QUESTION 01 (10 points) ‐ Coefficient of Variation (CV) We need to compare volatility of multiple assets. As the assets have dif

ferent variation ranges, e.g. a big stock versus a penny stock, it is useful to look at the coefficient of variation, not the standard deviation, as a measure of volatility. We have the following population data:
Asset A Asset B Asset C
Mean ($) 181.92 0.38 247.19
Standard deviation ($) 23.48 0.09 27.31

(a) Give an equation for the coefficient of variation in percentage terms.
(b) Find volatility of the three assets. Use two decimals for percentages, e.g. 23.76%.
(c) Which asset is the least volatile? Which asset is the most volatile?

Answer:

a, Coefficient of variation

   = <u>Standard deviation</u> x 100

          Mean

b, Coefficient of variation

  Asset A

   Coefficient of variation

   = <u>$23.48</u>   x 100

      $181.92

  = 12.91%

   Asset B

  Coefficient of variation

  = <u>$0.09</u> x 100

     $0.38

 = 23.68%

  Asset C

   Coefficient of variation

  = <u>$27.31 </u>  x 100

     $247.19

  = 11.05%

Asset C is least volatile while Asset B is most volatile

Explanation:

Coefficient of variation is the ratio of standard deviation to mean (expected return) multiplied by 100. It is used to measure the volatility of assets. Asset  C has the least coefficient of variation, thus, it is the least volatile. Asset B has the highest coefficient of variation, which implies that it is the most volatile.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$4,320

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense at December 31, 2022

Using this formula

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=[(Factory equipment - Salvage value) ÷ 10]× 9/12

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=[($69,600 - $12,000) ÷ 10] × 9/12

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=$5,760×9/12

Depreciation expense at December 31, 2022=$4,320

Note that 1 April 2022 to 31st December 2022 will give us 9months

Therefore Using the straight-line method of depreciation, the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense at December 31, 2022 is:$4,320

Average daily demand is 50 units and the standard deviation is 5 units. Lead time is 2 days and the service level is 95%. A peri
Elis [28]

Answer:

475

Explanation:

The computation of the target level that should be set is given below:

= demand per day × (lead time + review period)+ safety stock

where

safety stock is

= z value at service level × standard deviation × √(review period + lead time)

= 1.64 × 5 × √(7 + 2)

= 24.67

Now the target level should be

= 50 × (7 + 2) + 24.67

= 474.67

= 475

A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $300 and other assets of $6,200. Equit
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

new earnings per share is $1.53

Explanation:

Given data

excess cash = $300

Equity is worth = $5,000

other assets = $6,200

stock outstanding  = 500 shares

net income = $720

to find out

new earnings per share

solution

we know that equity per value is Equity / stock outstanding

that is

equity per value = (5000 / 500) = 10

equity per value = $10

and

we can purchase equity with excess cash $300 that is

= excess cash / equity per value

purchase equity with excess cash = (300 / 10)  = 30

purchase equity with excess cash = 30 shares

so

after repurchase we have balance share is =  (500 - 30) = 470

balance share = 470 shares

so that

new earnings per share will be = net income / balance share

new earnings per share =  (720 / 470) = 1.53

new earnings per share is $1.53
