The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Answer:
The cost per unit for product B is<em> $ 15 per unit</em>
Explanation:
Only Manufacturing Costs are used in Product Costing. Thus to find the Cost Per Unit of Product B, we Prepare a Manufacturing Cost Summary for Product B.
<u>Step 1 Prepare a Manufacturing Cost Summary for Product B</u>
Direct materials $ 15,000
Direct labor $24,000
Overhead costs($24,000/$36,000) × $54,000 $36,000
Total Cost for Product B $75,000
<u>Step 2 Calculate the Cost Per Unit for Product B</u>
Cost Per Unit = Total Cost / Number of Units Produced
= $75,000 / 5,000 units
= $ 15 per unit

Answer:
$175,100
Explanation:
Job 523 started on June 1 and ended on July 15
The total cost on July 15 was 10,800
The cost added in July was 164,300
Therefore the debit to cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows.
= 10,800 + 164,300
= 175,100
Hence the debit to cost of goods sold is $175,100
