Answer: 28%

Explanation:

First, we have to make an assumption that the initial wealth is 100, then the weight of the risk free asset will be:

= Amount invested in risk free / Initial wealth

= -100/100

= -1

The weight of the portfolio will be calculated as:

= 1 - weight of risk free asset

= 1-(-1)

= 1 + 1

= 2

Therefore, the expected return on the resulting portfolio will be:

= 2 × 16 + [(-1) × 4]

= 32 - 4

= 28

Explanation:

<em>The direct matriculate total variance is he difference between the standard material cost for the actual output achieved and the actual material cost of the same output</em>

Standard materiel cost per unit = 0.25 × $30 = $7.5  per unit

                                                                                                  $

5,000 units should have cost (5000×  $7.5) =                    37,500

suppose that aggregate demand is falling for several months in a row. describe how the economy will adjust in the long run.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

If aggregate demand in the long run is falling for several months in a row, it will make aggregate market results in an increase in the price level but no change in real production. The level of real production resulting from the aggregate demand shock is full-employment real production.

Aggregate demand can be described as a measurement of the total amount of demand for all finished services and goods produced in an economy. Aggregate demand is expressed as the total amount of money exchanged for those services and goods at a specific point in time and price level.

The model of aggregate demand and long-run aggregate supply predicts that the economy will eventually move toward its potential output. To see how nominal wage and price stickiness can cause real GDP to be either above or below potential in the short run, consider the response of the economy to a change in aggregate demand.

Suppose that, instead of developing its Datsun line for emerging markets, Nissan simply sold its existing models in those market
mylen [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

(A) First Degree Price Discrimination

(B) it is regarded as a form of price discrimination because the current price at which Datsun models are sold, differs from the former price (the current price is half the original or former price).

Also, this is a deliberate action or business strategy taken by the Nissan automobile company so it is price discrimination.

(C) Nissan might choose this approach because (according to the question) there are emerging markets and the Datsun model of Nissan motors will soon go obsolete.

So since the first aim of a company is to make profit, instead of losing buyers of the old model completely, Nissan will sell the off at much lower prices.

(D) Yes, it will a success move if the company does not presently have the technology to adapt to the new or emerging market for different type or function of vehicles.

Firecracker Company has developed the following standards for one of its products. Direct materials: 15 pounds × $16 per pound D
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

(-$10,000) Unfavorable

Explanation:

Direct materials:

Quantity = 15 pounds  

Standard price = $16 per pound

Actual price = Purchase Price ÷ Purchase quantity

                    = 170,000 ÷ 10,000

                    = 17

Material price variance:

= Actual purchase quantity × (Standard price - Actual price)

= 10,000 × ($16 - $17)

= 10,000 × (-$1)

= (-$10,000) Unfavorable
