Answer:

D) securities' returns are negatively correlated.

Explanation:

The whole purpose of diversification is to lower risk while maintaining reasonably high returns. The whole idea behind diversification is that when a group of stocks is performing poorly, another group is doing very well.

That s exactly what negatively correlated means, when one stock is doing very well the other is doing poorly, and vice versa.

1. What is the difference between fixed, variable, and periodic costs?

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The difference is in how they response to the level of production of the firm.

Variable cost are directly associated with the production level, therefore changes with the number of units produced.

Fixed costs do not change with the level of production and remains fixed. Usually, fixed cost changes with the time.

Periodic Costs are the costs that cannot be capitalised and are incurred for a period of time. Such as administrative costs.

Method A assumes simple interest over final fractional periods, while Method B assumes simple discount over final fractional per

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The answer is "1.1"

Explanation:

In the case of a single Interest, the principal value is determined as follows:

$\ I = Prt \\\ A = P + I\\A = P(1+rt) \\\\A = amount \\P= principle\\r = rate\\t= time$

In case of discount:

$D = Mrt \\P = M - D \\P = M(1-rt)\\\\Where, D= discount \\M =\ Maturity \ value \\$

Let income amount = 100, time = 1.5 years, and rate =20 %.

Formula:

A = P(1+rt)

A =P+I

by putting vale in the above formula we get the value that is = 76.92, thus method A will give 76.92 value.

If we calculate discount then the formula is:

P = M(1-rt)

M = 100 rate and time is same as above.

$P = 100(1-0.2 \times 1.5) \\P = 100 \times \frac{70}{100} \\P = 70$

Thus Method B will give the value that is 70

calculating ratio value:

$ratio = \frac{\ method\ A \ value} {\ method \ B \ value}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = \frac{76.92}{70}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = \frac{7692}{7000}\\\\\Rightarrow ratio = 1.098 \ \ \ \ or \ \ \ \ 1.$

Makers Corp. had additions to retained earnings for the year just ended of $261,000. The firm paid out $194,000 in cash dividend

gladu [14]

Answer:

a. $3.5 per share

b. $1.49 per share

c. $38.38 per share

d. 1.93 times

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Earning per share = (Net income) ÷ (Number of shares)

where,

Net income = Additions to retained earnings + cash dividends

= $261,000 + $194,000

= $455,000

So, the earning per share equal to

= $455,000 ÷ 130,000 shares

= $3.5 per share

b. Dividend per share = (Total dividend) ÷ (number of shares)

= ($194,000) ÷ (130,000 shares)

= $1.49 per share

c. Book value per share = (Total equity) ÷ (number of shares)

= ($4,990,000) ÷ (130,000 shares)

= $38.38 per share

d. Market to book ratio = (Market price per share) ÷ (book value per share)

= $74 ÷ $38.38

= 1.93 times
