Answer:

12.16%.

Explanation:

Standard Deviation is a financial metric that is used to quantify risk. It is used for risk management strategies. One of the main uses of Standard Deviation is to calculate the Value at Risk for a Portfolio, which is the minimum/maximum loss that a portfolio can incur over a given period of time. The formula that is used to calculate the Standard Deviation of Portfolio is attached.

Standard Deviation of Portfolio =

\sqrt{x} (.1)x^{2} * (.6)x^{2}  + (.2)x^{2}  * (.4)x^{2}  + 2 * (.6) * (.4) * (.5) * (.1) * (.2) = 12.16%.

Regardless of whether a business uses FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average cost for its inventory costing system, cost of goods avail
REY [17]

Answer:

Cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold.

Explanation:

Cost of goods available for sale can be described as the <u>maximum amount</u> of inventory, stock, or goods that is possible for a firm to sell during an accounting period. It is the maximum amount because it is not possible for a firm to sell more than the cost of goods available for sale.

The cost of goods available for sale is obtained by adding beginning inventory and net purchases during an accounting period. This can be stated as follows:

COGAFS = BI + NP ............................... (1)

Where;

COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale

BI = Beginning inventory

NP = Net purchases

At the end of an accounting period, ending inventory is deducted from the cost of goods available for sale to obtain cost of goods sold as follows:

COGS = COGAFS - EI ............................ (2)

Where;

COGS = Cost of goods sold

COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale

EI = Ending inventory

Rearranging equation (2) and solve for COGAFS, we have:

COGFAS = COGS + EI ........................... (3)

Equation (3) therefore implies that the correct option is "cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold".

ABC has the following: cash, $102 million; receivables, $94 million; inventory, $182 million; other current assets, $18 million,
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Current ratio = 4.04      

Explanation:

Current ratio measures the ability of a business to settle its short term obligations using its liquid financial resources (current assets)

<em>A current ratio in excess of 2 is considered as adequate (except for some special occasions) and vice versa</em>.

Current ratio is computed as follows:

Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities

Applying this we have

                                                                                    $

Cash                                                                          102

Receivable                                                                 94

Inventory                                                                   182

Other current assets                                                <u> 18</u>

<em>Total current assets                                                 396 </em>

<em><u>To</u></em><em>tal current liability                                                 98</em>

Current ratio=    Total current assets / T<u>o</u>tal current liability        

Current ratio = 396/98= 4.04:1                        

Current ratio = 4.04
