Answer: C. Idiosyncratic Risk

Explanation:

Idiosyncratic risk which is also referred to as UNSYSTEMATIC RISK is the inherent risk involved when a specific asset is invested in.

The risk affects that specific asset and not the rest of the portfolio or the market. Hence it is the OPPOSITE of SYSTEMATIC RISK as Systematic risk affects all companies.

Idiosyncratic risks are more rooted in individual companies (or individual investments). Investors can mitigate idiosyncratic risks by diversifying their investment portfolios.

A Stock being dependant on a keep figure falls under this type of risk as it is unique to a certain company.

Steve Jobs was considered the Visionary behind Apple and so when he was ill and finally died, Apple Stock kept going down but not by too much.

Bless his soul.

Katarina [22]

Answer: a. the benefits of adopting the new technology outweigh the costs of switching.

Explanation: Switching costs are defined as those cost the consumer pays as the result of changing brands or products, but can also be manifested in the form of time and effort spent during the switching process, the risk of disruption of business operations during the period of switching etc. and so therefore, switching costs can be monetary, psychological, effort-based, or time-based.

Companies with difficult-to-master products and low competition often times will use high switching costs to maximize profit by typically employing strategies that incur high switching costs on the consumer. Therefore, consumers will bear the costs of switching if the benefits of adopting the new technology outweigh the costs of switching.

If S3 is the market supply curve, then each firm in this market will earn an economic loss of ______ per week.
Ahat [919]

Answer: ($2,000)

Explanation:

With S3 as the supply curve, the equilibrium price is $10.

With this being a Perfectly competitive market, the profit maximising quantity will be where Price which is the same as Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost.

That quantity is 200 gallons a week.

At this same level, the Average Total Costs are $20.

Profit (Loss) = (Price - ATC) * Quantity

= (10 - 20) * 200

= ($2,000)

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

To record he partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2022

Dr Depreciation expenses              $7,500

      Cr Accumulated Depreciation  $7,500

(to record he partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2022)

(1) To record disposal as machine is sold for $45,500 cash

      Dr Cash                                         $45,500

      Dr Accumulated Depreciation     $52,500

         Cr Loss on asset disposal         $7,000

         Cr Machinery                              $105,000

(2) To record insurance settlement of $25,000 due to the machine’s total destruction in a fire:

      Dr Cash                                         $25,000

      Dr Accumulated Depreciation     $52,500

         Cr Loss on asset disposal         $27,500

         Cr Machinery                              $105,000            

Explanation:

The depreciation expense for each year is (105K-0)/7 = $15K => Half-year depreciation expenses = 15K/2 = $7.5K. Thus in Jul 1,2022, we need to book $7K of depreciation expenses for half-year expenses of 2020.

To Jul 1, 2022, the asset has been on book for 3.5 years, thus the accumulated depreciation relating to the asset is 3.5 x 15K = $52.5K which makes the net book value of the asset $52.5K.

So, the sold of asset at $45,500 will results to a loss of $7,000 (45.5K-52.5K) and the insurance settlement of $25,000 will results to a loss of $27,500 (25K - 52.5K)
