Answer:

Real Estate-Related Investments.

Explanation:

Real estate related investments involves the purchase, management, renting and sale of real estate properties with the aim of making profit.

Real estate investment is capital intensive and has low liquidity compared to other forms of investment.

This will be a good option for the conservative investor because real estate investment is stable and not prone to huge losses that can be incurred in the money markets. Also real estate is not affected by equities market. So will be a safety net in case of failure in the equity market.

Answer: Please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

Loss from operations = $500 000

Loss (sale of assets) = $1000 000 - $800 000 = $200 000

Income from continuing operations after tax = $2000 000, Therefore income from continuing operations before tax is equal to $200 000 x 100/60 = 3 333 333.333

Net Income before tax = 3 333 333.333  -  500 000 - 200 000

Net Income before tax == 2633 333.333

Net Income After Tax = 2633 333.333 x 60/100 = $1580 000

Income Statement

Income from continuing operations   3 333 333.333

Loss from operations                         - 500 000

Loss from sale of assets                    - 200 000

Net Income before Tax                       2633 333.333

Taxation                                              -1053 333.333

Answer:

c. consumption falls and investment rises

Explanation:

Answer:

The GDP will increase.

Explanation:

In this scenario, the GDP will increase based on two different effects. The first one is that the GDP will increase as a result of the married couple buying their vegetables at market prices instead of consuming what they normally produce in the household which is not accounted for in the GDP analysis.

The second reason for the increase in GDP is the sale of growing MORE corn and selling at Market price as against what they normally use the small farm for which was growing various crops for their own consumption and only selling the excess which only contributed little to GDP relatively.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. First period:

                                                        $1,000.00 + $50.00 = $1,050.00

2. Second period

                                                      $1,050.00  × 0.05 = $50.00 = $52.50

                                                     $1,050.00 + $52.50 = $1,102.50

For a one-year CD with an APR of 10%, compounded semi-annually, the balance in the account at the end of each compounding period is calculated by dividing the APR by 2 (to get the interest rate per compounding period), then applying this rate to the principal (and any previously accrued interest) at each period. The total balance at the end of the year is $1102.50

The question is asking about the interest accrued from a one-year CD with an APR of 10%, compounded semi-annually. The first step is to divide the APR by the number of compounding periods, which in this case is 2, giving a rate per period of 5%. Then we calculate the interest for each period.

For the first period, the calculation is $1000 x 0.05 = $50, thus the total balance after the first period (6 months) is $1050. The second period calculates the interest on this new balance. So for the second period, the calculation is $1050 x 0.05 = $52.50. Therefore, at the end of the year, the balance in the account is $1050 + $52.50 = $1102.50.

As a mode of trade for promoting trades, Money's most important function. Both trades, without capital, will need to be carried out with a barter that involves trading one good or another directly. The dilemma with a barter scheme is to provide a product or service of equivalent value, as the seller always desires, in order to receive the same good or service from a manufacturer.

Money also serves as a transaction unit to calculate the worth of the exchangeable products and services. In order to be able to determine the worth or quality of the product, both the manufacturer and the customer should agree the quantity to be supplied and the quantity of the good to be ordered.

Answer:

strong demand for investment funds will push interest rates upward.

Explanation:

Since the economy is booming, the demand for investment funds will be very large, even if the economy is not operating beyond its long run capacity. Just the mere fact that the economy is growing will result in an increase in the demand for money, and the price of money is interest. If the quantity demanded increases, then the price of money (interest rates) will also increase. This affects both the demand for investment funds and credit for consumption.

On the other hand, if the economy is declining, the demand for money decreases, resulting in lower interest rates.

Answer:

The answer is within the greater Denver area

Explanation:

The greater Denver area is just a medium to low populated region, this region is just developing, the audience to receive this ads will be so small and not likely to generate a large volume.

Answer:

You have placed so many filters that the possible audience is really going to be very small (in internet terms), so the ad will probably generate a low volume of leads.

