In response to a shortage caused by the imposition of a binding price ceiling on a market,

a. price will no longer be the mechanism that rations scarce resources.

b. long lines of buyers may develop.

c. sellers could ration the good or service according to their own personal biases.

A binding price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price of a good or service below the equilibrium price.

When price of a good is set below the equilibrium price of the good, the producer surplus would decreases and the consumer surplus would increase. This would lead to an excess of demand over supply. As a result, a shortage would occur. As a result of the shortage, black markets would occur.

What aspect of project management was omitted from the PMI definition that is included in the definition proposed by Meredith an

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Fulfilling client expectations

Explanation:

Fulfilling client's expectations is one of the potent ways an organization can achieve its long term corporate objective. If I were on the PMI decision making body, I would not have outrightly voted for its inclusion. What I will do, however, is to:

1. fully gain an understanding of best practices and procedures that could be applied to achieve the client's expectations.

2. Prototype such procedures, practices and processes and assess its impact on the long term corporate objective.

3. The results from the foregoing will inform my decision.

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta of th

pentagon [3]

Answer (A):

Need more data to select the better adviser

Explanation: 

Adviser A averaged 19% return on the investment which is more than that of Adviser B who averaged 16% return on investment. However, adviser A has a beta of 1.5 which is also greater than that of Adviser B who has a beta of 1. This means that adviser A made a more riskier investment and hence a higher average return on investment. We need more data to tell which adviser performed better in relation to each other.

Answer (B):

Investment Adviser B

Explanation:

$R_{f}$ = T-bill rate = 6%

$R_{m}$ = Market return = 14%

$R_{m} - R_{f}$ = Market risk premium = 14% - 6% = 8%

$ER_{a}$ = Average Return by Adviser A =19%

$\beta _{a}$ = Beta of Adviser A = 1.5

$ER_{b}$ = Average Return by Adviser B =16%

$\beta _{b}$ = Beta of Adviser B = 1

CAPM Equation is $ER_{i} = R_{f} +\beta (R_{m} - R_{f} ) +\alpha$

For Adviser A

$ER_{i}$ = 6 + 1.5 (14 - 6) = 18%

The expected average return for the investment is 18% which means that Adviser A over performed the market by 1 %

For Adviser B

$ER_{i}$ = 6 + 1 (14 - 6) = 14%

The expected average return for the investment is 14% which means that the Adviser B over performed the market by 2 %

Clearly, Adviser B performed better than Adviser A.

Answer (C):

Adviser B

Explanation:

In this part, the $R_{f} = 3 %$ and $R_{m} = 15%$

All else remains the same

We make similar calculation as in part B

In economics, the short run is the time frame in which ______ and the long run is the period of time in which ______. A. the

Answer:the quantities of some factors of production are fixed; the quantities of all factors of production can be varied - D

Explanation:

In the short run, some factors of production are fixed, which is usually the capital. Therefore for a company to increase output, it would need employ more workers, but would not increase capital.

Therefore in the short run, we can get diminishing marginal returns, which may cause marginal costs to start increasing quickly.

Also, in the short run, prices and wages fall out of equilibrium because a sudden rise in demand may lead to higher prices, and companies may not have the the capacity to respond and increase supply.

Long run

In the long run, usually greater than 6 months, all main factors of production are variable. The company has time to build a bigger one making it respond to changes in demand which means that a sudden rise in demand, would have a complimentary increase in supply to meet the demands and prices can be adjusted.

Zoe takes out a discounted loan for $1,200 at a simple interest rate of 6%, but only receives $1,020 into her bank account. What

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: 35 months

Explanation:

Interest to be paid = 1,200 - 1,020

= $180

This means that;

180 = 1,020 * 0.06 * t

61.2t = 180

t = 2.94 years

In months

= 2.94 * 12

= 35.28

= 35 months
