Answer:
The market that characterizes the industry in which Forey competes is a market where competition is at its greatest possible level and it is a perfectly competitive market and the reason is because its returns decrease with the entering of new firms, also four-firm concentration ratio and Herfindahl Hirschman index are both quite small, so no one has significant market power to set or even influence the market price. In the short-run Forey Inc’s profit will decrease as more and more new firms enter the market and in the long-run Forey Inc will receive only normal (zero) economic profit.
Answer:
7/16
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the cost of the alternative forgone. It is also called the real cost. It is a concept in economics developed due to the fact that wants are unlimited but the resources available to meet the wants are limited. Hence a scale of preference would be drawn up for the wants in order of importance.
If the family can afford either 80 cans of beans or 35 frozen pizzas, the cost of a can of beans in terms of frozen pizza is 35/80 frozen pizza while the cost of a unit of frozen pizza in terms of beans is 80/35.
As such, the opportunity cost of one can of beans in terms of frozen pizza is 35/80 which is 7/16 in the lowest term
Answer:
Standard deviation =21.34
Explanation:
<em>Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks. Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company .</em>
<em>Standard deviation is the sum of the squared deviation of the individual return from the mean return under different scenarios</em>
Expected return (r) = (13.6% × 0.33 ) + (12.3% × 0.36) + (27%× 0.31)=17.3%
Outcome R (R- r )^2 P×(R- r )^2
Recession 13.6 13.6 4.5
Normal 12.3 24.9 8.9
Boom 27% 94.4 <u> 29.3
</u>
Total <u> 42.7
</u>
Standard deviation = √42.7 = 21.34
Standard deviation =21.34
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''
Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.
Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation
. In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000
