Answer:

Consider the following explanation and calculation

Explanation:

In the existing portfolio, the risk or standard deviation is 28%

The Correlation Coefficients(CorC) of the 4 stocks in the portfolio is 0.4

Higher the CorC higher the risk of the portfolio.

The market standard deviation is 20%, which is below the current portfolio SD

The 40 stocks being added to the portfolio have a lower CorC of 0.3 (than the 0.4 of the existing stocks).

Since we are adding stocks with lower SD (20% market average) and lower CorC, this would bring down the risk of the portfolio.

This would narrow down to the options B and D.

But since no stock being added has a negative CorC, the possibility of the risk being cancelled (to 0%) is not present.

So the correct option is B.

Other way to look at it would be adding more and more stock from the market to the portfolio will bring the portfolio itself more and more closer to the market itself aligning the SD of portfolio equal to the market which is 20%

Accounts receivable from sales to customers amounted to $40,000 and $32,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively.
natima [27]

Answer:

a. $118,000

Explanation:

When preparing a cash flow statement, using indirect method we add decrease in current assets and we deduct increase in current assets.

Here it is provided that income reported = $110,000

Opening balance of accounts receivables = $40,000

Closing balance of accounts Receivables = $32,000

Change in Accounts receivables = Closing - Opening = $32,000 - $40,000 = - $8,000

Therefore there is decrease in accounts receivables which is a current asset.

Thus Cash Flow from operating activities

Net Income = $110,000

Add: Decrease in current assets = $8,000

Net cash flow from operating activity = $118,000

Correct option is

a. $118,000

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$138,000

Explanation:

The computation of the machine cost that would be reported is shown below:

= Purchase value of machine + shipping cost + installation cost + testing cost

= $126,000 + $3,000 + $4,000 + $5,000

= $138,000

At the time of reporting the machine cost, we have to consider all the cost that is related to the machine. Therefore, all the given cost is considered.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

D. "Great brands do more than just get attention, they make emotional connections."
