The answer is A.
There is risk involved in owning a stock, and many unknown variables. The value of the stock could plummet, putting your principal investment at risk. There is no guarantee of return on investment, and even well-established companies have had to cut dividends during difficult times.
In the case of bonds, you are guaranteed by the bond issuer that your principal and the agreed-upon interest will be paid at a defined time. Excluding the event of bankruptcy (and still likely in this case), you are virtually guaranteed that the entity will pay you according to the agreed-upon terms. For this reason, bonds are considered a much lower risk investment.
Why then, do many people choose to invest at least part of their portfolio in stocks? Stocks generally have a much high expected return, and many people consider this increased return worth the increased risk that with it.
Answer: B. Tabitha figures that the additional benefit of having her own booth ( as opposed to sharing) is at least $300.
Explanation:
When Tabitha moved booths, she began to pay $450 per month. The difference between this cost and the cost she was previously paying is:
= 450 - 150
= $300
If Tabitha is paying $300 extra, it must mean that the benefit she is getting from being in her own booth is at least $300 because that would be the only way she would not be making a loss. Were the benefits anything less than $300, she would be making a loss and it would not make any sense for her to continue renting the booth.
Answer:
5 units and $2,175
Explanation:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= 
=
= 2,000 units
The total cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $8 + 10,000 ÷ 2,000 × $150 + 2,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= 80,000 + $750 + $750
= $81,500
Now in case of ordering 5,000 yields at discount price of $6.50 the total cost is
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $6.50 + 10,000 ÷ 5,000 × $150 + 5,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= $65,000 + 300 + $1,875
= $67,175
Therefore there will be 5 units should store at a time and cost of inventory is 300 + $1,875 = $2,175
Answer:
$3,065
Explanation:
Data provided
Paid amount = $800
Conference fee = $510
Night lodging for three nights = $400 × 3
Meals = $220
Cab fare = $445
The computation of deductible amount is shown below:-
Deductible amount as business expenses = Paid amount + Conference fee + Night lodging for three nights + (Meals × deductible percentage) + Cab fare
= $800 + $510 + $1200 + ($220 × 50%) + $445
= $3,065
Answer:
B) 8.65%
Explanation:
Geometric Average Return = [(1 + r1) * (1 + r2) * - - - - - * (1 + rN)]1/N - 1
Geometric Average Return = [(1 + 0.10)^10 * (1 + 0.06)^5]^1/15 - 1
Geometric Average Return = [1.10^10 * 1.06^5]^1/15 - 1
Geometric Average Return = [2.59374*1.33823]^1/15 - 1
Geometric Average Return = (3.471021)^1/15 - 1
Geometric Average Return = 1.08650188155 - 1
Geometric Average Return = 0.08650188155
Geometric Average Return = 8.65%
