Your portfolio has a beta of 1.28. The portfolio consists of 25 percent U.S. Treasury bills, 31 percent Stock A, and 44 percent
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

2.21

Explanation:

Portfolio beta = Respective beta*Respective weight

<em>Beta of market=1;Beta of risk-free assets=0</em>

1.28 = (0.25*0) + (0.31*1) + (0.44*Beta of Stock B)

1.28 = 0 + 0.31 + 0.44*Beta of Stock B

1.28 - 0.31 = 0.44*Beta of Stock B

Beta of Stock B = 0.97/0.44

Beta of Stock B = 2.204545454545455

Beta of Stock B = 2.21

The grocery industry has an annual inventory turnover of about 13 times. Organic​ Grocers, Inc., had a cost of goods sold last y
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

What was Organic​ Grocers' inventory​ turnover

ORGANIC  

11,58  INVENTORY TURNOVER

Explanation:

The Organic company compared with the industry works with more inventory than the market, which means that the company is less efficient than the Grocery Industry in Inventory management .

ORGANIC  

11,58         INVENTORY TURNOVER

11.680,000  Cost Of Goods

1.008,880  Average Inventory

32            DAYS IN INVENTORY

To calculate the Inventory Turnover ratio it's necessary to calculate the average inventory of the year ($1,008,880) , take the Total Cost of Goods ($11,680,000) and divide it by the Average Inventory, the result it's the Inventory Turnover of the company, in this case 11,58

To find the days in inventory we have to divide 365 (days of the year) by the Inventory Turnover, 11,58 the result is 32 days.

To have a similar Inventory Turnover as the industry the company needs to low the average inventory to $898,524.

ORGANIC  

13,00       INVENTORY TURNOVER

11.680,000  Cost Of Goods

898,524  Average Inventory

28           DAYS IN INVENTORY

Some countries have high minimum wages and require a lengthy and costly process to get permission to open a business Select one:
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

b. Reducing the minimum wage and the time and cost to open a business would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right

Explanation:

Minimum wage is a wage set by the government, to pay for laborers. Wages below this is illegal. Wages are also a major cost to any firm. When they have been reduced, cost of production is likely to fall. Cost of production is a factor affecting supply. When cost of production falls, supply shifts right.

This is explained as that when cost of production falls, businesses can now make higher profits. This acts as a motivation for many other firms to also enter into the market. Therefore, supply is likely to rise in the long-run, shifting the supply curve to the right.

Time and cost to open a business is another factor affecting supply. When the time and cost is high, it discourages new firms because they do not want to undergo the hassle of submitting many legal documents or may not have enough funds to pay for all the costs. However, when the cost and time taken falls, more firms will be willing and able to enter into the market. Thus, the supply curve shifts right in the long run, increasing quantity supplied.
