Answer:

c. Systematic risk.

Explanation:

Risk that affects a large number of assets, each to a greater or lesser degree, is called systematic risk.

This ultimately implies that, a systematic risk is practically impossible to predict, as well as to be avoided completely by business owners or companies. One of the most effective ways to mitigate a systematic risk is through the use of a correct asset allocation technique or through hedging but diversification of risks wouldn't reduce or mitigate a systematic risk.

Some examples of systematic risks includes changes to law, hike in interest rates, tax reforms, natural disasters such as flooding, earthquake, bushfire, bank failures, change of foreign policy etc.

Steven consumes only two goods, both of which are normal goods. He is currently maximizing his utility in consumption of both go

zzz [600]

Answer:

The answer is: remain the same

Explanation:

The marginal utility of a good or service is how much better we feel when consuming an extra unit of that good or service. For example if we are very thirsty, the marginal utility of consuming a can of Coke is very large, but once our thirst is quenched, an extra can of Coke will not provide use with that much satisfaction as before.

If the price of a substitute good increases, the marginal utility of the good whose price didn't change, will remain the same.

Let's go back to the Coke example. An extra can of Coke will give me 5 more satisfaction units (I'm assuming I can measure satisfaction) and an extra slice of pizza will give me 7 more units of satisfaction. If the price of Coke increases from 50 cents to $1, its marginal utility will decrease. I will buy more pizza because the satisfaction I get from drinking Coke is now smaller.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Inventory= $251,540

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Swifty Company took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $203,600 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $25,420 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, f.o.b. shipping point, and $22,520 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $32,230, f.o.b. destination.

Both the purchase and the sale must be accounted for in inventory. The purchase is FOB shipping point, therefore it is responsibility os Swifty. The sale was made FOB destination, as it is in transit, it is the responsibility of Swifty.

Inventory= 203,600 + 25,420 + 22,520= $251,540

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

$76,100 net operating loss

Explanation:

The computation of the overall company net operating income (loss) is shown below:

= East sales - east Variable costs - east Traceable fixed costs - east Allocated common corporate costs - west Allocated common corporate costs

= $550,000 - $198,000 - $169,500 - $117,500 - $141,100

= -$76,100 loss

Since the west division is eliminated so all the items would be ignored except Allocated common corporate costs

A new truck is purchased on January 1, 20X6. The truck cost $10,000, has a 5-year life, and a $2,000 residual value. Given a Dec

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

20X9 depreciation expense is $160

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 5 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 20%.

Under the double-declining-balance method the 20% straight line rate is doubled to 40% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.

In 20X6, depreciation expense = 40% x $10,000 = $4,000

At the beginning of the year 20X7, the truck cost's book value is $10,000-$4,000 = $6,000

In 20X7, depreciation expense = 40% x $6,000 = $2,400

In 20X8, depreciation expense = 40% x ($10,000 - $4,000 - $2,400) = $1,440

Accumulated depreciation at December 31 20X8 = $4,000 + $2,400 + $1,440 = $7,840

Book value at December 31 20X8 = $10,000 - $4,000 - $2,400 - $1,440 = $2,160

In 20X9, depreciation expense = $10,000 - $2,000 - $7,840 = $160

The 20X9 depreciation expense was $160 which is less than the actual $864 (40% of $2,160). It was done to keep the residual value as estimated ($2,000)
