Answer:

HPR = holding period Return is 20%

Explanation:

  • Given original Investment = $100
  • Short sale proceeds for 1 share = $100
  • Investment made of $100 + short sale proceeds of $100 at 5% YTM.
  • So Maturity Value = Investment x (1+YTM)^number of years  
  • = 200 x (1 + 0.05)^1 = 210  

 

  • Therefore, In order to cover Short sale of 1 share, we will have to buy 1 share at a closing value of $90  
  • As such, holding period Return = (Investment proceeds from ZCB - Buying price of stock - Investment amount) / Investment Amount  
  • = (210 - 90 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 or 20%  

 

  • Hence, HPR = holding period Return is 20%

According to Walter Shewhart:_______
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.

Explanation:

Walter Shewhart is regarded as an important personality in the history of quality management. He asserted that the behavior of real processes had the tendency to change as time changed and it was not the behaviur of theoretical random distributions.

Walter Shewhart posited that causes of variation could be divided into two which are chance cause and assignable cause. He maintained that chance causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation, and any attempt to eliminate them usually made the problem worse. He however posited that it was possible to fix assignable causes.

Walter Shewhart invented control chart in order to differentiate between variations caused by random events and trends that indicated assignable causes. There is time and a plot of sample measurements on the bottom axis of a control chart. The mean, upper control limit, lower control limit, and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines.

Based on the above explanatio, the correct option is c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.

kaheart [24]

Two elements of type A behavior that seem to work against each other have been found by researchers. These two traits include striving for success and being impatient or irritable.

<h3>What make up the parts?</h3>

The level of achievement striving describes how hard its members work to meet objectives and enhance performance. A functionally independent component is a portion of any system. It performs a certain function and could call for input or give off output.

A component is an identifiable portion of a larger program or construction in the programming and engineering fields. Components are described as being a portion of a whole. The CD player in a stereo system is an illustration of a component. An ingredient in a recipe is an illustration of a component.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$985,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Pretax book income = $1,000,000

Increase in net reserve for warranties = $25,000

Book depreciation = $100,000

Dividend received deduction = $15,000

Book equivalent of taxable income:

= Pretax book income - Dividend received deduction

= $1,000,000 - $15,000

= $985,000

Therefore, the Book equivalent of taxable income is $985,000.
