you sell the 1.1 ounces of gold in exchange for 6.6 pounds.

Any of the scenarios does not include any transaction prices nor shipping costs, it is only theoretical.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

-1.0

Explanation:

Diversification in a portfolio refers to spreading investments in such a way so as to minimize risk.

The correlation coefficient r between two securities signifies how return from one security is related with another security. For example, two securities of the same sector may move in the same direction or positively correlated as in if price of one rises, the price of other rises too maybe not by the same margin.

In case of a negative correlation, the security returns move in opposite directions i.e the securities are least related to one another.

Maximum diversification is achieved when r is equal to -1 i.e the two stocks move in opposite direction by the same magnitude.
