Answer:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:

Rf (Switzerland) = 0.54%

Rm (Switzerland) = 8.5%

Beta (Switzerland) = 0.919

Rm (global) = 9.06%

Beta (global) = 0.532

a. What is​ Nestlé's cost of equity based on the domestic portfolio for a Swiss​ investor?

Re (Switzerland) = Rf + [Beta x (Rm - Rf) = 0.54% + [0.919 x (8.5% - 0.54%)] = 0.54% + 7.32% = 7.86%

b. What is​ Nestlé's cost of equity based on a global portfolio for a Swiss​ investor?

Re (global) = Rf + [Beta x (Rm - Rf) = 0.54% + [0.532 x (9.06% - 0.54%)] = 0.54% + 4.53% = 5.07%

Directions: Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility. Something that isn't value either doesn't give utility, or it
suter [353]

Answer:

Scarcity and Utility

I will explain the concepts of scarcity, value, and utility using my laptop and some writing pens.  I have only one laptop available in my family.  I use it 24-hours daily.  I attach so much value (utility) to the laptop because it is only one.  It is very scare in my household.  On the other hand, I have a packet of writing pens.  Pens are relatively not scare in my household.  If my laptop is missing, I will raise uproar in the house.  Everybody present will answer a tedious query.  But, if one of the pens gets missing, I may not even be aware that it is missing.  At the moment, I do not attach much value (utility) to the writing pens because I have many of them presently .  Writing pens are not scare in my household, as I said earlier.

Using these examples, I have demonstrated the concepts of scarcity, utility, and value.

Explanation:

Therefore, scarcity is defined by the value and the relative availability of a good.  Scarcity is a basic economic problem that shows the gap existing between limited resources and unlimited needs.  Based on the lack experienced with satisfying a need, one has to always choose between alternatives in order to maximize resource allocation and utility.

Utility in Economics refers to the value or satisfaction derivable from the meeting of a human or economic need.  It is initially connected to the concept of scarcity.  But after attaining some level of utility, scarcity temporarily evaporates.  And this is the dividing thin line.  This is why they are mostly used together.  "Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility."  Something that is not highly valuable is not usual scarce and does not give much utility, at least, to an extent.

Sonja [21]

The expected return for stock A and B is 8.55% and 15.11% respectively.

<h3>What is the Expected return?</h3>

= (Probability of Recession × Return during recession) + (Probability of normal × Return during normal) + (Probability of boom × Return during boom)

Expected return for stock A:

= (0.20 * .05) + (0.57 * 0.08) + (0.23 * 0.13)

= 0.0855

= 8.55%

Expected return for stock B:

= (0.20 * 0.20) + (0.57 * 0.09) + (0.23 * 0.26)

= 0.1511

= 15.11%

Answer:

Feedback control

Explanation:

Feedback control system is used by managers to guage how effectively their employees meet up with target output at the end of the production process.

It compares the output produced to the target output that was set for the employee. There is little consideration for how much the workload is.

In this scenario the manager assigns extra work every time an editor fails to fix errors in the article they are working on.
