Business
1 answer:
Luden [163]3 years ago

The best definition is:

D. Profit is the financial gain for business activity minus expenses.

Explanation:

Profit is basically met by the two factors which are

-The expense met by the firm in producing the product

-The price it actually sold for in the market.

If the second factor is indeed bigger than the first, then there is profit.

Indeed, there must also be a consideration that the expenses would also include marketing, transportation and the cost for intermediaries.

It would not production cost but it would be the cost of getting the product to the consumer.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Let suppose the value of property is 100 dollars currently.

The price of a certain property increased by 10% in the first year, means the value of property at this point is (100 *1.1) 110 dollars.

In the second year the value of property decreases by 20% mean the value of property at this point is (110*0.80) 88 dollars, that is 80% of previous value determine.

In the third year the value of property increases by 25% mean the value of property at this point is (88*1.25) 110 dollars that is 25% more than previous value determine.

So in second year the value in dollars is 88 dollars.

mario62 [17]

Answer: Step 1) Find share of market in the Portfolio

(11.5-3.5)x+3.5=6.5

8x=3

x=3/8

x=0.375

=37.5%

SD of market portfolio= 0.375x+0=9.5

x=9.5/0.375

=25.33%

correl = cov / (std 1 * std2)

0.4=COV/0.2533*0.545

COV= 0.2533*0.545*0.4=0.05

cov of 2 assets = b1 * b2 * variance of market

0.05=B1*1*0.2533^2

B of security=0.0032

Capm Model

3.5+0.0032(11.5-3.5)=3.5256% expected return

Explanation:

Step 1) Find the share of market in the portfolio in order to find market SD

Step 2)  Find Covariance betweens security and market by using both SDS and correlation

Step 3) Find Beta of Security using Co variance

Financial statement auditors provide some degree of assurance that financial statements are free of material misstatement. Many
sineoko [7]

Answer:

First of all, an auditor must be skeptical about the information that he/she is gathering and analyzing. They should try to get as much audit evidence as they can in order to form an opinion. But an auditor can also reasonably assure that there are no material misstatements, either intentional or not intentional.

Most auditor procedures are intended to discover unintentional misstatements, but intentional misstatements are very hard to discover because more than one individual (or even a very large group) might have colluded in order to conceal them. The auditor gets his information from the controller, internal auditor, and other people within the organization, but what if they all colluded in order to conceal their bad actions.

E.g. an auditor should check for shipping receipts to be complete, accurate and in order, but he/she relies on information given by the same people that he/she is evaluating. The auditor can conclude that the shipping reports are complete, but he/she cannot state that they are true and valid because he/she wasn't there.
