(Click on the icon located on the top-right corner of the data table below in order to copy its contents into a spreadsheet.)

a.  Calculate the coefficient of variation for each alternative.  

A?  

B?  

C?

D?  

b.  If the firm wishes to minimize​ risk, which alternative do you​ recommend? ​ Why?

Explanation:

Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation/Expected Return * 100%

                                                   Standard

                          Expected         deviation            Coefficient of

Alternative          return               of return             variation

A                          20%                  8.5%                   42.5%

B                          25%                  8.6%                   34.4%

C                          19%                   6.6%                   34.21%

D                          16%                   4.9%                   30.63%

(b)

Coefficient of Variation, CV, denotes the risk per unit of return. This implies that a low CV means a low risk per unit of return. Hence, the firm can minimize risk by opting for option D which gives the lowest CV and therefore offers the lowest risk

Eaton Electronics uses a periodic inventory system.
aev [14]

The cost of ending inventory of Eaton Electronics on June 30 is $13,600.

<h3>What is the LIFO method?</h3>

The LIFO method values the cost of goods sold based on the assumption that goods sold are from the latest stock.

For example, using LIFO, Easton would have the two TVs sold based on the cost of the May Purchases instead of specific identification.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Beginning inventory (2 x $1,500) = $3,000

April Purchases (4 x $1,450) = $5,800

May Purchases (5 x $1,600)=  $8,000

Cost of goods available for sale = $16,800

Cost of goods sold (2 x $1,600) = $3,200

Ending inventory = $13,600 ($16,800 - $3,200)

Thus, the cost of ending inventory is $13,600.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Annual savings = 61,746.

Explanation:

The Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value (PV) of cash outflows  and PV of cash inflow

At the internal rate of return the PC of annual cash savings will be equal to the investment cost

Initial cost = 211980

PV = annual cash savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n)/ r

A=?  r-internal rate of return, 14%, n-number of years- 5

211980 = A  (1- (1.14)^(-5)/ 0.14

211,980 = A× 3.433080969

A= 211,980/3.43308

A= 61746.28619

Annual savings = 61,746.

Suppose that during the Great Depression long-run aggregate supply shifted left. To be consistent with what happened to the pric
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The aggregate demand will fall

Explanation:

The aggregate supply measures the quantity of real GDP that can be supplied by in the economy at different price levels. it measures planned output if both prices and average wage rates can change, the Long run aggregate supply curve is assumed to be vertical (this means it remains constant when the general price level changes).

The leftward shift in aggregate supply means that at the same price levels the quantity supplied of real GDP has decreased. This is mostly due to natural disasters or other supply shocks like economic depression, when there is leftward shift in aggregate there would be fewer workers available to produce goods at any given price.

Sati [7]

Saturn and Jupiter both have large quantities of liquid hydrogen and liquid metallic hydrogen while Neptune and Uranus just have the gaseous form of hydrogen because they are too little to compress hydrogen to its metallic state. Also, the two latter planets have icy cores.

The following information is available on a depreciable asset owned by Mutual Savings Bank:
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$4366.67

Explanation:

Given: Asset book value on july 1, year 3= $57800

          Salvage value= $5400

          Useful life left= 6 years.

Now, computing the depreciation expense under straight line method.

Formula; Depreciation= \frac{Asset\ book\ value - salvage\ value}{useful\ life}

Useful life in months= 6\times 12= 72\ months

Next, Depreciation expense= \frac{57800-5400}{72} = \$ 727.77

∴ Monthly depreciation expense= $ 727.77

Depreciation expense for last six months of year 3= 727.77 \times 6= \$ 4366.67

∴ Depreciation expense for last six month of year 3 is $4366.67.
