Answer:
b. 3.70 percent
Explanation:
Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities, is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.
Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)
Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%
Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%
Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%
Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;
= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%
= 3.7%
Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.
Answer:
A) True
Explanation:
Monumental can discharge the contract by frustration. In order for a contract to be discharged by frustration, four conditions have to occur:
- An unforeseeable event must occur: In this case the zoning changes were unforeseeable.
-
No party is at fault: the zoning board made the changes to the zoning of the land.
- Performance is impossible: there is no reason why an office building should be built in a residential only area.
- The result is radically different than expected: neither Monumental or Champion Builders expected a zoning change to occur.
Answer:
Year 1, Year 2 purchasing power = 8 , 9 (respectively). As price level fall, value of money<u> Increases </u>
Explanation:
Year one purchasing power = Money ($) / Price per basket = 72 / 9 = 8
Year two purchasing power = Money ($) / Price per basket = 72 / 8 = 9
This implies that, as price level falls (from 9 to 8 here) ,the value of money ie purchasing power increases (from 8 to 9)
Answer:
In marketing, price discrimination refers to selling the same product to different buyers at different prices depending on each buyer's purchasing power or preferences which result in them being able and willing to pay different prices. E.g. a movie theater that charges different prices depending on the age of the movie goers.
In this case, the fact that a factory is located far away from your house might result in a higher price due to delivery costs, but that doesn't meant that it is using price discrimination. E.g. I just purchased a new refrigerator online and I had to pay a delivery fee that increased its price because the seller is from another state. I purchased the refrigerator from that retailer because it lower prices including delivery costs, but someone that purchased it from the same city will probably pay even less than me. But it is just logistics, since I live far away I have to wait 3 days for delivery and pay for it.
