The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Answer:
$4,375
Explanation:
Given that,
Crane Company balance = $9,250
Balance of Hale company = $3,000
Balance of Janish company = $1,875
January 1 balance in the Valdez Company subsidiary account:
= Crane Company Accounts Payable control account + Hale Company balance + Janish Company balance
= $9,250 + $3,000 + $1,875
= $4,375
Answer: by instructing his teams to create mission statements with clearly defined goals
Explanation:
These are the options:
A. by dismantling the teams so he can make one goal for the entire facility
B. by instructing his teams to create mission statements with clearly defined goals
C. by making all employees trade jobs for several weeks so they have more in common
D. by increasing the dependence of the teams on each other so all tasks share common goals
E. by giving each worker a set amount of time to find out what their goals should be or face discipline
From the question, we will realize that Donovan learned that just few of the workers in the company share any sense of common goals within teams as there was He notes disparity in what the workers were doing and the goals to be accomplished.
Based on the above scenario, he should instruct his team to create mission statement that has clearly defined goals. The mission statement will show the reason for the existence of the organization, the goal of the organization, the kind of product or service rendered etc. This will help the workers know what is expected from all of them and work towards it.
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate for each activity.
Activities: Initial concept formation $42,200;
Cost Drivers: Number of project changes
Expected Use of Cost Driver/Activity = 15
Predetermined overhead rate for activity = Overhead/Cost Driver= 42,200/ 15= $2813
Activities: Design $556,000;
Cost Drivers :Square feet
Expected Use of Cost Driver/Activity = 38,000
Predetermined overhead rate for activity =Overhead/Cost Driver= 556,000/ 38,000
=$ 14.63
Activities: Construction oversight $124,200.
Cost Drivers: Number of months
Expected Use of Cost Driver/Activity= 105
Predetermined overhead rate for activity = Overhead/Cost Driver= 124,220/ 105
= 1183.04
