Answer:

23.56

Explanation:

Standard deviation of  the first stock (σ1) = 20%

Standard deviation of  the second stock (σ2) = 37%

The correlation coefficient between the returns (ρ) = 0.1.

Proportion invested in the first stock (W1) = 43%

Proportion invested in the second stock (W2) = 57%

The standard deviation of a two-stock portfolio's returns is given by

\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{w_1^2\sigma_1^2+w_2^2\sigma_2^2+2w_1w_2\rho\sigma_1\sigma_2} \\\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{0.43^2*0.2^2+0.57^2*0.37^2+2*0.43*0.57*0.1*0.2*0.37}\\\sigma_{portfolio} =0.2356=23.56\%

The standard deviation of this portfolio's returns IS 23.56%

Answer:

Foreign exchange loss

Explanation:

A foreign exchange gain/loss is normal for companies that operate in foreign countries. E.g. you prepared your financial statements by converting the foreign currency into your local currency, in this case you converted Canadian dollars to US dollars. But then the exchange rate between the currencies changes. If the value of the Canadian dollar's value increased after conversion, then you gained, and an adjustment must be made to show that gain. But if the Canadian dollar's value decreased after the conversion, then you lost (what happened here) and an adjusting entry must be made to report the loss.

In order to correct his, you must:

On January 1, 2021, Laramie Inc. acquired land for $6.2 million. Laramie paid $1.2 in cash and signed a 6% note requiring the co
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The amount Laramie should record the purchase of land is <u>$6.2 million</u>.

Explanation:

The costs of a fixed asset refer to the purchase price and other relevant costs which are incurred in order to the location and working condition required to operate the fixed asset in way that it is intended.

The other relevant costs that are added to the purchase price to arrive at the cost of the fixed assets include professional fees, non-refundable taxes or levies, and among others.

If any trade discount or rebate is given, this will be deducted from the purchase price to arrive at the cost.

Any interest required to be paid on the delayed payment in order to reflects the time value of money are not part of the cost of the asset but expensed in the year they are incurred.

From the question, the land acquired is a fixed asset. Based on the explanation above, the total cost of the asset is $6.2 million. The interest from the 6% interest rate on the remaining $5 million will be part of the cost of the land but it will be expensed in the year they are incurred.

Therefore, the amount Laramie should record the purchase of land is <u>$6.2 million</u>.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Internal control comprises the whole system of financial and other controls established and operating within a business, including internal check, internal audit and all other forms of control.

Based on Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework, there are 5 interrelated components of internal control, which are: Control environment, Risk assessment, Control activities, Information and communication and Monitoring.
