Answer
Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 was: $1,450
Explanation
Revenue = $2,100
Retained Earnings Closing Balance = $1,850
Expenses = $1,150
Dividends = $550
Retained Earnings Closing Balance = Revenue - Expenses - Dividends + Retained Earning Beginning Balance
$1,850 = $2,100 - $1,150 - $550 + Retained Earning Beginning Balance
Retained Earning Beginning Balance = $1,450

Any entity that wishes to exploit foreign markets must of necessity determine the suitability of the country's market and its economy. To achieve this aim, entities engaging in foreign direct investments consider some factors. One of them is the country's attractiveness. A country is attractive or not depending on the following elements, among others: market size, growth of market size, per capita income, population and age distribution, existence and enforcement of contract laws, and political openness. These considerations are important to avoid regrets, including over-exposure to country risks.
Answer:
$88,150
Explanation:
DINK method for insurance sums one half of all the debt plus funeral expenses. Thus,
Using DINK method
One half of mortgage, 140,000 = 70000
One half of car loan, 14000 = 7000
One half of personal debts, 4800 = 2400
One half of credit card loans, 3500 = 1750
Funeral expenses = 7000
Thus
Total insurance needed =
70000 + 7000 +2400 + 1750 + 7000
= $88,150
Note that, when using DINK method, what the spouse earn isn't used in calculating total insurance.
What you’re talking about is Beta. Beta is the ratio of how much a stock changes relative to the market as a whole (NYSE, NASDAQ)
A Beta of 2.0 means it changes (up/down) twice as much as the general market (Dow, S & P, NAS), such as the twitchy, hyper reactive tech stocks ( FAANG’s and also boom-or-bust Big Oil). In other words, high Standard Deviations.
A Beta of 0.5 means it changes (up/down) half as much as the general market. Sleepy blue chips such as GE, AT&T or power utilities fall in that category. Low Standard Deviations
Most stocks by definition pretty much track the market (Beta 1.0) so there are a lot of those. Middling Standard Deviations
So…it is dictated by your risk tolerance.
