Answer:

The firm should decrease the amount of capital used.

Explanation:

The wage rate is $12 per hour and capital is rented at $8 per hour.

The marginal product of labor is 60 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 45 units of output per hour.

A manager hires labor and rents capital equipment in a very competitive market.

The ratio of marginal product of labor and wage rate

= \frac{60}{12}

= 5

The ratio of marginal product of capital and rent

= \frac{45}{8}

= 5.625

Since the ratio is greater for capital, it means that the manager should decrease the amount of capital used in the production process.

Afina-wow [57]

Macro events only are reflected in the performance of the market portfolio because the specific risks have been diversified away.

A market portfolio is a theoretical bundle of investments that consists of each kind of asset to be had within the investment universe, with each asset weighted in proportion to its total presence in the market. The predicted return of a market portfolio is equal to the expected go back of the market as a whole.

The market portfolio is a basket of assets created by an investor the use of varied set of investments. The basket can encompass securities like pension plans, mutual funds, shares, actual property, bonds, foreign currencies, and assets like silver, gold, coins, bitcoins to call some.

The basic expected return method includes multiplying every asset's weight in the portfolio via its anticipated return, then including all the ones figures together. In different words, a portfolio's anticipated return is the weighted average of its personal components' returns.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

A good way to think about it is that industry, a general term for businesses engaging in productive practices, is concerned with the production of goods. These are the goods that are demanded by consumers. So as 'industry' is supplying those goods, it must be on the supply side of the market.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Finished goods = $85,800

Ending inventory = $5,280

Explanation:

beginning WIP 400 units

$11,080

8000 units started

$80,000

units finished and transferred out = 8,000 + 400 - 600 = 7,800

ending inventory 600 units

80% complete

equivalent units = 7,800 + (600 x 80%) = 8,280

total costs = $91,080

cost per equivalent unit = $91,080 / 8,280 = $11

Finished goods = 7,800 x $11 = $85,800

Ending inventory = 480 x $11 = $5,280
