Answer: c. Marginal Cost

Explanation:

A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.

P = MR = AR

Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.

If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.12.7%

Explanation:

Expected return: It is used to calculate the expected value of the formula

In this question, the formula should be used which is shown below:

Expected return = Return of portfolio × Probability of portfolio

So,

For Recession, the expected return would be equal to

= -72 × 9% = -6.48%

For below average, the expected return would be equal to

= -15 × 16% = -2.4%

For average, the expected return would be equal to

= 16 × 51% = 8.16%

For above average, the expected return would be equal to

= 35 × 14% = 4.9%

For boom, the expected return would be equal to

= 85 × 10% = 8.5%

Now, do the sum of all states of the economy, so that the solution can arrive.

So, the answer would be

= -6.48% + (-2.4%) +8.16% +4.9% + 8.5%

= 12.68% round off = 12.7%

Thus, the Stock A's expected return is 12.7%

And, the correct answer is b.12.7%

dangina [55]

Answer:

$82,580

Explanation:

We can calculate the estimated amount of inventory destroyed in the flood by deducting the cost of goods sold by the cost of goods available for sale.

DATA

Beginning Inventory = $215,950

Inventory purchased = $192,730

Sales = $543,500

Calculation

Inventory destroyed Iestimated) = Cost of Goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold

Inventory destroyed Iestimated) = $408,680 - $326,100

Inventory destroyed Iestimated) = $82,580

Working

Cost of Goods available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Inventory purchased

Cost of Goods available for sale = $215,950 + $192,730

Cost of Goods available for sale = $408,680

Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross Profits

Cost of Goods Sold = $543,500 - ($543400 x 40%)

Cost of Goods Sold = $ 326,100

Which of the following is true regarding primary and secondary markets? A. Secondary markets sell old issues of securities.noth

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

A. Secondary markets sell old issues of securities.

Explanation:

The primary market is one in which the securities of a new issuance of the company are traded directly between the company and the investors. Securities and shares traded in the primary market may have long maturities. If the holder wants to renegotiate this type of security, he or she may resort to the secondary market.

The secondary market is where investors trade and transfer among themselves the securities that were issued by companies in the primary market, ie, where old securities are traded. It is an environment created to provide liquidity to securities issued in the primary market.
