Answer:
The correct option is c. 78.39%.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
In regression model, R-squared (R^2) is the statistical measure that shows the percentage of the total variation a dependent variable that is explained by an independent variable(s).
From the question, the candy bar sales is the dependent variable while the Price is the independent variable.
Therefore, the R^2 is calculated using the RSQ function in the Microsoft excel.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the R^2 using the RSQ function.
For the data in the excel, the R^2 is calculated by simply typing =RSQ(C3:C8,B3:B8) anywhere in the attached excel file. This gives 0.7839. Converting this to a percentage gives 78.39%.
Therefore, percentage of the total variation in candy bar sales explained by prices is 78.39%. The correct option is c. 78.39%.

Answer:
2%
Explanation:
Actual return = [(Dividend + Capital gain) / Purchase price] * 100
= [($1.32 + $27 - $24) / $24] * 100
= 18%
Expected return = rf + Beta*(E(rm) - rf)
= 10% + 0.6*(20% - 10%)
= 16%
Abnormal return = Actual return - Expected return
Abnormal return = 18% - 16%
Abnormal return = 2%
Answer:
Net income from special order = $56,400
Blowing Sand Company should accept the order because it will increase net income by $56,400
Explanation:
In order to carry out an incremental analysis, only relevant cash flows should be considered.
The relevant cash flows from accepting the special order are the variable costs and the sales revenue.
Please, note that the fixed costs are not relevant for this decision. Simply because they would be incurred either way.
1. The sales revenue from the order- $30 × 9400 = $282,000
2. the variable cost of production $24 per unit × 9,400 = $225,600
The contribution from the special order would be determined as follows:
Contribution from special order = sales revenue - variable cost
= $282,000 - $225,600
= $56,400
Blowing Sand Company should accept the order
Answer:
The cost price is the price you buy a product for. You need to compare the cost price to the selling price to know whether you got a profit or loss (did you make money or did you not).
If you don't know the cost price, you don't know whether you have a profit or loss. Of course everyone wants a profit (make money) so to determine a selling price the cost price is important.
Answer and Explanation:
(A) E(P) = (0.6) × ($2800) + (0.4) × ($2250)
= $1680+$900
= $2,580
E(S) = (0.6) × (1.40)+(0.4) × (1.5)
= 0.84 + 0.60
= $1.44
Var(S) = (0.6)(1.40 - 1.44)² + (.4)(1.50 - 1.44)²
= .00096+.00144
= 0.0024.
Cov(P,S) = (0.6)(2800-2580)(1.4-1.44) + (0.4)(2250-2580)(1.5-1.44)
= -5.28-7.92
= -13.20
b = Cov(P,S)/Var(S)
= -13.20/.0024
= -£5,500.
there is a negative exposure. as the pound gets stronger/weaker against the dollar the dollar value of british holding goes higher.
(B) b²Var(S) = (-5500)²(.0024) = 72,600($)²
(C). i would Buy 5,500 forward to hedge exchange risk exposure. By doing this, i can eliminate the volatility of the dollar value of your British asset that is due to the volatility of the exchange rate
