Answer:

A) have zero alphas

Explanation:

Stock's alpha show show much they have over or under performed in relation to similar peer stocks. But if the stocks were correctly priced, then alpha should be 0 since no variation, either positive or negative should occur. Alpha basically measures the error in the stock's valuation. It is always better to have positive alphas because if you make a mistake then hopefully is in your favor, but alphas can also be negative and that equals unexpected losses.

This is why the CAPM model only considers beta in its calculation.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

June 1: $780/150 units= $5.2 per unit

June 10: $1,170/200 units= $5.85 per unit

June 15: $1,260/200= $6.3 per unit

June 28: $990/150= $6.6 per units

A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 210 units on hand.

Units sold= total units - ending inventory

Units sold= (150 + 200 + 200 + 150) - 210= 490 units

<u>The method with the lowest cost of goods sold will have the highest income:</u>

FIFO (first-in, first-out):

COGS= 150*5.2 + 200*5.85 + 140*6.3= $2,832

LIFO /last-in, first-out)

COGS= 150*6.6 + 200*6.3 + 140*5.85= $3,069

Weighted-average:

Weighted-average price= (5.2 + 5.85 + 6.3 + 6.6)/4= 5.99

COGS= 490*5.99= $2,935.1

The inventory method that will provide the highest gross profit is FIFO.
