Answer:

For X $150

For Y $100

Explanation:

The computation of optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio is shown below:-

Risk portfolio = Complete portfolio × Weight of risky portfolio

= $1,000 × 25%

= $250

So, Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio will be

For X in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of X

= $250 × 60%

= $150

For Y in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of Y

= $250 × 40%

= $100

Therefore for computing the Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio we simply multiply the risk portfolio with optimal percentage of X and in the similar way of Y.

gregori [183]

Answer:

3.8 times

Explanation:

Inventory turnover indicates how many times a company sells and replaces its stock of goods during a particular period. The formula for inventory turnover ratio is the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory for the same period.

$ 320,000 / 63,000 = 5.1 times in 2022

$283,500 / 32,000 = 8.9 times in 2023

Therefore inventory turnover increase as a result of the switch to the JIT system by 8.9 times - 5.1 times = 3.8 times

Olin [163]

Answer:

c. believe in the use of fiscal policy to stabilize the economy.

Explanation:

According to Keynesian theory, the sum of some micro-economic behaviors of all individuals and businesses results in inefficiency and the economy operates at a level below its potential output and growth. When total demand for products is insufficient, the economy enters a crisis and unnecessary unemployment arises due to defensive behavior of the producers. In such cases, the government may pursue policies to increase aggregate demand, and as a result may accelerate economic activities and reduce unemployment. Most Keynesian propose policies to stabilize the business cycle. For example, when the unemployment level is too high, the state can pursue a growth-oriented monetary policy.  , one of the most famous of his critiques, Keynes argues and did not agree with "The Laissez-faire" that he opined  the doctrines of laissez-faire are dependent on some extent on a case-by-case basis.
