Which of the following survey response methods is the most difficult for researchers to code for evaluation:

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

No options are given, but the most commonly used survey response methods are:

Multiple choice questions = generally easy to code
Rating scale questions = also easy to code, since response scales have a finite number of choices, e.g. 2 true/false, 3 agree/disagree/undecided, 5 very bad/bad/fair/good/excellent
Matrix questions. = are a little bit more complex since they involve several rating scale questions, but it is not something difficult either
Dropdown questions. = similar to multiple choice questions
Open-ended questions. = this are hard to code since each subject can respond different things, e.g. the thing that I like the most about this project is bla, bla, bla. There are no pre-set answers given to the subjects. THIS TYPE IS THE MOST DIFFICULT TO CODE.
Demographic questions = similar to multiple choice
Ranking questions = similar to scaled questions

"The time horizon to be used when constructing a portfolio to pay for college expenses for a person who is expected to start col

Karolina [17]

Answer:

15 years

Explanation:

If you are constructing a portfolio to cover the education expenses of your child and you expect that he/she graduates from college in 15 years, then the time horizon of your portfolio should be 15 years since it should cover all the expenses until your child graduates. If you start a little earlier and expect your child to graduate in 20 years, the time horizon will be 20 years, or if you start a little later and expect your child to graduate in 10 year, then the time horizon is 10 years.

A bond has a 7.5% annual coupon rate with 4 years to maturity and pays annual coupon. par value is $1000

AveGali [126]

Answer:

1.1 Inflow (Coupon payment ) = $1000 * 7.5% = $75

Year Inflows Pvf at 5% Present value

1 75 0.952381 71.43

2 75 0.907029 68.03

3 75 0.863838 64.79

4 75 0.822702 61.70

4 1000 0.822702 822.70

Total 1,088.65

Price of Bond, when yield to maturity is 5% = $1088.65

1.2 Year Inflows Pvf at 5.2% Present value

1 75 0.95057 71.29

2 75 0.9035839 67.77

3 75 0.85892 64.42

4 75 0.816464 61.23

4 1000 0.816464 816.46

Total 1,081.18

Price of Bond, when yield to maturity is 5.2% =$1081.18

1.3 Change in price of Bond = (Decrease in price of bond / price of bond ) * 100

= $7.47 / 1088.65 *100

= 0.69%

Change in price of Bond when yield increases by 0.2%( i.e Decrease in price of bond)

= $1088.65 - $ 1081.18

= $7.47

1.4 Year Inflows Pvf at 5% P. value Year*P. value

1 75 0.9523809 71.43 71.43

2 75 0.907029 68.03 136.05

3 75 0.863838 64.79 194.36

4 75 0.822702 61.70 246.81

4 1000 0.822702 822.70 3,290.81

Total 1,088.65 3,939.47

Modified duration = Bond duration / ( 1+YTM)

= 3.6187 / ( 1+0.05)

= 3.446

Bond Duration = Sum of (PV of inflows) / Sum of (Year*PV of inflows)

= $3,939.47 / $1088.65

= $3.6187

1.5 % Change in price of bond = (-1 * Modified duration * % change in YTM in term of basis point)

= ( -1 * 3.446 * 0.2)

= -0.69 %

Columbia Products produced and sold 1,400 units of the companyâ€™s only product in March. You have collected the following infor

s344n2d4d5 [400]

The computation of the following costs by Columbia Products is as follows:

a. Variable manufacturing cost per unit is $64.

b. Full cost per unit is $96, including manufacturing and marketing and administrative costs.

c. The variable cost per unit is $68.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Production and sales units in March = 1,400 units

Sales price (per unit) = $129

<h3>Manufacturing costs: </h3>

Fixed overhead (for the month) = $16,800

Direct labor (per unit) = $7

Direct materials (per unit) 31

Variable overhead (per unit) 26

Variable manufacturing cost $64

The Fixed cost per unit = $12 ($16,800/1,400)

The total manufacturing cost per unit = $76 ($64 + $12)

<h3>Marketing and administrative costs: </h3>

Fixed costs (for the month) = $22,400

Variable costs (per unit) = $4

Fixed costs per unit = $16 ($22,400/1,400)

The total marketing and administrative costs per unit = $20 ($4 + $16)

Full cost per unit = $96 ($76 + $20)

Variable cost per unit = $68 ($64 + $4)

The slope of the budget line is: negative, since to purchase more of one good means giving up some of the other good. zero, sinc

34kurt

Answer:

Negative, since to purchase more of one good means giving up some of the other good.

Explanation:

A budget line illustrates the number of goods, consumers are able to buy with lower income. Thus the price of goods and customers income to be spent on goods determine the budget line.

The slope of the budget line measures the opportunity cost of consuming Commodity A forgetting Commodity B. In order to get more of Commodity A, the consumer will have reduce the consumption of Commodity B Forefeiting the opportunity to consume Commodity B is the true opportunity cost of Commodity A and this measured by the slope of the budget line.

The slope of the budget line shows the amount of a commodityB the consumer must forfeit to purchase one more unit of a commodity A and the slope is usually Negative.
