Answer:
C. A risk averse investor would choose the economy in which stock returns are independent because risk can be diversified away in a large portfolio.
Explanation:
if stock prices move together, (positive correlation), the volatility of the portfolio will be higher. Higher volatility means higher risk. This is the case with the first economy.
In the second economy however, the stocks are independent of each other meaning there is zero correlation between stocks and hence the portfolio volatility will be much lesser.
As a risk-averse investor you will prefer the portfolio with lower volatility for the same expected return.
Answer:
Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit.
Explanation:
Accounts payable are basically short term debts that a company has with its suppliers. E.g. a retailer purchases goods from a wholesaler on terms n/30. In this case, the accounts payable would be the amount of money owed to the retailer. There is no specific time frame for an accounts payable, since it varies depending on the credit that the supplier gives. E.g. sometimes a supplier will sell on a 45 day credit period, or even 60 day period.
Answer:
Ending inventory= $5,592.45
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mar. 1: Beginning inventory= 1,090 units at $7.25
Mar. 10: Purchase: 510 units at $7.75
Mar. 16: Purchase: 397 units at $8.35
Mar. 23: Purchase: 510 units at $9.05
First, we need to calculate the number of units in ending inventory:
Ending inventory in units= total units - units sold
Ending inventory in units= 2,507 - 1,880= 627
Under FIFO (first-in, first-out), the ending inventory is composed of the cost of the last units bought.
Ending inventory= 510*9.05 + 117*8.35= $5,592.45
Answer:
$120
Explanation:
The computation of the cost is shown below:
= Cost per month flat for 1,000 units + extra cost if exceeded 1,000 minutes
where,
Cost per month flat for 1,000 units = $50
And, the extra cost is
= $0.35 × 200 minutes
= $70
So, the total cost is
= $50 + $70
= $120
The 200 minutes is come from
= 1,200 minutes - 1,000 minutes
