Answer:

stock's returns = (0.16 - 0.09 + 0.23 + 0.24 + x) / 5 = 0.144

0.16 - 0.09 + 0.23 + 0.24 + x = 0.144 x 5

0.54 + x = 0.72

missing return (x) = 0.72 - 0.54 = 0.18 = 18%

variance = [(0.16 - 0.144)² + (-0.09 - 0.144)² + (0.23 - 0.144)² + (0.24 - 0.144)² + (0.18 - 0.144)²] / 5 = (0.000256 + 0.054636257 + 0.007396 + 0.009216 + 0.001296) / 5 = 0.014560051

standard deviation = √0.014560051 = 0.1207 = 12.07%

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$1,059,050

Explanation:

The computation of the anticipated level of profits for the expected sales volumes is shown below:

Expected sales             209,000                      305,000

Particulars                     Chicken                          Fish

Sales                              $815,100                       $1,525,000

Less:

Variable cost                -$407,550                     -$762,500

Contribution margin      $407,550                      $762,500

Now the profit would be

= Total contribution margin - total fixed cost

= $407,550 + $762,500 - $111,000

= $1,059,050

The sales are variable cost are come by multiplying the units with its price per taco.

A bond issued by the State of Pennsylvania provides a 5.75% yield. What yield on a Synthetic Chemical Company bond would cause t
sineoko [7]

Answer: 8.85%

Explanation:

GIVEN THE FOLLOWING ;

Municipal bond yield = 5.75%

After-tax rate = 35%

In other to produce the same after tax rate, What should be the yield of the synthetic company bond;

Assume yield on synthetic company bond = SC yield ;

We can connect our assumption using the mathematical relation below;

Municipal bond yield = after tax bond yield

5.75% = SC yield (1 - tax rate)

5.75% = SC yield (1 - 35%)

5.75% = SC Yield × 65%

SC yield = (5.75/65)%

SC yield = 0.08846%

SC yield = 8.85%
