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

The market for plywood is characterized by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 800 – 10P and QS = 50P – 1,000, where
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$3,750

Explanation:

at $25 per sheet of plywood:

total demand = 800 - (10 x 25) = 800 - 250 = 550

total supply = (50 x 25) - 1,000 = 1,250 - 1,000 = 250

the equilibrium price is:

800 - 10P₁ = 50P₁ - 1,000

1,800 = 60P₁

P₁ = 1,800 / 60 = 30

the equilibrium quantity (Q₁) is:

Q₁ = 800 - (10 x 30) = 800 - 300 = 500

at 250 units, the price should be:

250 = 800 - 10P₂

10P₂ = 550

P₂ = $55

total deadweight loss = 0.5 x  (P₂ - P₁)  x (Q₂ - Q₁) = 0.5 x  ($55 - $25)  x (250 - 500) = 0.5 x $30 x -250 = -$3,750

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Date          Units                       Unit Cost            Unit Selling Price

July 1 Beginning Inventory 50    $ 10

July 13 Purchase      250                 13

July 25 Sold (100 )                                                                  $ 15

July 31 Ending Inventory 200

Cost of Goods Available for sale= 250 units at $  13+   50 units at   $ 10

= 3250 + 500= $3750

FIFO Ending Inventory $ 2600

200 units at $ 13= $ 2600

Sales 100At $ 15= $1500

FIFO Cost Of Goods Sold  $ 1150

50 units at $ 10= $ 500

50 units at $ 13= $ 650

LIFO Ending Inventory $ 2450

50 units at $ 10= $ 500

150 units at $ 13= $ 1950

Sales 100 at $ 15= $1500

LIFO Cost Of Goods Sold  $ 1150= Cost of Goods Available for Sale Less LIFO Ending Inventory = 3750- 2450= $ 1300

100 units at $ 13= $ 1300

Weighted Average Ending Inventory 12.5 * 200= $ 2500

Total Cost/ total units= 3750/300= 12.5

Weighted Average  Cost Of Goods Sold  $ 1150= Cost of Goods Available for Sale Less Weighted Average  Ending Inventory = 3750- 2500= $ 1250

Weighted Gross Profit= Sales Less Weighted Cost Of Goods Sold= $ 1500- $ 1250= $ 250
