Answer:

b. Job A

Explanation:

The calculation of choosing the job is given below;

Expected payoff for Job B is

= 0.50 × $12 + 0.50 × $18

= $6 + $9

= $15

And,

The Payoff from job A is $15 with certainty

Now we assume that Jim would be a risk-averse person that selects the thing i.e. sure

So he should choose Job A only

Hence, the correct option is b.

The Campus Division of All-States Bank has assets of $1,800 million. During the past year, the division had profits of $225 mill
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: (a) 12.5%;

(b) $153 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Campus Division of All-States Bank,

Assets = $1,800 million

Division profits = $225 million

Cost of capital = 4 percent

(a) Divisional ROI = \frac{Profit}{Assets}

                             = \frac{225}{1,800}\times100

                             = 12.5%

(b) Divisional RI = Profits - Assets × cost of capital

                          =  $225 million - $1,800 million × 0.04(4%)

                          = $225 million - $72 million

                          = $153 million

Approximately two decades after a "baby boom," one could expect___________.
lana [24]

Answer:

b. an outward shift of the production possibilities curve along both axes

Explanation:

As we know that outward shift refers to the growth.

Baby boomers is a term used for the human generation born between 1946 and 1964 after the end of world war 2 when the birth rate across the world was narrowed and thereafter the emerging births of new infants were known as Baby Boom.

The main reasons of this outward shift were:

  • People started new families to cover the life gap of the loved ones they lost during the world war
  • People hoped that coming era will be of peace and business growth which they actually saw thereafter
  • People hoped to see the economic growth in upcoming years leading them towards business expansions and production growths as well

Consider two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 1.2. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and
barxatty [35]

Answer:

B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%

Explanation:

Here are the options :

A; it offers an expected excess return of .2%A; it offers an expected excess return of 2.2%B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%B; it offers an expected return of 2.4%

to determine which stock is the better buy, we have to calculate the expected return of the stocks using CAPM

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

Stock A = 5% + 1.2(9% - 5%) = 9.8%

Stock B = 5% + 1.8(9% - 5%) = 12.20%

The next step is to determine the excess return

stated expected return - calculated expected return = excess return

Stock A's excess return = 10% - 9.8% - 0.2%

Stock B's excess return = 14 - 12.20 = 1.8%

Security B would be considered because it has a higher excess return

When a firm or store offers a price reduction to customers who buy during off-peak periods throughout the year, we say the firm
german

Answer:

Seasonal.

Explanation:

A trade discount can be defined as a reduction in the price of goods given by a manufacturer to a wholesaler or retailer when they buy units of goods in larger quantities. This ultimately implies that, a trade discount is a percentage reduction in price given by a manufacturer to a wholesaler or retailer in order to encourage them to buy the goods in larger quantities and thus, increase revenue and profits.

Also, a seasonal discount can be defined as a reduction in the price of goods given during off-peak periods (off-season) in order to encourage customers to purchase a particular product.

Hence, when a firm or store offers a price reduction to customers who buy during off-peak periods throughout the year, we say the firm is giving a seasonal discount.
