In economics, what is meant by "optimal decisions are made at the margin?" The concept of the margin was initially developed in

2012 by Professor Marginus; research is still being done on how it can be used for decision-making. The idea of the margin does not help compare trade-offs and is not relevant to decision-making. The idea of the margin is related to making decisions while thinking about the benefits and costs of small changes in behavior. The idea of the margin is that all economic decisions are made at the very fringes of society.

Answer:

The idea of the margin is related to making decisions while thinking about the benefits and costs of small changes in behavior.

Explanation:

Economic theory suggests that economic agents (firms, consumers and government) think on the sidelines. This means that decisions are made taking into consideration the benefits and costs of each choice. For example, for a firm to increase a unit of production (marginal unit) it will calculate the cost of production of that unit (marginal cost) and the profit that additional unit will generate (marginal benefit).

Rollins Corporation is constructing its marginal cost of capital (MCC) schedule. Its target capital structure is 30 percent debt
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%

Explanation:

The question is to determine the After Tax Cost of Debt for Rolling Stone.

This is carried out as follows

Step 1: When we decide to calculate the Yield to Maturity, it should be noted that Market Value = Par Value

Therefore,

Coupon Rate which is the same as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) = 12%

Step 2: Based on this derivative, therefore,

After Tax Cost of Debt = Yield TO Maturity Rate (1-Marginal Tax Rate)

= 12% (1-40%)

= 0.12 (1-0.4)

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%

If the domestic demand curve is Equal 20p Superscript negative 0.5​, the domestic supply curve is Equal 5p Superscript 0.5​, and
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$52

$ 1.33

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced export
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

Explanation:

Given domestic demand curve, S(p) = 20p⁻⁰°⁵

the domestic supply curve S(p)= 5p⁰°⁵

world price is ​$7.00

using  calculus to determine the changes in consumer​ surplus

by consumer surplus means in this case supply exceeds demand

we establish the equilibrium point where the supply and demand functions meet or are equal

solving 20p⁻⁰°⁵ = 5p⁰°⁵

     20/5 = p⁰°⁵/p⁻⁰°⁵

       4 = p⁰°⁵⁺⁰°⁵

      4= p = q which is the quantity produced

     

consumer surplus =  maximum price willing to pay - Actual price

                             = ∫⁴₀  dp dp - p* q

                               =  ∫⁴₀20p⁻⁰°⁵ dp- 7* 4

                              = 20∫⁴₀p⁻⁰°⁵ dp -28

                              = 20/0.5 p⁰°⁵- 28

                              = 40 *4⁰°⁵ - 28 =  $52

producer surplus = it is a measure of producer welfare. It is measured as the difference between what producers are willing and able to supply a good for and the price they actually receive

thus  producer  surplus = p* q - ∫⁴₀  d(s) dp

                                         = 7 * 4 - ∫⁴₀  5p⁰°⁵  dp

                                         = 28 - 5 ∫⁴₀   p⁰°⁵    dp

                                         = 28 -5 *2/3  p¹°⁵  

                                          = 28 -5 *2/3  4¹°⁵

                                          =$ 1.33

welfare from eliminating free trade

  • consumer price will increase
  • consumer surplus will decrease
  • import will decrease
  • reduced exports
  • portends gloom for the general outlook for the economy

Stores such as T. J. Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, and Marshalls buy manufacturers' seconds, overruns, returns, and off-season
Rama09 [41]

Answer: off price retailers

Explanation:  In simple words, it refers to the retailers that sells high quality products at relatively lower prices than market. The key to their business structure is the discount they offer as the majority of product they sell are of second hand quality or are off seasoned.

    They procure material directly from the suppliers in the form of scrap etc and then sells it to retailer at heavy discounts. Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct answer is off price retailers.

If the expected returns of two stocks are the same but the standard deviations of the returns differ, which security is to be pr
serious [3.7K]
What you’re talking about is Beta. Beta is the ratio of how much a stock changes relative to the market as a whole (NYSE, NASDAQ)

A Beta of 2.0 means it changes (up/down) twice as much as the general market (Dow, S & P, NAS), such as the twitchy, hyper reactive tech stocks ( FAANG’s and also boom-or-bust Big Oil). In other words, high Standard Deviations.

A Beta of 0.5 means it changes (up/down) half as much as the general market. Sleepy blue chips such as GE, AT&T or power utilities fall in that category. Low Standard Deviations

Most stocks by definition pretty much track the market (Beta 1.0) so there are a lot of those. Middling Standard Deviations

So…it is dictated by your risk tolerance.
