Answer: (2) invest $1,000 in each of ten companies that have justhired Fisher graduates

Explanation:

This is the better option because if you invest all the money into one company, you stand a chance of losing all your money should the company fail.

It is better to invest in 10 companies that hired Fisher graduates. Why?

Diversification.

Diversification is investing in multiple investment vehicles to hedge your investments and ensure that you do not lose it all if one or a few investment go awry. By investing in 10 companies, you would be practicing diversification which would ensure that you do not lose it all on 1 company.

You also stand a chance to make more profit if a couple of those companies outperform your estimates.

Please do react or comment if you need any clarification or if the question was right so that you may help the next person. Thank you.

Assume that for a certain product, brand a has 15% market share, brand b has 20% market share, and brand c has 65% market share.
tiny-mole [99]
Brand B market share is now at 14%

100 = 30 + (15-3x) + (20-4x) + (65-13x)
100 = 130-20x
20x = 130-100
x = 30/20
x = 1.5

b = 20-4*1.5
   = 14

After hearing an announcement made by a major soft-drink company, the APCS Soft Drink Company has decided to hire you to write a
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, this concept is an example of supply and demand. When there is a limited supply of a product like the soft drinks in the vending machines then the price would match the number of people that want to buy the product. If in a very hot day more people want to buy a soft drink to cool down then the supply will begin to decrease as more people buy, this will create an increase in price as people would be ok with paying more money in order to be one of the lucky few to get one of the few soft drinks that are left.

devlian [24]
<span>Ethics is incredibly important when it comes to financial reporting and accounting, so important that the government saw fit to pass a law that regulates the actions of businesses and how ethical they are when it comes to how they report. The reason that ethics is so very important when it comes to the economy of the country is because if there is a reason to believe that companies are using unethical practices in reporting, it allows investors and creditors to back away and not offer any more financial backing.</span>
