Answer:

D. limits on the government's role in the economy.

Explanation:

Free market enterprise refers to the economic model where demand and supply forces determine the products and services in the market and their prices. In this model, sellers have the freedom to select what business they want to start. Buyers have the option of picking their preferred products or services from many competing suppliers.

In a free market enterprise like the USA economy, the government's role is limited to regulation. The government may get involved in the provision of essential services and public goods. To a large extent, the free market economy is in the profit-motivated, private sector.

Explanation:

The relevant cash flows for decision to accept or reject the special order are

I. the incremental contribution from of producing 5,350 units

2. The incremental fixed cost- 45,374

Variable production cost per unit = total variable cost / units

= (10,945 + 29651 + 21094)/19,900

=$3.1

Variable cost per unit of sale = $3.1 + $0.35 = $3.45

a) Incremental Analysis

Change in Net Income: $

sineoko [7]

The correct answer should be Line of sight.

What then is your Line of sight?

Your line of sight is the noticeable path of travel from your vehicle to your destination area. This line can be obstructed by a curve, a hill, high-forest wooded zones, large truck or other obstruction that prevents drivers from seeing the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if you cannot see around an obstruction, you should slow down and be willing to adjust your position until you can reestablish a clear line of sight to your path of travel and targeting area.

What happens to the price of a three-year annual coupon paying bond with an 8% coupon when interest rates change from 8% to 6.85

ruslelena [56]

Face Value of bond = $1000

Annual Coupon Payment = $1000*8%

= $80

No of years to maturity(n) = 3 years

When the Market Interest rate was 8%, the Price of the bond will be the same as the Par value which is $1000 because when the Coupon rate and Market Interest rate are the same the Bond sells at par Value.

So, At an 8% Interest rate price is $1000

- Interest rate(YTM) changed to 8.86%

Calculating the Price of Bond:-

Price = \frac{CouponPayment}{(1+YTM)^{1}}+\frac{CouponPayment}{(1+YTM)^{2}}+...+\frac{CouponPayment}{(1+YTM)^{n}}+\frac{FaceValue}{(1+YTM)^{n}}

Price = \frac{80}{(1+0.0886)^{1}}+\frac{80}{(1+0.0886)^{2}}+\frac{80}{(1+0.0886)^{3}}+\frac{1000}{(1+0.0886)^{3}}

Price =$203.008 + $775.166

Price = $978.17

So, when the Interest rate changed to 8.86% the price falls to $978.17

Change in Price due to increase in Interest rate = $978.17 - $1000

= -$21.83

Hence, the price decreased by $21.83

Consider a portfolio consisting of only Duke Energy and Microsoft. The percentage of your investment (portfolio weight) that you

Leokris [45]

Answer:

(2) 4%

Explanation:

The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;

Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2

Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%

Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.