If you want to generate a larger number of leads you should broaden your target audience, e.g. living in Colorado, no age requirement, no interest in fashion and not in the top 10% of income.

Answer:

$0.0224

Explanation:

First, determine the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 450 mL water from 20°C to 100°C.

density of water = 1 g/mL  

Use = AH = m(AT)Cp

AH (delta H) = amount of heat required

m = mass of water = 450 mL: (1g/mL) = 450 g

AT(delta T) = temperature difference = 100 - 20 = 80 °C

Cp = specific heat of water (from a table) = 4.18 J/g °C

So,  

AH  = 450 (80) (4.18) = 150 480 J = 150.48 kJ

Second, determine the heat ACTUALLY required

Since 50 % of heat produced (from combustion of methane) are used for water,

heat ACTUALLY required = 2 x 150.48 kJ = 300.96 kJ

Third, determine the amount of methane in the supply (in mole)

Assume ideal gas,

PV = nRT

P = 1.0 atm

V = 17 ft3 = 481.38 L

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K  

R = 0.082 1 L atm K−1 mol−1

n = PV/RT

so,

n = (1 x 481.38)/(293 x  0.0821) = 20.011 mol

Interpretation: 17 ft3 of methane supplied is equivalent to 20.011 mol methane (17 ft3/20.011 mol)

Fourth, determine the heat produced from combustion of methane

The combustion of methane gas is represented by the reaction:

CH4 (g)  +   2 O2 (g) CO2 (g)  +   2 H2O (g)  

heat of combustion =

[heat of formation of CO2 (g) + 2 x heat of formation of H2O (g)] -

[heat of formation of CH4 (g) + 2 x heat of formation of O2 (g)]

From the standard table:

= [ -393.5 kJ + 2x(-241.8 kJ)] - [-74.8 kJ + 2x(0 kJ)]

= - 802.3 kJ  

Interpretation: The combustion of 1 mole of methane produces 802.3 kJ, otherwise known as molar enthalpy (-802.3 kJ/mol)

Fifth, determine the amount of methane required from energy requirement for heating water

heat required = 300.96 kJ

So,  

methane required = 300.96 kJ (1mol/ 802.3 kJ) =  0.3751 mol

Sixth, determine the volume of methane required

Volume methane required = 0.3751 mol (17 ft3/20.011 mol)

= 0.3186 ft3

Finally, the cost required at price rate $1.20/17 ft3

Cost of methane =  0.3186 ft3 ($1.20/17 ft3) =  

$0.0224

Answer:

Centrally Planned Economy

Explanation:

A centrally planned economy, also known as a command economy, is an economic system in which a central authority, such as a government, makes economic decisions regarding the manufacturing and the distribution of products. Centrally planned economies are different from market economies, in which such decisions are traditionally made by businesses and consumers.

The production of goods and services in command economies is often done by state-owned enterprises, which are government owned companies. In centrally planned economies, which are sometimes referred to as "command economies", prices are controlled by bureaucrats.

Answer:

A centrally planned economy is the one where means of production, land,labor ,capital and entrepreneur are owned and controlled by the government

Explanation:

This is an opposite of free market economy where means of production are in the hands of private individuals who canvass for ways to increase their wealth  rather than providing basic services which are crucial to continued survival of the people as it is found under a centrally planned economy which is also known socialist economy.

There is imposition on the consumers rather than a situation where consumers are allowed to make their choices since government running a  business venture in a monopolistic way would not allow competitors to operate which might bring about increased efficiency.

Answer: True

Explanation: Gantt charts are normally built by applying an early start time strategy, where every work is organized to start shortly after the requirements are finished. This increases the quantity of time that a task can be delayed without resulting in a delay to the following tasks and the total work finished date. However, it records the works to be conducted on the vertical line and time on the horizontal line.

