Answer: 0.3

Explanation:

The Sharpe ratio is simply used by organizations and investors in order to compare the return on an investment to its risk.

From the question, we are informed that a portfolio has a 30% standard deviation generated a return of 15% last year when T-bills were paying 6.0%.

The Sharpe ratio will be:

= (15% - 6.0%)/30%

= 9%/30%

= 0.09/0.3

= 0.3

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The question is therefore completed before answering the question by providing the options as follows:

A. No, because the debtor incurred no additional detriment that would serve as consideration for the new agreement.

B. Yes, because it would have cost the creditor $1,200 to purchase the entertainment system himself.

C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

D. Yes, because the new agreement between the debtor and the creditor is enforceable with or without

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows.

It is possible to enforce the two parties' new agreement as an accord.

An accord can be described as an agreement in which one party to an existing contract agrees to accept some other, different performance from the other party in lieu of the performance that the other party is obligated to provide. In principle, an agreement must be backed by payment, but the consideration can be less than the amount agreed upon in the preceding contract if it is of a different character or the claim is to be paid to a third party. The responsibility of the debtor to supply the creditor with a new entertainment system was enough fresh consideration to constitute a legal agreement in this case.

When a party's responsibility is modified in some way, as the debtor's duty was in this case, the preceding legal duty rule does not apply. It makes no difference whether the creditor's benefit in the accord arrangement is equal to the original debt's worth; courts will find appropriate consideration if the consideration is fresh or different in any way. The difference in the debtor's obligation, that is, payment is in the form of an entertainment system rather than cash) is enough to sustain the accord arrangement, regardless of how much the entertainment system would have cost the creditor.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) does not apply because the original agreement was not for the sale of goods. The underlying commitment in this case was to pay a debt secured by a promissory note.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

yulyashka [42]

Full question(find attached) :

Faiz would like to illustrate the commission savings delivered by a payment app compared with a credit card. He decides to use a company that has a monthly sales volume of $50,000 delivered over 100 equal transactions.

From the information available, what is the difference between the payment app with the lowest charge, compared with a credit card charge?

A) $575

B) $1200

C) $1050

D) $480

E) $1237

Answer and Explanation:

Credit card processing firms charge an average of 3.5% and a flat fee of about 20 cents so we would make our comparison on this basis:

Since Faiz decides to use a company that has a monthly sales volume of $50,000 delivered over 100 equal transactions

The customer would pay $50000/100= $500 per instalment

Given the information I'm the table from question Instant wallet charges 3.5% +$0.20 for transactions lower than $1500

= 0.035*$500+$0.20=17.5+0.20=$17.7

An average credit card processing firms would charge :

0.035*500+$0.35=17.5+0.35= $17.85

Therefore instant wallet is cheaper and would save a customer =$17.85-17.7= $0.15
