Answer:
Explanation:
Q(8) =15 - 0.5 x 10 - 0.8 x 8 = 15-5-6.4=3.6
Q(10) =15 - 0.5 x 10 - 0.8 x 10 =15-5-8= 2
Cross Elasticity = -0.2 / 0.8 = -0.4
Answer:
a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Explanation:
If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.
However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.
In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
<em>Geometric average return</em>
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923
× 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17
%
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Answer:
The correct answer would be, 10 Persons.
Explanation:
If there are 1000 people in the Big Bucks lottery and there is a 1 percent chance of winning 10 dollars prize if all 1000 people buy the lottery ticket of 10 dollars. If every person buys 10 dollar lottery ticket, then the chances of winning people would be calculated as follows:
Total number of People = 1000
Chances of winning the lottery = 1%
So How many people would win 10 dollar lottery = 1000 * 1%
= 1000 * 0.01
= 10 People.
So there are chances that 10 out of 1000 people will win the lottery.
Answer:
B) False
Explanation:
Trade usually benefits all the nations involved. We can use an extreme example, Chinese-American trade. America has a huge trade deficit with China, but still the whole country benefits from it. America lost some manufacturing jobs, but they have been replaced by higher paying service related jobs (currently service related jobs account for more than 70% of the total jobs in America).
And more important, American citizens are able to buy very good and cheap products from China and other places. Imagine if we had to pay for only domestic products, we would spend a much larger portion of our income in them.
