Answer:

The true β of the stock is 0

Explanation:

The regression equation for the stock would be given as,

y = βo + β1X1

The information given to us in the question is:

y = 6%

βo = 12%

X1 = (1 - 0.5)

Putting the information in the equation,

6% = a + 12% (1 - 0.5);

6% = a + 6%

a = 6% - 6%

a = 0

We calculated the gains and losses from price controls on natural gas and found that there was a deadweight loss of $5.68 billio
Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. If the price of oil were $70.00 per barrel, what would be the free-market price of gas?

The free-market price is defined by the equilibrium point: when the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied are equal.

QS = 15.90 + 0.72PG + 0.05PO

QD = 0.02 – 1.8PG + 0.69PO

15.90 + 0.72PG + 0.05(70.00) = 0.02 – 1.8PG + 0.69(70.00)

19.4 + 0.72 PG= 48.32-1.8PG

PG(0.72+1.8)=48.32-19.4

PG= 28.92/2.52

PG= $11.48

QS=QD= 15.90+0.72(11.48)+0.05(70.00)

QS=QD= 27.66

What would be the deadweight loss if the price of natural gas were regulated to be $4.00? The deadweight loss would be $___ billion. (Round answer to two decimal places)

If PG is $4.00

The quantity supplies will be less than the quantity demanded. The quantity supplied will be the quantity sold in the market.

QS=  15.90+0.72(4)+0.05(70.00)

QS= 22.28

To find the deadweight loss we must evaluate the quantity supplied in the demand curve:

22.28 = 0.02 – 1.8PG + 0.69(70.00)

1.8PG= 48.32-22.28

PG= 26.04/1.8

PG= 14.47

And now we calculate the area shown in the figure attached:

Base: 14.47-4= 10.47

Height: 27.66-22.28= 5.38

Deadweight loss: (10.47*5.38)/2

Deadweight loss: 28.1643

The deadweight loss would be $28.16 billion.

A manufacturing company is considering a capacity expansion investment at the cost of $258,388 with no salvage value. The expans
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

33,610.42  units

Explanation:

For computing the minimum annual production rate first we have to determine the annual worth by using the PMT formula which is shown below:

Given that

Present value = $258,388

Interest rate = 10%

NPER = 7 years

Future value = $0

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(RATER;NPER;-PV;FV;type)

The present values comes in a negative

After solving this, the annual worth is $53,074.32

And, the annual operating maintenance cost is $28,599

So, the revenue should be

= $53,074.32 + $28,599

= $81,673.32

Now the minimum annual production rate is

= $81,673.32 ÷ $2.43

= 33,610.42  units
