Answer:
Remain open-minded
Explanation:
The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 13%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. What will be the market price of the security if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
Answer: New Market price =$29.55
Explanation:
Using the CAPM,Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM formule , The expected return on stock is given as
Er = Rf +β( Mr)
which means
Expected return = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
13%= 4% +beta (6%)
beta= 13%-4%/6%=0.13-0.04 /0.06
beta= 1.5
The dividend expected to be paid is given as
Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return
= 50 X 13%
= $6.5
Now, if beta doubles, Expected return becomes
Er = Rf + 2β( Mr)
Er= 4% + 2 x 1.5( 6%)
=4%+ 3.0( 6%)
0.04 + 0.18
Er = 0.22 = 22%
New Market price
Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return
Price = Expected dividend, D/Expected return
= $6.5/0.22
=$29.55

Required:
Prepare a flexible budget performance report for July that includes revenue and spending variances and activity variances.
Answer:
1. Revenue and Spending Variance
Revenue = (19,380 - 16,400) = 2980 U
Expenses
Wages & Salaries = 8,559 - 8,525 = 34 U
Fuel = 1,870 - 1,938 = 68 F
Airport Fees = 2,808 - 2,693 = 115 U
Aircraft Depreciation = 0 None
Office Expenses = 287 - 455 = 168 F
Total Expenses = 87 F
Net Operating Income = 5,275 - 2,114 = 3161 U
2. Activity Variances
Activity Variances are used to compare revenue and cost item between the planning budget and flexible budget of the company.
Revenue = 18,700 - 19,380 = 680 U
Expenses
Wages and salaries = 8,385 - 8,559 = 174 U
Fuel = 1,870 - 1,938 = 68 U
Airport fees = 2,740 - 2,808 = 68 U
Aircraft depreciation = 495 - 513 = 18 U
Office expenses = 285 - 287 = 2 U
Total expense = 330 U
Net operating income = 4,925 - 5,275 = 350 U

While intangible assets have no physical shape or size, they pack lots of power for your business. If you and your employees have worked hard to create trademarks, patents, or copyrights, for example, you can use these assets in several ways to grow your business or increase business profit.
What are Intangible Assets?
An Intangible Asset is a business asset which has no material substance. Intangible assets can be found in all areas of a business. For example:
Technology, like technical manuals, engineering processes, computer software
Customer relationships,
Contracts, franchises, licenses, and permits
Trained and competent workers (called workforce in place)
Some intangible assets are intellectual property. That is, they are specifically created by individuals and protected by laws from being stolen. Examples of intellectual property are trademarks, service marks, copyrights, and patents.
Customer relationships, including goodwill (the value of customer relationships),
Trade secrets, brand recognition, and proprietary business processes ("the way we do things in this company")
Marketing and advertising campaigns and materials
Location-related assets like land, water, and mineral rights.
How to Use Intangible Assets
Selling Intangible Assets
Some general intangibles, like business processes, can be packaged and sold. Create and sell a book on "the way we do things at XYZ company," with examples of how you did it. You don't have to give away all of your trade secrets, though. Just those that can be translated into other types of businesses.
You can also sell a copyright. Musicians often sell a music copyright, but more often they license the rights. These licenses are called Creative Commons Licenses.
Use Them to Increase Value in the Sale of Your Business
Goodwill is an important asset in the sale of a business. In a business sale, particularly one in which you are selling the business as a going concern, goodwill is the difference between the fair market price or book value of all the business assets and the sale price.
Other general intangible assets and intellectual property may also be valued and included in the selling price of a business.
License or Assign Assets Like Patents, Copyrights, and Trademarks
If your business has patents or trademarks, you can license the patent rights to someone, who can produce products from them. You can receive royalties on a continuing basis and set up criteria for use of the products made from these assets.
You may also want to consider assigning an asset, as a permanent sale.
Amortize Intangible Assets
Amortization is a calculation which allows you to spread out the expense of an intangible asset over its useful life, instead of capitalizing it in just one year. Amortization works like depreciation. Having expenses in several years allows you to reduce your business income during these years, thus reducing your business tax bill.
Under Section 197 of the Internal Revenue Code, the IRS designates certain intangible assets that can be amortized over 15 years and other intangible assets which cannot be amortized. The complete list is on Section 197 Intangible Assets.
Getting Help from an Intellectual Property Attorney
For most of these ways to use your intangible assets, you will need to hire a special attorney called an intellectual property lawyer, who can help you navigate the tricky world of selling and licensing.
Disclaimer: The information in this article, and on this site, is general in nature and is not intended to be tax or legal advice. Every business is unique, and intellectual property laws and regulations change frequently. Seek legal and tax advice before making decisions that might affect your business.

