Answer:
Option (D) 1.29%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Treasury bill returns over four years :
4%, 3%, 2%, and 5%
Now,
Average return = (4% + 3% + 2%+ 5%) ÷ 4
= 3.5%
Standard deviation = [ ∑(Return - Mean)² ] ÷ [ n -1 ]
= [ (4% - 3.5%)² + (3% - 3.5%)² + (2% - 3.5%)² + (5% - 3.5%)² ] ÷ [ 4 - 1 ]
= 3.87% ÷ 3
= 1.29%
Hence,
Option (D) 1.29%
If you need to indicate the missing ammount of each letter in the grahp then it will be like follows:
For the first case:
A = $9,600 + $5,000 + $8,000 = $22,600$22,600 + $1,000 – B = $17,000
B = $22,600 + $1,000 – $17,000 = $6,600$17,000 + C = $20,000
C = $20,000 – $17,000 = $3,000
D = $20,000 – $3,400 = $16,600
<span>E = ($24,500 – $2,500) – $16,600 = $5,400
</span><span>F = $5,400 – $2,500 = $2,900
</span>And now for the second case:
G + $8,000 + $4,000 = $16,000
G = $16,000 – $8,000 – $4,000 = $4,000$16,000 + H – $3,000 = $22,000
H = $22,000 + $3,000 – $16,000 = $9,000(I – $1,400) – K = $7,000(I – $1,400) – $22,800 = $7,000
<span>I = $1,400 + $22,800 + $7,000 = $31,200
</span>J = $22,000 + $3,300 = $25,300
K = $25,300 – $2,500 = $22,800$7,000 – L = $5,000
<span>L = $2,000</span>
Answer: c. $18,000
Explanation:
Provision for doubtful accounts estimate;
= 600,000 * 3%
= $18,000
