Answer:
C. Higher prices but lower total revenue from marijuana sales.
Explanation:
The above scenario totally explains inelastic demand. Inelastic demand is when the buyer’s demand does not change as much as the price changes. When price increases by 20% and demand decreases by only 1%, demand is said to be inelastic.
When the price increases, people will still purchase roughly the same amount of the good or service as they did prior to the increase because their needs stay the same. A similar situation exists when there is a decrease in price demand will not increase substantially because consumers only have a limited need for the product.
Answer:
transfer price 3.31
Explanation:
the minimun transfer price should be equal to the marginal cost:
In this case: variable manufacturing cost + shipping cost.
variable cost 3.1
shipping cos 0.21
marginal price 3.31 = cost of produce an additional unit = transfer price
there is no additional fixed cost so this should be the transfer price.
Answer: b. The beta of the portfolio is higher than the highest of the three betas
Explanation:
The beta of a portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the individual betas of the individual stocks. As such, the highest individual beta will be the upper limit of the portfolios entire beta.
For instance.
3 stocks A, B and C have betas of 1, 1.3 and 2 respectively.
A has a weight of 1%, B has a weight of 1% and C has a weight of 98%.
The portfolio beta will be;
= (0.01 * 1 ) + ( 0.01 * 1.3) + ( 0.98 * 2)
= 1.98
Even if the stock with the highest beta had an advantage of weighing such a high figure, it it mathematically impossible for the portfolio beta to be higher than it.
