Answer:

15.26%

Explanation:

Given:

Expected return = 15.1% = 0.151

Expected loss in recession = - 8% = - 0.08   [negative sign depicts loss]

Expected earning in a boom = 18% = 0.18

Probabilities of a recession = 2% = 0.02

Probabilities of a normal economy = 87% = 0.87

Probabilities of a boom = 11% = 0.11

Now,

Expected return = ∑ (Probability × Return)

or

0.151 = 0.02 × ( - 0.08) + 0.11 × 0.18 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy

or

0.151 = - 0.0016 + 0.0198 + 0.87 × Return on normal economy

or

0.151 - 0.0182  = 0.87 × Return on normal economy

or

Return on normal economy = 0.1526

or

= 0.1526 × 100%

= 15.26%

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation states that;

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity as at 2016 = Assets - Liabilities

= 50 - 13

= $37 million

Equity as at 2017 = Assets - Liabilities

= 77 - 18

= $59 million

1. Timmy issued $13 million of stock and declared no dividends.

<em>The Net Income ( loss) will be the figure that gives the Statement of Equity a figure of $59 million.</em>

Net Income = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  - Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 - 13

= $9 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 13

Net income  ......................................................................9

Less: Dividends declared......................................................0

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

2. Timmy issued no stock but declared dividends of $17 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared

= 59 - 37 + 17

= $39 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 0

Net income  ......................................................................39

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(17)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

3. Timmy issued $20 million of stock and declared dividends of $27 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared -  Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 + 27 - 20

= $29 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 20

Net income  ......................................................................29

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(27)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

11111nata11111 [884]

Outsourcing is so sophisticated that even core functions such as engineering, research and development, manufacturing, information technology, and marketing can be moved outside the firm.

   The practice of employing a third party from outside a business to carry out tasks or produce commodities that were previously completed in-house by the business's own employees and personnel is known as outsourcing. Companies typically engage in outsourcing as a cost-cutting strategy.

   The outside business, often referred to as the network operator or third-party provider, makes arrangements for its own personnel or technological resources to carry out the duties or offer the services either on-site at the premises of the hiring business or at other places.
