A stock has a correlation with the market of 0.46. The standard deviation of the market is 29%, and the standard deviation of the stock is 37%. What is the stock's beta?
Answer:
Beta = 0.586896 rounded off to 0.59
Explanation:
A beta is a measure of the systematic risk of the stock. The systematic risk is the risk associated with the stock which cannot be diversified and is due to the market factors. This is why it is also known as the market risk. The beta of a stock can be calculated using the correlation of a stock with the market and the standard deviation of the stock and the market. The formula for beta is,
Beta = Correlation of stock with market * (SD Stock / SD market)
Where,
SD refers to the standard deviationBeta = 0.46 * (0.37 / 0.29)
Beta = 0.586896 rounded off to 0.59

Adison Winery had beginning long-term debt of $39,476 and ending long-term debt of $44,875. The beginning and ending total debt balances were $48,835 and $53,888, respectively. The company paid interest of $4,327 during the year. What was the company's cash flow to creditors?

Answer:

If the economy moves to point A, it would be giving up
51 - 50 = 1 oranges

Mars Venus
Food Clothing Food Clothing
0 30 0 40
2 24 4 32
4 18 8 24
5 12 12 16
8 6 16 8
10 0 20 0

c. Mars should specialize in the production of clothing.
d.Venus has the comparative advantage in clothing.
e. Mars has an absolute advantage in the production of food.
Answer:
The correct option is;
c. Mars should specialize in the production of clothing
Explanation:
The given table can be presented as follows;
Mars[tex]{}[/tex] [tex]{}[/tex]Venus
Food [tex]{}[/tex] Clothing Food [tex]{}[/tex] Clothing
0 [tex]{}[/tex] 30 0 [tex]{}[/tex] 40
2 [tex]{}[/tex] 24 4 [tex]{}[/tex] 32

5 [tex]{}[/tex] 12 12 [tex]{}[/tex] 16
8 [tex]{}[/tex] 6 16 8
10 0 20 [tex]{}[/tex] 0
From the attached chart as produced in Excel, the trend lines and their equation for Mars and Venus can be seen
The relationship between Clothing, y and Food, x production for Mars is given as follows;
y = -3·x + 30
The relationship between Clothing, y and Food, x production for Venus is given as follows;
y = -2·x + 40
Therefore since a given decrease in food production results in a higher increase in Cloth production for Mars than for Venus, Mars should specialize in the production of clothing.

An economist estimated that the price elasticity of demand for new cars to be 0.87 if the price of cars declines by 40%. One would expect the quantity of new cars to:______
Answer:
% change in quantity =34.8%
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.
Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic
PED is computed as follows:
PED = % change in quantity /% change in Price
PED = 0.87
% change in Price = 40%
% change in Quantity =?
0.87 = y/40%/
Cross mulitiplying, we have
y = 0.87 × 40 = 34.8
Dividing both sides by 0.87
y = 34.8
% change in quantity = 34.8
% change in quantity =34.8
What is one reason that individual producers in a perfectly competitive market have no influence over prices?
Perfectly competitive firms collectively agree on prices.
Perfectly competitive firms must follow governmental price controls that keep prices low.
Perfectly competitive firms have high barriers to entry.
Perfectly competitive firms produce a small amount of a product compared to the total supply
Answer:
Un mercado competitivo es un mercado de competencia perfecta en donde el número de oferentes y demandantes es tan exorbitante que ninguno posee influencia sobre el otro, ninguna de las partes posee poder de mercado y las barreras para la entrada y salida no existen, el costo marginal de cada empresa se iguala al precio y cada empresa vende todas las unidades que desea y puede a ese precio.
Explanation:
s importante recordar que una situación de monopolio -o monopolista- se da cuando existe un único proveedor de un determinado bien o servicio.
Para detectar la presencia de un monopolio en la economía generalmente se recurre a la aplicación de índices económicos de concentración de mercado, dependiendo del criterio que tome el Índice asumimos que existe o no poder monopólico en un determinado mercado, y de existir...qué tan grande es.
Entre los más usados tenemos los siguientes:
El Índice de Herfindahl, el cual para calcularlo se eleva al cuadrado la cuota de mercado que una empresa posea en un determinado sector para saber qué tanto poder de monopolio posee la misma. Entre mayor sea el resultado de dicho índice, mayor será el poder de monopolio, y menos competitivo será el mercado.
Por otro lado, el otro indicador usado para estudiar la presencia o no de monopolios es el Índice de Lerner. Dicho índice consiste en evaluar qué tanto el empresario puede colocar el precio por encima del costo marginal (es decir, lo que le cuesta producirlo), y arrojará un valor que oscilará entre 0 y 1, entre más poder de monopolio posea, el número se acercará más a 1, y más capacidad tendrá de colocar el precio muy por encima de su costo.
Es importante recordar que existen monopolios naturales (concesiones que otorga el Estado para la explotación de un determinado recurso) o que están en manos del Estado, como las fuerzas armadas por ejemplo, o determinados servicios públicos. También comúnmente una característica de presencia de monopolio son los conglomerados empresariales que poseen empresas en determinados rubros y arropan un poder de mercado significativo.
Answer:

Explanation:
one reason that individual producers in a perfectly competitive market have no influence over prices
The economy is in a recession and the government wants to increase output. If the multiplier equals 3 and the government increases spending by 250, how much will output increase by
Answer:
The answer is 750
Explanation:
When government increases its spending, this increase in spending leads to increases in income for households which cumulatively increase the national income, this effect is known as multiplier effect.
Government has increased its spending by 250 while multiplier effect is 3.

Salt Corporation, a 80%-owned subsidiary of Peanut Corporation, sold inventory items to its parent at a $48,000 profit in 20X2. Peanut resold one-third of this inventory to outside entities. Salt reported net income of $200,000 for 20X2. Non-controlling interest share of consolidated net income that will appear in the income statement for 20X2 is:
Answer:
$33,600
Explanation:
Calculation for the Non-controlling interest share.
Using this formula
Non-controlling interest share=Net income-(Inventory ×One-third of Inventory)× Percentage of Subsidiary
Let plug in the formula
Non-controlling interest share=$200,000-($48,000×2/3)×(100%-80%)
Non-controlling interest share=$200,000-$32,000×20%
Non-controlling interest share=$168,000×20%
Non-controlling interest share=$33,600
Therefore the Non-controlling interest share of consolidated net income that will appear in the income statement for 20X2 is $33,600
