Answer:

Percentage Return = 0.13936651584  or  13.936651584%  rounded off to 13.94%

Explanation:

To calculate the return percentage, we need to take the total return provided by the share in form of both dividends and capital gains. The total yield or return for the holding period can be calculated as follows,

Percentage Return = [Dividend + P1 - P0] / P0

Where,

  • P1 is price today
  • P0 is the purchase price

Percentage Return = [0.45 + 62.50 - 55.25] / 55.25

Percentage Return = 0.13936651584  or  13.936651584%  rounded off to 13.94%

A stock's price fluctuations are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $104.50 and a standard deviation of $23.62. Y
denpristay [2]

Answer:

$ 74.23

Explanation:

We are given the following:

mean, μ = $ 104.50

standard deviation, σ = $ 23.62

Using the z-score table, we have

P(Z < z) = 10%  (since we are evaluating lowest 10% of values)

hence P(Z < z) = 0.10

P(Z < -1.282 ) = 0.10

z = -1.282  (this evaluates to 0.1 on the z-score table)

Using z-score formula,

x = z *σ + μ

substituting the values,

x =- - 1.282 * 23.62 + 104.50

= 74.23

The most for the stock is $ 74.23

Suppose a family has saved enough for a 10 day vacation (the only one they will be able to take for 10 years) and has a utility
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2 Days

Explanation:

First, there is the need to rewrite the utility function for clarity

U=V^{1/2}

1. The Probability of Falling ill by someone in the family is given as 20%

2. If someone should fall ill, the total number of days that would be spoiled is calculated as:

Total number of vacation= 10 days x Probability to fall ill = 20%

= 10 x 0.2 = 2 days

This means if someone should fall ill based on the probability, then 2 out of the total 10 days can be ruined

3. The number of days for vacation days to enjoy is 10-2 = 8 days

This means if the family gives up 2 days of probable illness, they can still enjoy their vacation.

V= 2 days

An economy is operating with output $400 billion above its natural level, and fiscal policymakers want to close this expansionar
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: reduced by $80 billion

Explanation:

An expansionary gap is when the actual output is more than the potential output. From the question, we are told that an economy is operating with output $400 billion above its natural level, and fiscal policymakers want to close this expansionary gap and that the central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out.

We are also given the marginal propensity to consume is 4/5, and told that the price level is completely fixed in the short run.

To close the expansionary gap, the government would need to reduce its spending. To solve this, we have to calculate the multiplier. This will be:

Multiplier = 1/(1 - MPC)

= 1/(1 - 4/5)

= 1/1-0.8

= 1/0.2

= 5

Therefore, the government expenditure or spending will be reduced by:

= $400 billion/5

=$80 billion
