Answer:

0.67

Explanation:

Beta measures the systemic risk of a portfolio

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock  

total number of stocks in the portfolio 400 + 290 + 700 = 1390

(400 / 1390 x 0.6) + (290 / 1390 x 1.2) + (700 / 1390 x 0.5) =

0.17 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.67

Assume that Luxland and Leanderland specialize and trade in a way that is advantageous for bothof them. Explain what will happen
katen-ka-za [31]

Question Completion:

Production outputs

                    Luxland    Leanderland

Chips                10                4

Pretzels            10                8

Total output    20               12

Answer:

Assuming that Luxland and Leanderland specialize and trade in a way that is advantageous for both of them, the number of pretzels that Leanderland can produce will be 16.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Specialization Output:

                    Luxland    Leanderland

Chips                20                0

Pretzels              0                16

Total output     20                16

b) While it is acknowledged that Luxland has absolute advantage in the production of both chips and pretzels when compared to Leanderland, the total output for both economies, without specialization, remains 32 units (of both chips and pretzels).  When they specialize, Leanderland's output increases to 16 units from 12.  This results in total output of 36 units instead of 32 for both economies.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$1 million

Explanation:

Section 179 deduction of the IRS code was enacted to help small business owners take depreciation deductions for certain assets ( capital expenditure I.e. the money spent on acquiring and maintaining fixed assets such as buildings and equipments ) in one year rather than continuous depreciation over a long period of time.

The new law increased the maximum deduction from $500,000 to $1 million.

For example: lets say you buy a computer for your office, under section 179 you can deduct the full cost of your computer in one year. This a very okay because the life span of your computer is short

When the price of good A is $50, the quantity demanded of good A is 500 units. When the price of good A rises to $70, the quanti
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

total revenue  for 500 is $2500

total revenue  for 400 is $2800

Explanation:

given data

price of good A = $50

quantity demanded of good A = 500 units

price of good A rises = $70

quantity demanded of good A falls = 400 units

solution

we get here Elasticity of demand that is express as

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity ÷ average quantity) ÷ (change in price ÷ average price)   .......................1

here

Change in quantity is = 400 - 500 = -100  

and average quantity is =  \frac{400+500}{2} = 450

and change in price is = 70 - 50 = 20

average price is = \frac{70+50}{2} = 60

so now we put all value in equation 1

Elasticity of demand  = \frac{\frac{-100}{450} }{\frac{20}{60} }

Elasticity of demand  = -0.67

as here the elasticity of demand is inelastic because elasticity is above -1

so about total revenue when price will increases as elasticity is inelastic

so increase in price will cause increase in revenue because revenue is maximum when elasticity = -1

and increase in price will cause increases elasticity in the absolute term and revenue will increase

total revenue = price × quantity

so

total revenue  for 500 = 500 × 5 = $2500

total revenue  for 400 = 400 × 7 = $2800

Explain whether each of the following events shifts the short-run aggregate-supply curve, the aggregate-demand curve, both, and
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

1. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. - Aggregate-Demand Curve

If households in the economy started saving more of their money then this would leave less money for consumption which is one of the components of Aggregate Demand. When Consumption decreases so also will Aggregate Demand thereby shifting the Aggregate-Demand Curve to the left.

2. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. - Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve

With the Florida Orange Groves suffering from below freezing temperatures, the oranges will not grow as much leading to a poor harvest. This will reduce the supply of oranges in the economy and shift the short-run Aggregate supply curve left.

3. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country. Both Aggregate-Demand Curve and Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve.

With less people in the Economy, there will be less people spending on goods and services which will cause the Aggregate Demand curve to shift to the left.

Also with people leaving the country, the labor force will decrease which will mean that less people are available to produce goods and services so the short-run Aggregate supply curve will shift left.
