Answer:

Risk and Return

1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Labor Input Physical output 10 500 11 600 12 690 13 760 14 800 Refer to the above table, answer the following questions: A. If t
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Labor Input       Physical output  

    10                              500

     11                               600

     12                              690

     13                              760

     14                               800

marginal output of 11 th labor = 600 - 500 = 100

price of each product = 7

marginal revenue product  of 11 th labor  7 x 100 = 700

B )

price of each of  the goods sold = 10

marginal factor cost of labour = 700

minimum no of goods to be sold to cover the labour cost

= 700 / 10 = 70

no of goods added due to  addition of 11 the labour = 100

no of goods added due to  addition of 12 the labour = 90

no of goods added due to  addition of 13 the labour = 70

so no of units of labor upto which  the firm will continue to hire

= 13 .
