Answer:

a) -2.6%

b) -2.8%

Explanation:

a) If Zynga beta is 1.3, the best guess as to Zynga's excess return today will be:

Zynga beta * Market Excess return =

-2% * 1.3 = -2.6%

Therefore, the best guess as to Zynga's excess return today if Zynga beta is 1.3 is -2.6%

b) If Proctor and Gamble beta is 0.4, the best guess as to P&G excess return today will be:

Proctor and Gamble beta * Excess market return =

-2% * 0.4 = -2.8%

Therefore, if Proctor and Gamble beta is 0.4, the best guess as to P&G excess return today is -2.8%

6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transa
jekas [21]

Answer:

a.

  • The quality of goods available to consumers
  • The costs of air and water pollution
  • The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government

b. investment; decreases; no overall change

Explanation:

a. GDP only measures goods that have monetary value so when a good cannot be properly quantified in terms of cash, it is difficult to account for it in GDP. Also, even if the good has monetary value for the Government was unaware of it, they will be unable to use it in the calculation of GDP.

For these reasons, the quality of goods available to consumers, the costs of air and water pollution and the value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government will not be a part of GDP calculation.

b.<em> When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the </em><em><u>investment</u></em><em> component of GDP while also </em><em><u>decreasing</u></em><em> net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes </em><em><u>no overall change </u></em><em>in US GDP. </em>

Purchasing raw materials for use in production is considered Investment by GDP. However, since it was imported it will reduce Net Exports which means that the transaction would cancel itself out in the GDP calculation as it would both increase investment and decrease Net exports by the same amounts.

Under the FLSA, regular rate of pay does not include: A. vacation pay. B. severance pay. C. overtime pay. D. earned bonuses. E.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

FLSA stands for Fair Labor Standard Act, which is defined as the act that usually requires, the covered non- exempt employees to receive the overtime pay, at least 1 and 1/2 times of their regular pay for the time they worked in excess of the 40 hours per week of the work.

The regular rate is defined as the remuneration which involves all the employment remuneration that are subject to the exclusions mentioned in the Section 7 under sub section (e) of the FLSA.

So, the vacation pay is the one which is not involved in the regular rate as any time earned gained over 40 along with the vacation is the straight time which will not be paid.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Dr. Cash                          $2,842

Dr. Discount Expense    $58

Cr. Account Receivable $2,900

Explanation:

Terms 2/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.

Sales = $3,700

Returns = $800

Amount Due = $3,700 - $800 = $2,900

As the payment is made within discount period, so discount will be availed

Discount = $2,900 x 2% = $58

Cash Paid = $2,900 - $58 = $2,842
