Answer:

The correct answer is b. 350.

Explanation:

To calculate the expected profit, we use the data from the statement:

10% Yield = 25% Probability

20% Yield = 75% Probability

Profit 10% = 200 * 25%

Profit 20% = 400 * 75%

TOTAL 30% = 50 + 300 = 350

What was done was multiply the percentages of profit vs. the expected return for each group of actions. The sum of both is the total expected by investors as Microsoft profits.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Stock's expected return = 12.90%

Standard Deviation = 29.68%

Coefficient of variation = 2.30

Sharpe ratio = 0.30

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the Stock's expected return and Variance.

Given:

Risk-free rate = 4%.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Stock's expected return = Total of Stock's Expected Return = 0.1290, or 12.90%

Variance = Total of F = 0.0880890, or 8.8089%

Standard Deviation = Variance^0.5 = 0.0880890^0.5 = 0.2968, or 29.68%

Coefficient of variation = Standard Deviation / Stock's expected return = 29.68% / 12.90% = 2.30

Sharpe ratio = (Stock's expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation = (12.90% - 4%) / 29.68% = 0.30

ladessa [460]

Answer:

D) A credit to Other Financing Sources for $5,000

Explanation:

Since cash is received, you must record the $15,000 in the cash account. The accumulated depreciation account must be closed, and since accumulated depreciation has a credit balance, it is closed by debiting it. Equipment is an asset account with a debit balance and it also must be closed, ans you do that with a credit.

Other financing sources is used to record non-revenue items such as proceeds from loans, leases, sales of bonds or notes, insurance  recoveries, etc., not the sale of assets.
