Answer:

Stocks and Bonds

Yes.  It is a rational behavior for individuals with a long-term investment horizon to choose to invest in bonds rather than investing in stocks despite the overwhelming "evidence that suggests that over long periods of time stocks still outperform bonds."

Rational behavior involves making rational choices that provide optimal levels of benefit or utility for the individual. People who make rational choices would rather choose bonds with lower risks and returns than stocks with higher risks and returns.

Explanation:

Every rational investor would prefer to reduce her risk exposure instead of increasing it.  Every investor is also aware that  investments with higher risks attract higher returns.  However, determining the certainty of the returns is difficult.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In December 2016​, Ashton budgeted 2017 ​assembly-support costs to be $8,300,000 and 2017 direct​ labor-hours to be 166,000.

With this information, we can calculate the budgeted indirect cost rate. <u>However, we can't calculate the actual indirect cost rate. I will provide the formula for both and a small example of the actual indirect cost rate.</u>

To calculate the budgeted indirect cost rate, we need to use the following formula:

Budgeted indirect cost rate= total estimated indirect costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Budgeted indirect cost rate= 8,300,000/166,000= $50 per direct labor hour.

Let's suppose that actual indirect cost was of 8,000,000 and actual direct labor hours of 175,000:

Actual indirect cost rate= total actual indirect costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Actual indirect cost rate= 8,000,000/175,000= $45.71 per direct labor hour

Quadcopters plans to sell a standard quadcopter ​(toy drone) for $ 55 and a deluxe quadcopter for $ 85. Funtime purchases the st
Harman [31]

Answer:

For break-even, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 238

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 238 = 476

to earn $7,700,  number of standard quadcopter sold should be 392

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 392 = 784

Explanation:

Given:

Selling cost of standard quadcopter = $55

Selling cost of deluxe quadcopter = $85

Purchasing cost of standard quadcopter = $45

Purchasing cost of deluxe quadcopter = $65

monthly fixed expenses = $ 11,900

Now,

let the number standard quadcopter sold be 'x'

thus, according to the question

the number deluxe quadcopter sold will be = 2x

also,

at break-even

total cost = total revenue

or

Total fixed cost + Total purchasing cost = Total revenue

or

$11,900 + ($45x + $65 × 2x) = $55x + $85 × 2x

or

$11,900 + $45x + $130x = $55x + $170x

or

$11,900 + $175x = $225x

or

$225x - $175x = $11,900

or

$50x = $11,900

or

x = 238

Hence,

For break-even, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 238

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 238 = 476

To earn $7,700

Earning = Total Revenue - Total cost

$7,700 = ( $55x + $85 × 2x ) - [$11,900 + ($45x + $65 × 2x)]

$7,700 = $225x - $11,900 - $175x

or

$7,700 + $11,900 = $50x

or

$50x = $19,600

or

x = 392

Therefore,

to earn $7,700,  number of standard quadcopter sold should be 392

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 392 = 784
