Answer:

C. Borrowing $43 at the risk-free rate and investing the total amount ($143) in the risky asset.

Explanation:

Outcome Return For $100 =  (115 - 100)/100 = 15%;

0.15 = w1(0.12) + (1 - w1)(0.05)

0.15 = 0.12w1 + 0.05 - 0.05w1

0.10 = 0.07w1  

w1 = 1.43($100)

w1 = $143;

(1 - w1)$100 = $100 - $143

(1 - w1)$100 = -$43

What would happen if the European Union put a quota on American jeans and only allowed 4,000, pairs of jeans to be imported?
brilliants [131]

If the European Union put a quota on American jeans only allowing a small portion to be imported the demand for the jeans would rise even though the supply would not follow that.  When there is a small limit on something that consumers want, the price usually goes up because they know they will sell the items regardless and in this case that may happen. The price of jeans will rise, the demand will rise, but the supply will not.

Which of the following is NOT one of the main motivations and characteristics of an entrepreneur?
mojhsa [17]

Process of elimination:

Flexibility is a characteristic because entrepreneurs are designing their own path (path being vague for whatever their entrepreneurship is focused on), allowing for flexibility

Risk is a characteristic because being on your own and doing your own thing is much more unstable than simply working for a well-founded company

Innovation is a characteristic, because the flexibility that comes from being an entrepreneur allows for freedom of ones own ideas, making innovation more likely.

Profit is not a particular characteristic, due to the risk factor.

Profit is the right answer :D

A company with $70,000 in current assets and $50,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current assets = $70,000

Current liabilities = $50,000

Pays a current liability = $1,000

Current ratio(Prior) :

= Current assets ÷ Current liabilities

= $70,000 ÷ $50,000

= 1.40

Current ratio(After paying liability) :

= (Current assets - $1,000) ÷ (Current liabilities - $1,000)

= ($70,000 - $1,000) ÷ ($50,000 - $1,000)

= $69,000 ÷ $49,000

= 1.41

Therefore, there is an increase in current ratio.

Working capital(Prior):

= Current assets - Current liabilities

= $70,000 - $50,000

= $20,000

Working capital(After paying liability):

= (Current assets - $1,000) - (Current liabilities - $1,000)

= ($70,000 - $1,000) - ($50,000 - $1,000)

= $69,000 - $49,000

= $20,000

Therefore, there is no change in working capital.

Ming Company had net income of $772,200 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 7,800 units and 5,200 u
Otrada [13]

Answer:

$764,400

Explanation:

Given that,

Net income under variable costing = $772,200

Beginning inventories = 7,800 units

Ending inventories = 5,200 units

Fixed overhead per unit = $3

Net income under absorption costing:

= Net income under variable costing - [(Beginning inventories - Ending inventories) × Fixed overhead per unit]

= $772,200 - [(7,800 - 5,200) × $3]

= $772,200 - $7,800

= $764,400
