Answer and Explanation:
a. Here it is reasonable to presume that the treasury bond generates high returns when there is a recession.
b. The calculation of the expected rate of return and the standard deviation for each investment is shown below:
For stocks
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (29% × 0.30) + (18% × 0.50) + (-4% × 0.20)
= 8.7% + 9% - 0.80%
= 16.9%
For bonds
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (6% × 0.30) + (9% × 0.50) + (16% × 0.20)
= 1.8% + 4.5% + 3.2%
= 9.5%
Now the standard deviation calculation is to be shown in the excel spreadsheet
For the stock it is 11.48%
And, for the bond it is 3.5%
c. The investment that should be prefer could be computed by determine the coefficient of variation which is shown below:
Formula i.e. used is
= Standard deviation ÷ expected return
For stock, it is
= 16.9% ÷ 11.48%
= 1.47
And, for bonds it is
= 9.5% ÷ 3.5%
= 2.71
Since for the bonds the coefficient of variation is greater so the same is to be considered
Therefore the bond should be prefer

Answer
The answer and procedures of the exercise are attached in the following archives.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
= (440 x 90 + 220 x 80 + 264 x 50) - (440 x 56.7 + 220 x 50.4 + 264 x 31.5)
= (39,600 + 17,600 + 13,200) - (24,948 + 11,088 + 8,316)
= 70,400 - 44,352
= $26,048

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
But before reaching to the final answers, first do the following calculations
Cash collected $108000
Add Services performed in 2017(not collected) $36000
less Services performed in 2016(collected in 2017) $25000
Revenue for 2017 $119,000
Cash paid in 2017 $72,000
Add Expense incurred not yet paid for 2017 $42000
Less Expense paid for 2016 -$30000
Expense for 2016 $84000
Now
a. Cash basis
Revenue $108000
Less Expenses -$72,000
Net income $36000
b. Accrual basis
Revenue for 2017 $119,000
Less Expenses for 2017 $84,000
Net income $35,000

Date Description Number Average Cost Total Cost Cost
of Units Balance
May 7 Purchase 105 $7 $735 $735
June 1 Sales (55) $7 385 350
July 28 Purchase 63 $18 1,134 1,484
August 27 Sales (84) $13.1327 1,103 381
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Number of Units Unit Price Total Costs
May 7 Purchase 105 $7 $735
June 1 Sales (55) $7 385
July 28 Purchase 63 $18 1,134
August 27 Sales (84) $13.1327 1,103
Cost of goods sold = $1,488 ($385 + $1,103)
Ending inventory = $381
