Ksenya-84 [330]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

very many, few

Explanation:

The monopolistic competition consists of many sellers offering differentiated products. There are minimal barriers to entry or exit of the industry. Advertising and marketing of products are high due to increased competition. No single firm has the power to set prices.

An oligopoly consists of few but large firms dominating a big market. There could be other smaller firms with a small percentage of the market share.  Firms in an oligopoly market mat collaborate to look out new entrants. This market is characterized by heavy advertising, with firms offering either homogeneous or differentiated products.  The objective of each firm is to maximize profits, which makes all the firm to set high prices.

A fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The 1st is a stock fund, the 2nd is a long-term government and corporate bond
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Expected return is: 7.37% and the Standard deviation is: 24.96%

Explanation:

Correlation between fund S&B=0,0667

Standard Deviation of Fund S=41%

Standard Deviation of Fund(B)=30%

E(R) of Stock Fund S=12%

E(R) of Stock Fund B=5%

Covariance between the funds = Standard Deviation of Fund(B) × Standard Deviation of Fund S × correlation between these funds

Cov = 0.41 × 0.30 × 0.0667 = 0.008204

Now minimum variance portfolio is found by applying:

W min(S)=(SDB)^2-Cov(B,S) / ((SDS)^2+(SDB)^2-2Cov(B,S)

W min(S) = 0.338431

W min(B) = 1-0.338431=0.661569

1) E(r)min= 0.338431 × 12% + 0.661569 × 5% = 7.37%

2) Standard Deviation:

SD Min = (Ws^2XSDs^2+Wb^2XSDb^2+2XWsWb*Cov(s,B)^1/2

SDmin=(0.338431^2 × 0.41^2 + 0.661569^2 ×   0.3^2   + 2 × 0.338431 × 0.661569 × 0.008204)^1/2

SDmin=24.96%

10. Calculate the future value of $2000 in a. 5 years at an interest rate of 5% per year. b. 10 years at an interest rate of 5%
timofeeve [1]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Given that,

Principal = P = $2000

As we know that

Future value (FV) = P × (1 + R)^n

here,

R = Rate of interest,

N = no of years

Now

A) N = 5, R = 5% = 0.05

FV = $2,000 × (1.05)^5

= $2,553

The Interest earned is

= $2,553 - $2,000

= $553

B) N = 10, R = 5% = 0.05

FV = $2,000 × (1.05)^10

= $3,258

The Interest earned is

= $3,258 - $2,000

= $1,258

C) N = 5, R = 10% = 0.10

FV = $2,000 × (1.10)^5

= $3,221

D) Option A

As in the part B the time period is 10 years as compared with the part A i.e. 5 years having the interest rate same

Also the cumulative interest would be greather than double as compared with part A

A company has positive cash flows from operating activities, negative cash flows from capital expenditures, and negative cash fl
Shalnov [3]

Growth stage. Profits from the company should be able to comfortably cover overhead and pay employees at this point. Sales are probably rising, and profit margins have risen once capital investments and loans have been repaid by the business.

<h3>What these terms means?</h3><h3>A) Positive cash flow</h3><h3>B) Negative cash flow</h3><h3>C) Dividends</h3>
  • The net amount of cash and cash equivalents coming into and going out of a business is referred to as cash flow.
  • Money spent and money received represent inflows and outflows, respectively. Fundamentally, a company's capacity to produce positive cash flows, or more specifically, its capacity to maximize long-term free cash flow, determines its ability to create value for shareholders (FCF).
  • When a company has positive cash flow, its net balance on its cash flow statement for that particular period is higher than zero. In other words, the net result of all cash inflows and outflows over this period is positive rather than negative, and as a result, the company's cash reserves are increasing.
  • Because a capital expenditure involves money leaving your company, it has a negative value in comparison to income or revenue. Because they are being deducted from your balance sheet or show as a negative capital expenditure on cash flow statements, capital expenditures are negative.
  • a sum of money that is regularly paid by a business to its shareholders out of its profits (typically once per year) (or reserves) is called Dividends.

Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of wa
Radda [10]

Answer:

1170839.28 dyn/cm^2

16.9816 psia

117.083928 kN/m^2

Explanation:

To calculate the absolute pressure in the bottom of tube we need to sum the atmosferic and gauge pressure.

P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G

And the gauge pressure is given by the contributions of columns of water (P_{w}) and mercury(P_{Hg}), we can calculate the contribution of each column as:

P= \rho g h (*)

where \rho is the respective density, g gravity and h is height.

So we have all the data required to use the above equations (P_{atm}, height and density of each column) we only need to be carefully with the units.

For simplicity we can to express all pressure contributions in mmHg ( P_{atm}, P_{w} and P_{Hg}). Note that the units "x" mmHg  means the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury of "x" mm high. For example, in this case we have a column 12.1 cm of Hg, that is a column of 121 mmHg (passing from cm to mm only requires multiply by 10) pressure exerted by that column is 121 mmHg.

Now pressure of 5.6 cm (56 mm) of water would be 56 mm of water, but it is not the same that mmHg, since the density of water is lower, the pressure exerted by 1 mm of water is lower than the exerted by 1 mm of Hg. The conversion between mmHg and mm of water is given by the relation between the densities.

mmHg=\frac{\rho_w*mmH_2O}{\rho_{Hg}}

mmHg=\frac{0.998*mmH_2O}{13.55}=0.0737 mmH_2O

And pressure of water in mmHg is

0.0737*56=4.1246 mmHg

The absolute pressure is:

P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G= 756 + 121 + 4.1246  = 881.1246 mmHg = 88.11246cmHg

To pass to dyn/cm^2 units we need to use the equation (*)

P= \rho g h = 13.55 \frac{g}{cm^3} * 980.665 \frac{cm}{s^2} * 88.11246 cmHg = 1170839.28 \frac{g}{cm s^2} = 1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2}

Note: We need to use cm Hg for units coherence

Now passing from dyn/cm^2 to kN/m^2 (or kPa) we need to consider that 1 dyn is 10^{-8} kN and 1 cm^2 is 10^{-4} m^2.  

1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2} * \frac{10^{-8}kN}{1 dyn}*\frac{cm^2}{10^{-4}m^2}=117.083928kN/m^2

Now passing kN/m^2 to psia. We need to consider that 1 psia is 6.89476.

117.083928kN/m^2*\frac{1psia}{6.89476kN/m^2}=16.9816 psia

Travka [436]
Things that you need to check are:
- Your FICO score (the higher your fico scores will indicates that you're financialy trustworthy)
- Check the balance. Make sure that you always pay all the required balance. Failing to do this will be recorded as failure to complete payments no matter how little it is.
