Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: a small elasticity of demand.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept known as<em> "price elasticity of demand"</em> refers to the relationship that shows how much the quantity demanded of a product will change when the price of it changes. And therefore that it indicates the variation that exists between the price and the quantity demanded for the product.

Secondly, when it comes to products that are highly essential to life, like water, the price elasticity of its demand will be inelastic or what is the same as small elastic due to the fact that it does not matter how much the price changes, the amount demanded by the consumers will stay due to the fact that the product is highly needed in their lives.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

What would your portfolio's new beta be? 2,04

Explanation:

"To calculate the ending Beta by changing one stock it's necessary to find how much weigh the stock we are removing from the portfollio.

7.500 / 150.000 = 0,050 , now we have the participation of the stock in the portfolio, then we weigh the beta of the stock we want to remove by this number, 1,00 (Beta) x 0,050 (weight in the portfolio) = 0,050 (Beta), the number it's the same as the weight because the Beta is 1,00.

Now with this final number we can ponderate the new Beta in the Portfolio, so we multiply the 0,50 (weight) * 0,75 (New Beta) = 0,038 New Beta. We substitute the beta we remove for this one and we get the NEW BETA PORTFOLIO of 2,04. Please see details below:

You observe that a firm's ROE is above the industry average, but both its profit margin and equity multiplier are below the indu
love history [14]

Answer:

The correct option is "a".

Its total assets turnover must be above the industry average.

Explanation:

Return on equity = profit margin * asset turnover* equity multiplier

Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. Because shareholders' equity is equal to a company’s assets minus its debt, ROE could be thought of as the return on net assets.

ROE is considered a measure of how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits.

If ROE is above the industry average, this means that the company's management is above average at using the company’s assets to create profits.

Labor Cost - Labor hours worked

Raw Material - Material usage rate

Transportation Cost - No of Orders delivered.

Explanation:

An organizational structure in one in which certain activities are aligned to achieve the ultimate goal of the organization. Similar types of set of machines together to get particular output product.

You need a 35-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $340,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at an APR of
grin007 [14]

Answer: $338712.36

Explanation:

Given the following :

APR = 6.35% = 0.0635

Monthly payment = $1800

Cost of home = $340,000

Period (t) = 420

Monthly rate = 0.0635 / 12

Amount paid on loan = PV of monthly payment :

PMT(1 - (1 / (1 + r)^t)) / r

1800[(1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0635/12)^420)) / r]

1800[ (1 - (1 /9.1764488)) / r

1800[ 1 - 0.1089746] / (0.0635 / 12)

1800 [168.38275]

= $303088.95

Hence, amount yet to pay :

$340,000 - $303088.95 = $36911.05

Hence, balloon payment :

36911.05( 1 + r)^t

36911.05(1 + 0.0635/12)^420

36911.05(1 + 0.0052916)^420

36911.05(1.0052916)^420

36911.05 × 9.1764488

= $338712.36

Because human behavior is unreliable and influenced by factors uncontrolled by policy, which domain represents the greatest risk
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": User Domain.

Explanation:

User Domains are used in organizations with large amounts of servers connected to their network. As it is difficult to keep track of all the data being stored in every server, the domain controller regulates user domains by storing their login credentials but having to pass a privilege screening before accessing to the information of the server. However, that does not secure users will make optimal utilization of the firm's resources. Most parts of the data store will still be unchecked by controllers.
