Answer:

Options C and E

Only Nick and Jake are optimising over his choice of fruit?

Explanation:

The marginal utility obtained from the purchase of a product is the amount of satisfaction derived from purchasing an additional unit of the product.

The utility is maximised when the satisfaction in terms of marginal utilities obtained from each product is equal to each other.

We obtain this simply by dividing the marginal utilities for each fruit by their price, and comparing them.

Dmitiri:

Apples: 8/1 =8

Pears: 10/2 =5

8/1 is not equals to 10/2

Frances:

Apples: 7/1 =7

Pears: 16/2 =8

7 is not equals to 8

Jake:

Apples: 6/1 =6

Pears: 12/2 =6

The marginal utility is equal hence Jake's choice is optimal

Latasha:

Apples: 5/1 =9

Pears: 9/2 =4.5

9 is not equals to 4.5

Nick:

Apples: 4/1 =4

Pears: 8/2 =4

The marginal utility is equal hence Nick's choice is optimal

You purchased 100 shares of IBM common stock on margin at $70 per share. Assume the initial margin is 50% and the maintenance ma
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

$50

Step by Step Explanation:

100 shares × $70 = $7,000

$7,000 × 0.5 = $3,500 (loan amount)

0.30 = (100P −$3,500)/100P

0.30×100P= 30P

30P = 100P −$3,500

30P- 100P= -70P

−70P = −$3,500

-3500/-70P = $50P

P = $50

The stock price level someone would get a margin call Assuming the stock pays no dividend is $50

Assume the following information:Spot rate today of Swiss franc = $.60 1-year forward rate as of today for Swiss franc = $.63 Ex
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

12.35%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Spot rate today of Swiss franc = $0.60

1-year forward rate as of today for Swiss franc = $0.63

Expected spot rate 1 year from now = $0.64

Rate on 1 year deposits denominated in Swiss francs = 7%

Rate on 1 year deposits denominated in U.S. dollars = 9%

Amount invested = $1,000,000

Now,

Amount with Swiss franc = Amount invested ÷ Spot rate today of Swiss franc

= $1,000,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,666,666.67

After 1 year = $1,666,666.67 × ( 1 + 0.07)

= $1,783,333.33

1 year Forward value = $1,783,333.33 × 0.63

= $1123499.99

Therefore,

Yield = [ $1123499.99 - $1,000,000 ] ÷ $1,000,000

= 0.1235

or

= 0.1235 × 100%

= 12.35%

Outline a compensation package that you would consider ideal in motivating an employee, recognizing performance, and assisting t
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Job promotion and official recognition in form of an award are the motivational package I will give to the employee

Explanation:I

If an employee's performance after appraisal and due diligence is commendable because of its contribution to our organization goals, intrinsically, such person deserves to be promoted to a higher rank because his contributions are not premised on lip service and service seeking recognition.

On the contrary, when an employee's performance is premised on extrinsic factors after conducting necessary appraisal, such an employee simply does that because of the reward he or she seek, and not necessarily the passion attaches to the job. Hence, such employee can be given material compensation which can be monetized but not necessarily a job promotion.
