Answer:
a. What is the average annual return?
average annual return (mean) = (-4.5% + 28.1% + 12.2% + 3.7%) / 4 = 9.875%
b. What is the variance of the stock's returns?
variance = [(-4.5% - 9.875%)² + (28.1% - 9.875%)² + (12.2% - 9.875%)²) + (3.7% - 9.875%)²] / 4 = (206.64 + 332.15 + 5.41 + 38.13) / 4 = 582.33 / 4 = 145.5825
c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns?
standard deviation = √145.5825 = 12.06%
Answer:
The answer is: D) less than average variable cost.
Explanation:
If a company shuts down its production temporarily (not permanently), it will stop receiving revenue from the goods it used to produce but at the same time it will not be spending any money on variable costs. The company will suffer losses equivalent to its fixed costs (e.g. depreciation costs, rent, etc.).
A company decides to shut down its production when the revenue it receives from selling its products doesn't even cover their variable costs. That means it is losing money by producing its goods.
Answer:
The equivalent units for conversion cost are 28080.
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to find our how much units are being sold
Units Sold= physical units - ending units
Units sold= 31500 - 11400 = 20100
Then we need to add units sold with percentage completion of ending units in order to find out equivalent units for conversion cost
Formula:
Equivalent units for conv. cost= units sold + (%completion of ending units)
Equivalent units for conv. cost= 20100 + ( 70% ×11400)
Equivalent units for conv. cost= 20100 + 7980
Equivalent units for conv. cost= 28080
Answer: b. 36 years under scenario A, versus 18 years under scenario B.
Explanation:
The Rule of 72 is a rule in finance that will allows for the calculation of how long it will take for an investment to double given its interest rate.
The time is calculated by dividing 72 by the interest rate in question.
Scenario A
= 72/2
= 36 years.
Scenario B
= 72/4
= 18 years.
Answer:
Depreciation expense Office equipment = 1,200.00
Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 5,000.00
Explanation:
The difference between accumulated depreciation represents the depreciation charge that was made during the first quarter of the 2018 accounting year.
Then depreciation charges for the first quarter are calculated as follows:
Depreciation expense Office equipment = 800 – 400 = 400
Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 2,500 – 1,250 = 1,250
Since there are 4 quarters in an accounting year, the depreciation charge in 2018 is calculated as follows:
Depreciation expense Office equipment = 400 * 4 = 1,200
Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 1,250 * 4 = 5,000
