Answer:
C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Purchasing Cost of Stock ABC purchased = $40 per share
Purchasing Cost of Stock DEF purchased = $35 per share
Time = 6 months
Selling price of share of ABC = $42 per share
Selling price of DEF share = $36
Dividend paid to the DEF = $0.5 each quarter i.e $0.5 twice in 6 months
Thus,
Total dividend paid to DEF = $0.5 × 2
= $1
Now,
For ABC
Total return = Selling price - Purchasing Cost
= $42 - $40
= $2 per share
thus,
Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%
= [ $2 ÷ $40 ] × 100%
= 5%
For DEF
Total return = Selling price + Dividend received - Purchasing Cost
= $36 + $1 - $35
= $2 per share
thus,
Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%
= [ $2 ÷ $35 ] × 100%
= 5.7%
Hence,
option C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%.
The first step in making a choice is to define the issue at hand. When making judgments, related costs and benefits should be evaluated. When making judgments, extraneous costs and advantages should be overlooked.

When an economist says that "Kevin's income elasticity of red wine is 6" he means that if Kevin's income increases by 10%, the quantity of red wine demanded by Kevin rises by 60%. So, red wine is income elastic. Since the income elasticity is greater than 1, red wine is a luxury good for Kevin.
Income elasticity measures the change in the quantity of goods demanded relative to a change in income.
If an increase in income results in a decrease in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is an inferior or cheap good. The income elasticity of a cheap good is negative.
If the demand for a good rises with an increase in income, then that good is a normal good. The income elasticity of normal goods is greater than zero.
If an increase in income results in a greater increase in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is a luxury good. The income elasticity of a luxury good is greater than 1.
Answer:
C) Jamie is only entitled to the leave to take care of his daughter.
Explanation:
The Family and Medical Leave of 1993 applies to all public entities, schools, and businesses with 50 or more employees. In this case, Coffee-Ha-Ha is included since it has 61 employees (including Jamie).
This law provides employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for:
- Birth and care of the newborn child
.
- Placing a child for adoption or foster care.
- Take care of family member (spouse, <u>child</u>, or parent) with a serious health condition
- Take medical leave when unable to work due to a serious health condition.
Jamie cannot take a leave for taking care of his mother in law, but he can take an unpaid leave for taking care of his daughter.
