Answer:

16.0996% rounded off to 16.1%

Explanation:

We can calculate the standard deviation of a portfolio, that is the total risk of a portfolio, using the following formula,

S.D = √ (w1)² (S.D1)² + (w2)² (S.D2)² + 2 (w1) (w2) (correlation) (S..D1) (S.D2)

Where,

  • w1 is the weigh-age of investment in stock/bond 1
  • S.D1 is standard deviation of returns of stock/bond 1
  • w2 is the weight-age of stock/bond 2
  • S.D2 is the standard deviation of returns of stock/bond 2
  • correlation is the correlation between the returns of stock/bond 1 and 2

We calculate the S.D of given portfolio,

S.D = √ (0.5)² (0.24)² + (0.5)² (0.12)² + 2 (0.5) (0.5) (0.55) (0.24) (0.12)

S.D = 0.160996 or 16.0996 %

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Equipment, credit, $229,100

Explanation:

we record the entry when we purchase the equipment is

we debit the equipment, and credit the cash/accounts payable depending on whether we paid the cash or purchased the equipment on account.

We debit the equipment because equipment is our asset, and when asset goes up we debit them. We credit the cash because again cash is our asset and when asset goes down we credit them.

Now at the time of disposal, we want to remove the asset from our balance sheet. Equipment is disposed now. In other words, equipment is our asset, and disposing the equipment means asset goes down, and we show this effect by credit the equipment.
