Answer:
The expected return on this stock is:
C. -6.80%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
State of the Economy Probability E(R) Weighted Value
Boom 0.40 16% 0.064
Recession 0.60 -22% -0.132
Total expected returns -0.068
= -6.8%
Let us assume that this stock is Stock A. Therefore, Stock A's expected return is given by adding the weighted returns of the two economic states of Boom and Recession. The result shows that the returns will be negative (-6.8%). This implies that instead of appreciating in value, the stock will actually depreciate by 6.8%.
Answer:
Prices will decrease and the quantity produced will increase.
Explanation:
Because labor costs are lower in developing countries, when these countries produce manufactured goods, they do it at a lower cost, meaning that these goods will also have a lower price for the final consumers. If these cheaper goods are exported to the U.S. market, the U.S. market is flooded with more goods at a lower price, something that may affect some U.S. firms, but that benefits the majority of U.S. consumers.
Answer: The projected benefit obligation is $494 millions
Explanation:
Using the formula
Closing PBO = Opening PBO + S + I -B ± A
Where PBO = Projected Benefit Obiligation, S = service cost, I = interest cost, B = Pension benefit paid, A = Gain due to changes in actuarial assumptions
Interest cost = 5% of 460
= (5÷ 100) = 0.05 × 460
= 23
Closing PBO = 460 + 48 + 23 - 23 - 14
= $494
There is an increase in the Projected benefit obligation to $494 million

Answer:
Total revenue rises immedately after the fare increase, since demand over the immediate period is price Inelastic.
Explanation:
Elasticity in the price demand measures the porcentage in the change of the quantity demanded as a response to a change in the price. If the elasticity is more than 0 but less than 1 it means that the price demand is inelastic. So when the price is rised the quantity demand will decrease in a minor porcentage than the rise in the price so it will represent a bigger revenue.
