Answer:

(A) Stock A

Explanation:

A greater standard deviation is interpreted as a volatile stock. The price of the investment changes over time with a broad range, which is undesarible for the management of  investment portafolios. There is also a correlation between risk and estimated return, when the commercial activity related with the stock has a stable performance, is commonly secure, and that is the reason why is offered a low rate of return.

In comparision with the second option, the Stock A has a greater volatility and higher return rate.

Answer:

1

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

In a perfect monopoly, there is only one firm operating in the industry

In a  monopolistic competition, differentiated products are sold

In an oligopoly, there are few large firms

Number of years = n = 28 years

Discount rate = r = 7%

Present value = FV / ( 1 + r )^n

Present value = $398,930 / ( 1 + 0.07 )^28

Present value = $398,930 / 6.65

Present value = $59,989.47

A mark up is a percentage that is always applied on the cost to come up at a required gain over cost. The cost is always taken to be 100% when apply a mark up on cost.

If the mark up is of 27% and cost is 100% then a selling price of 22 will be equal to cost + markup.

Let cost be x.

Selling price = Cost + Mark up

22 = 100% * x + 27% * x

22 = 1x + 0.27x

22 = 1.27 x

22/1.27 = x

x = $17.3228 rounded off to $17.32
