STatiana [176]

Answer:

$25 per batch

Explanation:

Combined final sales value:

= Sales value of refined sugar + Sales value of industrial fiber

= $65 + $65

= $130

Financial advantage:

= Combined final sales value - Further Processing - sugar beets costs - Cost to Crush

= $130 - ($17 + $21) - $54 - $13

= $130 - $38 - $54 - $13

= $25 per batch

Therefore, the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar is $25.

You and your spouse are in good health and have reasonably secure jobs. Each of you makes about $25,000 annually. You own a home

saveliy_v [14]

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.

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. Adviser A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5, and adviser B a

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

A. Advisor A was better because he generated a larger alpha.

Explanation:

To determine which adviser would be the better stock selector, we will calculate the required rate of return of each adviser and the return actually averaged. The adviser with the greater abnormal return, which is return in excess of required rate, will be the better stock selector.

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rM is the market return

r of Adviser A = 0.05 + 1.5 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r of Adviser A = 0.17 or 17%

Abnormal or excess return of Adviser A = 20% - 17% = 3%

r of Adviser B = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r of Adviser B = 0.146 or 14.6%

Abnormal or excess return of Adviser B = 15% - 14.6% = 0.4%

Adviser A performed better as the excessive return or alpha of Adviser A was 3% while that of Adviser B was 0.4%

When the price of good A rises from $11 to $33, the quantity of good A demanded decreases from 400400 to 200200 units a day a

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The price of good A is initially at $11.

The initial demand of A is 400 units.

The price increases to $33.

The demand of A , as a result, falls to 200 units.

The demand for good C is initially at 150 units.

With increase in price of A, the demand rises to 250 units.

The positive cross elasticity as given in the figure represents that the two goods are substitutes. When price of A increases, consumer will prefer its cheaper substitute. So, the demand for good C will increase.
