The Relationship between Risks and Rate of Returns

The risk and rate of return, as discussed in business, are directly proportional. It means that as the risk increases, the rate of return increases while as the risk declines, the rate of return decreases as well (Christoffersen, 2012). Therefore, an individual willing to invest must take a decision based on both the risk and rate of return analysis to achieve a high return at a lower risk. Investors are likely to prefer investment decisions that yield high rates of return at minimal risks. The term risk defines the capability of acquiring loss below a person’s investigations. On ...

It is one of the ironies of history that the “old west” was actually the last area of the north American continent to be settled. By 1860, for example, San Francisco, California was a booming city of 56,802 persons making it the 15th largest city in the nation (San Francisco Population). Kansas City, meanwhile, had a population of 4,418 (U.S. Census Bureau). Denver, Colorado was already the “Queen City of the Plains” with a population of 4,749 (Population of Denver, CO). These three communities are important since Denver and Kansas City represent the western and eastern ...

Based on Turner’s point of view, the Americans became Americans since their expansion towards the West. Geographically, it is agreeable that the Americans have separated themselves from Europe, but they may not have been completely separated ideologically. Going to the main point of this essay, the Americans not only gained their own identity because they moved to the West, but more so because of the mixed cultures, merging of ideologies, adaptation of the ways of living, and sharing of some political principles. Although the frontier has ended as officially announced in notes of 1890 Census, influences such as ...

Within the economic environment, the production possibility frontier theory reveals that companies and countries are limited to a specific volume of production especially with the type of technology available to them (Becerra, 2009, p.12). Huff et al. (2009, p.81) revealed that countries usually have a limited number of products that they can produce within their manufacturing facilities due to raw materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead constraints (Huff et al., 2009, p.81). Therefore the maximization of the production possibility frontier of each country or firm is primarily based on the available resources as well as its production experience (Becerra, 2009, ...

Wild West was fundamentally the American Frontier. Contrary to the popular opinion the Wild West was not truly wild as portrayed in the Hollywood movies. The history of west is laden with conquests, hence it never truly escaped this aspect of human behavior. The portrayal has been such that the hardy settlers were power hungry plunderers, as if they were always on the hunt of resources and means to control the human population (Anderson & Hill, 2004). Despite the exaggeration about the Wild West there are certain elements that have led to the fantasized version of the west. Many famous ...

Introduction The work of history and historians isn’t a simple one. Historians must find sources, analyze them, think about them and decide which stories are worth telling and which ones should be left in the background or completely ignored. This function which can easily be summed up as representation is the hardest part of the historian’s job and something which has changed a lot in the past few decades. History writing in recent years has changed its focus from a top-down perspective where the decisions of the privileged, powerful connected few are explored and analyzed to the ...

Suppose that there are two products: clothing and soda. Both Brazil and the United States produce each product. Brazil can produce 100,000 units of clothing per year and 50,000 cans of soda. The United States can produce 65,000 units of clothing per year and 250,000 cans of soda. Assume that costs remain constant. For this example, assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) is a straight line for each country because no other data points are available or provided.

Such diseases were the main reason for a drastic fall in the human population of the Native Americans. Indian people lacked the necessary measures to curb themselves against Europeans viruses which caused the ailments. Such outbreaks among the Americans’ history called the “virgin soil epidemics” led to a drastic population reduction of nearly ninety percent which was ...

While America is still a relatively new country in comparison to many, it has a long and deep history. The question to look at is what exactly that history is. The aspects of American history that one learns or is taught are as diverse as those who inhabit the country. Considering that America has been called a melting pot, meaning it brings together many differing cultures, religions and races, there is a myriad of lenses which one can view this country. Often the history taught is white-washed, meaning it is through the perspective of the white man. This creates ...

Is the U.S Southern Border patrol Effective?

Abstract The primary role of the United States border patrol is to detect and prevent illegal aliens from getting into the country.

Critical Thinking

The 1803 purchase of Louisiana from France had a profound effect on America; it not only changed the geography of the country but also its social, political and economic pillars. The purchase, which occurred during the term of President Thomas Jefferson, had the effect of almost doubling the landmass of America (Fleming, 46). It would be interesting to evaluate America's continental and global position had the purchase not taken place. This is especially the case given that the country would have had access to the Gulf of Mexico hence denying farmers on the frontier an opportunity to engage in ...

The country was overwhelmed with the conflicts with the indigenous people and Mexico for a very long time before it could secure its borders and create a full-blown nation. This process was particularly difficult for the settlers due to the ...
