Answer:
D. A particular action may have different consequences in different situations.
Explanation:
The Contingency anchor theory is of the opinion that different actions and decisions would have different consequences when applied in different situations. So, for organizations seeking solutions to their problems they need to take into account the peculiarities of the problems and apply solutions that are applicable to them.
So the proponents of organizational behavior under the contingency anchor, believe that there is no universal solution to every problem. Organizations must be willing to adapt to the different circumstances that arise as a result of the complexities in the work setting.
Answer: See attachment
Explanation:
The solution to the question has been attached. Note that the gross income in the calculation was calculated as:
Salary = $38000
Add: Alimony received = $24000
Add: Rental receipt = $50000
Add: Disability insurance = $1200
Add: Interest Income from corporate bonds = $2200
Interest Income from municipal bonds = 0
Gross income = $105800
Also, tax refund was gotten as:
= 9184 - 685 - 10000 = -1501.

Answer:
1.15
Explanation:
If investment is made in equal proportions, it means that;
weight in risk free ; wRF = 33.33% or 0.3333
Let the stocks be A and B
weight in stock A ; wA = 33.33% or 0.3333
weight in stock B; wB = 33.33% or 0.3333
Beta of A; bA = 1.85
Let the beta of the other stock be represented by "bB"
Beta of risk free; bRF = 0
Beta of portfolio = 1 since it is mentioned that "the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market "
The weight of portfolio is equal to the sum of the weighted average beta of the three assets. The formula is as follows;
wP = wAbA + wBbB + wRF bRF
1 = (0.3333 * 1.85) + (0.3333*bB) + (0.3333 *0)
1 = 0.6166 +0.3333bB + 0
1 - 0.6166 = 0.3333bB
0.3834 = 0.3333bB
Next, divide both sides by 0.3333 to solve for bB;
bB = 0.3834/0.3333
w=bB = 1.15
Therefore, the beta for the other stock would be 1.15
Answer:
If an amount is zero. Marie has income of $193,200 and $193,200 basis in her 400 shares of stock and Ethan has income of $0 and $533,240 basis in his 1600 shares of stock.
Explanation:
Ethan has no income and Ethan contributed the following assets and basis value of such assets will be basis for 1600 shares of stock:
Basis of Ethan:
Note Receivable = 25,000
land = 50,000
Inventory = 458,240
Total basis = 25,000 + 50,000 + 458,240 = $533,240
We can now see Ethan has a total basis of $533,240
Answer: The corrects answers are: "a. If both firms are localized in position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line), neither firm has incentives to deviate and move to a different position.", "c. If Firm localize at the same point along the line, they will each sell to 50% of the consumers." and "d. If Firm 1 is located at position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line) and firm 2 is located somewhere else, then both firms have incentives to deviate and change their position along the line.".
Explanation: According to the Hotelling model of the competition between two firms:
a. If both firms are localized in position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line), neither firm has incentives to deviate and move to a different position. - If this were the case, it would be indifferent for customers to go to either.
c. If Firm localize at the same point along the line, they will each sell to 50% of the consumers. - This happens because each consumer will go to the nearest one.
d. If Firm 1 is located at position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line) and firm 2 is located somewhere else, then both firms have incentives to deviate and change their position along the line. - This happens because the strategy chosen is not suitable for either company.
