Which of the following protects the brokers commission

Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated

Ghella [55]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the overhead rate for each activity is as follows;

Overhead rate is

= Respective overhead cost ÷ Respective activity

For Machine setups

= ($202,800 ÷ 2,600 setups)

= $78 per setup

For Machining

= ($364,500 ÷ 24,300 machine hours)

= $15 per machine hour

For Inspection

= ($88,000 ÷ 1,600 inspections)

= $55 per inspection

In this way it is calculated

Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year:

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:These transactions combines will increase the Gross Domestic Products by +2500

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the Value of all goods and service produced within the boarders of the country over a period of time. Gross domestic product is measured in monetary terms. Gross domestic product can also be calculated as a total of all expenditures on goods and services in the economy.

we will now sow how these Transactions affect the gross domestic product

1. 50 cases of beer from a dutch distributor at $40 per case

When Dmitri (assuming he is in the United States) Purchases a 50 cases of beer abroad, Imports increase by $2000 ($40 x 50 cases)

Imports have a negative impact on the Gross domestic product, Therefore the Gross domestic product will decrease by $2000

-$2000 imports = -2000 Gross Domestic Product. ceteris pa

2.US Company sells 200 Transistors to a Spanish company at $15 per case

Exports increase Gross domestic product. When a US Company sells 200 transistors to a Spanish Company at a price of $15 per transistor, Exports will increase by $3000. When export increase Gross domestic product will also increase by -$3000 ceteris par

+$3000 export = + 3000 Gross Domestic Product.

3. Jake US Citizen pays $1500 for a laptop he orders from microell (a US company)

This transaction will increase Consumer's domestic consumption which is represent by a Variable denoted by C in the Consumption equation. When Jake pays $1500, Consumption increases by $1500 which also increases Gross domestic Product by $1500 ceteris pa

+$1500 Consumption = + $1500 Gross domestic product

Combined effect of these Transactions

Consumption + Investment + government spending + (export - import)= GDP

+$1500 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ($3000 - $2000) = + $2500

These transactions combines will increase the Gross Domestic Products by +2500

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. a.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

Identify whether the actions or scenarios would likely increase or decrease the natural rate of unemployment. You are currently

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

increases natural rate of unemployment

extra financial benefits for the unemployed

a large number of young people entering the labor force

an increase in union membership

Decreases natural rate of unemployment

reducing workers' collective bargaining rights

Explanation:

natural rate of unemployment is unemployment that exists when there is only structural and frictional unemployment in an economy

structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.

Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.

If the unemployed are given extra benefits, there would be less incentive to find a job, thus unemployment would increase

An increase in union membership increases bargaining power of employees. this can lead to increase in wages. increase in wages reduces demand for labour and this increases unemployment. reducing collective bargaining right has the opposite effect on unemployment

a large number of people entering the labour force increases frictional unemployment
