Answer:

Explanation:

The Malthus theory states that population should be controlled because there are no enough resources to please the future needs. This is how it works: in the short-run there is a change in technology that leads to an increase in income. Because people have more income, better life standards, the birth rate increases and exceeds the death rate. In the long-run total income would have to be distributed between more people than before and the economy reaches the equilibrium again, in which the birth rate equals the death rate.

In other words, econmic success becomes a reproductive success.

You decide to form a portfolio of the following amounts invested in the following stocks. What is the expected return of the por

cluponka [151]

Answer: Expected return of the portfolio = 14,70%

Explanation: First we must add the amounts to calculate the total capital:

1000 + 7000 + 6000 + 6000 = $20000

The performance of a portfolio is given by the sum of each individual expected return weighted by its weight in capital.

Therefore we must calculate the weight (w) of each type of action:

W (apple) = 1000 / 20000 = 0,05

W (microsoft) = 7000 / 20000 = 0,35

W (ford) = 6000 / 20000 = 0,30

W (time warner) = 6000 / 20000 = 0,30

Expected return of the portfolio : (0,1050 . 0,05) + (0,1690 . 0,35) + (0,1575 . 0,30) + (0,1180 . 0,30) = 0,14705 = 14,70%

dybincka [34]

Answer: Debit overhead expenses $78,530 Credit wages payable $78,530

Explanation: The $78,530 was arrived at by adding all the wages amount ($620 + $910 + $77 000). Recognizing the journals as compound entries means the total amount of the wages would be used instead of simply recognizing the debits and credits for each wage amount.

Since the wages have been incurred but not paid, a payable has to be recognized. When payment is eventually to be made, it would be from the payable account by way of debiting the payable account and crediting cash.
