Answer:

0.43

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of Security A for the minimum variance portfolio is shown below:

Weight of security A is

= (Standard deviation of Security B) ÷ (Sum of the standard deviation of securities)

= (12%) ÷ (16% + 12%)

= (12%) ÷ (28%)

= 0.43

We simply applied the above formula so that the weight of Security A

If a company is given credit terms of 2/10, n/30, it should________.
diamong [38]

Answer:

(A) pay within the discount period and recognize a savings.

Explanation:

The given credit terms of 2/10, n/30 means

If the payment is paid within 10 days so 2% discount is given and the total credit period given is 30 days

Suppose we take an example

A buys the merchandise of goods from B for $10,000 on April 1. The payment is doe by A on April 7

So, the net payment is

= $10,000 - $10,000 × 2%

= $10,000 - $200

= $9,800

The $200 shows the discount which A avails and termed as a savings

You plan to invest in bonds that pay 6.0%, compounded annually. If you invest $10,000 today, how many years will it take for you
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The answer is 16 years.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the value of an investment that is compounded annually is given by:

V(n)=(1+R)^nP

Where:

n is the number of years the investment is compounded,

R is the annual interest rate,

P is the principal investment.

We know the following:

25000=(1+0.06)^n \times 10000

And we want to clear the value <em>n</em> from the equation.

The problem can be resolved as follows.

<u>First step:</u> divide each member of the equation by 10,000:

\frac{ 25000}{10000}=(1+0.06)^n \times \frac{ 10000}{10000}

2.5=(1.06)^n

<u>Second step:</u> apply logarithms to both members of the equation:

log(2.5)=log (1.06)^n

<u>Third step:</u> apply the logarithmic property logA^n=n.logA in the second member of the equation:

log(2.5)=n.log (1.06)

Fourth step: divide both members of the equation by log1.06

\frac{log(2.50)}{log (1.06)} =n

n= 15.7252

We can round up the number and conclude that it will take 16 years for $10,000 invested today in bonds that pay 6% interest compounded annually, to grow to $25,000.

Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance that the entity’s objectives and goals will be met efficiently and effect
Strike441 [17]

Answer: The correct answer is "the cost of internal control should not exceed its benefits"

Explanation: One factor limiting the likelihood of achieving those objectives is that the cost of internal control should not exceed its benefits. The cost of performing an internal control should never exceed the benefits that this may have as a result, since in that case its performance would be uneconomical.
