Answer:

Expected Returns:

1. Stock A:

= (0.2 x 0.04) + (0.5 x 0.05) + (0.3 x 0.07)

= -0.02 + 0.04 + 0.12

= 0.14

= 14%

2. Stock B:

= (0.2 x -0.1) + (0.5 x 0.08) + (0.3 x 0.1)

= -0.008 + 0.025 + 0.021

= 0.054

= 5.4%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

States(s)                Probability       E(rAS)         E(rB,)

Recession                  0.2             -0.1             0.04

Normal                       0.5              0.08          0.05

Expansion                  0.3              0.1             0.07

b) An investor in Stock A's expected return is the sum of the returns under different economic scenarios of recession, normal economy, and expansion, weighed by the probabilities of each event, which the investor would expect to realize by making the investment in a security.  Stock A's expected return shows that the investor in the stock would expect a 14% return on the value of the investment.  Whereas, the same investor would expect a return of 5.4% in Stock B's investment.

Accompanying a bank statement for Borden Company is a credit memo for $12,180 representing the principal ($12,000) and interest
Brut [27]

Answer:

Dr  cash         $12,180

Cr notes receivable        $12,000

cr interest revenue             $180

Explanation:

The cash receipt implies that the company cash has improved by $12,180 which means that a debit of $12,180 would be recorded in the cash account,since an increase in asset is a debit to the specific asset account.

On the other hand,notes receivable account that was previously debited when the transaction was consummated will now be credited with $12,000 with $180 credited to interest revenue account.

The rationale for credit entry in interest revenue is that an increase in income is naturally a credit entry in the books of accounts.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

takes on the shape of an inverted U so related diversification has the best performance.

Explanation:

A portfolio variance is used to determine the overall risk or dispersion of returns of a portfolio and it is the square of the standard deviation associated with the particular portfolio.

The portfolio variance is given by the equation;

Variance = w^{2}_{1} d^{2}_{1} + w^{2}_{2} d^{2}_{2}+2w_{1}w_{2}C_{OV_{1, 2}}

Where;

w_{n} = the weight of the nth security.

d^{2}_{n} = the variance of the nth security.

C_{OV_{1, 2}} = the covariance of the two security.

The relationship between the type of diversification and overall firm performance takes on the shape of an inverted U, so related diversification has the best performance.
