Answer: B; A

Explanation:

A strict risk minimizer would work to avoid risk at all costs. For this reason they will pick Stock B if it were held in isolation. This is because it has the lowest Standard Deviation which is a measure of risk. As the deviation is the lowest, it is the least risky.

If the stock is to be held in a well diversified Portfolio then Stock A will be picked. Standard Deviation has Unsystematic risk which is diversified away in a well diversified portfolio therefore the measure of risk here is the beta. The lowest beta is the least riskiest and so the strict risk minimizer will pick Stock A.

Why might some firms voluntarily pay workers a wage above the market equilibrium
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

b) Paying higher wages can reduce a firm's training costs.

c) Paying higher wages encourages workers to be more productive.

d) Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers.

Explanation:

Firms will hire more labor when the marginal revenue product of labor is greater than the wage rate, and stop hiring as soon as the two values are equal. The point at which the MRPL equals the prevailing wage rate is the labor market equilibrium.

The idea of the efficiency wage theory is that increasing wages can lead to increased labour productivity because workers feel more motivated to work with higher pay. Paying higher wages encourages workers to be more productive. Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers. Workers stay with employers longer (instead of seeking out better-paying work with other companies) reducing businesses’ turnover, hiring, and training costs.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The correct option is a) Gross profit and ending inventory.

Explanation:

The inventory technique is a method of accounting for calculating the value of an inventory. The approach calculates the ending inventory balance by comparing the inventory cost to the merchandise price.

There are three methods for valuing inventory whic are FIFO (First In, First Out), LIFO (Last In, First Out), and WAC (Weighted Average Cost) (Weighted Average Cost). The gross profit and ending inventory are affected differently by each of these costing methods.

This implies that the selected inventory costing method impacts gross profit and ending inventory.

Therefore, the correct option is a) Gross profit and ending inventory.
