C?

D?  

b.  If the firm wishes to minimize​ risk, which alternative do you​ recommend? ​ Why?

                          Expected         deviation            Coefficient of

Alternative          return               of return             variation

A                          20%                  8.5%                   42.5%

B                          25%                  8.6%                   34.4%

C                          19%                   6.6%                   34.21%

D                          16%                   4.9%                   30.63%

(b)

Coefficient of Variation, CV, denotes the risk per unit of return. This implies that a low CV means a low risk per unit of return. Hence, the firm can minimize risk by opting for option D which gives the lowest CV and therefore offers the lowest risk

Exp on the Debit Salary = $ 1,500,000

Credit payable Income tax = $375,000

Credit accounts payable (pension plan)= $63,000

Credit  payable tax on FICA= $114,750

Credit  payable salary (Balance) $947,250

For question 2:

Damm [24]

Answer:

-1.8%

There would be a decrease in demand of 1.8%

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.

If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitute goods.

If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods

Cross price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

-1.8 = percentage change in quantity demanded / 1%

percentage change in quantity demanded  = -1.8%
