Answer:

  1. the average expected rate of return = 3.13%
  2. the current price at which the asset would have a zero rate of return is $123.75

Explanation:

To determine the expected rate of return we must first calculate the expected future value of the asset:

$100 x 25% = $25.00

$115 x 25% = $28.75

$140 x 50% = $70.00

the expected future value = $25.00 + $28.75 + $70.00 = $123.75

the average expected return = $123.75 - $120 = $3.75

the average expected rate of return = ($3.75 / $120) x 100 = 3.13%

the current price at which the asset would have a zero rate of return is $123.75, since the average expected return = $123.75 - $123.75 = 0

Answer:

Average expected rate of return is 3.13%

The asset have a zero rate of return if at price of $120

Explanation:

Rate of return RR = \frac{Future\:Value - Initial\:Value}{Initial\:Value} \times 100

Rate of return of the first possibility:  (100-120)/120 * 100 = -16.67%

Rate of return of the second possibility:  (115-120)/120 * 100 = -4.16%

Rate of return of the third possibility:  (140-120)/120 * 100 = 16.67%

Average expected rate of return = \sum{weight_{i}RR_{i}}

= 0.25*(-16.67%) + 0.25*(-4.16%) + 0.5*16.67% = 3.13%

RR = 0 => Future Value - Initial Value = 0

The asset have a zero rate of return when future price is the same as current price ($120)

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

stockholer's equity will be overstated by $800.

Explanation:

The adjustment required is to record $800 of supplies used as an expense, hence, by carrying out the adjustment, net income is overstated by $800 so also retained earnings and shareholders' equity.

In other words,the balance that would be left in supplies is opening balance of $200 plus purchase of supplies which is $950 minus the supplies used.

balance of supplies=$200+$950-$800=$350

Option B is wrong the balance expected is $350 and the balance without adjustment is $200,that is $150 understatement not $350

Which economic tool would most likely be used as part of a contractionary
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

O B. Raising interest on reserves

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve expects banks to keep a percentage of customer deposits as reserves. The reserves cater to both the normal and unexpected withdrawals. The Federal Reserve (Fed) also uses reserve requirements as a monetary policy tool.

Interest on reserves is one of the monetary policy tools that the Fed uses regularly. The Fed pays interest on any excess reserves held by the banks. Increasing the interest paid on reserves encourages banks to hold more money.  Decreases the interest prompts the banks to lend out more. Contractionary monetary policies are measures aimed at decreasing the money supply in the economy. Increasing interest on reserves increases money held in the banking sectors, thereby slowing down money circulation.
