Answer: 0.000903

Explanation:

Expected return is the sum of the probability that the other returns will happen.

= (13% * 83%) + (5% * 17%)

= 10.79 % + 0.85%

= 11.64%

Variance = ((Return during boom - Expected return)²*probability of boom) + ((Return during recession - Expected Return)²*probability of recession)

Variance = ((13% -11.64%)² * 83%) + (5% - 11.64%)² * 17%)

= 0.0001535168 + 0.0007495232

= 0.000903

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

500 + 0.40q

Explanation:

A publisher prints copies of a popular weekly tabloid for distribution and sale.

Given that,

Fixed costs = $500 per print run

Variable cost = $0.40

Therefore, the cost function is as follows:

Let the number of copies printed be q,

Cost function: C(q) = Fixed cost + Variable cost

                               = 500 + (0.40 × q)

                               = 500 + 0.40q

evablogger [386]

Answer:

a corporation by estoppel or de facto corporation.

Explanation:

A corporation by estoppel is when a person has dealings with a company like it is a corporation. Doing business with an estoppel coporation means that one has admitted that company as a coporation.
