Answer:

The answer is: D) Risk is a measure of the uncertainty surrounding the return that an investment will earn.

Explanation:

Investment risk refers to the probability of losing an investment.  It measures the uncertainty level of earning returns from an investment.

When an investor anticipates a higher risk, he will expect higher returns. On the contrary, low risk investments (e.g. T-Bills) offer very low yields.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Assign appropriate, but differing, discount rates to each project and then select the projects with the highest net present values.

Explanation:

The discount rate is the cost of capital that is applied to determine the current value of a future payment.

The discount rate is used to "discount" future money. It is widely used when evaluating investment projects. It tells us how much money is worth now from a future date.

The discount rate is the inverse of the interest rate, which serves to increase the value (or add interest) in the present money. The discount rate, on the other hand, detracts from the future money when it is transferred to the present, except if the discount rate is negative, in case it will mean that the future money is worth more than the current one. The interest rate is used to obtain the increase to an original amount, while the discount rate is subtracted from an expected amount to obtain an amount in the present.

Except in exceptional cases, the discount rate is positive because before the promise of receiving money in the future we have the uncertainty of whether we will receive it or not, since there may be a problem that prevents us from receiving that money. Therefore, the farther the money we are going to receive, the less it will be worth now.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

0.67

Explanation:

Beta measures the systemic risk of a portfolio

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock  

total number of stocks in the portfolio 400 + 290 + 700 = 1390

(400 / 1390 x 0.6) + (290 / 1390 x 1.2) + (700 / 1390 x 0.5) =

0.17 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.67

Bramble Company uses the percentage of receivables method for recording bad debt expense. The accounts receivable balance is $59
shusha [124]

Answer and Explanation

Given:

Accounts receivable balance = $598,000

Percentage of receivables that are uncollectible = 5% or 0.05

Uncollectible receivables = 0.05 × 598,000 = $29,900

Adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense is:

Particulars                                          Debit              Credit

Bad debts expense                            XXXXX

     Allowance for doubtful debts                               XXXXX

(Being bad debts incurred)

Noe, Allowance for doubtful debts has a credit balance of $4,800.

Bad debt incurred = 29,900 - 4,800 = $25,100

So adjusting entry :

Particulars                                          Debit              Credit

Bad debts expense                            $25,100

     Allowance for doubtful debts                             $25,100

(Being bad debts incurred)

Net domestic product (ndp) equals the output of the economy (gdp) ________ the depreciation of the nation's capital goods. this
dybincka [34]
<span>Net domestic product (NDP) equals the output of the economy (GDP) minus the depreciation of the nation's capital goods. This is an indicator of how much a nation must "invest" to continue that current GDP.

To solve for the NDP your equation would be:
NDP = GDP - depreciation
When you are finding the NDP of something, you are commonly referring to a house, vehicle or the life span of a machine. </span>
