Answer:

Average expected rate of return = 12.5% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of assets = $120

In condition 1 = 25% chance that it will be worth $90

In condition 2 = 25% chance that it will be worth $130

In condition 3 = 50% chance that it will be worth $160

Computation:

Average expected rate of return = Probability (Net worth - Cost of assets) / Cost of assets

Average expected rate of return = [25%($90 - $120) / $120] + [25%($130 - $120) / $120] + [50%($160 - $120) / $120]

Average expected rate of return = [0.25(-$30) / $120] + [0.25($10) / $120] + [0.50($40) / $120]

Average expected rate of return = [-0.0625] + [0.020833] + [0.167]

Average expected rate of return = 0.12533

Average expected rate of return = 12.5% (Approx)

A customer establishes a combined margin account by purchasing $10,000 of ABC stock and selling short $10,000 of XYZ stock, depo
Bess [88]

Answer:

Current SMA balance is $15,000

Explanation:

SMA means special memorandum account, where excess margin recouped from investing the fund in customer's margin account is held.

Since ABC was bought for $10,000, while it's current worth is $20,000

Margin recorded = $20,000 - $10,000

= $10,000

XYZ stock sells short at $10,000, while it's current worth is $5,000

Margin recorded on short sell

=$10,000 - $5,000

=$5,000

SMA current balance

= $10,000 + $5,000

= $15,000

A nation's central bank auctions off a new issue of 10-year bonds. What is the short-run effect on the nation's economy
sdas [7]

Answer: Aggregate Demand Decreases

Explanation:

When the Central Bank sells bonds, it is engaging in Open Market Operations to reduce the amount of money in the Economy by taking money out of people's hands ( the money they will use to buy the bonds).

When money supply in the economy decreases, it will have the opposite effect on Interest rates as they will increase because money is no longer readily available.

When this happens both businesses and Individuals will reduce the amount of money they borrow for investment and consumption respectively which are both components of Aggregate Demand.

Aggregate Demand therefore decreases and the AD curve shifts to the LEFT to depict this.

Manufacturing overhead has an overallocated balance of​ $7,800; raw materials inventory balance is​ $62,900; work in process inv
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

C. ​$143,300

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:

= Cost of goods sold + over-allocated balance of manufacturing overhead

= $135,500 + $7,800

= $143,300

To find out the cost of goods sold, we added the cost of goods sold and the over-allocated balance of manufacturing overhead

We ignored the raw material inventory balance, work in process inventory balance, and the finished goods inventory balance as it is not relevant. Hence, we ignored it
