Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Since the question suggests a combined expected return portfolio of 12.8%, we ignore the standard deviation for both of the securities.

The percentage of the portfolio will consist of security A, Wa =

(Combined portfolio expected return - expected return of security B) / (expected return of security A - expected return of security B)

Wa = (0.128 - 0.11) / (0.14 - 0.11)

Wa = 0.018/0.03

Wa = 0.60 = 60%

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$49,084.51

Explanation:

days of sales outstanding (DSO) = accounts receivable / average daily sales

71 days = $205,000 / (total sales / 365 days)

total sales / 365 days = $205,000 / 71 days

total sales = ($205,000 / 71 days) x 365 days = $1,053,873.24

after the change, annual sales will decrease by 15%:

$1,053,873.24 x (1 - 15%) = $895,792.25

average sales per day = $895,792.25 / 365 = $2,454.23 per day

new DSO = accounts receivable / average sales per day

20 days = accounts receivable / $2,454.23 per day

accounts receivable = $2,454.23 per day x 20 days = $49,084.51

Which of these gives companies an anticompetitive impulse? consumer behavior the profit motive market research efficiency
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The profit motive

Explanation:

Although the <em>profit motive</em> is essential and common among all businesses that exist, it is by nature anti-competitive, meaning it is not a trait used to create substantial competitive advantage. It is a notion that will certainly not attract customers. However, it is always present (and most customers know that), but the profit motive will never be communicated through mrketing activities etc.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The Total Cost of Inventory is $4,024,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cost is shown below:

= Purchase cost + ordering cost + carrying cost

where,

Purchase cost = Annual consumption × Cost per unit\

                       = 80,000 × $50

                       = $4,000,000

Ordering cost = (Annual demand ÷ EOQ) × Cost to place one order

                       = (80,000 ÷ 8,000) × $1,200

                       = $12,000

Carrying cost = (EOQ ÷ 2) × carrying cost percentage × Cost per unit

                      = (8,000 ÷ 2) × 6% × $50

                      = $12,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $4,000,000 + $12,000 + $12,000

= $4,024,000
