Answer:

The answers are: 1)prices, 4) employment levels and 5) gross domestic product (GDP)

Explanation:

The main economic indicator economists use to determine the state of the economy is the gross domestic product. The gross domestic product (GDP) includes the value of all the final and legal products and services produced in the country during the year. The increase of the general level of prices is called inflation. Employment indicators, especially the unemployment rate are very accurate thermometers of the economy. When an economy is hot (low unemployment rate), it means it is growing.

The standard deviation of a portfolio consisting of 30% of Stock X and 70% of Stock Y is:

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The portfolio SD is A. 20.65%

Explanation:

The standard deviation tells the total risk (both systematic and unsystematic) associated with a stock or a portfolio. The portfolio risk or the standard deviation of portfolio can be calculated using the following formula as attached in the picture below.

Using this formula, the standard deviation of the portfolio is:

SDp = √(0.3)² * (0.2)² + (0.7)² * (0.25)² + 2 * (0.3)*(0.7) * 0.4 * (0.2)*(0.25)

Portfolio SD = 0.20645 or 20.645% rounded off to 20.65%

A Whopper combo meal costs $3.00 and gives you an additional 15 units of utility; a meal at the Embassy Suites costs $29.00 and

Olenka [21]

Answer:

be indifferent between the two meals

Explanation:

Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction received from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good. the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.

Marginal utility per good = marginal utility / price of the good

Whopper combo meal = 15 / 3 = 5

a meal at the Embassy Suites = 145 / 29 = 5

both meals have the same marginal utility of 5. She would be indifferent between consuming the two meals

When the price of good A is $50, the quantity demanded of good A is 500 units. When the price of good A rises to $70, the quanti

olga55 [171]

Answer: The price elasticity of demand for good A is 0.67, and an increase in price will result in a increase in total revenue for good A

Explanation:

The following can be deduced form the question:

P1 = $50

P2 = $70

Q1 = 500 units

Q2 = 400 units

Percentage change in quantity = [Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2 ] × 100

Percentage change in price = [P2 - P1 / (P2 + P1) ÷ 2 ] × 100

% change in quantity = (400 - 500)/(400 + 500)/2 × 100

= -100/450 × 100

= -22.22%

% change on price = (70 - 50)/(70 + 50)/2 × 100

= 20/60 × 100

= 33

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change on price

= -22.22 / 33

= -0.67

This means that a 1% change in price will lead to a 0.67% change in quantity demanded. As there was a price change, there'll be a little change in quantity demanded because demand is inelastic. Thereby, he increase in price will lead to an increase in the total revenue.

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand for good A is 0.67, and an increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue for good A

Gross Inc. signs a five-year licensing agreement with Maiger Company. Gross Inc. will pay Maiger annual installment payments of

olganol [36]

Answer:

$4,500

Explanation:

First, calculate the total Installment

Total Installment payment = Annual Installment x Numbers of annual

Where

Annual Installment = $10,500 per year

Numbers of annual = 5 years

Installment payment = $10,500 per year x 5 years

Installment payment = $52,500

Now use the following formula to calculate the Interest payent

Interest payment = Installment Payment - Fair value of contract

Where

Installment Payment = $52,500

Fair value of contract = $48,000

Placing values in the formula

Interest payment = $52,500 - $48,000

Interest payment = $4,500
