Answer:

no matter what happens to the price of entertainment, the CPI will still increase.

Explanation:

Imagine that year 1 is the base year and the CPI is 100.

Year 2's CPI = (48 x 130%) + (32 x 125%) + $0 entertainment cost = 62.4 + 40 = 102.4

The price of cattle and housing has increased so much, that even if entertainment expenses simply disappear, the CPI will have increased by 2.4%

A firm’s stock is expected to pay a $2 annual dividend next year, and the current $50 stock price is expected to rise to $60 ove
pochemuha

Answer:

Expected rate of return will be 24%

So option (b) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given dividend in next year will be $2

So dividend D_1=2$

Current stock price P_0 = $50

And it is given that in next year stock price is $60

So growth rate =\frac{60-50}{50}=0.2 = 20%

We have to find the expected return after 12 month, that is after 1 year

We know that current price is given by P_0=\frac{D_1}{R_e-g}

50=\frac{2}{R_e-0.2}

50R_e-10=2

50R_e=12

R_e=0.24 = 24%

So expected rate of return will be 24%

So option (B) will be correct option

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The answer is: A) When the marginal cost of producing an additional unit equals the marginal revenue from that unit.

Explanation:

In economics, we assume that a company´s main goal is to maximize its profit. In order for any company do to this, the marginal cost (MC) of producing an extra unit of production must equal the marginal revenue (MR) obtained by selling that extra unit of production.

Theoretically, in perfect market conditions, MR=MC in the equilibrium point between quantity supplied and quantity demanded. But on real world conditions elasticity of both demand and supply alter the curves.
