Answer: Starbucks Coffee is a 'normal good', while Beanlightened coffee is an 'inferior good'.
Andrew's demand for Starbucks coffee changed as a result of an increase in his 'income'
Explanation:
A normal good is a good that sees it's demand rise as income or wages rise. Essentially if you're making more money, you buy more of such goods. Andrew is now making more money so he buys more of Starbucks coffee.
An inferior good on the other hand is one that sees it's demand drop as wages or income rises. You usually buy less of it the more money you make. Take no brand cornflakes for instance, as one makes more money they tend to buy less of it and more of branded cornflakes. Beanlightened coffee is therefore an inferior good.
Income is compensation you get for providing a service. In this instance Andrew receives $75000 a year for being a programmer.
Answer:
Expected return = 21.9
%
Explanation:
<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta</em>.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate (long-term i.e 10 year treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market., Ke- Return on equity (cost of equity)
This model can be used to work out the cost of equity as follows:
Ke= Rf + β (Rm-Rf)
Rf- 5%, β= 1.3, Rm- 18, E(r)- ?
Ke = 5% + 1.3×(18-5)%=21.9
%
Ke = 21.9
%
Expected return = 21.9
%
Answer: $446
Explanation:
Antoine will receive the same basis in the stock that was in the property.
The Corporation however, assumed $78 of the liability of the property transferred which would reduce Antoine's basis in that property
Antoine's basis = Property base - Liability assumed by corporation
= 524 - 78
= $446
A natural monopoly, such as a local electricity provider, is the result of long run average total costs declining continuously as output increases. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "3". The initial cost of power generation and power distribution cost is high. Once the generation starts and the number of consumer increases, the average cost starts declining.
