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%

Why must the eliminating entries be entered in the consolidation worksheet each time consolidated statements are prepared?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The reason to prepare the consolidation worksheet is to maintain the record of what is finally entered in the books to record the transactions in between the holding and subsidiary.

This basically thus, requires the elimination of all the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and creation of such assets and liabilities into the balances of the holding(parent) company. In this manner the elimination is necessary to record.

So that there is no error in the form of multiple record of assets and liabilities, or in the form of no record of assets and liabilities of the subsidiary.

Nicole has a contract to buy 14 cases of hammers from Tyler. Tyler breaches the contract. Even though she can get similar hammer
mario62 [17]

Answer:

B) No, because she can get similar hammers elsewhere.

Explanation:

When someone sues for specific performance he/she is asking the court to order the defendant to complete performance the contract. They are not suing to recover any damages that may have resulted from the breaching of the contract.

In this case, Nicole would have probably been able to sue Tyler for some type of compensatory damages, but since the hammers are such a common good, it would be very difficult for her to obtain an specific performance order.
