Answer:

Total Return = 10.45%

Explanation:

To calculate the return, we must first determine the appreciation in the value of the securities in terms of the US dollar.

The initial investment in terms of US dollar was of,

Initial Investment in USD = Investment in Pounds * Exchange rate

Initial Investment in USD = 2340 * 1.52

Initial Investment in USD = $3556.8

The current value of the investment in terms of USD is,

Current value of investment in USD = 2440 * 1.61

Current value of investment in USD = $3928.4

The formula to calculate total return is,

Total Return = (Current Value - Initial Value) / Initial Value

So, the total return based on US dollars was:

Total return  = (3928.4 - 3556.8) / 3556.8

Total Return = 0.10447 or 10.447% rounded off to 10.45%

VashaNatasha [74]

Parametric estimation is a  techniques that uses a statistical relationship to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and other project parameters

Parametric estimation is a quantitative method (statisitical relationship) used to estimate the project cost, resources, and duration based on historical data and other project parameters.

Parametric estimation models are used when:

  1. There is precedent
  2. The model is a unit hence can be scaled up
  3. The parameters required are easily quantifiable

While the other options of this question is incorrect because:

b. grass roots estimating

Cost estimation done by the individuals who will be performing the task being estimated.

c. empirical estimating

Estimation method in which the data is obtained using empirical formulas. It is usually based on an amalgamation of historical data, assumptions, guesses, and personal experience.  

d. analogous estimating

Also called top-down estimating, this is a technique that involves comparing previous projects, personal experiences and cursory cross-referencing observed costs to estimate time resources required. This technique is most useful in the absence of quantifiable data.

The financial statements for Harold Corporation contained the following information: Accounts receivable $ 5,000 Sales revenue 7
worty [1.4K]

Answer: $45,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts receivable = $ 5,000

Sales revenue = $75,000

Cash = $15,000

Salaries and wages expense = $20,000

Rent expense = $10,000

Net income = Sales revenue - Salaries and wages expense - Rent expense

                   = $75,000 - $20,000 - $10,000

                   = $45,000
