Answer:

The correct answer is 11% and 9.24%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Arithmetic return=[ r1 + r2 + r3 + r4 + r5 + r6 ] ÷ 6

By putting the value we get,

= [0.14 + 0.32 + 0.15 - 0.20 + 0.32 - 0.07 ] ÷ 6

 =0.66 ÷ 6

=0.11 or 11%

Geometric Return =  [( 1+r1 ) ( 1+r2 ) ( 1 + r3 ) ( 1 + r4 ) ( 1 + r5 )( 1 + r6]^1÷6 -1

By putting the value, we get                                  

=[(1+0.14) (1+0.32) (1+0.15) (1-0.20) (1+0.32) (1-0.07)]^1÷6 -1

=[1.14 × 1.32 × 1.15 × 0.80 × 1.32 × 0.93]^1÷6 -1

=[16.9950]^1÷6 -1

=0.9241 or 9.24%

PLS HELPPP FASTTT!!!! Which of the following is not consistent with the efficient market hypothesis?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

c. News has no effect on stock prices.

Explanation:

A foreign exchange market can be defined as a type of market where the currency of a country is converted to that of another country. For example, the conversion of the United States of America dollars into naira, rands, yen, pounds, euros, etc., at the foreign exchange market.

Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.

The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis which states that, asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market. Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.

According to the efficient market hypothesis, News has an effect on

the prices at which a stock is sold because it affects demand and supply.

Stinehelfer Beet Processors, Inc., processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $59 to buy from farmers and $2
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point (the cost of crushing) are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

                                                                                                  $

Sales revenue after crushing                                                55                          

Sales revenue at the split-off point                                        <u>81</u>

Additional sales revenue                                                       26

Further processing cost                                                        <u> (35)</u>

Net income after further processing                                     <u> (9) </u>

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

<em>Kindly note that the allocated joint costs( cost of sugar and crushing) are irrelevant. This implies that whether or not the intermediate products are processed further the joint costs are irrelevant to the decision to process the beet juice further</em>.

bogdanovich [222]

The Balanced Scorecard

Customer satisfaction:

Internal processes:

Perspective: Internal business: This perspective focuses on the things that a company has to do internally to meet and exceed customer expectations.

Goal: Productivity: This would concentrate on changes to the process involved in production.

Measure: How do we look to our shareholders?  Analysis: This would use data from the ERP system to look into success levels of company processes.

Innovation and improvement activities:

Perspective: Innovation and Learning: This perspective is concerned with making sure employees learn and grow so they can continually innovate.

Goal: Training: This would focus on providing enhanced training opportunities for employees.

Measure: What do we need to excel at? Results: This would look at changes in the skill level of employees.

Financial measures:

Perspective: Financial: This perspective has to do with the conversion of performance into financial performance and the creation of value.

Goal: Growth: This would concentrate on an increase in sales.

Explanation:

The balanced scorecard which Bryan is developing for KanO Mines helps KanO Mines to understand how to create value in the organization.  With the balanced scorecard as a strategic planning and management tool, organizational goals are communicated to KanO Mines, so that his daily activities are aligned with the organizational strategy.  It also helps him to prioritize his projects, products, and services.  The balanced scorecard does not only deal with perspectives and goals, it also helps KanO Mines and his manager, Bryan, to measure and monitor his progress towards achieving the set organizational strategic goals.

A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's una
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

$3,355

Explanation:

Accounts receivables = $ 352,000

Debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 630

Net Sales = $797,000

The company estimates that 0.5% of net credit sales are uncollectible

Estimates of uncollectible receivables

= 0.5% × $797,000

=$3985

This is the total amount to be recognized at the end of the year as Bad Debts Expense. Since a debit of $630 has been recognized already, additional debit required

= 3985 - 630

= $3,355

The amount to be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared is $3,355.
