A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the ret

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

$S^{2}$ = Σ $(X-X)^{2}$ / N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983

Answer:

Q Fixed Variable Total Marginal Aver. Aver. Aver.

Costs Costs Cost Cost FC VC TC

0 100 0 100 - - - -

1 100 50 150 150 100 50 150

2 100 70 170 20 50 35 85

3 100 90 190 20 33.33 30 63.33

4 100 140 240 50 25 35 60

5 100 200 300 60 20 40 60

6 100 360 460 160 16.67 60 76.67

The firm's profit in this case is -$360.

True or False: This was a wise decision. ⇒ False

Depends on the situation and which costs are avoidable if the company shuts down operations. If it produces 4 cases, the losses reduce from -$100 to -$40, but the contribution margin is positive since revenues exceed variable costs by $60. But under the current price level, the company will not be able to generate profits unless it increases its sales price or decreases its fixed costs.

Vaguely remembering his introductory economics course, the company's chief financial officer tells the CEO it is better to produce 1 case of ball bearings, because marginal revenue equals marginal cost at that quantity.

At this level of production, the firm's profit is -$100.

True or False: This is the best decision the firm can make. ⇒ False

Accounting profit is maximized at 4 cases since marginal cost ($50) = sales price ($50). At this point the total profit is -$40.

Flounder Company purchased a delivery truck for $33,000 on January 1, 2020. The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,000, a

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Through straight line method

In year 2020 =3100

In year 2021 = 3100

Through double declining method

In year 2020=6600

In year 2021= 5280

Through activity based

in year 2020=4544

in year 2021=3366

Explanation:

Through straight line method

Formula is (Cost-salvage)/Useful years

So,

Cost of good is $33000

Salvage amount is $2000

Number of useful years 10

Putting the values

(33000-2000)/10

3100

As, this is straight line method, depreciation for the next year (2021) would also remain same. 3100

Through double declining method

Formula is 2* depreciation rate

so, 2* 1/10

double declining rate is 1/5

So, 33000*1/5= 6600

6600 for 2020

Next year (2021),

Now we would subtract the amount of 6600 (already depreciated) from the 33000.

So, 33000-6600= 26400

Applying the rate, 26400*1/5 = 5280

So, next year 5280

Through activity based

we depreciate the truck according to its usage

So, in first year it was used 13800 miles. Maximum it can be used for 100,000 miles

First year 13800/100000= 13.8% used

we depreciate then 33000*13.8%= 4554

So, in 2020 4554

Next year (2021)

It was driven 10200 which is 10200/100000= 10.2%*33000

So, 0.102*33000= 3366

In 2021, depreciation of machine according to the activity based system was 3366
