Answer:
Going by the Ease of Doing Business ranking of 2020, prepared by the World Bank, which is perhaps the most reliable ranking to assess business risk in different countries.
Russia has a higher score in the ranking, which means that doing business is less risky there. Poland has particularly high risks in the starting a business category, which means that the mere act of starting the business in Poland might be a risky decision.
Russia has a high risk in trading accross borders, probably because the country is subject to several international sanctions.
If we go only by score, Russia has a higher score, so, as the CEO, you should probably invest there. However, you should avoid investing in Russian companies that try to export abroad, because of the high risks associated with trade in that country.
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Answer:
The correct option is D) The design of the study suffers from selection bias.
Explanation:
In research, Selection Bias occurs when the researcher decides who the respondents are or those who are being evaluated or studied.
Every research ought to be designed in such a way that the respondents are selected at random.
In the information provided, the respondents were selected from a group of people who on a balance of probability were already inclined to decline because it was a list of dissatisfied customers. The chances of them declining to respond or responding with a negative were higher than the chances of them indicating that they would buy and this defeats the purpose of the research. The research ought to have also included a sample of respondents who didn't have the product, who had enjoyed the services of the company and were content, those who didn't even know what the product did until they got the survey.
That way holistic information can be obtained from the research about how different sets of people will react and not just those who are already dissatisfied with the company's product(s).
Some of the ways to avoid selection bias in research are:
- To employ the use of random techniques selecting sample sets from populations.
- To check that the traits or characteristics of the larger population are well represented in the samples selected

Answer: $2650
Explanation:
Using the specific identification method, its ending inventory (after the December 24 sale) will be:
Units for sale = 5 units
Units sold = 1
It should be noted that the unit that was sold was the one that was bought on July 9th.
Ending units will now be:
= $800 + ($2 × $900) + $950 - $900
= $800 + $1800 + $950 - $900
= $3550 - $900
= $2650
