Answer:
To minimise cost, the firm should lay off worker and rent more computer as it give more output per dollar invested on it. This reduce the fixed cost of the company drastically and increase the production of the company. The marginal cost of production and marginal revenue are economic parameter, which help to determine the amount of output and price per unit of input that will maximise the profits. The point at which marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost maximise the profit.

Explanation:
The Fed has various roles. Among its key objectives is to monitor the economy to ensure maximum sustainable economic growth. To achieve this growth, the Fed uses different monetary tools to regulate inflation and influence unemployment levels.
The Fed receives economic data from other government agencies that help it determine the appropriate cause of action. For example, if the bureau of labor statistics reports a high level of unemployment, it could mean the economy is slowing down. The Fed then applies expansionary policies to stimulate growth. If inflation is low or very high, it affects price stability. The Fed has tools to regulate inflation.
Answer:
$635,000 and : 34%
Explanation:
Margins of safety is the difference between expected sales and the break-even point.
For Zhao, expected sales are 10,000 units
The break-even points in units = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit
fixed costs = $429,000
Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs per unit
=$187 - $122
=$65
break-even point in units = $429,000/$65
break-even point = 6600 units
Margin of safety = 10,000 - 6600 units
=3400 units
In dollars is equal to margin of safety in units x selling price
=3400 x 187
<u>=$635,000</u>
as a percent of expected sales.
=3400/10000 x 100
=0.34 x 10,000
=34%
Being self-employed for the past 15+ years I can tell you that there are many disadvantages of self-employment. My top six would be:
1. I pay more taxes
2. My pay is never the same (I have good months and bad months)
3. I tend to over-work (I work an average of 70+ hours a week.
4. There are no benefits (medical, dental, etc.)
5. I do not get paid if I take off (sick or vacation)
6. There are many distractions in my home that makes working difficult sometimes (personal call, my pets, Grandchildren, etc.)
I hope this helps. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Take care,
Diana
Answer:
Explanation:
First one is false because diversification reduces risk because it divides the risk amongst different securities. The portfolio risk will therefore be lower than the average of all stocks' standard deviations.
Second one is true because unsystematic risk is risk that will come with the type of stock or security purchased. It is usually referred to as diversifiable risk because using negatively correlated stocks can help diversify this risk.
Third one is True because the portfolio's risk when diversified is indeed likely to be smaller than the average of all stocks' standard deviation.
Fourth one is false because portfolio risk is <em>reduced</em> if stock that are negatively correlated are put into a portfolio because it means that when one stock is not doing so well, the other being negatively correlated, will be doing fine.
