RSB [31]

Answer:

5341288

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Volume of the living quarters = 213 cubic feet

Now,

The dimensions of the US dollar bills are

width = 2.61 inches

Length = 6.14 inches

Thickness = 0.0043 inches

Thus,

Volume of a single dollar bill = 2.61 × 6.14 × 0.0043

= 0.06890922 cubic inches

Also,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 213 × 12³

[ ∵ 1 ft = 12 inches ; 1 ft³ = 12³ cubic inches]

Thus,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 368064 cubic inches.

Thus,

Number of dollar bills that can fit in there

= [ Volume of quarter in cubic inches ] ÷ Volume of a single dollar bill

= 368064 ÷ 0.06890922

= 5341288.15 ≈ 5341288

You have $130,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect

Finger [1]

Answer:

Let X be the amount invested in stock A

Let 1-X be the amount invested in stock B

Expected rate = (Required rate of X* X) + (Required ratebof Y * (1-X))

0.146 = (0.128 * X) + (0.078 * (1-X))

0.146 = 0.128X + 0.078 - 0.078X

0.146 - 0.078 = 0.128X - 0.078X

X = 0.068/0.05

X = 1.36

Amount to be invested in Stick X = $130,000 * 1.36

= $176,000

Amount to be invested in Stock Y = (1-X) * Available amount

= (1-1.36) * $130,000

= $46,800

Therefore, the amount to be invested in Stick Y = -$46,800

Calculation of the portfolio beta

bp = w1b1 + w2b2 + ........ + wnbn

bp = (1.36*1.3) + ((-0.36) * 1.05)

bp = 1.768 - 0.378

bp = 1.29

Therefore, the portfolio beta is 1.39

Terry company had january 1 inventory of $100,000 when it adopted dollar-value lifo. during the year, purchases were $600,000 an

inna [77]

Answer:

Terry's Closing Inventory is $131,360.

Terry's Gross profit is $431,360.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answers:

1. Calculate the base value of closing inventory (CI):

$CI_{base value} = \frac{CI*Index at base year}{current price index}$

$CI_{base value} = \frac{143360*100}{112} = 128,000$

2. Calculate additions to inventory at base price

$Additions to inventory = CI_{base value} - Beginning inventory$

$Additions to inventory = 128000 - 100000 = 28,000$

3. Calculate the value of additions to inventory at current prices

$Additions to inventory_{current Value} = Additions to inventory_{base Value} * \frac{current price index}{base price index}$

$Additions to inventory_{current Value} = 28,000 * \frac{112}{100} = 31,360$

4. Calculate the value of Closing inventory

$Closing inventory = Beginning Inventory + Additions to inventory_{current Value}$

$Closing inventory = 100,000 + 31,360 = 131,360$

5. Compute Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):

$COGS = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory$

$COGS = (100000 + 600000 - 131360) = 568640$

6. Compute Gross profit

$Gross profit = Sales - COGS$

$Gross profit = 1000000 - 568640 = 431360$
