The equilibrium price is located at the intersection of the supply and demand curves.
The equilibrium price is $8

=============================================================

Explanation:

Visually, the two curves cross at (x,y) = (60,8) where x is the quantity and y is the price. This is known as the equilibrium.

In the third row of each table, we have the same pair of values $8 and 60 in that exact order. This leads to finding the equilibrium without using the graph.

Something like the first row wouldn't work because the first table shows $2 and 10, while the second table has that same row showing $12 and 10. There isn't a match.

----------------------------------

Extra info (optional section)

If the price is below equilibrium, then suppliers don't have much incentive to produce. This means they'll produce less. At the same time, demand will increase since price and quantity demanded go in opposite directions. Having more people demand for something that's in short supply is known as a shortage. Think of a bunch of people at a mall and there's a mad rush for one very rare item. If people really wanted that item, then they'll outbid each other to raise the price until it reaches some stable point. This idea is applied on a much larger scale.

If the price is above equilibrium, then suppliers will produce too much goods and demand will be lower. In this case, we have surplus and that will lower the cost of the goods eventually assuming there aren't external forces to keep the price afloat. The price will eventually drift down to equilibrium. An example could be that a store has too many coats and it's getting closer to the warmer spring weather, so they heavily discount the coats. Low demand on the large supply of coats lowers the price of those items.

As you can see, the equilibrium price is effectively a game of tug-of-war between the suppliers and consumers (those who demand and purchase a product). It's the middle ground, so to speak, between the two parties.

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr. Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr. Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr. Hayfo

Alla [95]

Question:

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.

(a) What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?

(b) Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?

Answer:

To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of Insurable Interest.

A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.

For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.

In question (a) there are two cases.

Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.

Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies, Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.

Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.

Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.

The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.

In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.

(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:

i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.

ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

Cheers!

An income statement for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter of the year is presented below:

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is $163,000.

Explanation:

The contribution margin is the sales minus total variable cost. This can be calculated as follows:

Units of books sold = Sales / Selling price per book = $900,000 / $60 = 15,000

Variable selling expenses = Units of books sold * Variable selling expenses per book = 15,000 * $5 = $75,000

Variable administrative expenses = Sales * 3% = $900,000 * 3% = $27,000

Total variable cost = Cost of goods sold + Variable selling expenses + Variable administrative expenses = $635,000 + $75,000 + $27,000 = $737,000

Contribution margin = Sales - Total variable cost = $900,000 - $737,000 = $163,000

Therefore, the contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is $163,000.

You are considering investing in a project with the following possible outcomes: Probability of Investment States Occurrence Ret

frutty [35]

Answer:

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent

Explanation:

To calculate the standard deviation of the investment, we must first calculate the expected or mean return of the investment. The expected or mean return can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA + pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

Where,

pA, pB, ... represents the probability of state occurrence
rA, rB, ... represents return A, return B and so on under each state

r = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.4 * 0.12 + 0.2 * 0.05 + 0.2 * -0.05

r = 0.08 or 8%

The formula to calculate the standard deviation of a stock/investment is as follows,

SD = √pA * (rA - r)² + pB * (rB - r)² + ... + pN * (rN - r)²

SD = √0.2 * (0.16 - 0.08)² + 0.4 * (0.12 - 0.08)² + 0.2 * (0.05 - 0.08)² + 0.2 * (-0.05 - 0.08)²

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent
