Answer:

Option (B) decreases by 5 percent

Explanation:

When the nominal wage rate is $10 and the CPI is 200

The real wage rate

= [Nominal wage rate ÷ CPI in 2017 ] × 100

= [ $10 ÷ 210 ] × 100

= $4.76

Now,

The change in the real wage rate between 2016 and 2017

= [ ( 4.76 - $5.00 ) ÷ $5.00 ] × 100

= - 0.048 ≈ -0.05 or - 5 percent

here, negative sign means decrease

Hence,

Option (B) decreases by 5 percent

Answer: $3,300,000

Explanation:

Accounting formula:

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

Total equity and liabilities on March 31 is:

= Beginning balance - decrease in liabilities + Increase in Equity

= 5,000,000 - 100,000 + 400,000

= $5,300,000

Assets therefore has to be $5,300,000 on the same date.

Assets = New cash balance + Other assets

5,300,000 = (2,200,000 - 200,000) + Other assets

Other assets = 5,300,000 - 2,000,000

= $3,300,000

A portfolio has three stocks 110 shares of Yahoo (YHOO), 210 Shares of General Motors(GM), and 70 shares of Standard and Poorʹs
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Value of Yahoo:

= Shares × Price

= 110 shares × $20

= $2,200

Value of General Motors(GM):

= Shares × Price

= 210 shares × $20

= $4,200

Value of Standard and Poorʹs Index Fund (SPY):

= Shares × Price

= 70 shares × $130

= $9,100

Total value = Value of Yahoo + Value of GM + Value of SPY

                   = $2,200 + $4,200 + $9,100

                   = $15,500

Therefore,

Portfolio weight of YHOO:

= Value of YAHOO ÷ Total value

= $2,200 ÷  $15,500

= 0.1419 or 14.19%

Portfolio weight of GM:

= Value of GM ÷ Total value

= $4,200 ÷  $15,500

= 0.2709 or 27.09%

Therefore, the portfolio weight of YHOO and GM are 14.2% (approx) and 27.1% (approx), respectively.