When there is an excess supply of money in the economy, there is also an excess demand for bonds.
This is because in his case, rather than holding money, individuals will want to increase their being holdings and therefore, this will lead to the reduction in their holding of money. Equilibrium will further be restored as there'll be reduction in interest rate.
Jammer Company uses a perpetual weighted average inventory system and reports the following: August 2 Purchase 17 units at $15.00 per unit. August 18 Purchase 19 units at $13.00 per unit. August 29 Sale 34 units. August 31 Purchase 22 units at $18.00 per unit. What is the per-unit value of ending inventory on August 31?
Answer:
Weighted-average ending inventory cost= $17.75
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total cost of ending inventory:
August 2= 17*15= 255
August 18= 19*13= 247
August 29= (19*13 + 15*15)= (472)
August 31= 22*18= 396
Total ending inventory= $426
Now, the weighted average cost per unit of ending inventory:
Ending inventory in units= 24
Weighted-average ending inventory cost= (426/24)
Weighted-average ending inventory cost= $17.75
When a liquidity trap situationâ exists, we knowâ that:_____.a. fiscal policy will have no effect on the demand for goods.b. an open market operation will have no effect on the interest rate.
c. expansionary monetary policy will be deflationary.
d. fiscal policy will have no effect on the demand for goods.
e. an open market operation will have no effect on the monetary base.
Answer:
b. an open market operation will have no effect on the interest rate
Explanation:
In any situation of of liquidity trap, money demand curve is always almost flat. As a result of this, a shift in the money supply curve (resulting from an open market operation) does not cause much or any change in the market interest rate. An open market operation can affect the money supply even during liquidity trap. The monetary base in affected, without exception, when an open market operation takes place. An expansionary monetary policy increases price levels and is therefore never deflationary. It is the monetary policy, not the fiscal policy, that is rendered ineffective in the case of liquidity trap.

The inability to physically possess artificial intelligence as it delivers service represents which fundamental difference of marketing services?
Answer:
The fundamental difference in marketing services referred to here is the tangibility of product vs the intangiblity of service.
Explanation:
There are two broad categories of marketing:
Product MarketingService MarketingThe big difference between the two is that the former is tangible whilst the latter is not.
The intangibility of service makes it harder (but not impossible) for the marketer to find a tangible element to which the consumer can connect to the brand.
Intangibility also means that (unlike a tangible product) it will be difficult for a consumer to return a service like that which has been rendered by AI. What any businesses do when a customer is not satisfied with a service is to do a refund. However, in a product scenario, the loss for a product returned is less than that of a refund for service because a defective product can always be fixed.

1) Suppose that GDP is $10,000, Consumption is $6,000, and Government spending is $1,500 with a deficit of $200. (Assume net exports are zero) What is the level of private saving in this economy?
d) 2,700GDP = C + (G - deficit) + I + NX
GDP = $10,000
C = $6,000
G - deficit = $1,300
NX = $0
$10,000 = $6,000 + $1,300 + I
I = $2,700
2) The population of Scottsdale is 100 people. 40 people work full time, 20 work half time but prefer to work full time, 10 are seeking work, 10 would like to work but are discouraged from seeking, 10 are full time students without a desire to work while in school, and 10 are retired. What is the unemployment rate?
14.29%total work force = 40 (working full time) + 20 (working part time) + 10 (not working but seeking a job) = 70 people

Lydia promised to pay Lavinia $10,000 if she stopped smoking for 1 year. Lavinia stopped and brought suit when Lydia failed to pay. Who will win?A. Lydia will win because she received no actual benefitB. Lydia will win because Lavinia incurred no actual detrimentC. Lydia will win because Lavinia incurred no legal detrimentD. Lavinia will win because Lydia received a legal benefit
Answer:
D. Lavinia will win because Lydia received a legal benefit
Explanation:
In this case, Lavinia is the promisee, since Lydia (the promisor) promised to give her $10,000 if she stopped smoking. Lavinia incurred in a legal detriment when she stopped smoking, simply because she has the smoke if she wants to. Personally, I consider smoking a bad habit, but anyone that smokes is free to do so as long as they comply with the law. A legal detriment is always paired with a legal benefit, even if the action doesn't actually result in a tangible benefit to Lydia.
