Solution:
In years Best estimate of return Working note
5 12.36% ((5-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-5)/(40-1)*0.126)
10 12.06% ((10-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-10)/(40-1)*0.126)
20 11.45% ((20-1)/(40-1)*0.1024)+((40-20)/(40-1)*0.126)
The formula for the return on assets is calculated by dividing the net income by the total average assets. The profit margin and total asset sales can also be represented as a consequence of this ratio. For the calculation of the total asset return, either formula may be used.
Answer:
J = 0.422
K = 0.58
Explanation:
When a portfolio is said to have risk that is equal to market, this means that the beta is equal to 1.
Let us define the weight of stock J = x
Let us define the Weight of stock K = (1-x)
To get the The Beta of portfolio = (x*1.26) + ((1-x)*0.81) = 1
When we open the brackets,
1.26x + 0.81 - .81x = 1
1.26x-0.81x = 1-0.81
0.45x = 0.19
To get x we divide through by 0.45
X = 0.422
Therefore the Weight of stock J = 0.422
Then the Weight of stock K = 1 - 0.422 = 0.578
Approximately 0.58
Explanation:
1) Famous celebrities and the people with lots of money are often seen with workers round them for their household chores/tasks. Although they are paying money for the work they could have done by themselves but if we analyze closely, they are actually taking advantage of the opportunity cost. The time when they were suppose to do the household work, now they are performing other task in that time which will be giving them much greater economic benefit, taking advantage of the concept of opportunity cost. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo can focus on his workout and daily exercise instead of making daily meals for himself, so he should have hired someone to do the meal work for him while he perform his workout which will help him on the field and will earn him much money.
2) Yes, it is possible for 2 countries to benefit from trade as a whole because they can get into an agreement by allowing free trade between the countries, for example, both the countries could agree that all the trade which will be executed between them would be tax free and no duties will be paid on them. This way the trade numbers would increase and industrialization would take place to meet the export/import orders. On the contrary, trading individually can be not so beneficial because there will be no free trade agreements between individuals i.e. no free lunches, that is why it could cost individuals much more than they can make money out of it.
3) One of the main reasons to oppose policies that restrict trade among the nations is that GDP. GDP is a measure of growth in any country, therefore when there will be no trade among countries, it would result in less productions of goods and services which which lead to less industrialization, which then will result to low employment and more unemployment, ultimately resulting in very low growth for any country and since growth is the only way forward for any nation, economists oppose policies that restrict trade among countries/nations.
I hope this detailed answer of mine help the poster.
Thank You and Good Luck.
If a government is trying to encourage economic growth, they would do all of these things except raise taxes. Raising taxes has the opposite effect and will slow growth because it takes more money out of the economy that could be used for growth and expansion.
Answer:
$3,355
Explanation:
Accounts receivables = $ 352,000
Debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 630
Net Sales = $797,000
The company estimates that 0.5% of net credit sales are uncollectible
Estimates of uncollectible receivables
= 0.5% × $797,000
=$3985
This is the total amount to be recognized at the end of the year as Bad Debts Expense. Since a debit of $630 has been recognized already, additional debit required
= 3985 - 630
= $3,355
The amount to be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared is $3,355.
