Answer:

Sharpe ratio = 0.20

Treynor ratio = –0.005

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of average rate of returns, standard deviations and beta used in the calculation below.

a. Calculation of Sharpe ratio

Sharpe ratio refers to a  investment measurement that employed to measure the an investment actual that has been adjusted for the risk associated with the investment.

Sharpe ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Sharpe ratio = (Average fund rate - Average Risk Free rate) / Standard deviation of fund rate = (5.46% - 2.40%) / 15.05% = 0.20

a. Calculation of Treynor ratio

Treynor ratio refers to investment measurement that is calculated to show the risk of certain investments after the volatility of the market has been taking into consideration.

Treynor ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Treynor ratio = (Average market return rate - Average Risk Free rate) / Beta = (1.96% - 2.40%) / 87.53% = –0.005

While similar in some respects, the key difference between panel data and pooled cross-sectional data is that panel data consist
elixir [45]

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Pooled data occur when there is a time series of different cross sections with each observations not necessarily from the same unit while Panel data is sample from the same units. The main difference between them is the "units". The units can be countries, households, schools or other things we are collating data on.

In pooled cross section, random samples from different time periods and from different units are taken e.g. we can take data on number of females and males in schools A, B and C in 2020 and schools X, Y and Z in 2023.

In pure panel data, we are using the same units e.g we can take data on genders in schools A, B and C in 2020 and collect data from the same schools in 2023. Therefore the main difference is just the units we observe.

ddd [48]

Answer:

The selling group member earns $12 on that sale

Explanation:

When selling a bond directly to the public, a group member earns a total takedown which is the total of the additional takedown plus the selling concession.

$12 + $15

= $27

Now if a selling group member finds a customer, then $15 which is the selling concession is given up leaving the member to earn $12 (the additional takedown) on that sale.

Assume a company had the following production costs: Direct labor $ 2 per unit Direct material $ 3 per unit Variable overhead $
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Total production cost $ 14 per unit  Under absorption costing True

The total product cost per unit when 4,000 units are produced would be $22.50  False

Explanation:

Direct labor $ 2 per unit

Direct material $ 3 per unit

Variable overhead $ 4 per unit

Total variable $ 9 per unit

Fixed overhead ($50,000/10,000 units) $ 5 per unit

Total production cost $ 14

Production Costs involve the fixed costs under absorption Costing. So the total Product cost under absorption costing is $ 14.

When 4,000 units are produced the production costs are as follows

Absorption Costing: 4,000 * 14= $ 56,000

Variable Costing : 4000 * 9= $ 36,000

So the second statement is false.

While JIT systems have many benefits, they:______.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option A

Make the logistics function more complicated

Explanation:

The JIT inventory system refers to the Just In Time inventory system.

The just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is a management strategy where warehousing of parts is minimum. Rather, the raw material supply is aligned accurately with the production schedule of a particular good.

For example, in car production, the various car parts are supplied by various manufacturers at just the right time so they can be assembled to make up the car in the assembly line. The car assembly companies may not necessarily have to store raw materials in their ware house since the raw materials arrive "Just in time".

However, aligning the supply of raw materials accurately with production time, is a complicated task especially when a lot of manufacturers are involved and can need to plant down time if care is not taken. This makes the logistics function more complicated.
