Basile [38]

Answer:

D. Sole proprietorship.

Explanation:

We know it's definitely is a sole proprietorship because of 'unlimited personal liability' which is a key characteristic.

Selma's business is not a joint venture because she is the only person who invested and runs the business whereas a joint venture is created by two or more entities or 'shared ownership'

Nor is it a corporation for this is an 'organization' owned and manned by many people but is regarded as a single entity. Neither is her business an s corporation because that just the same as a corporation but just with different tax regulations.

Your portfolio consists of $50,000 invested in Stock X and $50,000 invested in Stock Y. Both stocks have return of 15%, betas of

NARA [144]

Answer:

B) Your portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6, and its expected return is 15%

Explanation:

Since the correlation coefficient between both stocks X and Y is zero, when one stock has an expected return a little higher than 15%, the other stock will have an expected return a little lower than 15%, so both variations basically cancel out each other. So the average expected return for both X and Y will be 15%.

In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm should shut down whenever minimum average variable cost exceeds price minimum ave

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

A. minimum average variable cost exceeds price.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Hence, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market

In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm should shut down whenever minimum average variable cost exceeds price.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.
