Answer:
<em>When firms exit a market, the short-run market supply curve shifts left, causing individual firms’ profits to increase.</em>
Explanation:
The process of <em>free entry and exit of firms</em> is in a sequence as explained under-
- If there is higher demand in the market of the product as compared to its supply, then each firm in the market will receive higher price for its product.
- This will increase the prices of the product, enabling higher profits for each firm. This will make the industry attractive, enabling the introduction of newer firms in the market.
- When the new firms enter the industry, the prices of the product in the market will drop due to higher competition, now present currently. This will lead to lowering of profits for the firms in the industry.
- This will make the industry non-attractive and thereby the less competitive and less effective firms will exit the market in the short run.
- This exit of firms from the industry, will lead to higher prices again due to less supply of product in the market as compared to its demand. Hence, the profits of the firms present in the industry will increase.
Thus, it can be concluded that <em>when firms exit a market, the short-run market supply curve shifts left, causing individual firms’ profits to increase.</em>
Answer:
SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent
Explanation:
To calculate the standard deviation of the investment, we must first calculate the expected or mean return of the investment. The expected or mean return can be calculated as follows,
r = pA * rA + pB * rB + ... + pN * rN
Where,
- pA, pB, ... represents the probability of state occurrence
- rA, rB, ... represents return A, return B and so on under each state
r = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.4 * 0.12 + 0.2 * 0.05 + 0.2 * -0.05
r = 0.08 or 8%
The formula to calculate the standard deviation of a stock/investment is as follows,
SD = √pA * (rA - r)² + pB * (rB - r)² + ... + pN * (rN - r)²
SD = √0.2 * (0.16 - 0.08)² + 0.4 * (0.12 - 0.08)² + 0.2 * (0.05 - 0.08)² + 0.2 * (-0.05 - 0.08)²
SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent
Short term goals are anywhere from one week, to less then one year to complete. Long term goals are something that takes you a year or more to complete
Answer: $150,000
Explanation:
The Dividend Received Deduction is a Federal tax deduction that applies when a related company pays dividends to another company that owns part of it.
The relevant provision is that when a company owns more than 80% of the company receiving the Dividend, the Dividend Received Deduction amounts to 100% of dividends received.
Cooper Corporation may therefore claim a deduction of $150,000 being the total amount as they own 85% of Broze Corporation Stock.
