Answer:

The return after taxes is 7.9%

Explanation:

At the start of the year the portfolio is valued at $365,000.

At the end, his portfolio has returns by dividends ($3,579), interests ($2,783) and portolio's valuation (389,648-365,000=$24,648).

The tax is applied to the dividends and interests, as:

Tax = 0.35 * (3579+2783) = 0.35*6362 = $2,226.70

We can then calculate the investor's return as

R = profit after taxes / initial portfolio valuation

R = ((3579 + 2783 - 2226.70)+24648)/365000

R= 28,783.30 / 365,000 = 0.079 = 7.9%

A. Suppose the wages of computer-factory workers rises. This will cause (the supply / the demand) of tablet computers to (shift

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Supply, shift in , rise fall

the demand, shift in, fall ,fall

supply , shift out fall, rise

the demand , shift out rise rise

the demand shift in fall fall

Explanation:

If the wages of factory worker increases, it becomes more expensive to hire workers, the cost of production increases and the demand for labour would fall. as a result, production would fall and the supply of tablets would fall. a decrease in supply leads to an inward shift of the supply curve. as a result of the fall in supply, quantity would fall and there would be a rise in price.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good. If the price of notebooks falls, it becomes cheaper to purchase notebooks, so the quantity demanded of notebooks would rise and the demand for tablets would fall since it is cheaper to buy a tablet. the demand curve for tablets would shift in as a result of the fall in demand. As a result, price and quantity of tablets would fall.

Increase in the number of manufactures would lead to an increase in supply. this would cause a rise in the supply of tablets. when there is a rise in supply, the supply curve shifts out, prices fall and quantity increases.

the new game would increase demand for tablets because people would be interested in playing the game. as a result of the rise in demand, the demand curve would shift out, the quantity would rise and prices would rise

A complement is a good that is consumed together with another good. if the price of apps rise, it would become more expensive to buy apps as result the demand for tablets would fall. the demand curve would shift in and price and quantity would fall
