Answer:
C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market.
Explanation:
Demand is perfectly elastic if the coefficient of elasticity is infinite. It means thay consumers would only buy at one price. Once that price changes, demand falls to zero.
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
If a seller decides to increase the price of his good in a perfect competition, demand falls to zero and reducing price woild lead to losses.

The following is part of the computer output from a regression of monthly returns on Waterworks stock against the S&P 500 index. A hedge fund manager believes that Waterworks is underpriced, with an alpha of 2% over the coming month.
Beta = 0.75
R-square = 0.65
Standard Deviation of Residuals = 0.06 (i.e., 6% monthly)
Assuming that monthly returns are approximately normally distributed, what is theprobability that this market-neutral strategy will lose money over the next month?
Assume the risk-free rate is .5% per month.
Answer:
0.33853
Explanation:
Given that, the expected rate of return of the market-neutral position is equal to the risk-free rate plus the alpha:
0.5%+ 2.0% = 2.5%
Hence, since we assume that monthly returns are approximately normally distributed.
The z-value for a rate of return of zero is
−2.5%/6.0% = −0.4167
Therefore, the probability of a negative return is N(−0.4167) = 0.33853
Answer:
7.98%
Explanation:
The Rate of Return (ROR) is the gain or loss of an investment over a period of time compared to the initial cost
Starting year 2, Annual O&M cost in year N = Annual O&M cost in year (N - 1) + $750
Annual net benefit = Annual revenue - Annual O&M cost
In year 10, Annual revenue ($) = 72,000 + 35,000 salvage value = 107,000
Rate of Return (ROR) of Annual net benefit is computed using Excel11 IRR function as follows.
Year (N) Revenue ($) Cost ($) NAB ($)
0 4,50,000 -4,50,000
1 72,000 4,500 67,500
2 72,000 5,250 66,750
3 72,000 6,000 66,000
4 72,000 6,750 65,250
5 72,000 7,500 64,500
6 72,000 8,250 63,750
7 72,000 9,000 63,000
8 72,000 9,750 62,250
9 72,000 10,500 61,500
10 1,07,000 11,250 95,750
ROR of NAB = 7.98%
She should do C, to find the best way to optimize profits.
