Answer:
All of the following statements about the geography of meat production in the United States and Canada are true EXCEPT: Consumer demand for organic foods has significantly decreased the amount of meat produced by most agribusiness firms.

1. Unions have been in decline since the 1960s because of
Answer: <u>A. foreign competition.</u>
Explanation: Unions were often conducted in the past in order to protect workers from<em> "arbitrary decisions" </em>of employers. Such decisions resulted to the<em> laying off of workers </em>and<em> cutting of wages</em>. On the contrary, business owners have a different goal. They wanted to make more profit by cutting the wages, so they didn't like the unions. However, unions have been in decline in the 1960s, mainly because of international/foreign competitions. This is because the "bargaining power of the unions as they represent the employees were reduced."

900,000 / 1/4 = liabilities
900,000 - liabilities - stockholder's equity
900,000/4 = 225,000
900,000 - 225,000 = 675,000
Answer:
6.75%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Beta of the stock = 1.12
Expected return = 10.8% = 0.108
Return of risk free asset = 2.7% = 0.027
Now,
Since it is equally invested in two assets
Therefore,
both will have equal weight = 
= 0.5
Thus,
Expected return on a portfolio = ∑(Weight × Return)
= [ 0.5 × 10.8% ] + [ 0.5 × 2.7% ]
= 5.4% + 1.35%
= 6.75%