Answer: a. Higher than 100 units , price lower than $5 and Mr = price

Explanation:

Firms competing in perfect market conditions are Price Takers, the produce quantity at the level where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost. Since firms are price takers their Marginal Revenue is the Market Price P. They can only increase quantity if they want to earn more profit,  Therefore Price = Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost.

The Quantity will increase and the price will be lower than $5. Price = Marginal Revenue = Marginal cost. The Price will be $4

Final answer:

Under pure competition, the output would be higher than the monopolistic 100 units, the price would be lower than $5, and marginal revenue would equal the market price.

Explanation:

If a monopolist produces 100 units of output at a market price of $5 per unit with marginal revenue per unit equaling $4, we would expect that if the monopolist's good was provided under pure competition, quantity would be higher than 100 units, price lower than $5, and MR equal to price. This scenario corresponds to option (a): Higher than 100 units, price lower than $5, and MR = price. The reason for this is that under pure competition, firms cannot influence the market price by altering their output level; hence, the market price equals the marginal revenue (MR = P), and the quantity produced would be at the point where this price intersects the marginal cost (MC), which typically allows for a greater quantity than a monopolist would produce.

Answer:

In measuring return-on-investment (ROI) from sport sponsorships, companies have used all of the following methods except C. Q Scores scale.

Explanation:

Return on Investment (ROI) helps in determining whether the investment results in gain or loss. The gain or loss of amount is obtained based on the amount of money invested. ROI is used to compare the gain between the companies. ROI can help in deciding the personal financial transaction. Return on Investment is expressed in percentage.

Q score provides the information regarding the popularity of the brand, company, celebrity and entertainment product. Q score becomes high if the familiarity of the brand or company is high among people.

Companies measure the ROI from sport sponsorships using various methods, except periodic consumer surveys.

In measuring return-on-investment (ROI) from sport sponsorships, companies have used various methods, including periodic consumer surveys, professional research companies such as Sponsorship Research International (SRi), sales/promotion bounceback measures, and the QScores scale.

However, the method not mentioned in the question is A. periodic consumer surveys. While companies do use surveys to gather data on consumer attitudes and behavior, it is not specifically mentioned as an excluded method in measuring ROI from sport sponsorships.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. periodic consumer surveys.

Lead Generation and Conversion Rates: For companies looking to generate leads or conversions, they may track metrics like website sign-ups, inquiries, or purchases attributed to the sponsorship.

Surveys and Market Research: While not typically used to directly calculate ROI, companies may use surveys and market research to gather consumer feedback on brand perception, awareness, and association with the sponsorship.

Long-term Brand Loyalty and Recall: Companies may assess the long-term impact of the sponsorship on brand loyalty and recall through measures like customer retention rates and brand preference studies.

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Prospect theory.

Explanation:

Prospective theory belongs to behavioral economics and stands out as an alternative model to the expected utility theory, since the validity of the rational agent's neoclassical assumption is questioned. This theory was developed by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman and his collaborator Amos Tversky in his »Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk” (1979). They used the results obtained from both his own empirical observations, as of several experiments.

Individuals set preferences based on a specific situation and circumstances, rather than in absolute terms. This means that depending on their initial situation, agents will act in one way or another. One of the results of this reasoning leads to behavioral asymmetries between situations of possible losses or gains. Individuals, for example, are generally more risk averse than profit lovers. An endowment effect is also derived from this analysis, since the compensation required by someone to dispose of a good is greater than what they would be willing to pay to acquire it.

