Answer:
My firm would respond by lobbying.
Explanation:
My firm would lobby (i.e. try to influence the decision of officials) the government of Thailand and ask them to stop the administrative trade barriers. My firm would also lobby government of US to end the tariff which they import on exports to Thailand. This way my firm would continue the operations of Hong Kong and Malaysia.
This shows that targeted trade barriers are effective and can damage the economy. It can discourage the trade barriers and ensure that they are removed.
The question is incomplete as it is missing the figures. The complete question is,
Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 15% and Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 20%. If you put 70% of your portfolio in Laurelhurst and 30% in Fremont, what is the expected return of your portfolio?
Answer:
Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks returns' that form up the portfolio. The expected return of a portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
- w represents weight of each stock in the portfolio
- r represents the return of each stock in the portfolio
Portfolio return = 0.3 * 0.15 + 0.7 * 0.2
Portfolio return = 0.185 or 18.5%
Answer:
It has to do with cost, portion control and child personality training
Explanation:
1. Portion Control: Parents often give their children so much more to eat than they can, when meals are presented pre-plated and this can lead to waste, which would have been avoided in a family-style meal where each child can pick for themselves as much as they know they can eat.
2. Cost Control: Pre-plated meals because of their nature of already-defined-portions could help parents budgeting as against when children begin to pick so much more portions of fish at meal time, than they do vegetables; which can spike the cost of each meal
3. Personality Training: In pre-plated meals, the decision making is in the hands of the parent but in the family style meals, the child is beginning to learn how to make choices and decisions, early enough in life; which have have huge leadership benefits at the work place and personally, later in life.
Answer:
$2,500 Increase
Explanation:
Lil Beasty Company
Variable cost per unit ($17 + $1.50) $18.50
Income per unit ($19 – $18.50) $0.50
The total increase in net income ($.50 X 5,000 units) $2,500
Therefore we have increase $2,500 meaning If the offer is accepted with unused capacity, net income will increase by $2,500. The variable cost per unit will be $18.50 ($17 + $1.50); the income per unit is $.50 ($19 – $18.50); and the total increase in net income will be $2,500 ($.50 X 5,000 units)
<span>The question refers to whether that scenario describes a competitive market, and the answer is - no. This scenario that you have presented us with is not an example of a competitive market because there is no free entry. Because firms cannot freely enter this market, this cannot be said to be competitive, because there are no companies to compete if there is only one firm involved. </span>
