<span>Divide $200 by 80 to get $2.50 price per zap. At 3%, Jermaine's $200 would grow to $206 ($200 x 1.03) = $206 by the end of the year. At the end of one year he would have $6 more and would be able to purchase two more zaps (2 X ($2.50 X 1.03), or 2 X $2.575 = $5.15) He would have $.85 left in change.</span>

<span>If an increase in the supply of a product in the market results in a decrease in price, but no change in the quantity traded, then the quantity of products will be growing and growing in the stock. this will again lead to a decrease in price and consumes more time to sale their stock. This will create a heavy loss to the investor. It may be overcome by innovative thoughts such as stopping the production of current product and launching a new product with available materials. So that it will balance the production and sale.</span>

Asset A and B have expected returns of 5% and 3% per year respectively. Their annual volatilities are both 20% and the correlati
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

1. Weight of A=0.5, Weight of B= 0.5

2. Asset A has the highest shape ratio. The weight of A and B in the optimal risky portfolio that has the highest shape ratio is:

Weight of A= 0.105, Weight of B= 0.895

Explanation:

Expected return of Asset A= 5%Expected return of Asset A= 5%

Expected return of Asset B= 3%

Annual volatilities of Asset A= 20%

Annual votalities of Asset B= 20%

1. Correlation coefficient = 30% = 0.3 < 1

Risk Free Rate = 1% =0.01

1. Weight of A and B in portfolio with minimal risk is:

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Therefore,

CovXAXB = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.3 × 0.2 × 0.2

= 0.012

Hence,

Weight of A= (0.2)^2 - 0.012 / (0.2)^2 + (0.2)^2 - 2(0.012)

Weight of A= 0.04 - 0.012 / 0.04 + 0.04 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.08 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.056

=0.5

Weight of A = 0.5

Weight of B= 1 - Weight of A

Weight of B= 1 - 0.5

Weight of B= 0.5

2. Shape ratio of A= RA - Rf / β

= 0.05 - 0.01 / 2

= 0.04/2

= 0.02 =20%

Shape ratio of B= RB - Rf / β

= 0.03 - 0.01/ 2

0.02 / 2

=0.01 = 10%

So, Asset A has the highest shape ratio

Cov (XAXB) = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.03 × 0.2 × 0.1

= 0.006

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Weight of A = (0.1)^2 - 0.006 / (0.2)^2 + (0.1)^2 - 2(0.006)

= 0.01 - 0.006 / 0.04 +0.01 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.05 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.038

= 0.105

Weight of A = 0.105

Weight of B= 1 - 0.105

Weight of B= 0.895

4. List three reasons for dividing a grill into zones of varying heat intensity.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

In the United States broiling is a top-down heat whereas grilling is a bottom-up heat. Grilling is anything where heat is aimed at food, top, side, or down. Baking in the UK is the same as in the U.S. (convective or ambient temperature equivalent cooking.)

Which is a commonly used resource for international ethical guidelines for human subjects research?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

CIOMS International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects

Explanation:

International Ethical  Guidelines for  Health-related Research  Involving Humans  are prepared by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS)  in collaboration with the  World Health Organization (WHO) . The ethical justification for undertaking health-related research involving humans is its  scientific and social value: the prospect of generating the knowledge and the means   necessary to protect and promote people’s health. Patients, health professionals, researchers,  policy-makers, public health officials, pharmaceutical companies and others rely on the  results of research for activities and decisions that impact individual and public health,  welfare, and the use of limited resources. Therefore, researchers, sponsors, research ethics  committees, and health authorities, must ensure that proposed studies are scientifically  sound, build on an adequate prior knowledge base, and are likely to generate valuable  information.

Prepare adjusting entries for the following transactions.
g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Debit Depreciation expense  $1,340

  Credit Accumulated depreciation  $1,340

2. Debit Interest expense  $275

   Credit Accrued Interest  $275

3. Debit Supplies expense  $450

   Credit Supplies Account  $450

4. Debit Unearned Service revenue  $3,100

   Credit Service revenue  $3,100

5. Debit Salaries expense  $900

   Credit Accrued Salaries  $900

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

It is recorded by debiting depreciation and crediting accumulated depreciation.

When interest is incurred as an expense but yet to be paid, it will be accrued for by Debiting Interest expense and crediting accrued Interest. The same applies to salaries incurred but yet to be paid.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used up = $550 - $100

= $450

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

Earned revenue = $4,000 - $900

= $3,100
