Answer:

    Variance = 5.44

Explanation:

The variance of a portfolio is a measure of the deviation of the returns of the assets making up the portfolio. Using the standard deviation, the variance can be worked out.

<em>Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks.</em>

<em>Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company . </em>

<em>The variance would be determined as follows:</em>

Variance = Sum of  P×(R- r )^2  

P- probality

R- return on each asset

r- Expected return on portfolio

r =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb)

Expected return (r) = (9% × 0.68 ) + (4% × 0.32) = 7.4 %

Outcome                 R          (R- r )^2             P×(R- r )^2  

Recession              9              2.56                1.74

Boom                     4             11.56               <u>  3.70 </u>

Total                                                           <u>  5.44 </u>

Variance = Sum of  P×(R- r )^2  

    Variance = 5.44

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

1. Able must pay Regal Corporation $599,400 on September 1, 2019, when the note matures.

2. The amount of Interest Able will recognize on this Notes Payable is 39,600

3. The total cash (including interest) paid for the building purchased by Able is $1,179,400

4. Payroll related expense does not come into picture in this question. So it is not answered.

Explanation:

1. According to the given data we have the following:

Rate of Interest = 11%

Therefore:      

Year                      Amount Interest      

September 1, 2018       $540,000      

December 31, 2018            $19,800      

September 1, 2019                     $39,600      

Total                      $540,000     $59,400

Therefore, Total Payable=Notes payable+Interest 540000      Total Payable= $540,000+$59,400

Total Payable=$599,400

Able must pay Regal Corporation $599,400 on September 1, 2019, when the note matures.

2. The amount of Interest Able will recognize on this Notes Payable is 39,600

3. To calculate The total cash paid for building purchased by Able including interest we have to make the following calculation:

Total cash paid for purchase of building=Cash paid at the time of purchase of building+Notes payable+Interest

Total cash paid for purchase of building=$580,000+$540,000+$59,400

Total cash paid for purchase of building=$1,179,400

The total cash (including interest) paid for the building purchased by Able is $1,179,400

4. Payroll related expense does not come into picture in this question. So it is not answered.
