Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Orientation.

Explanation:

The primary organization-specific factors are <em>orientation, size of the organization, </em>and<em> degree of centralization</em>. Orientation <em>refers to the function of a company that controls the decisions in regards to purchases</em>. The size of the organization implies decision making will be more centralized in larger firms while more decentralized in smaller firms. Finally, the degree of centralization states that even in highly autonomous corporations, some purchases might be subject to the approval of a manager who confirms the need for the assets being acquired.

<em>Because in Anchor Inc. the purchase decisions are made by engineers the orientation organization-specific factor is more relevant in that company</em>.

Health can have a negative effect on an individual's income because it can" __________. affect a person's participation in the w
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

affect a person's participation in the workforce

Explanation:

A person experiencing health-related challenges may be unable to attend to his or her daily routines. It implies they cannot engage in economic activists resulting in loss of income.  

Poor health is a heavy burden on the individual and the family. First, it is expensive to treat for the illness. Some diseases may cost thousands of dollars in treatment. Secondary, a sick person becomes dependent. He or she cannot be part of the workforce, meaning he is not contributing to the income of the family or society.

In some situations, it requires a family to hire a nurse to attend to the sick person.  A family member may quit their job to nurse a sick relative. Poor health may not only lead to the ill person not engaging in the workforce, but it may cause a relative stop working for a while.

You have $ 10 comma 000 to invest. You decide to invest $ 20 comma 000 in Google and short sell $ 10 comma 000 worth of​ Yahoo!
Naddik [55]

Answer:

expected return is 18%

volatility of the​ portfolio 13.23 %

Explanation:

Your Investment: $ 10,000

Invest $ 20,000 in Google, Google's expected return is 15 %

Sell $ 10,000 worth of​ Yahoo! Yahoo! Yahoo!'s expected return is 12 %

=> The weight of your portfolio is 2 for the Google stock, and -1 for the Yahoo stock.  The negative sign for the Yahoo stock indicates a short position in the stock. The expected return is the weighted average of the returns on the two stocks:

  • 2 * 15% + (-1) * 12% = 18%

The volatility of the portfolio is:

\sqrt{2^{2}*0.15^{2} + -1^{2}*0.25^{2} +2*2*(-1)*0.9*0.15*0.25 } = 13.23 %
