In the scenario in which each parent has just one child who watches sesame street, each parent has a private incentive to contribute 0% during the pledge drive. Public television is nonexcludable, which means that the free-rider problem will emerge, so every parent has an incentive to not contribute in hopes that others will. This is the reason for the 0%.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

For simplicity, assume there is only 1 man and 1 woman and that if the price of a microwave is equal to an individual's willingness to pay, the individual will purchase the microwave.

If the number of male and female buyers is the same, then the best pricing strategy is to offer 2 different microwaves (option 3). One simple and cheap microwave for women and one with auto-defrost for men.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Bad debt expense (w/o allowance) = $2,875

Bad debt expense ( with allowance) = $2,675.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Net credit sales = $115,000

Uncollectible percentage = 2.5%

So, we can calculate the bad debt expense without Allowance for doubtful accounts by using following method:

Bad debt expense ( W/o allowance) = $115,000 × 2.5%

= $2,875

After Allowance for doubtful expense

Bad debt expense = $2,875 - $200

= $2,675

A portfolio has three stocks long dash 220 shares of Yahoo (YHOO), 110 shares of General Motors (GM), and 40 shares of Standar

Archy [21]

Answer:

0.4371 and 0.2185

Explanation:

For computing the portfolio weight, first we have to determine the total value which is shown below:

For Yahoo:

220 shares × $30 = $6,600

For General motors:

110 shares × $30 = $3,300

For Standard and Poor's Index Fund:

40 shares × $130 = $5,200

So, the total value would be

= $6,600 + $3,300 + $5,200

= $15,100

So, the portfolio weight of YHOO and GM would be

= $6,600 ÷ $15,100 = 0.4371

And, for GM, it would be

= $3,300 ÷ $15,100 = 0.2185
