There are three economy situations and two stocks Information is as follows Economy Stock A Stock B Booming 0.3 10 20 Neutral 0.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

a) A = 4.50% and B = 2.00%

b) SD for A = 4.15 %

c) Portfolio Return = 3.0%

Explanation:

a) Expected Returns for Both A and B respectively:

In order to calculate the expected returns, let's categorize the given data first.

Economy Probability Stock A Stock B

Booming 0.30 10% 20%

Neutral 0.30 5% 0%

Recession 0.40 0% -10% (not 10%)

So,

Expected Return for Stock A:

A = Sum of (all Probability x Stock A)

A = (0.30 x 0.10) + (0.30 x 0.05) + (0.40 x 0.00)

A = 0.045

<u><em>A = 4.50 % </em></u>

Return for Stock B:

B = Sum of all Probability x Stock B

B = (0.30 x 0.20) + (0.30 x 0.00) + (0.40 x -0.10)

B = 0.002

<u>B = 2.0%</u>

<em>b) Standard Deviation /Risk for Stock A:</em>

SD for A = Sum (Square Root (Probability*(Stock A Return - Expected Return of Stock A)²) )

SD for A = $\sqrt{0.30*(0.10-0.045)^2 + 0.30*(0.05-0.045)^2+0.40*(0.00-0.045)^2}$

SD for A = 0.0415

<u><em>SD for A = 4.15%</em></u>

c) Portfolio Return Given that:

Value Weight Return

Stock A 4000 0.4 4.50%

Stock B 6000 0.6 2.0%

10000

Portfolio Return = Sum of ( Weight x Return)

= (0.4 x 0.045) + (0.6 x 0.02)

= 0.03

<em><u>Portfolio Return = 3%</u></em>

Superior has provided the following information for its recent year of operation:

Anika [276]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning balance of Retained Earnings = $75,000

Net income = $26,000

Ending retained earnings = $91,000

Total Balance during the year:

= Beginning balance of Retained Earnings + Net income

= $75,000 + $26,000

= $101,000

Dividend declared:

= Total Balance during the year - Ending retained earnings

= $101,000 - $91,000

= $10,000

Therefore, the amount of dividend declared by the Superior during its recent year of operation is $10,000.

8. The TS Company has budgeted sales for the year as follows: Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 Sales in units 10,000 12,0

Finger [1]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to determine the production budget using the following formula:</u>

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Quarter 1:

Production= 10,000 + (0.25*12,000) - 2,500

Production= 10,500

Quarter 2:

Production= 12,000 + (0.25*14,000) - 3,000

Production= 12,500

Quarter 3:

Production= 14,000 + (0.25*16,000) - 3,500

Production= 14,500

Quarter 4:

Production= 16,000 - 4,000

Production= 12,000

<u>Now, the direct material purchase budget:</u>

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Quarter 1:

Purchase= 10,500*4 + (12,500*0.1) - 4,200

Purchase= 39,050 pounds

Quarter 2:

Purchase= 12,500*4 + (14,500*0.1) - 1,250

Purchase= 50,200 pounds

Quarter 3:

Purchase= 14,500*4 + (12,000*0.1) - 1,450

Purchase= 57,750 pounds

Quarter 4:

Purchase= 12,000*4 - 1,200

Purchase= 46,800 pounds
