Answer:

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

Explanation:

<em>Geometric average return</em>

This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .

Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility

The formula below

Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n

Geometric Average return =  

(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168

Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%

Geometric return = 9.23%

Average rate of return

<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>

Average return = sum of return / No of returns

(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Reducing tax rate according to supply - side policy creates demand pull inflation.

Demand pull inflation is a situation whereby people have more buying power due to the availability of cash thereby leading to high demand and consequentially leading to an increase in the price of goods and services by suppliers.

That is the process where demand outplays supply due  to the high purchasing power thereby causing price to increase which is the demand pull inflation effect.

In the month of June, a department had 20,000 units in beginning work in process that were 70% complete. During June, 80,000 uni
Mariana [72]

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning work in process = 20,000 units and 70% completed

So, Units transferred = 20,000 × 30%

                                   = 6,000

Direct transferred = 80,000 units

Ending work in process = 10,000 × 40%

                                        = 4,000

Therefore,

Units were transferred out of the process in June:

= Beginning WIP transferred + Direct transferred  + Ending work in process

= 6,000 + 80,000 + 4,000

= 90,000 units

mina [271]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Benchmarking is a continuous process by which the products, services or work processes of leading companies are taken as a reference, to compare them with those of your own company and then make improvements and implement them.

It is not about copying what your competition is doing, but learning what leaders are doing to implement it in your company by adding improvements. If we take as a reference those who stand out in the area that we want to improve and study their strategies, methods and techniques to subsequently improve and adapt them to our company, we will achieve a high level of competitiveness.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

- The balance in the subsidiary ledger will equal the balance of its supported account in the general ledger.

- The account which the subsidiary ledger supports in the general ledger is called a control account.

- It is a supporting ledger that contains detailed information about a general ledger account.

- Two of the most common subsidiary ledgers are for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.

Explanation:

A subsidiary ledger is defined as a supporting ledger that contains details of an account on the general ledger.

It gives a breakdown of the single amount that reflects in a general ledger account.

For example if the accounts payable account has a balance of $50,000, the subsidiary ledger will show the individual transactions that make up the $50,000.

Therefore the balance of the subsidiary ledger will equal the amount in the general ledger account.
