Answer:

Weight of Golden Seas in the portfolio = 1.40%

Weight of Jacobs and Jacobs in the portfolio = 2.42%

Weight of MAG in the portfolio = 88.94%

Weight of PDJB in the portfolio = 7.24%

Explanation:

This can be done as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of value of each stock

Value of stock can be calculated using the following formula:

Value of a stock = Price per share * Number of shares outstanding................ (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Value of Golden Seas = $14 * 1.43 millions = $20.02 millions

Values of Jacobs and Jacobs = $24 * 1.44 millions = $34.56 millions

Value of MAG = $43 * 29.52 millions = $1,269.36 millions

Values of PDJB = $9 * 11.48 millions = $103.32 millions

Step 2: Calculation of value of the portfolio

This can be obtained by adding the values of all the stocks in step 1 as follows:

Value of the portfolio = Value of Golden Seas + Values of Jacobs and Jacobs + Value of MAG + Values of PDJB = $20.02 millions + $34.56 millions + $1,269.36 millions + $103.32 millions = $1,427.26 millions

Step 3: Calculation of weight of each stock in the portfolio

The weight of each stock in the portfolio is obtained as the values of each stock divided by the value of the portfolio. This can be calculated as follows:

Weight of Golden Seas in the portfolio = $20.02 millions / $1,427.26 millions = 0.0140, or 1.40%

Weight of Jacobs and Jacobs in the portfolio = $34.56 millions / $1,427.26 millions = 0.0242, or 2.42%

Weight of MAG in the portfolio = $1,269.36 millions / $1,427.26 millions = 0.8894, or 88.94%

Weight of PDJB in the portfolio = $103.32 millions / $1,427.26 millions = 0.0724, or 7.24%

never [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is "option B".

Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

Explanation:

The demand for labor among cotton-producing Texas will firms in Texas will increase. This will happen because of the increase in world price leads to increment in wages.

The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will decrease. This is because cotton is an input. The increase in price of cotton increases the cost which reduces the profits which leads to less hiring of workers.

The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as frictional unemployment.

Government measures to reduce frictional unemployment is:

Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

The option C is not correct, because, another measure that the government uses is to withdraw benefits to short-term unemployed. There would be a greater incentive for workers to find work quickly.

Rothschild index = 0.6

Elasticity of demand for total market = - 0.9

Annual sale = $1,450,000

Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product :

Using the Rothschild demand Elasticity relation:

Rothschild index = (Elasticity of demand for total market / Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product

0.6 = - 0.9 / Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product

Elasticity of demand for a representative retailer's product = - 0.9 / 0.6

= - 1.5
