Answer:

c. The response of buyers and sellers to a change in the price of bananas is strong.

Explanation:

At more elastic the demand (buyers) and supply ( sellers) curve are, greater the effect on the equilibrium quantity. As the taxes is negative for both parties:

increase sales price for the buyer (demand) the demand curve will shift down at higher elasticity

If the supply is inelastic the supplier will take the hit of the tax and but if it is elastic as well both will "fight" to move the effect to the other making the quantity decrease heavily

A beneficiary acquired stock from a decedent. The stock's fair market value at the date of the decedent's death was $500,000. Th
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Beneficiary recognized gain is $510000.

Explanation:

The amount paid by the decedent for the stock = $280000

The market value of the stock at the time of death = $500000

The selling price or the amount received by the beneficiary by the sell of stock = $510000

Since the recognized gain is calculated by subtracting the amount paid by the person to buy the stock from the amount that he receives from the sale of stock. But in this case, the beneficiary pays zero for the stock but gets all the money after selling.

Beneficiary recognized gain = amount received from the sell – the amount paid by the beneficiary.

= $510000 – 0

= $510000

An investor will choose between Asset Q with an expected return of 6.5% and a standard deviation of 5.5%, Asset U with an expect
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The investor will prefer asset U. So the correct answer is option D

Explanation:

To choose between these stocks, we will calculate the coefficient of variation (CV) which is used to assess the risk per unit of expected return. As most people are risk averse, we assume that the investor is risk averse. We will calculate the CV for all three investments and the stock having lowest CV will be selected.

<u>Coefficient of Variation (CV)</u>

Coefficient of Variation =  standard deviation / expected return

<u />

Asset Q = 5.5% / 6.5% = 0.846

Asset U = 5.5% / 8.8% = 0.625

Asset B = 6.5% / 8.8% = 0.738

Thus, asset U has the lowest CV and the investor =, being a risk averse, will prefer asset U.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The percentage profit if you purchase the stock and it rises to $30 a share

= $166.67

Explanation:

Titanic stock is $20 a share. You have $40,000 of your own funds to invest.

∴ $4,000.00/$20 = 200.00 shares were bought with $4,000.00

With margin of 50 percent and maintenance margin of 30 percent,

50% + 20% = 80%

∴  New Cost of Stock ($30.00) ÷ $4,000.00)

= $133.33 X 0.80

= $166.67
