Answer:

Stock A will be preferable for the risk averse Investors.

Explanation:

The reason is that risk is the measure of the vulnerability of the returns on the investment made which means if the return on the investment has greater vulnerability of returns then it is highly risky. So the risk averse investor would prefer stock A with lower risk.

(Special comments:

It must be noted that the higher return shows that the investment is also highly risky because nobody is going to give you more with low risk associated investments. This means lower return on Stock B is also preferable here for the risk averse investor because it carries lower risks.)

Kay [80]

Answer:

Total weekly pay of August =   =  $ 1468.75

Explanation:

Annual salary = $30,000

Monthly Salary = $ 30,000/12=  $ 2500

Salary for 40 hours * ( 4 weeks) = 160 hours = $ 2500

Salary for 1 hour= $ 2500/160=  $ 15.625= $ 15.63

He worked additional 4 hours so pay for four hours is = 4 * 15.63=  $ 62.5

But as he is a non exempt  employee he is entitled to get 1.5 times higher than normal pay for over time so  

he will be paid $ 62.5 * 1.5= $ 93.75 for over time

Commission on Sales = 3 % of $25,000

                                    = $ 750

Weekly pay= $ 2500/4=  $ 625

Total weekly pay of August =  Weekly pay + Commission + Overtime

                                                =  $ 625 +  $ 750 +  $ 93.75

                                                 =  $ 1468.75

Assume that Global Cleaning Service performed cleaning services for a department store on account for​ $180. How would this tran
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(B) Increase both assets and equity by $180

Explanation:

The transaction analysis model tells us that:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Owner's equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings = Net Income − Dividends

and

Net Income = Income − Expenses

The expanded accounting equation is obtain if all substitutions are made:

Asset = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income – Expenses − Dividends

In the Global Cleaning Service`s case:

Assets are increased either because the service is collected or is an account receivable. As the service provided is a revenue (income) is part of the Owner's Equity that also increase. Both, Asset and Owner's Equity, increase in 180.

2. What kind of good is it? Determine whether each of the following goods is a private good, a public good, a common resource, o
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1- A cabana along a beach that is open to the public --- Common resource

2- A new drum set for you to play in your friend's band --- Private good

3- A large, beautiful statue in a town square --- Public good

Explanation:

1- Common resources are goods that are not excluded, but are rival. Not excluded means that no restrictions can be imposed on the use, such as paying a price, for example because there is no personnel or technical provision available to enforce this.

2- Private goods are defined as goods that are excluded and rival. Private goods are the opposite of public goods.  

Excluded means that some consumers can be excluded from the use of this good. For example: Someone has bought a good and decides who uses the good.  

In turn, rival means that, if used properly, it cannot be consumed again or simultaneously by others.

3- A public good is a commodity or service characterized by two basic characteristics: non-rivalry and non-excludability.

Non-rivalry means that a person's consumption of a commodity does not affect the quantity or quality of the same commodity that another person can consume.

Non-excludability means that it is impossible to exclude anyone from the consumption of an item (for example, because it did not pay for the item). Goods that hold only one of the properties are called semicollective goods, while the goods that possess both properties are called genuine collective goods.
