Answer:
Explanation:
Assume the initial invest at the beginning is $100.
The investment at end of year 4 is:
100 x 1.16 x 1.11 x 1.1 x 1.1 = 155.80
a) CAGR over the 4 years = (155.8 / 100 ) ^ (1/4) = 11.72%
b) Average annual return over 4 years = (16% +11% + 10% +10%) /4 = 11.75%
c) Since the returns over the 4 year period are not much volatile, average annual return is a better measure.
If the investment's returns are independent and identically distributed, Average annual return will be the better measure because there is no correlation between returns over the years and thus there is no point to take into consideration the compounding effect by using CAGR.

Answer:
First year depreciation expense is $2,250
Explanation:
Total depreciation expense is given by:
Price - Salvage Value = 40,000 - 4,000 = 36,000
That $36,000 depreciation expense would be spread out for 200,000 miles.
So for the first year in which the truck is used 12,500 miles, the depreciation expense will be

Answer:
Alternation ranking method.
Explanation:
Tony, a production manager at Brighton Biometrics, needs to measure the performance of 10 subordinates. He writes their names on a paper and circles Paula's name as the best-performing employee of the group. He then circles Erma's name as the worst employee of the group. He rates the remaining employees as second best, second worst, and so on. In the context of methods of performance measurement, Tony is using the alternation ranking method.
This method basically ranks employees from the very best to the worst based on a particular trait. Choosing the highest down to the lowest until every one of them are ranked.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
1. Return on assets is
= Net income ÷ avg total assets
where,
Avg total assets is
= (opening total assets + closing total assets) ÷ 2
= ($6,806.4 + $6,899.2) ÷ 2
= $6,852.8
Now return on asset is
= $481.6 ÷ $6,852.8
= 7.0%
2. Assets turnover ratio = net sales ÷ avg total assets
= $17,371.2 ÷ $6,852.8
= 2.5 times
3. Profit margin = net income ÷net sales
= $481.6 ÷ $17,371.2
= 2.8%
