Answer:

A.) Since the United States has an aging population and thus an expected decline in working population in the future, therefore, increasing the output per worker seems more relevant in the United states than increasing the proportion of working population. Because Mexico on the other hand boasts a youthful population, Mexico can increase its standard of living by either increasing its output per worker or by increasing the proportion of the population that works.

Answer:

A. Project A

B. Project A has lowest Standard Deviation

C. Project D

Explanation:

The higher the range, the more risky the project is. Based on the table, project A has the smallest range, and therefore is the least risky based on range.

The standard deviation is not scale-free, i.e. it is not adjusted for the level of returns. Hence, a project that has the same distribution of returns, but a higher average return, will have a higher standard deviation. But the project is not any more risky. Hence, the standard deviation might not be an appropriate measure of risk.

The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is calculated as follows:

CV = Standard deviation / expected return

Applying this formula, the coefficient of variation for each project is:

Project A: 2.9% / 12.0% = 0.242

Project B: 3.2% / 12.5% = 0.256

Project C: 3.5% / 13.0% = 0.269

Project D: 3.0% / 12.8% = 0.23 4

Based on the coefficient of variation, project D has the lowest coefficient. It means that the project has the lowest risk per unit of return generated, and thus is the best project and should be chosen.

How will goods or services be produced? is the basic basic economic question does this decision answer in a free market economy.

<h3>What is a Market economy?</h3>

In a market economy, firms and individuals interact to determine how much goods and services should cost and how to best allocate scarce resources. This word often refers to an economy that is more market oriented overall, however there may be some government intervention or central planning.

Classical economists like Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Jean-Baptiste Say created the theoretical framework for market economies. These traditional liberal proponents of the free market thought that the "invisible hand" of the profit motive and market incentives typically led economic decisions in directions that were more productive and efficient than government economic planning.

kondor19780726 [428]

The net income of the firm is $1,200

<h3>What is net income?</h3>

Net income refers to the amount an individual or business makes after deducting costs, allowances and taxes.

Net profit is also amount of money a business earns after deducting all operating, interest, and tax expenses over a given period of time.

First, we know that:

Return on equity

= Net income / Total equity

Fixing the given values, we'll have

20% = Net income / $6,000

Net income = $6,000 * 20%

Net income = $1,200

Therefore, net income of the firm is $1,200

kotegsom [21]

The best answer is D. The sector that will have a very limited influence in a pure market economy is the government. A pure market economy is an economic system that solely relies on the markets to distribute the resources. A theoretical pure market economy has no involvement of the government, only the markets decides on everything.
