Answer: b. The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers.

Explanation:

Real reciept = (Dollar amount) ×( Ending-period CPI) ÷ (Beginning-period CPI)

Here, Receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $1,515.8 million

Receipt for Star wars in 1977 = $798.0 million

CPI in 2012 = 229.6

CPI in 1977 = 606

Now, Real receipt of Star wars in 2012 = $((798.0) × (229.6) ÷ 60.6)

=$ 3023.45 ≈ Twice  of receipt for Avengers in 2012.

<em>[Twice of receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $3031.6]</em>

<em />

Hence, the correct statement is b."The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers."

Answer:

<u>Inferior Good,</u> as their quantity demanded decreases as the income of the consumers increases.

C. Greater than 1

As to be a normal good, the income elasticity should be positive. Then, when betwene 0 and 1 this is a necessary good used for the consumer to met their normal living standard

While above 1, menas their expense is more than proportional than income thus, it increases as the income increases more than proportionally that represent a luxury good.

Explanation:

To solve for the income elasticity we divide the variation in quantity over the variation in price:

-37/25 = -1.48

Kelly decided to accept the risk and purchased a high growth stock. Her returns for the past five years are 32 percent, 24 perce
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

32.03%

Explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation is as follows;

As we know that

Average return = Total return ÷Total time period

= (32 + 24 - 48 + 12 - 9) ÷ 5

= 2.2%

Now

Return         (Return - Average Return)^2

32                  (32 - 2.2)^2 = 888.04

24                 (24 - 2.2)^2 = 475.24

-48                (- 48 - 2.2)^2  = 2520.04

12                  (12 - 2.2)^2 = 96.04

-9                   (-9 - 2.2)^2 = 125.44

Total =                 4104.8%

Now

Standard deviation is

= [Total (Return - Average Return)^2 ÷ (Time period- 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ (5 - 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ 4]^(1 ÷ 2)

= 32.03%

Katherine mailed Paul an offer with definite and certain terms and that was legal in all respects stating that it was good for10
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is : Yes, the offer was revoked by Katherine.

Explanation:

Even if Paul replied Katherine with the acceptance to the first offer, he used a different means of communication to do that -<em>e-mail v. mail</em>. In addition, Katherine sent the revoke by mail -<em>as in the initial offer</em>- before Paul sent his e-mail. So, there is enough proof on Katherine's end that she didn't want to proceed with the offer before Paul confirmed his agreement on the terms. In that sense, Katherine did revoke the initial order.

You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks (If one of the stocks has a beta of 0.66 and the total
Alja [10]

Answer:

The beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34

Explanation:

The beta of the portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta for the portfolio, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio

As the portfolio is equally as risky as the market, the portfolio beta is assumed to be the same as that of the market and the beta is 1.

The beta is the measure of systematic risk and a risk free asset does not have risk and has a beta of 0.

To calculate the Beta of stock B in the portfolio, we simply put the available values in the formula for the portfolio beta,

1 = 1/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 0.66 + 1/3 * Beta of B

1 = 0 + 0.22 + 1/3 * Beta of B

1 - 0.22 = 1/3 * Beta of B

0.78 * 3 = 1 * Beta of B

2.34 = Beta of B

Thus, the beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34

A new car may be purchased with either a gasoline or a diesel engine The diesel engine gets 32 mpg The gas engine gets 23 mpg Ga
Drupady [299]

Answer:

<em>We must drive 8,553 miles to pay off the extra cost of the diesel engine</em>

Explanation:

Let's use simple logic and put the numbers in it to solve this problem. Each gallon of diesel fuel gives us 32 miles and each gallon of gasoline gives us 23 miles. On the other side, each gallon of diesel costs $3.54. That means to get 32 miles we have to spend $3.54, thus each mile costs $3.54/32=$0.11 when using diesel.

Each gallon of gasoline costs $3.69, it means each mile costs $3.69/23=$0.16 when using gasoline. The difference

$0.16-$0.11=$0.05 are the savings per mile when using diesel instead of gasoline. Since the diesel engine is $427.65 more expensive than the gasoline engine, we must drive $427,65/0.05=8,553 miles to pay off the extra cost of the diesel engine.
