The concept of risk and return is subjective for different people, as well as for corporations.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Risk and Return

1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

As in the previous Participation Exercise, the Khalid Company manufactures and sells Paso-the-Salsa, which is a bottled condimen
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each bottle is sold for $5. The company recently had the following costs to produce 12,000 units of its product during August:

(1) Rent of $5,000 on a billboard to help advertise the product

(2) Rent on factory and equipment of $8,000

(3) Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers $24,000

(4) Tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles $18,000

(5) Total payroll for salaried, administrative staff $6,000

The company sold 8,000 units.

A) First, we need to calculate the total and unitary cost of production:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + factory overhead

Total cost= tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles + Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers + Rent on factory and equipment

Total cost= 18,000 + 24,000 + 8,000

TC= 50,000

Unitary cost= 50,000/12,000= $4.17 per bottle

Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= unitary cost* units sold= 4.17*8,000= $33,360

B) Income statement:

Sales= 8,000*5= 40,000

COGS= (33,360)

Gross profit= 6,640

Selling expense= (5,000)

Administrative expense= (6,000)

Net operating income= (4,360)

C) Inventory= unitary cost* ending inventory in units

Inventory= 4.17*4,000= $16,680
