Answer:

C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing Cost of Stock ABC purchased = $40 per share

Purchasing Cost of Stock DEF purchased = $35 per share

Time = 6 months

Selling price of share of ABC = $42 per share

Selling price of DEF share = $36

Dividend paid to the DEF = $0.5 each quarter i.e $0.5 twice in 6 months

Thus,

Total dividend paid to DEF = $0.5 × 2

= $1

Now,

For ABC

Total return = Selling price - Purchasing Cost

= $42 - $40

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $40 ] × 100%

= 5%

For DEF

Total return = Selling price + Dividend received - Purchasing Cost

= $36 + $1 - $35

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $35 ] × 100%

= 5.7%

Hence,

option C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%.

Career Services, Incorporated sold some office equipment for $52,000 on December 31, 2021. The journal entry to record the sale
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Date of selling machine is 31 Dec 2021, then gain of $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then gain of 2,000

Explanation:

Depreciation per year = (original cost $80,000  - residual value $5,000)/ useful life of 10 years

= $7,500 per year

Date of purchase: January 1, 2009

Date of sold:  December 31, 2021

⇒ Actual life of this machine = 13 years, but the maximum depreciation as accounting rule is for 10 year only

After 13 years, the book value = original cost - depreciation booked

= $80,000 - $7,500*10 = $5,000

Gain/ Loss =  sold price - boo value = $52,000 - $5,000 = $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then we have:

Gain/ Loss = sold price - book value

= $52,000 - ($80,000 - $7,500*4) = 2,000

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Zscore = (x - mean) / standard deviation

Given the data:

X : 462 490 350 294 574

The second observation = 490

The mean and standard deviation of the data could be obtained using a calculator :

Mean = 434

standard deviation = 112

ZSCORE = (490 - 434) / 112

ZSCORE = 56 / 112

ZSCORE = 0.5
