Answer:
10.68%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Returns on stock : 12%, 16%, 10%, 19%, 15%, -6%
Now,
Geometric average return on the stock is calculated as:
Geometric average return = 
Thus,
For the given returns on stock
Geometric average return
=![[ (1 + 0.12)\times(1 + 0.16)\times(1 + 0.10)\times(1 + 0.19)\times(1 + 0.15)\times(1 + (- 0.06)) ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%20%281%20%2B%200.12%29%5Ctimes%281%20%2B%200.16%29%5Ctimes%281%20%2B%200.10%29%5Ctimes%281%20%2B%200.19%29%5Ctimes%281%20%2B%200.15%29%5Ctimes%281%20%2B%20%28-%200.06%29%29%20%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B6%7D%7D-1)
= ![[ 1.12\times1.16\times1.10\times1.19\times1.15\times0.94 ]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%201.12%5Ctimes1.16%5Ctimes1.10%5Ctimes1.19%5Ctimes1.15%5Ctimes0.94%20%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B6%7D%7D-1)
= ![[1.8384056768]^{\frac{1}{6}}-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B1.8384056768%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B6%7D%7D-1)
= 1.1068 - 1
= 0.1068
or
= 0.1068 × 100%
= 10.68%
Answer:
Alternative of cleaning and shipping is better as loss value is less.
Relevant cost of this alternative is $23,000 incurred for cleaning and shipping.
Explanation:
Evaluating both the proposals
In case the goods are sold as it is then net cost/ loss = Carrying value of inventory - Sales Revenue
= $125,000 - $45,000 = $80,000
In case the goods are cleaned and shipped then
Total cost = $125,000 + $23,000 = $148,000
Revenue = $80,000
Net loss/ cost = $148,000 - $80,000 = $68,000
Thus Since the loss value is less i alternative 2 that is of cleaning and shipping, it shall be chosen.
The relevant cost of that alternative is $23,000 incurred in cleaning and shipping.
It can be assumed that $104 worth of Supplies have been used?
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
