Answer:

B. Fewer workers will be needed.

Explanation:

Elastic demand refers to a flexible demand. It is a demand that can increases or decreases due to several factors. If demand is not elastic, it implies it is constant. An increase or decrease in output or price will not affect the quantity demanded.

An increase in productivity means an increase in output per worker. It is the increase in the number of units produced, per hour, per worker. An increase in productivity results in more output in a given period than previously.

If the demand is constant and there is an increase in productivity, only a few workers will be required. The output from the few workers will be high to meet the constant demand.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

8.78

Explanation:

The computation of the cash cycle is given below;

We know that

Cash cycle = Inventory conversion period + Receivables conversion period - Payables conversion period.

Here

1. Inventory conversion period = Avg. Inventory ÷ (COGS ÷365)

= (11,000) ÷ (395000 ÷ 365)

= 10.16

2. Receivables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Receivable ÷ (Credit Sales × 365)

= (27000/520000) × 365

= 18.95

3. Payables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Payable ÷ (Purchases  × 365)

= (22000 ÷ 395000) × 365

= 20.33

Now the cash cycle is

= 10.16 + 18.95 - 20.33

= 8.78

artcher [175]

Answer: 12.86 years.

Explanation: Rule of 72 says that to know in how many years the amount can double can be done by using the interest rate. The rule of 72 says that 72 divided by the annual interest rate will give the number of years it will take to double the amount.

Rule of 72:

Rate of interest = 5.60%/4

Number of years to double the investment = 72 ÷ 1.4

Number of years to double the investment = 51.43/4 = 12.86 years

Therefore, it will take 12.86 years for the $1850 to get double to $3700.

You invest $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of a risky asset with an expected rate of return o
gladu [14]

Answer:

The rate of return on the risky asset is 16% and on treasury bill is 6% and we need a return of (1100-1,000)/1000= 10% or 0.1

If we think of x as the percentage investment in risky asset and 1-x as the investment in non risky asset we can mathematically find what proportion we need to invest in each asset to get this return.

16x+ 6(1-x)=10

16x+6-6x=10

10x=4

x=4/10

x= 0.4

This equation tells us that we should invest 40% in risky assets and 1-x which is 60% in treasury bills. We can test our answer by putting these values and see if the return is 10 %

(0.4*16)+(0.6*6)= Rate of return

Rate of return=10%

10% of 1000 = 100

100+1000=$1100
