Yellow Press, Inc., buys paper in 1,500-pound rolls for printing. Annual demand is 3 comma 000 3,000 rolls. The cost per roll

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

59 orders

Explanation:

For computing the how many rolls should order at a time, first we have to determine the economic order quantity which is shown below:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= $\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}$

where,

Carrying cost = $875 × 20% = $175

And, other items values would remain the same

ow put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{3,000}\times \text{\$75}}{\text{\$175}}}$

= 50.71 units

Now The number of orders would be equal to

= Annual demand ÷ economic order quantity

= $3,000 ÷ 50.71 units

= 59 orders

You own a portfolio that is 34 percent invested in Stock X, 22 percent invested in Stock Y, and 44 percent invested in Stock Z.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

13.86%

Explanation:

34% was invested into stock X with an expected return of 11%

22% was invested into stock Y with an expected return of 18%

44% was invested into stock Z with an expected return of 14%

The expected return on the portfolio can be calculated using the formula below

Expected return= Sum of ( weight of stock×return of stock)

= (0.34×11%)+(0.22×18%)+(0.44×14%)

= 3.74+3.96+6.16

= 13.86%

Hence the expected return on the portfolio is 13.86%

Ivan

Answer:

a. $842,250

b. $842,250

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For avoidable interest

Weighted average Interest rate applied avoidable interest

accumulated expenditures

$5,205,000 10% $520,500

$2,925,000 11% $321,750

Total $842,250

($8,130,000 - $5,205,000)

Working note for interest rate applied

Particulars Principal Interest

12% ten year bond $6,047,000 $725,640

9% 3 year bond $3,023,500 $272,115

total $9,070,500 $997,755

Now the interest rate is

= $997,755 ÷ $9,070,500

= 11%

2. Now the total interest capitalized is

Total interest is

= $520,500 + $725,640 + $272,115

= $1,518,255

And, the total avoidable interest is $842,250

So we considered the lesser amount i.e. $842,250
