Answer:

Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx

Explanation:

Eco Scenario    Dividend     Stock Price  HPR    Prob     Expected HPR

Boom                         3                 60         26        0.33        8.58

Normal                       1.2               58        18.4       0.33       6.072

Recession                  0.75            49        (0.5)      0.33      <u> (0.165)</u>

              Expected HPR                                                       14.49%

<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>

                                      (A)                     (B)           (A) - (B)  

P_{1}          P_{0}       D_{1}       Given return   Exp return       d          p           p.d^{2}

60        50      3            26                     14.49         11.51       0.33      43.718    

58        50      1.2          18.4                   14.49         3.91       0.33      5.045

49        50      0.75      (0.5)                    14.49        14.99     0.33      <u> 74.15</u>

                                                                                         Total p.d^{2} =  122.91

wherein, d = deviation

               p = probability

               Standard Deviation = \sqrt{Total\ p.d^{2} }  = \sqrt{122.91} = 11.08  

<u></u>

<u>Working Note</u>:

Holding period return = \frac{P_{1}\ -\ P_{0} \ +\ D_{1}  }{P_{0} }

Boom = \frac{60\ -\ 50 \ +\ 3  }{50 }   = 26%

Similarly, for normal = \frac{58\ -\ 50 \ +\ 1.2  }{50 }  = 18.4%

Recession = \frac{49\ -\ 50 \ +\ 0.75  }{50}  = (0.5)%

figure in bracket indicates negative return

The sales of Carephase Company for the year are as given below: Quarter 1 $400,000 Quarter 2 $360,000 Quarter 3 $620,000 Quarter
Elza [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is $588,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

We can calculate the cash receipts for Quarter 4 by using following formula:

Cash receipts for Quarter 4 = Cash Sales + Cash collected from credit sales in Qtr 4 + Accounts receivable of Qtr 3

Where, Cash sales = $580,000 × 50% = $290,000

Cash collected from credit sales in Qtr 4 = ($580,000 × 50%) ×60% = $174,000

Accounts receivable of Qtr 3 = ($620,000 × 50%) × 40% = $124,000

By putting the value, we get

Cash receipts = $290,000+$174,000+$124,000

= $588,000
