Answer: Decrease

Explanation:

What makes return on investment fantastic is when production and sales is on a steady increase, as production increases and sales follow there after, there would be an increase in return on investment because the increase in sales would make room for expansion giving the business more profit, but in the scenario where raw materials are not promising, there would be a decrease in production overtime and which would also lead to a decrease in return on investment.

Chip used the local yellow pages to compile a random sample of 100 small businesses to take part in his experiment about hiring
mel-nik [20]

From the given description, Chip is using an experimental design called (A) matching.

Matching <u>is a type of experimental design where the researcher divide his or her samples into two groups of treatment conditions, which serves to ensure that before the treatment, both groups have the samples with the same characteristics, thus ensuring that the results of the experiment would not be influenced by any confounding variables that the samples have.</u>

Chip is doing this to ensure that samples that have been influenced by other variables which determine their decision to hire are distributed evenly in both the experimental and control group.

On January 1, Year 1, the Starshina Company paid $25,000 for a photocopier with an estimated useful life of 4 years, and an esti
maksim [4K]

Answer: The amount of depreciation expense for Year 3 is $3,125.

Explanation: The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($25,000 - $5,000) / 4 years = $5,000 yearly depreciation expense.

Under the double-declining method, 100%/4years = 25%, then 25% multiplied by 2 to give 50%

At Year 1, 50% X $25,000 = $12,500

At Year 2, 50% X $12,500 ($25,000 - $12,500) = $6,250

At Year 3, 50% X $6,250 ($12,500 - $6,250) = $3,125 (the depreciation expense would stop at this stage since the amount falls below the residual value).

The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this
mylen [45]

Answer:

A) The price of a donut is $2.00 in 2009.

B) Rina's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2009.

Explanation:

The nominal value of a variable is its monetary amount, in this case, in dollars which is susceptible to currency fluctuations and inflation. Therefore, statements A and B present the nominal value of a variable.

When valuing a variable as an exchange for another good, that is assigning a real value to that variable since monetary changes won't affect the relationship between two goods.

The answers are A) and B)

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Invest 50% in portfolio A and the rest 50% in risk-free asset to create Portfolio D, we will have the same systematic risk as that of Portfolio B.

The expected return of Portfolio D = 11%

Portfolio D and Portfolio B have the same beta of 1.0. But, portfolio D has a higher return of 11% as compared to the expected return of Portfolio B of 8%.

Buy Portfolio D, and sell Portfolio B.

Explanation:

A risk free asset is referred to an asset that provides a virtually guaranteed return and no possibility of loss.

Risk-free asset has a beta of 0.

Portfolio D Beta = Wa × Portfolio A Beta + Wb × Risk-free asset beta

1.0 = Wa * 2.0 + Wb * 0

Wa = 1.0/2.0

Wa = 0.50

If we invest 50% in portfolio A and the rest 50% in risk-free asset to create Portfolio D, we will have the same systematic risk as that of Portfolio B.

The expected return of Portfolio D = 0.50 × 0.19 + 0.50 ×0.03

The expected return of Portfolio D = 0.11

The expected return of Portfolio D = 11%

Portfolio D and Portfolio B have the same beta of 1.0. But, portfolio D has a higher return of 11% as compared to the expected return of Portfolio B of 8%.

Buy Portfolio D, and sell Portfolio B.
