Answer:
a. What is the average annual return?
average annual return (mean) = (-4.5% + 28.1% + 12.2% + 3.7%) / 4 = 9.875%
b. What is the variance of the stock's returns?
variance = [(-4.5% - 9.875%)² + (28.1% - 9.875%)² + (12.2% - 9.875%)²) + (3.7% - 9.875%)²] / 4 = (206.64 + 332.15 + 5.41 + 38.13) / 4 = 582.33 / 4 = 145.5825
c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns?
standard deviation = √145.5825 = 12.06%
Answer:
Faldo Corp
Customers are paying late by 6.5 days (51.5 - 45)
Explanation:
DSO = Accounts Receivable/Sales last year * 365 days
= $60,000/$425,000 * 365
= 51.5 days
Customers are paying late by 6.5 days (51.5 - 45)
b) Faldo Corp's Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) is an estimate of the number of days it takes Faldo to collect its outstanding accounts receivable. This means that DSO measures how long it takes Faldo's customers to pay an invoice. Faldo can calculate its DSO by dividing the total accounts receivables of last year by the total credit sales of last year. This is then multiplied by 365 days.
