Answer and Explanation:
Efficiency and equality:
We have given the information that there are two areas one has many small school and another has few large schools. The area which has many small schools faces a large competition as there are large numbers of school in that area. In order to maintain equality and efficiency the voucher system should announced in the area which has few large schools. Introducing the voucher system in this few large school region help to maintain equality as there is less competition. Whereas the introduction of the voucher system in an area which has many large schools increases the inequality as there is high competition and this inequality also stimulated by the migration factor. So, these are the effects of voucher system in different areas.
Answer with its Explanation:
On February 14, the repairment of transmission is the repair and maintenance cost and hence it must be accounted for as an expense.
The Double entry would be:
Dr Repairs and Maintenance Expense $2,300
Cr Cash $2,300
On the same date, the installation of GPS system is an addition of an asset in the delivery truck hence it must be capitalized.
The Double entry would be:
Dr Delivery Van $450
Cr Cash $450

Therefore, Option (A) is correct.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Answer:
D. The marginal cost of light is zero, and by convention zero-priced goods and services are excluded from GDP
Explanation:
Only things that have a monetary cost are included in GDP. Things that do not cost "anything" in monetary terms are not included, and this is a major shortcoming of GDP.
From an ecological economics standpoint, things like sunlight, air, and water are often not valued and included in GDP. This is the same case as in the question, because the marginal cost of light is zero, then, it is not included in GDP.
