Answer:
The correlation of returns between Asset A and Asset B is closest to 0.685714
or 68.57%
Explanation:
The formula to find the correlation of an asset is
Correlation of AB = Co variance AB/Standard deviation A * Standard deviation B
Co variance AB =600
Standard deviation of A= (625)^0.5=25
Standard deviation of B = (1,225)^0.5=35
Put these values in the formula
600/(25*35)=0.685714
The purchase amount that Icon Co. would record on April 2 would be: <u>c. $4,000</u>.
<h3>What is the purchase amount to be recorded?</h3>
The purchase amount that should be recorded on the date of purchase is the amount of the transaction. This does not take into account the return and discount which happened later.
This implies that Icon Co. will reduce the purchase amount on April 4 when half of the goods were returned with a contra entry. And discount will be based on the balance of $2,000 instead of $4,000.
<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>
Purchase on April 2 = $4,000
Purchases Return on April 4 = $2,000
Thus, the purchase amount that Icon Co. would record on April 2 would be: <u>c. $4,000</u>.

Answer:
Design Capacity Utilization= 75%
Production efficiency = 120%
Explanation:
Okay, so the question is to determine both the design and the effective capacity utilization measures and make a conclusion from there
1. The Capacity Utilization = The Actual Output/ Design Capacity
Actual Output= 300 hamburgers a day
Design Capacity = 400 Hamburgers a day
Therefore Capacity Utilization = 300 hamburgers/400 hamburgers x 100
= 75%
2. The Efficiency of the production = The Actual Output / The Effective Capacity
Actual Output = 300 Hamburgers a day
Effective Capacity = 250 hamburgers
= 300 Hamburgers/ 250 Hamburgers x 100
= 120%
Conclusion
First we see that the actual utilization of capacity is more better than the effective capacity and this is good. Also, the Design Capacity is higher than the actual capacity utilization which should also be expected as design capacity is a calculation based on ideal conditions that may be not realistic in real life conditions.
Answer:
The WACC is 10.93%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost to firm of its capital structure. The capital structure of the firm consists of debt, preferred stock and common stock. The WACC is calculated by taking the sum of the weighted average cost of each component of the capital structure.
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component as a proportion of total assets
- r represents the cost of each component
- We take the after tax cost of debt. So, rD is multiplied by (1-tax rate)
WACC = 0.45 * 0.09 * (1-0.35) + 0.1 * 0.065 + 0.45 * 0.17
WACC = 0.109325 or 10.9325% rounded off to 10.93%