Answer:Expected value = - 94661.45

Explanation:

The Policy pay out is $95000 ,if a client is in life threatening accident insurance company will loose $95000, if the client is not in a life threatening accident the insurance company will gain $250

Probability (Client is in a threatening accident) = 0.999063

Probability (not in a life threatening accident)= 1 - 0.999063 = 0000937

Insurance Premium = $250

Insurance Payout = $95000

expected value = 0.999063 x (- (95000 - 250)) + 0.000937 x (250)

expected value = 0.999063 x (-94750) + 0.000937 x (250)

expected value = - 94661.21925 + 0.23425 = - 94661.44675

expected value = - 94661.45

Answer:

$160.75

Explanation:

the expected value of the policy will = (premium x probability of surviving) - (policy benefits x probability of dying)

the probability of surviving = 0.999063

the probability of dying = 0.000937

policy's expected value = ($250 x 0.999063) - ($95,000 x 0.000937) = $249.77 - $89.02 = $160.75

Explanation:

The correct option is C: establish first use of a trademark. In the United States, to claim ownership of a trademark, an individual must establish first use of the trademark in commerce.

In the United States, ownership of intellectual property rights related to trademarks is established primarily by proving first use, which means that an individual must establish first use of a trademark to claim ownership, according to the principle of 'prior use versus registration.' This is different from paying for the right or registering solely in one's home country. Establishing first use means that the trademark must be used in commerce and be recognizable by consumers as indicating the source of the goods or services.

Answer:

mid-calorie soft drinks such as Pepsi Next (2012) have not been successful in the past.

Explanation:

The new Pespsi true is a great product that offers the advantage of having the same flavor as Pepsi but lower calorie content of only 60 calories. This should sell well with consumers that are looking for lower calorie options.

However if there was a similar product like Pepsi True called Pepsi Next in 2012 that was mid-calories and was not successful, this could be a show stopper. People's perceptions of Pepsi Next will affect Pepsi True as they will feel it is just a repackaged Pepsi Next.

This will most likely lead to failure of the product similar to what happened with Pepsi Next.

A potential showstopper for Pepsi True is the bitter or licorice-like aftertaste of stevia when used in high concentrations. Some consumers might prefer the taste of regular Pepsi sweetened with sugar, and there may be skepticism about the safety of artificial sweeteners.

A potential showstopper for Pepsi True is likely to be the bitter or licorice-like aftertaste of stevia when used in high concentrations. Stevia, a sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia plant, has a slower onset and longer duration of taste compared to sugar. Some people may find this aftertaste unpleasant, which could be a potential drawback for the product. Additionally, although Pepsi True has only 60 calories, some consumers might prefer the taste of regular Pepsi sweetened with sugar. While the combination of sugar and stevia leaf extract provides the flavor of Pepsi, it may not be identical to the original taste due to the differences in sweetness profiles of these two sweeteners.

Lastly, some consumers may be skeptical about the safety of artificial sweeteners like stevia. While steviol glycosides in stevia are generally recognized as safe and have been approved for use by regulatory bodies, individual perceptions and concerns about artificial sweeteners can impact the acceptance and success of products like Pepsi True.

Answer:

A. $1.85

Explanation:

Producer surplus is the difference between how much an individual is willing to sell a good and how much they sell it at prevailing market prices.

Given that

Buyers are willing to pay = $2.95

Willing to sharpen 1st knife = $2.00

2nd knife = $2.25

3rd knife = $2.75

4th knife = $ 3.50

Therefore

Producer surplus = (2.95 - 2.00) + (2.95 - 2.25) + (2.95 - 2.75)

= 0.95 + 0.7 + 0.2

= $1.85

Note, the 4th knife is not included because what she's willing to collect is greater than what the buyer is willing to offer. So transaction doesnt take place.

Final answer:

Caroline's producer surplus is calculated by summing the differences between the market price she receives for each knife ($2.95) and what she's willing to accept. She would sharpen the first three knives, resulting in a total producer surplus of $1.85.

Explanation:

To calculate Caroline's producer surplus, we need to compare what she is willing to accept for each knife sharpened to what she actually receives. The producer surplus is the difference between the market price (what buyers are willing to pay) and the seller's cost (what the producer is willing to accept). The market price is given as $2.95 per knife.

Therefore, Caroline's total producer surplus is $0.95 + $0.70 + $0.20 = $1.85. Option A is correct .
