6%+9%= 15%
It depends on different factors. Portfolio B has a higher return but more volatile stocks. However it depends on how the individual can tolerate risks.
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply the concept of coefficient of variation to know the consistency of data
coefficient of variation
= standard deviation / mean or average
In case of City A
coefficient of variation = 86 / 820
= .1048
In case of City B
coefficient of variation = 75 / 790
= .0949
Since it is less for city B , rent for this city is more consistence or with less of variation
So the conclusion is false.

Answer:
(a) 8 times
(b) 45.6 days
Explanation:
Given that,
Cost of goods sold = $500,000
Average inventory = $62,500
Assume 365 days a year.
(a) Inventory turnover ratio:
= Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $500,000 ÷ $62,500
= 8 times
(b) Number of days' sales in inventory days:
= 365 days ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 days ÷ 8
= 45.6 days
