Answer:

The probability of losing money in the next year by investing in the fund is the probability of getting any return less than 0%. We will use a z test to find out the probability.

So our

Mean= 10%

SD= 21%

Hypothesis X<0

Formula for z value = (X-Mean)/SD

0-0.1/0.21=  -0.476

Look up value in z table

=0.3192

31.92%

The probability that you will lose money in the next year by investing in this fund is 0.3192 or 31.92 %

Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm’s t

Answer:

Based on the DuPont equation and given information, ROE of Harrington Inc is 13.818%.

Explanation:

We have to find the total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc in order to apply the DuPont equation for finding ROE because net income, sales of Harrington Inc. are already given.

- To find Harrington Inc's total debt, apply the Debt-to-capital formula: The Harrington Inc's total debt/The Harrington Inc's total capital = 45% =>  Harrington Inc's total debt = The Harrington Inc's total capital * 45% = $250,000 x 45% = $112,500;

- To find Harrington Inc's total equity, apply the accounting equation Asset = Liabilities + Owner's Equity: The Harrington Inc's total equity = The Harrington Inc's total asset - The Harrington Inc's total debt = $250,000 - $112,500 = $137,500;

- Using the Dupont equation, calculate the ROE as followed:

(NI/Sales)* (Sales/ Total assets) * (Total assets/ Total common equity) = (19,000/325,000) * ( 325,000/ 250,000) * (250,000/137,500) = 13.818%.

- Thus, the ROE = 13.818%.

Midyear on July 31st, the Chester Corporation's balance sheet reported:
erastova [34]

Answer:

$76.856 million

Explanation:

As we know that Balance sheet is divided in two portions.

1. Total Assets (Current Assets + Fixed Assets)

2. Total Liabilities and Share Holders' Equity.

and they both should be equal. So we can write from the above information, as:

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Common Stock + Retained Earnings

N.B. We are excluding Cash from our calculation cause we assume that Cash is already been included in Total Assets.

Hence, by putting the values in above equation we can find our Retained Earnings as:

Retained Earnings + $128.230 million + $6.350 million = $211.436 million

Retained Earnings + $134.58 million = $211.436 million

Retained Earnings = $211.436 million - $134.58 million

Retained Earnings = $76.856 million

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

A. Income statement $8.4 million

B. Balance sheet million $35.4 million

C. Operating cash flow million $1 million

Investing cash flow million=$28 million

Explanation:

a. Calculation for Income statement million

Using this formula

Income statement=Investment revenue -Patent amortization adjustment

Let plug in the formula

Income statement= ($54 million × 1/6)-([$36 million] × 1/6]÷10 years)

Income statement=$ 9.0-$0.6

Income statement=$8.4 million

Therefore Income statement million will be $8.4 million

b. Preparation of the Balance sheet million

Cost $28 million

Add Investment revenue $9.0 million

($54 million × 1/6)

Less Dividend ($1 million)

($6 million × 1/6)

Less Patent amortization adjustment ($0.6 million)

([$36 million] × 1/6]÷10 years)

Balance sheet million $35.4 million

($28 million+$9.0 million-$1 million-$0.6 million)

Therefore Balance sheet million will be $35.4 million

c. Preparation of the Statement of cash flows

Operating cash flow million=($6 million × 1/6)

Operating cash flow million= $1 million

Investing cash flow million=$28 million

Therefore Operating cash flow million will be $1 million while the Investing cash flow million will be $28 million.

What are some reasons why the budget deficit and non budgeted spending have been adding more than $500 billion to the national d
bogdanovich [222]
There are numerous reasons, things like war, immigration, increased poverty, or things like unpredictable natural disasters. When a hurricane strikes and destroys entire cities and housing it has to be fixed quickly and that is spending that was not planned since you can't expect things like that. Wars often cost much more than what was planned because bad things happen and they need to be fixed. Immigration can lead to an increase in social welfare spending since not all immigrants find a job quickly and establish themselves in the society.

natita [175]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense and book value at the end of 2016 is shown below:

But before that first determine the cost of the asset which is

Cost of the asset is

= Purchase price + rear hydraulic  lift + sales tax

= $62,000 + $8,000 + $3,000

= $73,000

Now the depreciation expense is

= ($73,000 - $8,000) ÷ (10 years)

= $6,500

ANd, the book value is

= $73,000 - $6,500 × 2

= $60,000
