Firdavs [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Simply put, the other meaning portfolio construction is diversification of risk. Portfolio construction is the one of simplest way of reducing risk without significantly affecting the returns.  

Ways of diversifying risk includes Pension Funds, Mutual Fund, Equity, Stocks, Debt / Bonds, Retirement Saving, etc.  If someone had made their investment in only one asset class, then there will be less returns available with high risk. while doing portfolio investment, it will give a systematic and controlled risky investment with higher return opportunities because some assets will perform well while other do poorly. but next year scenario could be changed or reversed. There are some thumb rules while doing portfolio investment, but it can be changed based on individual's personal goal.

Radda [10]

Answer:

B $12,300

Explanation:

Note that the movements in the prepaid insurance account balance is as a result of payments and amortization of these expenses as they fall due. While additional payments increases the prepaid insurance balance, amortization reduces it.

Given that the ending balance in the Prepaid insurance account for 2018 is  $1,400. This is the opening balance for prepaid insurance in 2019. Given that the insurance expense for 2019 is $12,800 and the ending balance in the Prepaid insurance account for 2019 is $900

Let the amount paid in 2019 be r

Then

$1,400 + r - $12,800 = $900

r = $900 + $12,800 - $1,400

r = $12,300

The right answer is B $12,300

serg [7]

Answer: Inelastic

Explanation:

The coefficients in a log-log model represent the elasticity of your dependent variable with respect to your independent variable. In other words, the coefficient in a log-log demand model is the estimated percent change in Q_{xd} with respect to a percentage change in the independent variables like P_{x}, P_{y}, M, A_{x}, etc.

Thus, coefficient of P_{x} represents the elasticity of demand for good X with respect to Price of good x. So, Own-price elasticity of good x is 0.8.

Since this is less than 1 the good is relatively inelastic.

Alexxandr [17]
<span>This is an example of "Non-normative life event".


Non-normative life events refers to those events that happen surprisingly, for example, catastrophic events, loss of a relative and war or winning a lottery which is unexpected. Indeed, even in cases that passing or sickness, in particular ages, are factually viewed as regularizing, they are really non-regulating. They are as yet startling and undesired occasions, related with serious impacts. Non-normative events might be included both negative and positive occasions, for example, passing of a darling individual or winning in a lottery. Be that as it may, in the two cases, they are unexpected and slightly related to chronological age.</span>

If 135 TV's are sold and cost $275 to produce and is priced at $250, what is the profit/loss?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

$25

Explanation:

The production cost is $275.

The selling price is $250

The loss/profit will be: Selling price minus cost price

=$250 - $275

=  -$25

A loss of $25.

If this is the cost for all the 135 TVs, then the loss is only $25.

N:B

If the costs are for one TV, then the loss will be $25 x 135=$3,375
