Answer:

Rate of return=0.222=22.2%

Explanation:

Price at which shares are sold=$45 per share

Number of shares=100 shares

Initial margin=50%=0.5

Price of share on repurchase=$40 per share

Required:

Rate of return if shares are repurchased=?

Solution:

Rate of return=\frac{Profit}{Initial\ Investment}

Profit earned=($45-$40)*100

Profit earned=$500

Initial Investment=(100*45)0.5

Initial Investment=$2,250

Rate of return=\frac{500}{2250}

Rate of return=0.222=22.2%

mr_godi [17]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50

State              Prob     E(R)

Boom             10%     40%

Normal           60%     20%

Recession       30%   - 25%

Answer:

The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.

The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%

Explanation:

<u>Expected return</u>

The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.

The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1)  +  (0.2 * 0.6)  +  (-0.25 * 0.3)

The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%

<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>

The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:

SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)

Where,

  • rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
  • pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
  • E(R) is the expected return of the stock

Here, the events are the state of economy.

So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)

SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%

enyata [817]

Answer:

a. $349,700

b. $209,900

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Before computing the cash payment made to supplier first we have to find out the purchase amount which is shown below:

(a) Change in Finished goods + purchase = Cost of goods sold

-$25,800 + purchases = $307,000

So, the purchase is $332,800

Now

Cash paid to supplier is

= $332,800 + $16,900

= $349,700

And,

(b) Cash paid for operating expenses is

= $229,000 - $8,000 - $11,100

= $209,900

An increase in the supply of grain will reduce the total revenue grain producers receive if.
Bogdan [553]

If the<u> demand curve is inelastic</u>, a rise in the supply of grain will result in a decrease in the overall income received by grain producers.

The ability of firms to enter and exit a market over time means that, in the long run, the supply curve is more elastic.

Two basic economic concepts are combined in the law of supply and demand to explain how shifts in the price of a resource, good, or service affect its supply and demand. As the price rises, supply increases while demand decreases. On the other hand, as the price falls, demand increases and supply becomes more limited.

The degree to which changes in price translate into changes in demand and supply is known as the product's price elasticity.

Basic consumer demand is comparatively inelastic, or less responsive to price changes.
